Surveillance video released on Monday shows a group of high school students beating a man at a Tennessee gas station.
Police said a large group of Northwest Prep Academy students swarmed a BP gas station outside Memphis.
“As we got to the car they are in the parking lot throwing up gang signs and putting up a ruckus,” Orrden Williams, Jr. said.
Williams told WREG one of the kids “sucker punched” him. After he was attacked, dozens of teenagers swarmed the gas station. Workers held the door shut as the children rushed the entryway.
Williams ran to his car where one teen threw punches just inches away from his baby’s head. He said he considered using a gun to defend his family.
“It would have been a couple of ‘mommas’ whose child wouldn’t have come home — justifiably not coming home,” Williams said.

And the weather is warming up.
“It remains unclear what provoked the group of teens to attack the man.”
Gee, I wonder why.
He had a weapon, he got loose... remarkable self-control.
Waiting for Al Sharpton to chime in.
Too bad there isn’t any description of those teens available. If there were any sort of distinguishing characteristic of the group provided it might help law enforcement.
I guess all teens in the area are suspects for now.
“children” not children
“Children”.
Holder’s people.
Rabid dogs
You mean “chilleren.”
Obama’s sons?
Obviously, this man told them to get home and stop loitering around the gas station, because he knew trouble when he saw it.
Looks like he got away without a whole lot of physical damage, thank goodness. I hope they catch the whole lot of them.
He considered using a gun? I wonder what made him not.
CONSIDERED??? If he had a gun, he used almost impossible restraint in not using it.

No description of either, I see. So, we can assume, based on previous experience...
In the words of the victim “somebody gonna die.”
