WATCH: Brawl Between Adults and Kids Breaks Out at Tennessee Kindergarten Graduation |
2024-05-27 |
![]() A distressing video shows the May 15 incident unfold at Buckley Carpenter Elementary School in Somerville, a small town outside of Memphis. The fight unfolded after tensions between two women in the crowd boiled over to other members of the audience, police told Fox 13 Memphis. Tyeisha Humphreys and Kierra Smith allegedly began fighting in the bleachers of the school gymnasium while multiple people down on the floor began exchanging punches as well. Humphreys reportedly blamed the fight on Smith, telling police that they have a long history and that she had already taken out a protection order against her. Humphreys accused Smith of smacking her first, while “Smith insisted that her childhood acquaintance ignited the brawl,” the New York Post reported. Humphreys was arrested for violating an order of protection, inciting a riot, and three counts of simple assault. Records obtained by Fox 13 Memphis show that a man identified as Dantavious Gilchrease was also charged for an argument that spilled outside of the building, during which he allegedly told Humphreys’ mother, Ronda Humphreys, that he would shoot her in the face. Several children were charged as well. |

#10 Tyeisha Humphreys and Kierra Smith allegedly began fighting in the bleachers of the school gymnasium while multiple people down on the floor began exchanging punches as well. "Is this a private fight or can anyone get in?" A while back, somebody (the Freakonomics guys?) did a study on whether having an obviously "black" name on a resume was a handicap. If memory serves, it was. But I don't think the study controlled for having a weird name vs being raised by the sort of parents that would name a kid Dantavious. Personal Anecdote: A work buddy once told of working as a telemarketer in Detroit. One day, he made a call and asked "Is this the such-and-such residence? I'd like to to speak to Orange Jello. The called party responded, "That's OrRANzhelo, you honky mother*bleep*er!" |

#2 Nobody needs a graduation ceremony for finger-painting. Narcissistic parents having a fistfight at an unnecessary ceremony is where we are at. |
