Brandon White was minding his own business when a gang in Atlanta tackled him to the ground and pummeled him, all the while shouting vicious and bigoted slurs at him. Then they handed him the ultimate insult: Posting video of the beating online, where it became a viral sensation.

But Brandon wasn't intimidated into silence: He went to police -- then to the media -- with a clear and concise message: Enough is enough!

In an exclusive interview, Brandon talks to HLN's Jane Velez-Mitchell about his brave decision to come forward, and his fight to see his attackers brought to justice.
