I am surprised by strongly race is playing in this discussion. I have seen a single news report about this "game" and race was not brought up, and one of the video examples was definitely black on black and I think one was three white guys "playing".
These are arrogant irresponsible kids not thinking through there actions, but that is hardly a new phenomenon. I can think of heavy reports of groups of kids beating and in some cases killiing homeless people a number of years ago, seems to me to be pretty much the same thing. I bet if you look through history disenfranchised amoral youths have always prayed on unsuspecting or weak targets.
