A teen mob strikes again in Memphis

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A mob of teenagers reportedly attacked once again in Memphis.

Police said a large group of teens flooded the streets near Central High School Friday just before 10:00 p.m.

“Had I had been armed we would have had a lot of kids laying in the Bellevue street that night,” Sharon Mourning said.

Mourning said she would have done whatever she needed to protect herself, “So we just driving and all of a sudden all of the kids ran into the middle of the street.”

Mourning and her daughter Princess were driving on Bellevue Friday evening.

“It was like a whole group of kids coming from the game,” Princess Onwibiko said.

“All of a sudden just bout 20 kids are on top of my car with about 40 more kids around my car and they kicking, they stomping, they jumping, you know they hitting the windows,” Mourning said.

The victims said the kids were all over the place wreaking havoc.

“They was just laughing and hollering, and doing what they were doing and having fun with it,” Mourning said.

Police reported another man was attacked in his car after honking his horn at the teenagers to move out of the way.

“They had done bricked his car, stomped his car, did the same thing,” Mourning explained.

Mourning reported seeing the teenagers beat an elderly man and another teenager, “I actually looked at the child. His face was bleeding. You know they had done beat him.”

Mourning was able to flag down police, dial 911, and point out some of the teenagers responsible.

“I’m in fear of my life knowing what you guys do,” Mourning said after asked what she would say to her attackers.

Two 17-year-olds, who police said were a part of the mob, were given juvenile summons and allowed to go home.

Mourning said a summons is not enough and claimed this is a problem on a bigger scale, “Memphis is going to burn if they don’t control these children.”

Police have not said what happened to the other dozens of teens who were involved in the Friday night incident.

Earlier this month ten juveniles and a 19-year-old man were charged in a brutal attack outside of a Kroger store in East Memphis.

The attack was caught on camera and gained national attention.

Three people were beaten, and one of them was knocked unconscious.

WREG-TV was told MPD Director Toney Armstrong was not available Monday but he did release the following statement:

“Several juvenile summons were issued by MPD in connection with these incidents; however, these investigations are ongoing. Due to these incidents occurring after a high school football game, I will be reaching out to the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office and the Shelby County School District to ensure these school events have adequate law enforcement present, said Director Toney Armstrong. “It is also imperative that parents and guardians become more engaged in their children’s day to day activities. Parental supervision is crucial to reducing delinquent behavior; we have got to get our parents more involved with what is going on in the lives of our children.”

Well it takes a village to raise a child you know.

Parenting responsibility has been abdicated to the state, which means no parenting.

Is not Central High fairly close to the Mall that experienced a similar event last month ?

Soon. Everyone knows that “teen mob” is a euphemism for “black mob”.

Obviously not a gang of WHITE wild teenagers, or it would be all over the news and the “justice” department would be sending investigators.

I ride my bicycle thru North Memphis and back to Mid-Town when I go to work. I work rotating shifts, so I ride thru the worst parts of town at all hours. I like Saturday nights and surise on Sunday. The cops are avery eighth of a mile in riot gear in squads of about eight per spot.

I carry wooden handled, lead filled num-chuks across my handle bars. My bike has electric assist, so I can hit 30MPH in those real bad areas. I don't stop at lights, stop signs, or for anything at all.

I figured that because who of the woman was unafraid to say that there would have been dead people if she had been armed. No YT would dare to say that on the record regarding black mobs, from what I’ve seen.

What parents?

These creatures don’t know who their fathers are, and their mothers are little more than incubators.

They are the progeny of the welfare state.

Two things must be done:

1) The welfare state must be dismantled.
a) It is unconstitutional
b) It is a very bad idea; it breeds gibsmedats.

2) A whole lot of gibsmedats need to die when they try this sort of antisocial behavior.

Mr B,
you’re question of when “teen mob” will become racist speech is itself thought crime. Watch for your summons to arrive in the mail.

Someone, quick - send in 40 FBI agents... Oh wait... wrong colors... Holder only cares if the victim is black.

Many years ago I read something about police in one South American country, it may have been Brazil, going out and hunting down and killing “feral” children and teenagers. Is that going to happen in this country?


I wouldn’t have a problem if they did.

But we know it’s not going to happen here. They protect the thugs here.
