MEMPHIS, Tenn. A teenager was arrested and charged after police say he attacked a family out on the riverfront enjoying their Fourth of July holiday. It happened around 8:15 p.m. in the 200 block of Riverside Drive.
A witness to the incident told police he was up on a hill when he saw a 15-year-old boy throw fireworks into a crowd of people. The group was made up of at least two adults and several children, police noted in their report.
The firework hit a man in the group and he went to confront the teen. That's when the suspect reportedly began to assault the victim. He allegedly hit the victim multiple times in the face before three other suspects joined in.
What we need are more ribbons to wear to show we care, more peace now quilting parties, more candlelight unity vigils, and reparations. NOW. Before they get angrier. Maybe THIS will work.

Unless you’re Chuck Norris, that is not a wise thing to do. You are going to be outnumbered. And you’re probably going to to be the target of some serious violence.
So, yeah. Confronting the thug is a natural reaction. But it’s not a wise reaction. Instead call 911 (which is probably useless). And get your family out of there.
And these same people demand that we have respect for them? Screw that.
I did not miss watching Memphis news....i got back yesterday from almost 3 weeks in western NC with my mom.
I won’t even go to Memphis & haven’t for a long time.
whitepepo...please stop going to these events.....
STARVE THE BEAST!
Its been going on since the civil rights acts Freepers and GOPe like to gloat taking credit for
Before then when they acted it out
It had a price
So when did they behave better.....you tell me
Give them lots of semi precious metals, like copper and lead ... I carry plenty to do my part if called upon.
The almost daily occurrences of scenes like these couldn’t be the source of prejudice, could they?

No No No. If it’s a white police officer shooting an armed black...No Justice No Peace. If it’s black on white crime, no matter what, it’s ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.
Very disturbing hate crime.
LOL! Yeah, right! Don't hold your breath.
And in this community, it's parent, not parents. Daddy ain't around.
Now more than ever.
Saw “teen” and knew the rest.

Being gang beaten like that the victims had every right to open fire on those criminals. People need to wise up and start defending themselves.
How many NUffINS can a dindo do if a DINDO dindo NUFFIN?
Down here in this country we live trap feral animals and take them for swimming lessons. I guess tyhey just need larger traps.
“...discretion is the better part of courage by NOT going into downtown Memphis in the first place.”
Yep, that’s the ticket. First, stay out of the bad neighborhood.
Then keep surrendering— the suburbs, the malls, downtown, the streets Klantifa tells you you’re not allowed to drive on, until you’re quaking in fear with the Jack boots at your door.
