MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WREG) – THV11's CBS affiliate WREG reported that three people are now recovering after a mob of teenagers ran through a busy shopping plaza, seemingly picking out customers and Kroger employees at random to attack.
A video of the incident has been shared with local news stations in the area and is quickly going viral. It shows a young adult lying still on the ground as others repeatedly kick him and stomp his head. Other are seen being chased or knocked to the ground.
WREG said a witness told the cameras that the three people injured were attacked indiscriminately--two victims were African American, and one victim was Caucasian.
The news station added that the brawl happened at the corner of Poplar Avenue and Highland Street.
WREG also reported Monday morning a juvenile has been arrested in connection with the attack. Get the full story here: http://on.kthv.com/1oiYToC

I have recently come aware of an illustrative incident wherein a situation waspacified pacified by one white guy who lives alone in a rooming house in a black neighborhood. Two men were fighting on the lawn. More were walking up and fixing to enter the fray. Eugene walked out onto the lawn and fired his Glock into the dirt twice. Everything got quiet and they all left for somewhere else. 2 Officers were summoned by someone with a cell phone. One of them asked which one was Eugene who was out of sight at that moment. He came out and answered the (black) officer and was asked what happened. He told him about everything except the gun. The officer didn't ask, just said he hoped it would all be quiet now. Now Teens point at Dwayne when he is in Wal Mart, some smile and others just nod. Some move away. His landlord thanked him and he has other friends in the neighborhood now where before he was just tolerated as a white guy out of place.
The police asked for Eugene because they already knew he had a gun. It seems a neighbor complained about it. Eugene has never kept it secret. Eugene and I work together as unarmed security guards.
I think not. Shooting one or more would be self defense. Driving over them in a car if pounding on the windows would be seen as murder, no matter how much mayhem the mob created.
No Memphis is not safe and I’m sure they grossly misrepresent crime. I hate to see what has happened to my city. I now live in Olive Branch, Mississippi, which, as of now, is about as safe a place as there is in metro-Memphis. That said, as the community degenerates it is obvious to me we are far too close. The problem I have is that most of my family are either in Memphis proper or a suburb, including my elderly parents. Thankfully, if conditions warrant, I’ve got a nice safe place I can take my family 90 miles outside the city.
And malls are inherently dangerous for other reasons as at the mall in Kenya. An indoor mall is a fine place for Moslems to spectacularly kill off large numbers of people in a short time, malls and schools.
I didn’t mention that I know someone who was shot at while leaving the Mid-South Fair before it was moved to Desoto County. His rear passenger door had a bullet hole.
Also, there was a shooting at the Delta Fair at the Memphis Agricenter either last year or the year before. Because of the potential for craziness, I simply don’t take my family to the fair. I don’t take them to the Beale Street Music Festival either. The last time I went a melee broke out, and that was 15 years ago.
Bowbama’s kids...
MeGYN and O’Reilly say this is not racial, and not a hate crime.
BOR and Meghan Kelly were just discussing this and obfuscating about whether this was a black on white crime. Kelly said that some at the scene said a black guy was hurt too.
They were full of shit and should be shamed for this report.
If the cop isn't supposed to be talking, then we all know the perp is black and the victim is white. Did you ask the cop how stupid do they think we are, that we can't figure this out on our own? I am not some conspiracy nut, but this is one conspiracy I totally, completely, absolutely, 100% believe in, that there is a real and deliberate Media and law enforcement cover up of black on white crime. Who knows, in the future, maybe whites will be hunted down like dogs, just for sport. This is going to get a lot worse.
Is Memphis Police Department Director Toney Armstrong still on the job? I remember seeing him on TV and he appeared to be a kick-ass homicide LT. Does anyone know how he’s doing or if he’s still the top cop?
I would venture to guess, that not a single person would back you up, and being as you defended yourself from a minority thug, you would find yourself on death row very quickly.

You both think every round is a guaranteed kill?

Comments have of course been disabled on stories on this incident at the WREG site. This is typical nationwide on stories of this nature.
Well, the witness was lying or perhaps didn’t see it very clearly. There were photos published on the first day, and everyone being beaten was white.
In Israel, shoppers have to do just that at mall entrances. There are armed guards everywhere.
Have we now come to that level of security?...............
IF that can be believed, were the African Americans "acting white"?
Most likely elderly, well dressed and being civil............................
