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

Apparently Nuts & Bolts was something I came up with in a dream.

 

[Foghorn Leghorn]

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.

A mob is just that, do you wonder what the girls in India have done to provoke their mob rapes? Mobs are assholes, it doesn't matter what "provoked" them if anything, they have no right to administer the justice they see fit.

Okay, now can you tell me what that means?

Did you skip post 83?

You're funny.

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.

I usually take a look at their youtube profile and it's weird what you find sometimes. This guy in particular uploaded movie clips from the movie Friday. Must be one of his favourite movies. How odd.

Well I'm not from India not would I know that mob rapes are something that occurs there. Mob attacks of this kind, especially without context, aren't particularly normal in the US, so excuse us for asking about something Americans don't know about.

I'm black, and before I even clicked on the thread I knew these 'teenagers' were black. Now what does that tell you?

 

[Fantastical]

Memphis is such a shit hole.

that these teenagers were black

That's the worst name for a gang that I've ever heard. I bet they don't even kick people's balls into outer space.

 

[double jump]

that these teenagers were black

legit made me laugh twice today in the same thread no less. kudos sir.

Am I supposed to say that you are racist? Or that black people were more likely to do this, thus implicating me as a racist?

The video made me sad.

It's too bad the victim wasn't carrying a concealed weapon.

That you're the modern day Carnac?

 

[vocab]

I'm getting more and more mad every time these articles pop up. Not only because of the comments, but I'm disgusted by the random acts of violence that are all too common these days.

 

[Aliquidmeri]

And to think this is one of the nicer areas in Memphis, IMO.

I didn't realize it was were this was. I've been to that shopping center loads of time, and when my grandma told me about this, it was not the Kroger I had in mind. Jesus Christ

It wasn't a random act of violence. It was gang related activity.

 

[BPoole]

City's pizza will make you do awful things. One's mind cannot comprehend how bad it is

 

[acrid]

Where's the leader of the NAACP on this? Shouldn't he be condemning it? If the roles/races were reversed, he'd be calling for their heads.

Also, how is this link youtube and not worldstar? seriously?

 

[zeemumu]

Would that be Schrodinger's Racism since the ethnicity of the mob could have been any ethnicity before the thread was opened?

I'm trying to word that as carefully as possible to not offend anyone and get banned in case it was a misuse of Schrodinger's Cat, which would be ironic because I'm also black.

Fair enough. I'd say the mods would appreciate the wit more than possible connotations.
I did

 

[Darkmakaimura]

The video was worse than what I expected from reading the article.

This might be considered a hate crime as well.

All those involved need to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. This is just sickening.

 

[TheChewyWaffles]

Just fucking horrible.

Agreed... Though I tend to think if the races were reversed it would be a bigger issue...

 

[Darkmakaimura]

Going by the video, I believe this should be treated as such. I agree that if it was reversed this would be all over the news. So far, this is my first time hearing about here on GAF.

 

[Dice]

Those poor people could have been killed. Just awful.

The two, the one who stomped on his head and the other who soccer kicked him in the head. Try them for attempted murder. That shit is no fucking joke.

 

[Verelios]

I'm black, and before I even clicked on the thread I knew these 'teenagers' were black. Now what does that tell you?

That you're biased and possibly weird like that.

I know people in the south that are outraged right now this isn't on the news, but all we heard about was Ferguson for over a week.

Still not a real excuse.

 

[MrPressStart]

First... Every one of those kids is a fucking punk. Fighting is rarely the answer... But whatever happened to one on one? A bunch of little bitches that is all those kids are.
After having my little girl and seeing videos of kids jumping kids... It terrifies me to thank that with my short fuse what I would do if I ever saw somebody try shit like that with my kid or someone I know.

 

[Succinct Verbosity]

That kick to the head could have easily killed him... Should be tried for attempted murder IMO.

 

[Dice]

I looked up "fam mob" and it appears to be kids who were denied by other gangs and so just started their own. So they are literally loser/reject/wannabes who couldn't roll with real G's. A bunch of cowards who only want to start trouble without even a gang-level of organization or purpose. Little shits.

 

[Madrin]

According to one of the Kroger employees, the kids were playing a game called "point them out, knock them out" where they just pick a random person and try to knock them out: http://wreg.com/2014/09/07/witness-reacts-to-violent-attack-at-kroger/

Even though nothing justifies a mob beating, it would have at least made more sense if the victim had provoked them. Beating up random people just for fun makes my blood boil.

 

[SlickShoesRUCrazy]

Track them, find them, kill them.


In the reals, all should get time in juvenile detention and sued to hell and back so their parents learn that there are consequences for being shitty parents.

Crazy. Happened two weeks in a row now.

 

[Dash27]

Saw the video, I can only imagine what is going on in the youtube comments.

So yeah, homo sapiens are animals and here's a reminder. I mean I've been a teen, I've done really stupid shit. I've never beat anyone up or been a part of a mob like that so I don't get it. If anyone directly involved is caught they should do hard time.

 

[Dice]

It shouldn't be too hard to track a mob of 100+ teens. I think the police will be able to work out a functional strategy, and these little cowards won't hold up against real heat.

 

[Dash27]

Agree with the comments huh?

We all agree this is wrong. Those are some mighty racist comments. You saying you agree with them?

 

[ComputerMKII]

This wasn't supposed to be an instruction manual

 

[irishcow]

I know everyone is going to hate on me for this but I can't help but think that this would have gone down differently if he had a pistol to protect himself.

A pistol with 200 bullets?

No you should continue with your hypothesis. Surely, it would have had a positive outcome.

 

[Ndless]

We have a winner. And I grew up in a pretty bad neighborhood, so I guess the real answer is that I've seen this before.

And lol at some of the responses. It's not racism to reasonably deduce based on past events that a particular race is involved. Racism would be to say all of us are are like that, or that we're genetically predisposed.

 

[funkypie]

Surprised no mention of the ethnicities involved. If the roles were reversed you would have al sharpton referencing lynching.

 

[irishcow]

No you should continue with your hypothesis. Surely, it would have had a positive outcome.

There is no positive outcome in a situation with insane people assaulting others. I believe less damage would have been done to the victim if he had the means to protect himself.

 

[PaperFlame]

I'm going to start carrying a switchblade with me at all times.

 

[Gleethor]

A pistol with 200 bullets?

To be fair (and I'm not advocating that anyone should carry a gun), if he had produced a firearm, most if not all of those kids would've bolted. Now, whether he's a level-headed enough individual to avoid unnecessarily shooting anyone is another matter (and sort of the big problem with people having guns.)

These kids may be used to having guns pointed in their faces. I'm aware of alleged former gangmembers whose weekend parties often consisted of rivals showing up with semi-automatics and the like. They were all in their teens/early 20's.
