^^^ He makes a good point, and I went back to see if my OP on this story included the "square off" at the start of the fight.
Thankfully it did.
I didn't bother posting it along with his video, since the video in the tweet you posted is actually a few seconds longer (and thus is not one of the "clipped" videos he was criticizing), and it seemed pointless to post it again.
Yeah, I checked that myself.
The link he provided to the "unclipped" video (buried in the description section of his video) was to the following:

Not that it matters, I guess - Twitter seems to be preventing it from being embedded. (Can anyone else see it? I can't.)
Dear Friends and Family,
I am organizing this Gofundme for Kaylee’s family.
With heavy hearts I am asking for support for our beloved Kaylee and family. In minutes, this family's life shattered when their only daughter was assaulted outside of a North County high school. She was left alone on the ground to convulse before EMTs arrived on the scene. She was admitted to one of the local hospitals in Saint Louis with a skull fracture and frontal lobe damage.
She has major brain bleeding and swelling and is in critical condition. Kaylee is fighting hard to stay alive and heal but this is only the beginning of a very uphill battle for Kaylee and her family. We will not know the extent of the brain damage that has occurred until she wakes up but the path to recovery will be extremely hard on the family, not only mentally but financially. Her mother and father are staying by her side night and day hoping to bring her back to the Kaylee they know and love. Your support would help with lost wages and piling up medical bills due to intensive care treatment.
Every Donation, big or small, will go directly towards easing these stressful days, allowing Kaylee's family to be able to be there 100% for her day and night and help with the medical bills that they foresee.
For anyone that is or cannot donate now, please keep Kaylee in your thoughts and prayers for a full recovery. Please share this far and wide so that we can reach everyone’s hearts in this family's time of need.
The overwhelming response from friends, family, and the community has already brought the family to tears. They offer everyone their deepest gratitude. Thank you for coming together for them in this time of need.

Can you really claim assault when you throw the first punch?
I suspect this was not just some random white girl that got beat down.
More than likely they were fighting over some perceived "diss" or some "boyfren" and what looks like a 90 lb. white girl went into a bareknuckle fight with the equivalent of a silverback gorilla and will probably end up dead or brain damaged for the rest of her life because of her error.
White kids, pay attention:
No matter how much you think you are "down with the brown" you are not.
They will kill you in what would normally be a high school slap fest.
Unless you know you pack the gear, walk away.

No, probably not.
I already addressed this in a previous post.
I posted this as an update on her condition, which seems to be the only one out there, not necessarily as a plea to donate.
I understood that. Just saying as an overall response to what's in the Go fund me letter. It's sad for the family, and obviously the response was disproportional, but it is what it is.
Yes it is.
In a sane world, that girl would not have been placed in a school environment where she was the 5 percent minority in a school full of blacks.
I was placed in the same environment and it was a fight daily.
Instead of the situation I laid out in my reply, she could just as easily have been defending herself and "calling out" a fellow student who had been carrying out daily abuse and torment.
None of this is known, it's all speculation.
All that is known is that a much stronger and much larger combatant escalated a street slap fest into a counter attack with potentially lethal consequences.
I was hesitant to comment on this incident not knowing any of the facts. My only comment is it is sickening to see that young girl get her head slammed into the pavement like that. That is criminal in my mind.
Dear Friends and Family,

This twitches my "online-scam paranoia" nerve.
Every reference to her name I've seen spells it "Kailee", not "Kaylee".
All the tweets previously posted to this thread about this incident use "Kailee".
All the articles I've seen about the incident (such as here, here, and here) also use "Kailee".
Maybe it's nothing.
It might be that "Kailee" is just a misspelling that got into circulation early and become widespread as it was repeated by others.
Or maybe not.
