quickly in Vinny\u2019s story this week. He met up with his supposedly supportive new online friend, Mike. But it turned out Mike was a violent scammer who had set Vinny up.<\/p>\n<p>He got really nasty, and viciously beat poor Vinny to a pulp. Though fortunately he managed to completely avoid leaving any marks on Vinny\u2019s face so no one could work out what had happened. What luck.<\/p>\n<p>The scenes with Mike beating up Vinny were really hard to watch. Almost too much, we thought.
