The circulation of the "to the death" battle video which at the outset appeared to be between two female students of the Mucurapo West Secondary School prompted reactions of surprise and horror.
This apparent shock and indignation is one of the reasons why this is happening in our schools. Many of us gawk at it and say, "Look at dem animals," but that's about it. Our children don't go to "those schools" so we really don't care. These children's parents are just as likely to turn up at the school and assault teachers anyway, so it is all part of the natural selection we've set up for ourselves. When they grow up they will go work in the regional corporation directly behind the school and that's that.
If you examine the particular fight video in question, you can see where what begins as a fight between two girls, spreads outwards into combat with previously unaffiliated MMA (Mucurapo martial arts) fighters throwing their fists into the fray either to block others from spoiling a nice fight, or doing their part to ensure that street justice is served. While all of this is unfolding, passers-by do as their designation requires and pass by.
