Tennessee adults, children brawl during chaotic kindergarten graduation ceremony
NY Post ^ | 5/26/2024 | Richard Pollina

Distressing footage captured at least 10 adults and children fighting during a Tennessee kindergarten graduation ceremony earlier this month, according to a report.

The chaos unfolded at Buckley Carpenter Elementary in Somerville, Tenn., on May 15, 2024, when tensions between two women in the crowd boiled over into violence, police told Fox 13 Memphis.

The adults, identified as Tyeisha Humphreys and Kierra Smith, were seen brawling down the gymnasium bleachers as witnesses tried to escape the madness.

Beyond the bleacher brawl, at least two other people on the basketball court exchanged several punches.

According to the outlet, Tyeisha Humphreys told police that she was attacked first while Smith insisted that her childhood acquaintance ignited the brawl.

Security video obtained by law enforcement allegedly showed Tyeisha Humphreys coming into the gym and taking a seat directly behind Smith.

Smith then reportedly moved away from her original seat and sat next to a father and his child, according to the outlet.

Investigators say Smith and the child then got into an argument, which allegedly led to the woman taking an aggressive stance, prompting Tyeisha Humphreys to run down the bleachers from several rows back and smack Smith from behind to start the fight.

Ronda Humphreys, the mother arrested in the fight, told Fox 13 that she was wrongfully arrested and saw her son was elbowed in the head by an adult during the melee.

“I got hysterical. The police called the ambulance,” she told the outlet. “They said he had a concussion and released him.”

One man, Dantavious Gilchrease, and a mother and daughter, Ronda and Tyeisha Humphreys, were arrested following the graduation melee. Gilchrease's relationship with the Humphreys was not disclosed.

Gilchrease was arrested outside the school for allegedly telling Rhonda Humphreys he would “shoot her in the face,”

She needs a better hairdo and some self restraint training.

Has anyone ever been held back in kindergarten?

Caribbean immigrant blacks don’t go for these crazy, funky, invented-on-the-spot names. They give their children proper Anglo names and Biblical names.

Worse than Dantavious and Tyeisha, are the Arab Muslim names blacks give their children.

Yes, another participation trophy deal. I initially guessed the brawl was started when some dad like me said “Kindergarten graduation has to be the dumbest thing ever” within earshot of a principal whose whole identity is built around stupid stuff like that.

All graduations need to be banned. The natives have a strange sense of enthusiasm during the ceremony and experience many primative iterations of strange customs. Graduations turn into the Friday Night Fights and sound like it too.

20 years old and graduating kindergarten is nothing to celebrate.

Exactly what this disunited country has degenerated into...

A clear indicator that there is no possible way out of this mess nonviolently...

A kindergartens riot... What is left to go wrong?

As the classic expression states: “The inmates are running the asylum”...

Just wait until President Trump is shackled and dragged off to prison...

There is a serious opportunity for an influencer to make some cash on YouTube by offering social commentary on WHY THESE CHILDREN HAVE ZERO CHANCE IN LIFE.

Tyisha and Kierra… my heart breaks for my God-fearing, decent black neighbors who get lumped in with those types. And for our decent white neighbors who are labeled racist for noticing Tyisha and Kierra.

I’m not sure it fits anymore, but anyone without a good Christian name is suspect as having poor family and community values, anti-American views, or being an illegal. Made up names are a definite.

Yep, rival chimp packs at it again.

America does not have a race problem, it has a problem race.
