From WREG in Memphis
Three people, two of them teens, are recovering at home after being brutally attacked by a mob of teenagers in a busy shopping plaza at Poplar and Highland. The vicious parking lot brawl was caught on cell phone video. The disturbing video shows a high school kid lying still on the ground while others repeatedly kicked and stomped on his head. The teen attacked is an employee of Kroger. “They followed hitting him with a pumpkin. He was already unconscious, so all you could see was blood and pumpkins,” said a witness who did not want to be identified. He is a friend of the victims.
The witness says the mob of young teens viciously ran through the Poplar Plaza parking lot assaulting complete strangers. It was maybe about 100 to 125 kids. It was a lot of kids,” said the witness.
“Is that an exaggeration?” asked WREG’s Elise Preston.
“No, it`s not an exaggeration,” replied the witness.There were so many kids, the security guards couldn’t control the violent crowd.
“They were playing a game called ‘point them out, knock them out.’ Where they would point someone out and attempt to knock them out or fight them. There was no real reason behind it.
Video is very disturbing
What the hell, man? This country is going more and more downhill by the second. What is up with teenagers? Is this the cool new game nowadays, to point at a random person and just knock them out? Aren’t there other cool teenager things to do? What ever happened to sneaking into a movie with your friends or going bowling on the weekends? When I was a teenager I was playing Madden, going swimming, and A/S/L’ing all night in AOL Chat Rooms. But I guess in 2014 it’s the cool, manly thing to fight unsuspecting people 100 on 1. Just disgusting. I hope every one of those kids is caught and goes to jail till they’re 50 and this happens to them everyday of their life. Gotta trim the population fat one day at a time.
