Calif. Bumfight Filmmakers to Stand Trial
31 minutes ago


EL CAJON, Calif. - Three filmmakers have been ordered to stand trial on charges they paid homeless men and women to beat each other up on camera, then sold videotapes of their fights over the Internet.



A Superior Court judge on Monday ordered the defendants to stand trial in June on misdemeanor charges.


Ryan McPherson, 19, Zachary Bubeck, 25, and Daniel J. Tanner, 21, are charged in connection with a video that dhahahahats homeless men and women engaged in humiliating, self-destructive acts, including ripping out teeth and ramming themselves into doors.


"Bumfights: A Cause for Concern" sold more than 300,000 copies.


McPherson, Bubeck and Tanner have pleaded innocent and have rejected plea bargains that would have required them to plead guilty to soliciting battery and a count of promoting an illegal fight.


A fourth man involved in the enterprise, Michael Slyman, 21, pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor count of conspiracy to illegal fight promotion. Prosecutor Curtis Ross said he probably will not serve jail time.


In January, a judge threw out felony battery and soliciting charges against the men, citing insufficient evidence.

A misdemeanor charge for making several million dollars. Wow I'll bet they are really sorry now! Haha

:winkwink:

dhahahahats dhahahahats dhahahahats dhahahahats ... and that's all I have to say.

rock on! I'm sure all this press coverage has made them sell even more then the 300k....

:glugglug

Ya good shit.

To bad they werent based offshore.

I heard the part 2 of the movie is being filmed offshore...

i saw a video of those guys on the news awhile back. look like mamas boys

Smarmy little frat boy fucks. Bumfights sucks. Shit, most of it is high school punks beating each other up. The rest is asshole punks abusing people because class seperation and ruined lives is some funny shit ,dude. Glad I stole it from Winmx and didn't pay those little fuckers a dime. I hope they get their twink asses plowed daily in lock-up.

LOL!

They went to school out here in Vegas at my best friend's school. We met a couple times before they got big and they were just rich jocks with too much time on their hands. I guess the extra time paid off in the long run though!

Is it true that Girls Gone Wild bought them out?

Translation:

I wish I had that idea........

LMAO

I have to agree with Sassyass though that everything about bum fights is wrong. I hope those homeless guys who are suing them get every penny they made from the videos.

:thumbsup

It was a great idea.

I wish I had the $$$, but wishing I had the idea to brutally harass homeless people? Fuck, I'm GLAD I didn't have that idea because it points to a fundamental flaw in your humanity. Do you think "Bumfights" is worthy of praise simply because it made $$$ ? Shit, you can make big $$$ selling CP or crack. That doesn't make it right or admirable.

So any sites going to start promoting Bum Fights again? I could use a sponsor for this traffic, especially with all the legal battles lately, they're getting more publicity than ever.

If they're convicted wont their funds be seized considering they're proceeds of crime?

They are going to lose the money and maybe more in the civil suit being brought against them.

Those bums were paid to perform so WTF:321GFY Not like they are under age, just stupid and in need of a beer.

The civil suit is in California. Need I say more?

WORDS! :thumbsup

exactly! i love watching that shit! it never gets old :1orglaugh
