"For months, the dark videos with the homemade feel beamed out over the Web site: Bedraggled men beating each other to a pulp. A scruffy street person ramming his head into a wall. Another poor fellow ripping out his own tooth with a pair of pliers....Howls of protests ensued. Advocates for the homeless demanded that the young men promoting the video be prosecuted." (LOS ANGELES TIMES) This article describes how four young men "stand charged with a felony for allegedly soliciting the violent acts" performed by homeless men which were captured on camera and sold on videos.
