GUILTY FL - Five teens for video beating of 16yo girl, Highland City, 2008

[SuziQ]

TopGunner, someone needs to screen capture Nichols' Myspace and send it to the judge asap. This girl is dangerous and needs to go right back to jail.

 

[philamena]

I agree 100%!

Also click on this link...read the 'titles' on you tube.
chics fighting, black chicks fighting, girls fighting.... it goes on and on. And as you can clearly see, I got to page 34. 34 pages, SO FAR, with 20 videos on EACH PAGE. That's 680 videos of girls fighting.

I alerted you tube and sent emails to several venues. Now I'm sending letters to the major cable news networks with that info. Will it make a difference? Who knows, but it's worth a try.

ate: On a blog representing itself as Mercedes Nichols MySpace page, thanks to a tip from a commenter, the blog says “f*** ya’ll. I’d do it again.” The blog is loaded with confederate flags and offensive racial language. She claims to be a Christian and want children someday, while her interests include “Networking, Dating, Serious Relationships, Friends.” In one of her photos, she claims to own camouflage gear for killing in the woods and advises that her enemies stay out of the woods. Ms. Nichols attends Mulberry High School with the victim, Victoria Lindsay.

Not only that but her theme song on her myspace is preformed by a female rapper. The name of the song is, brace yourselves,
Can I smell your d**k.

Mercedes is one nasty little attempted murdereing .
PLEASE, Topgunner, send that info to LE.

Dr. Phil Butts In ... Again

Apparently Dr. Phil didn't learn much from his interference with Britney Spears. Paging Dr. Fame .

Holy crap! I cannot believe Dr. Phil jumped into this. And I don't believe it was just a staff member that bailed the girl out. That was too much money changing hands for him not to have known about it. :furious:

Here's the latest story, and I think Dr. Phil himself ought to apologize much more strongly than this instead of sending a lacky to do it:

Staff members of the talk show helped Mercades Nichols — one of eight teens facing charges in the case — post bond this weekend, "Dr. Phil" McGraw's spokeswoman Terri Corigliano said in an e-mail.

"We have helped guests and potential guests in the past when they need financial assistance to come on the show — assisting with clothing allowance, lost wages, accommodations, travel and necessities," Corigliano wrote. "In this case, certain staff members went beyond our guidelines (re the bail being paid).

"These staff members have been spoken to and our policies reiterated. In addition, we have decided not to go forward with the story as our guidelines have been compromised."

The show's producers were in the process of booking guests for a program about the case, Corigliano wrote.

Only two of the teens remained jailed late Saturday night, Polk County Sheriff's Office spokesman Scott Wilder said.

He has done lots of shows about the effects of bullying on children, but I never thought he would glorify the bullies. omg - whatever happened to "tough love" when you made kids pay for their mistakes?

They will pay, one day. I believe in karma and what goes around comes around.

 

[Taximom]

Yeah, Dr Phil ought to apologize and ask for his bail money back. I can't believe how pissed off I am about this!

Isn't that sweet. The lack of remorse and the defiance shown on that page tells me we won't have to wait long for her to land back in jail.

 

[SuziQ]

So if someone is arrested for a bail violation, I assume bail would be revoked? What happens to the bail money that was already offered up?

 

[Mygirlsadie]

I have to say this has to be the worst thing Dr.Phil could of done. What he tried to do with Britney didn't even bother me. This has got my blood boiling. Does Dr.P realize what this just did to those losers ego's? They already think they are bad a$$. Which I find so funny because I would love to stick them in a room with some real bad a$$ girls and watch them get their faces stomped in. I think it might happen in jail. I agree with someone else who said this case has brought the worst out in me and I don't think I ever felt like this before about anything....

This is the same girl who's mother was the most defensive and who's last name is Garcia or something similar? Even if her mother is remarried and that is a stepfather's last name, does this not realize that she has people of a different "minority" race in her own family? Gosh, they are just losers all around. Scary thought about this girl "wanting kids" and so on.

If someone is picked up for a bail violation, they are put in jail.Bail is to insure that they will show up at trial. So, IOW, the idea is to let you be free while you are awaiting trial, but you have to put up cash or bond and follow certain rules in order to remain free. If you blow the rules, your freedom is forfetied, not the bail.

Hi Thoughtfox, Taximom, Suzi and all ...

We've been watching the clips from this "video" on other side of the world: heinous. And yes, while I agree it's akin to some wild-animal-style pack-mob, unless the animals are brain-infected with rabies, trained that way or starving and provoked .... not even animals show such cunning. (JMO - animals are often better than humans...).

When I saw headlines that Dr. Phil apparently paid bond, I could have curled up and died. For 1st time ever, I emailed the show (not that they'll even read all the emails??) and said it's atrocious that a TV SHOW should step in and bond out teens; that, in my opinion, the message there could be that future pack-mob "teens" would increase the brutality, just to get on national TV (out-do the last vicious teens). Why didn't Dr. Phil bring *victims* of brutality on his show? Money and ratings. Wow.... that's chronic.

Watching that video? Well, sorry to say those in the media saying "these are just kids, man - kids do this stuff..." are totally in denial; they're blinded by reality. For parents to tut-tut this stuff - is even scarier. Those 2 boys are equally to blame, IMO. They knew exactly what was going on; they were protecting the thugs and therefore enabling this sick ordeal - and it IS sick.

Someone earlier mentioned Shanda Sharer. Maybe Dr. P should tell that story on national TV. Kids today are bored and the Internet is giving them a scary platform as a "feel good & brag" instrument of horror.

Boy, there but for the grace of God ....

I wouldn't be surprised to hear Dr P's people say this was all done without his knowledge or approval to save face. When I heard this, I had to come here because I knew you folks would be fuming. Ridiculous. Now every wanna be famous is going to think they can get on tv by video taping some horrendous act on an innocent victim.

 

[TopGunner]

OK everyone, I sent the information off to Sheriff Judd. If anyone else wants to write, you can find the email address at this link:

Malapoo, I don't believe for a minute that Dr. Phil's staff is left alone to do as they please for his shows. Especially something like this. I believe he knew exactly what was going on, but just like in the Brittney situation, the rash of negative feedback he's getting is making him back-peddle big time. He's rather apparent if you ask me.

Oh I agree, "the buck stops right on his desk". I just think some of his supporters will defend him this way. I've never watched his show mainly because I'm not home during that period, but from interviews and clips he's always rubbed me as a bit pompous.

 

[dottierainbow]

Maybe I got lost in the shuffle or does anyone know the myspace page for Mercedes? Thanks!

Whats her myspace page?
