Reader comments are starting to pile up on Staff Writer Alex Branch's report about teen fights posted on Internet sites such as YouTube.
"In today's digital age," Alex wrote, "student fights, including some recorded around Tarrant County, are becoming commonplace on video-sharing Web sites.
"But what might be a cool video to a teenager is evidence to police. Authorities have used video to identify suspects in beatings, including a case last month in which a crowd kicked and stomped a 16-year-old North Crowley High School student."

Haslet man charged in deadly 2007 wreck
A 22-year-old Haslet man who authorities say ran a red light, killed a couple and injured three children in a wreck more than six months ago has been charged with intoxication manslaughter and intoxication assault.
Colton Frazier McGuffin -- who admitted drinking before the wreck but later tested positive only for marijuana -- was charged Saturday with two cases of intoxication manslaughter in the deaths of Jason Bruce, 30, and his wife, Nora "Beth" Bruce, 29, of Chico. McGuffin also was charged with three cases of intoxication assault stemming from the injuries to their children, Becca Marsh, 8, and Bryan Marsh, 5, and their 9-year-old niece.
Fort Worth police Sgt. Rodney Bangs, supervisor of the traffic investigation unit, said Monday that it took a while for charges to be filed with the Tarrant County district attorney's office because the investigation was longer than usual.
