Emo Teen Uses YouTube to Fight Back Against 'Juggalo' Bully

The assault on the Newark, Ohio teen took place in September, but it was only last week that she got her hands on the footage and uploaded it. But in that short time span, over 1,000 people watched the video on CNN's iReport, and almost 2,000 on YouTube. In the video (embedded after the break) you can see Alexis clearly trying to avoid conflict, and even refusing to retaliate when her attacker strikes her in the face. Worse yet, several even more cowardly teens can be heard egging her on shouting, "I want to see a fight."
Now that the footage is in the hands of authorities, Alexis' bully, Lisa, is facing charges of assault, menacing, and unlawful restraint, while those encouraging her are being actively sought by police for potential charges as well.
What prompted this physical confrontation? Alexis said she didn't like the Insane Clown Posse -- a "rap" group that we thought was forgotten about with the death of misogynistic rap metal. In fact, we're still trying to figure out how this Faygo swilling Juggalette managed to find relevance at all in almost-2010.
Much is made of cyber-bullying, but ultimately the Internet and social networks may prove to be a greater tool for the victims. By exposing bullies for what they are -- insecure miscreants too cowardly to confront their own personal faults -- tools like YouTube and Facebook could shame many of them into behaving like human beings.

Not gonna lie... I've never heard of a juggalo before now... and still I'm pretty sure I'm safe in saying I've got no respect anyone willing to call themselves a juggalo. Reminds me of a jug of poor etiquette, nearly illiterate buffalo... that don't taste nearly as good in a sandwich.
Also... Ohio... c'mon, that state has GOT to do better than this if it wants to consider itself a northeastern state.
