Memphis Man Shoots Teens Over Sagging Pants

 A Memphis man angered by two teenagers who would not pull up their sagging pants shot one in the rear and faces aggravated assault charges. Kenneth E. Bonds, 45, began yelling at the boys to pull up their pants. When the boys ignored him, he called them a couple of fag*ots. Then he told them again to pull up their pants, except this time he used some cuss words and dropped a few more F- bombs. The two teens then began to curse at Mr.Bonds and told him to shut up and go back in his house.

Wrong Move!!!
He went in the house alright. He went in and came back out with a gun. He fired one shot but missed. He fired a couple of more shots, striking one of the boys in the buttocks. Mr. Bonds said he told authorites, he was 45 years old and wasn't going to tolerate a teenager disrespecting him.

Translation: "I'M A GROWN MAN,DOG" (Ced The Entertainer)

Can't say I agree with his Mr.Bonds' actions, but I definitely understand. I am so tired of seeing these young boys (and in some cases, grown men) walking around with their pants around their knees. I'm sure their parents are up in arms over "their babies being shot". But if they would make "their babies" pull up their pants at home, they wouldn't have to worry about running into the Kenneth Bonds of the world.

  1. I currently have one teenager at home. "Spare the rod and spoil the child", this statement is biblical and does go back to Jesus time. God did not put an age on this either. I believe that if those boys were raised to respect adults, this situation would have never become an issue or gotten this serious. Just like toddlers, teenagers are going to test boundaries and it is our job to put them back into place. I do believe that shooting them is extreme. That man could have just walked into his house and minded his own business but instead he got hot-headed and that is not how we show kids how to behave in today's society.

  2. I totally agree with you Leah. Shooting was not called for but I believe this man had simply had enough of being disrespected by these young men and others like them. Again,I disagree with the way he handled it, but I understand his frustration.

    Thanks for stopping by The Board Room. Please don't be a stranger!
