More than 100 teens swarm Memphis plaza, 'knocking out' shoppers

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WREG) – CBS affiliate WREG reported that three people are now recovering after a mob of teenagers ran through a busy shopping plaza, seemingly picking out customers and Kroger employees at random to attack.

A video of the incident has been shared with local news stations in the area and is quickly going viral. It shows a young adult lying still on the ground as others repeatedly kick him and stomp his head. Other are seen being chased or knocked to the ground.

This isn't a single deranged person. This is a coordinated attack by children on innocent people.

These are the equivalent of animals.
 
That kid in the green shirt kicking the Kroger's kid in the head should be charged with attempted murder. Blows like that to the head could certainly kill you.
 
Wow. That's really ****ed up. What the hell was the point of that? Terrorizing people for fun?

They were just peacefully protesting the injustices to which they are subject in this hellhole of a nation that structurally excludes them from the opportunities to which the are entitled.



Or something like that. Ask Eric Holder. He knows all about it.

I heard that Memphis was a hellhole, but dayum...
 
Try em like adults and get this over with.

Ugh, NOT ALL of us are stupid, just wanna make that clear.

But a lot certainly are.
 
Might be time for us to start carrying again.
Its always been time to carry. Now its time to carry openly. I have a lovely pair of .50 Remington 1858 type revolvers that look real good on me when I am flashing my colors. :mrgreen:

Probably the result of a culture which has become so afraid of hurting the children's psyches, that we have created a bunch of animalistic morons, who have no self-control, nor any empathy.
 
I'd say a bit of racism.

Ummm... Those kids all deserve jail for a very long time, but I'm not sure why this is racist... Cause they are all black or something?

The article said that they attacked three people, 2 blacks and one white.

Where is the racist thing from?

It goes beyond fear of hurting their feelings. They are, in many cases, being taught that they are victims of a society that will never value them no matter what they do. Add to that the influence of music which glorifies violent, misogynistic behavior and a culture where such behavior is given positive reinforcement through media such as World Star Hip Hop and this is what you get. It's a matter of self fulfilling prophesies.

Who exactly has found this acceptable?

Well, we could start with the hundred or so kids involved. It was pretty acceptable to them and even to the woman filming stuff until the reality caught up with her.
 
No one would suspect you in that shirt.;)

I am pretty sure that no matter what shirt I am wearing, my big babies will be quite noticeable on my hips, they speak for themselves without saying word.:cool:

Just seeing if someone would jump at the insinuation.

Of course Blacks can't be racists. 8)
