Snowmaggedon 1.0 in Time Lapse
FOX 5's Paul Wagner reports on the existence of a 5-minute YouTube video that police have been using to make arrests after a big fight between two groups of girls at the Paradise at Parkside Apartments in Northeast. The original video has since been removed from YouTube, but FOX 5 shot its own video of the original off of a computer screen, which we've re-posted below. This version has no audio, but you can clearly see several young women who are variously armed with knives, sticks and rocks, and at least one woman appears to have a belt in her hand. Nothing really happens except a large group of girls shouting at and chasing each other through the apartment complex's common areas, until the 4 1/2 minute mark, when a fight finally breaks out, and then a woman attempts to use her car to run down several people involved. At least one person, a young man, appears to be injured at the very end.

Was this a pack of girls?
A gaggle of girls
minimum sentence should include birth control and/or sterilization.
Wow, girl fight and go-go in the same post. Is it hot in here or is it just you?
Sounds like a really inaccurately named apartment complex.
Developers and marketers shouldn't be allowed to name buildings. I was driving out of the city on NH Ave last week and passed by "Presidential Towers" or "Presidential Condos"...it looked like a rundown motel. Further up the road we passed "The Chateau" which looked more like these.
They really shouldn't. The most inaccurately named apartment building ever is The Gables in Takoma, which has a flat roof with no gables whatsoever.
Seriously. I live by the Red Roof Inn in Chinatown, which has a dark green roof. What a ripoff.
You would never see this sort of behavior at The Bi**hslap Dwellings, or even at The Babydaddington.
Just think how much better this would have been if these girls were wearing Winkers Jeans.
Just horrible camerawork. I mean, really - the herky-jerky thing is so 1999, the composition was way off, and the colors were all washed-out.
I expected better from a YouTube gang fight video...where's your pride, NE?!!?!?
Where do I join up?
Get back in the hoopty, Liz.
I think you mean get back on the hood Liz.
The video of a video was impressive journalism, but to really get the story, they should have taken a video of the video of the video.
That was a REALLY boring video.
Video of a video? That's so 1998. You can download a screener in HD on the pirate bay.
Needs more Baby Buster. This is never going to top the sales of "“Boyfights 2Boys Will Be Boys plus Baby Buster in Too Old To Breastfeed”
Well, if you're going to roam your apartment complex carrying a stick to beat people with, by all means, do it in a trendy maxi-dress.
Yeah, this video seriously evokes something out of a primitive era. That girl wielding a heavy stick, wandering in a loose pack? Reminds me of some sort of prehistory movie.
Was anybody looking forward to two 600 pd. behemoths sumoing it out?
Videotaping public fights for purposes of personal gratification should really be limited to hobos.
