Quote:Nine people have been arrested after up to 50 teenagers and adults started a huge brawl after a high school basketball game. The violent scenes unfolded at Whitehaven High School in Memphis, Tennessee, with people punching and kicking each other before police officers swarmed the auditorium on Friday night. Two juveniles - aged 15 and 17 - were arrested along with seven other adult men following the game which saw the home team lose to local rivals Hamilton 76-54.

Point?

Must have been the Memphis football squad...



Young folks fighting is nothing new...esp if sports are involved.

Yeah, it's just another 50 person brawl at a high school athletic event - it's a daily occurance, I mean, we've seen them so many times they're getting old.

Tom, what kind of people go to a high school sporting event and brawl? Yup, they do happen, but 50 people?

Not just happening at schools..Malls are a hot spot for these thugs fighting..





Brawl at the Mall: Teens Injured in 'Multiple Fights'

Police: Over 200 teens responsible for “mall brawl”

Teen identified in Arden Fair Mall food court fight

I could post many more incidents of young punk thugs fighting at malls around the country. Why is this happening??

Hamilton is damn good at hoops, too...not surprised they won. Their two best players (KJ and Dedric) are Memphis signees.

I'm not about to freak out over some kids fighting.

Nobody thought you would be I assure you.

Mall brawls and fights at HS Hoops games are no new thing. They're being aired in the national media more and more.

When my HS played Duquesne there was always a nasty brawl. It got so bad that the rivalry was deemed unsafe and the two schools were placed in separate divisions. Following quite a few games there were multiple shootings. Sad it led to that but it did, and this was nearly 20 years ago.

And sad but true, many of these same brawls spilled over to the local mall (Century III) which practically was its demise and is a ghost town today.

Consider me shocked................




not.

Both those schools are in the hood

Ghetto people do what ghetto people do.

There are brawls like these at city league basketball games every year. When I lived in Columbus they had a few that were so bad that they forced the teams to play one aother in empty gyms going forward.

The sad part is that it was not just the kids were were fighting... in nearly every case there were 30-40 year old men down on the court fighting. In the OP the article indicated seven adults were arrested.

Now I know someone is going to come on here and tell me this sort of thing happens out in rural areas and in the suburbs too but I guarantee you the frequency of these occurences are not anywhere close.

Obviously this is a result of Ferguson/Staten Island.

Looks like a bunch of Obama sons and daughters fighting. Is that really shocking?

I'm just glad that they didn't throw High Schoolers in jail just for fighting when I was in school. We had a smallish brawl break out during one of our HS basketball games. Some people got suspended and had to make public apologies, but no one was arrested.

Big difference in a "smallish" brawl and 50 brawling.

Unfortunately, this IS a common occurrence.
