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.
Don’t be a racist. It is not genetic. People that behave this way have not been properly brought up to respect others. Nurture not nature.
There doesn't need to be. We all know what these "teens" look like.
It’s part nature and nurture. 85% nature and 15% nurture. Things are just the same in Africa.
Don’t be a liberal and accuse me of racism. You don’t know me. Am I white?
But using logic and common sense is profiling..!
^^^^^^ the /s is understood....
No, I don’t know you, but what you said came off as racist to me and does not describe many black people that I have been acquainted with over the years.
I apologize for insulting you, but I really take issue with what you said.
I apologize for offending you. You are right, it did sound a little off. I have many friends that are of all ethnic groups.
I am a Christian, I believe all people are God’s creation. I guess I am attempting to understand this bizarre behavior that seems to be unique to the black community.
Racism is much different that bigotry. I do not hate a single soul. In fact, I have noticed over the years that all races of people are in fact somewhat racist.
Think about it. In the community, blacks tend to congregate with other blacks, Mexicans with other Mexicans, Asians with Asians. Does this make them racist? Sure it does in the purest sense. Races gravitate toward those of their own race. Does it make them bigots/hate filled...no.
In school forty years ago, I was a victim of this sort of marauding, frenzied pack type attacks by the blacks. Spit on, beat, robbed and had racial slurs hurled at me.
I didn’t know what racial hate was. I couldn’t for the life of me figure out why the negro hated me. I’d done nothing to them, after all I was only a kid.
I know now that stupid people do stupid things. What fascinates me is this brutal hyena manic behavior displayed almost exclusively in the black community. No value on human life, no shame or guilt at injuring innocents. Very very bizarre to me.
Perhaps I’m just jaded. Again, sorry. I am not a bigot.
That's right. Genes only affect animals and plants. Not humans.
“say it, say it..”It was the Amish/Hutterites!”
Nah, it was the Chinese, they like that choppin’ and kickin’ business/s;)
“The fact that the attackers are BLACK or Negro or whatever is RELEVANT though and the media are encouraging more and more of this by COVERING UP THAT FACT! Therefore, the media has blood on it’s hands.”
You’re correct; word of mouth (”by any means necessary” - social media, whatever) will be the only way to stop whites from foolishly putting themselves in harm’s way needlessly (and naively). Living on the edge of the Newark NJ welfare hatchery, the media’s complicity in ignoring these stories does little to sucker new victims into the kill zones - too many of the non-blacks in the surrounding areas either fled Newark when it fell decades ago, or are descended from those that did.
The Hispanic and Asian newcomers that are flooding our area all seem to know the deal already; they probably spread the word under the radar in their foreign tongues...
Thank you for your answer.
I think that the type of behavior that you describe is fueled mostly by a lack of proper upbringing. Most of the miscreants, I suspect, are the products of households — can’t call them homes in the true sense of the word — in which there is no father present and the female parent is a trollop, who often does not protect her offspring from scenes that children should not witness.
In addition, she does not bother to teach these kids proper behavior, respect for others, or respect for themselves. They do not progress beyond the toddler stage in terms of grabbing what they want when they want it. The young are the recipients of a lot of physical punishment, but not any positive training for behavior modification. They are angry and undisciplined. Sounds like the school mates that you describe fit into this pattern.
I am a white person who grew up in the days of segregation, so my experience is, I am sure, much different than yours. I was in college in the late 1960s. Race relations had come a long way, and people were seeing that blacks and whites had more commonalities than differences. Many, many blacks had moved into the middle class, and racially integrated neighborhoods were becoming more common. The black students that I interacted with in college exhibited the same positive attitudes toward education and proper behavior that I had.
The left could not have the races getting along; they would lose a group of the aggrieved that they pretended to champion. So we have the race baiters fanning the flames and counting on dividing groups of Americans against each other.
Most of my career was as a teacher. Except for one of those years, I taught in Catholic schools. The few black students that I had were well behaved and respectful and came from homes where they had been properly brought up.
That one year that I taught in a public school — I call it my year in hell — I encountered some pretty tough customers. This high school was, in the mid 1990s, about 10% black, but mostly white. There was a very small population of hispanics.
There were quite a few well-behaved students in that school, but about 10% were trash — and mostly white. Common, trashy, slutty, foul-mouthed, and they stole anything that was not nailed down. They even stole from each other. And, you guessed it, the trouble makers were almost never from intact families.
Sorry this is so long. But I did want to explain my take on all of this. I definitely agree with your observation about all group’s tendencies to be tribal. There is probably some sort of built-in survival mechanism at play there.
May God be with you.
I have a friend who had a contract to manage 25 duplexes in a dubious neighborhood in Austin. He was one of those guys that love and trust ALL people.
One day he was going out there to “pick up a rent check”...he thought. Several bros corner him in broad daylight in the front yard of one of the duplexes and rob him. They also beat him up for good measure.
He cancelled the management contract when he got back to the office! Never went out there again. If your white and you go into one of these areas then you have no excuse! I had told this guy for a year “somebody’s gonna get hurt”. “nahhhhhhhh,”......he would reply!
I don’t want to steer my children in terms of racial issues (anyone with a brain figures it out quickly enough), but I have warned them to be careful because a lot of people have been raised to hate them with a passion and would kill them solely for being white. My kids won’t be a buried statistic...
Here on the edge of the Newark NJ welfare hatchery, nobody has any misconceptions about the state of race relations today.
You know, I totally agree with you. I raised my kids (2) and got them both graduated from Texas A&M and today they are both successful people.
But, growing up, I was just HONEST with them on this subject. I would say brutally honest. But, this honesty would be considered racism by the left because the left wants to be dishonest.
What does “brutally honest” mean? Most fundamentally it points out historic and factual differences between All races. The Left wants to gloss over those differences with the MSM. As you know, it’s so bad that there are some things, though 100% true and factual you just can’t say in public. There are words you cannot say in public.
In the end, when the explosion comes, it will be because The Left and it’s shameless MSM partners have manipulated us all to the point that we can’t even have a dialogue on the subject without being branded a racist by the The Left.
I don’t blame you; I’d rather be branded a racist by the right enemies of freedom while I’m the father of healthy children than be the PC father of casualties of our low-profile race war...
Thank you!
