MEMPHIS, TN - (WMC) - A video of a group of teenagers beating a Kroger employee in the store's parking lot is circulating on Facebook.

A Kroger employee tells WMC Action News 5 that the attack happened at the Kroger near Highland Street and Poplar Avenue.

Accroding to police, three people were jumped by a large group of teenagers who were chanting "fam mob." The group, who came from CiCi's Pizza, reportedly attacked a 25-year-old customer as he left his car to enter Kroger. Two employees, ages 17 and 18, were attacked while trying to stop the fight. Both were "struck several times in the head and face, while being knocked to the ground." The victims say large pumpkins were thrown at their heads. They both eventually were knocked unconscious.

The victims were treated on the scene for their injuries. All three refused to be taken to the hospital. The 17-year-old victim's father said his son is OK and is at home.

The Kroger manager told police the store's surveillance video can only be accessed by "loss prevention" on weekdays between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.

Police want to know whether anyone else was approached, harassed, or injured by the teenagers. If so, please contact police at the Tillman Station precinct.

Yes but the Mennonites were the real instigators.

Then his answer should have been, “Yes, officer, I have already contacted the LP and they will be here in X minutes to hand you the video.”

Unless of course the attackers were white and the victims black, then the surveillance video could be accessed immediately.

Fam mob is a Memphis street gang.

They are also behind all the buggy-jacking and black market harness sales.

Since it doesn’t say White attackers and African American victims, you can make the very safe assumption that the attackers looked like obama, holder and the reverend al sharpton, and the victims like me.

Probably used EBT cards at CiCi’s. I just thought of something....maybe we could stop all these attacks by taking away all EBT cards then and in the future if caught attacking anyone!

Memphis was always a tough town, now it’s down right hideous.

My daughter has traveled all over the world alone, on the cheap, hostels the like. She lived in Philly and San Francisco. Traveled Seoul alone, backpacked through all of SE Asia alone, lived in Nicaragua and visited Honduras, Costa Rica and Uruguay. About 5 years ago she and I went through Memphis and walked Beale Street for a hour or two. She told me that was the only city she has ever felt unsafe in. She was spooked. I admit that her saying that unnerved me somewhat.

"Fairly common for LP to be the only ones to access the DVRs. Though they normally had a after hours on call person for emergencies."

Not an emergency when a tax payer gets beat up by a tax drain.

WTF: Fam Mob?

I got curious enough to go search for it myself.

FAM MOB

Love the comment section. I needed Barbara Billingsley though.

And as we all know from many years of watching these news reports, “teenagers” plus no mention of race of the attackers in the report, means the attackers were Black with 98% +/-2% accuracy.

It looked like a flash mob of baby Obamas out for beat down.

IMHO, no need to mention race. First, you can assume it was Amish because they did NOT mention their race. Second, you can assume it was Amish because other folks do not do this. Just my observations.

Kroger is known for ensuring their customers are unarmed.

Don’t shop were you can’t be safe

Good grief! Even on this thread folks are afraid to call it like it is.

A pack of rabid Negros went on yet another barbaric rampage like a bunch of hyenas.

This sort of madness needs to be called out for what it is. You don't see Asians, Indians, Anglos acting like this do you?

Reminds me of the Rwandan massacre where hoards of African savages rampaged through towns killing woman, children, men and animals by hacking them/spearing them to death.

Hmmm....have we something genetic here? Just wondering, cause this is NOT how a civil society behaves.

The laughter and squeals of delight were unmistakable. I thought a detected a word of English but I can’t be certain. I suspect that ‘Fam Mob’ is nothing more than anthropomorphism.

No, back in the olden days, if something like this happened, a section of the city would burn down and (comment removed before the mods see it) but afterward it would be safe to walk the streets for years.
