i'm gonna talk about "fight club".

i live on a culdesac. yesterday, coming home i saw about 15 young men walking down to the end. i say they were about in their late teens. i parked the car, and took in my groceries. i then went back out to check it out. what i saw was very strange..two of the guys had taken off their shirts and were standing toe to toe wailing on each other. they then switched to a ground and pound game and rolled around on the asphalt elbowing each other.. the rest of the crowd was filming the event..no yelling, no cussing..no fanfare. it was eerily quiet. a few guys looked at me and i could see them whisper to each other..i went back into the house and left them alone. i did see the neighboring old lady at the window on her phone. then just like that..the crowd walked back past my house and away..

come on!! tell me there are no real fight clubs..seriously? the cops showed up a few moments later..but all was normal again.

When I was 16 my friend and I would peel our shirts off and start beating on each other. The only rule was no face shots. It was great fun.

I'm pretty naive re: gangs but I thought initiations to be a group beating.

Not that I have any first-hand knowledge, but a couple TV documentaries about gangs said this is how it works

Would have probably been even more fun if you boys didn't have that no-bukaki rule.

This video is hard to get to. The video is “protected” you have to have a link to get to it. The channel it is on is “This channel is not available.” is not available. This is allegedly Trayvon and others in a Fight Club like scene near his school in Miami, Florida. I read elsewhere that Trayvon regularly refereed for these street fighting sessions. (So they practiced fighting?) But *they* claim that Trayvon was not the aggressor in the Trayvon - Zimmerman incident (and case).
