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.”
Where are the parents of these wild animals?...............
Uh, is it just me or what. Is the daughter sedated?
What a government leach proclaims when the alligators the state has been feeding for decades begin to snap at the social masters who raised them.
“teen mob” - how long before “that’s racist”?
To the parents, the value of those kids ends with the increase in the welfare check.
Like "managing" ISIS terrorists. Sound familiar? Social disfunction is a very profitable state enterprise. No need to stop it, only manage it. Fergusson style community action leaders need these groups. How else do they hone their skill sets?
I can’t say for sure but if I was in that situation with my family in the car and I was afraid enough I might just...
...Put the peddle down and get the heck out of there no matter who was in the way.
““Had I had been armed we would have had a lot of kids laying in the Bellevue street that night,” Sharon Mourning said. “
Preach it!
Want to stop these roaming heard of “teens”, then let one drop, and they wont think it’s a game anymore.
There will be a time when the cops will just shut down the internet and possibly cell phone usage in local areas due to this type of outrage. If the thugs cannot communicate, they cannot function effectively................
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?
The loneliest, scariest place to be in America is a black young man aged 17 years and six months. One day......"He be my baby"!, and then "git that nigga's a$$ outa my house", the next! At least their daughters come along with a fresh uterus under the same roof.
Just a matter of time until a truckload of armed skinheads cruises the ‘hood begging for trouble.
Run the idiots over.
After a few dozen end up dead under the wheels of their intended victims, they will learn.
“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.
Or become the next Reginald Denny.
And the first white person firing into that mob to protect themselves or their business .....
She didn’t have a gas pedal?
At best, most of them are raised by grandmother and mother, if they have multiple parents at all.
