It's just been brought to my attention that there is a youth "fight club" running in the city where young (high-school aged?) people meet, fight and video tape the fights for later posting online.  
 
The proof is in the Youtube account "Brandon Beatdown", which has videos of many fights. I won't post the link here, but if you choose to seek it out on Youtube be forewarned that these fights involve sometimes graphic exchanges of blows. 
 
Considering that this type of thing is generally highly illegal, I'm surprised that:  
- #1 this is going on in our very city and involving this many kids  
- #2 they are posting the videos publicly on Youtube for all (including parents and authorities) to see, and giving the names of the kids involved in the fights (in some cases both first and last names)  
 
One comment references the location of the last fights as being the skate park/Queens Park. Another comment references the next fights as being next weekend.

My advice to those involved in this is to strongly re-consider. Going by the comments on the Youtube account, the police are very much aware. At some point someone is going to get seriously hurt. Not only that, but once these videos are online they could very well be out there forever. Imagine a prospective employer ANYWHERE in the world Googling your name in five years and coming up with one of these videos.  
 
Here is a link from the recent busting of a "club" in the USA... note the mention of participants AND witnesses facing criminal charges if identified:
