My guess is he's probably recording it for evidence because they're not supposed to intervene on shit but then he's like "oh fuck that guys gonna get killed I need to do SOMETHING" and passes off the phone and tries to get the mob away.

Could be a case of "wilding". The term was used in the Central Park Jogger case.

lol wow
those are some of the worst I've seen in almost 9 years of reading youtube comments
lol
I'm really curious about what he did to get chased down by an angry mob.
What in the fuck
Just a pre-emptive 'no' to the predictable "-_- smh these youtube comments. don't read!!"
But I guess they are kind of 'cookie cutter racism' at this point and there's no point in reading them (._. ) Reading them does no good but I don't see what hiding them away and not acknowledging them does either.
Yeah that's it.
They seem the same as every other video like this recently.

What a weird jump to make.
He did nothing. I lived in the ghetto most my life. Me and my brother got jumped by a random group of black people. They didn't like us browns for some reason. It happens a lot.
Then I moved to a mostly hispanic neighborhood and one of my friends got jumped by a group of brown people. Fucked his head up, blood everywhere.
Now I've been in a white neighborhood for 3 years and so far so good. At work, had an old racist white lady not want me to install some wipers on her car cause I'm a "Mexican". Which is better then getting jumped.
In conclusion? Everyone is shit unless they're not.
According to the article, they ran out of a Cici's pizza yelling "fam mob" and randomly attacked that guy when he was getting out of his car. Seems like there should be more to it than:
"I say, we tip something over!"
*tip over lifeguard tower*
"Now what?"
"GET THE LIFEGUARD!"
Just guessing but its probably like that huge group of kids that decided to mob a convenience store as some sort of prank...
This is why we need more go pros..
..its entertaining to watch.
I don't think hate speech is a crime in the US. In Canada they could be charged.

Shit gets real in the Whole Foods parking lot though.
Probably not if you're attempting to flee the mob.
I don't believe they're that fucking mental. Seemed attackers were still being supported even when the kid was on the ground.

Yes, we should figure out what the victim did to provoke his mob beating.
The guy in New York did this with that motorcycle gang ride. He wasn't charged, but your milage may vary.
Ah ok, probably covered under the big thing of rules they have.
True, almost forgot about that ...
His job is to deter theft. Not to stand up and defend random strangers against a mob dozens of people large. He probably gets paid slightly more than minimum wage, and for that you want him to risk taking a beating? Capturing the identities of the people responsible on film is really the most you can hope for.

If you've ever been a teen you must have encountered other teen groups that wanted to prove themselves but they were cowards so they picked the weakest targets.
It totally makes sense if you take into consideration that they are unstable.

Is this a trend or something in Memphis where large groups of teenagers attack people? Maybe you can tell us what a fam mob is.
I've been in a handful of fights in HS, sure, but it has NEVER gotten to that point.
Then again, I was also a nerd who hung out only with an insular group of people. I never involved myself in any drama that occurred in HS.
Well with Ferguson recently in the news we have to know whether these kids were instigated by cops, or even by this man who was attacked.
I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not, but either way it would be worth looking into. Mobs this large don't just come together for no reason (Occupy Wall Street aside). Maybe they were just a random mob of assholes, or maybe he did something prior to the start of the video. We don't know. That's the point of wanting to know more.
Seems like something that's been around for a little while,

aka posers who need a "mob" to feel legit

I think I'm going to start a collection of this stuff. It fascinates me as much as it disgusts me.
Now that is a comment you could frame.

And chain it around the neck of the idiot who posted it forever.

You know what, I think that's a good idea.
EDIT:
Yours, of course. I'm just preempting any tomfoolery.

The yelled "fam mob", blaming the victims of a mob beating is ridiculous.

It's too late for them. Write them off society.
double jump
you haven't lived until a random little kid ask you "how do you make love".

I always read the comments because it's a reminder of what I'm dealing with when I step into the real world. A peak behind the mask if you will.
Video is disgusting though.

Damn, this is that 100% no preservatives added, concentrated, squeezed fresh racism.

Fam mob? pure idiocy from those people. Lock all of them up.
And no wonder these business warn, fine, fire employees for getting involved with incidents like this. Against instinct they'd rather the cops deal with it.

Why would you assume everyone know what the fuck that is?
Nobody is blaming anyone, they're asking for context the same way I am. It's not like you see a mob of 50 teens attacking people for no reason everyday.
Yeah, that's what I meant when I said that there should be more to it than that. Article seems a little lacking on details.
Okay, now can you tell me what that means?
I agree with you, but I'm trying to get into the mind of people who defend this shit.

I will always consider Microsoft the worst company ever for creating the Xbox. Imagine if Xbox never existed...we'd have great games like Banjo Threeie (imagine that right? Rare making games) Call of Duty and Halo clones would be at a minimum because they wouldn't be collecting those checks...videogame industry would be better. Games would be more imaginative...and we'd have almost no DLC (notice before the Xbox there was almost no DLC or definitive editions)... we need to get rid of the Xbox

I'm in the minority here, but I thought it was a great idea when Google made posters use there real names on youtube. There were still trolls then, but it never seemed as terrible as this.

I wonder if the people who comment understand that they can be traced back to their original location via IP. I'd love to have a job which consisted of taking peoples shitty comments, finding the people who said then under anonymity, them embarrass them in front of camera.
LOL, I laughed.
