There are sections of Memphis like Detroit no sane person would go with out their carry piece. Orange Mound is one. BUT if you’ve never been to Memphis you don’t know where it is located, as it is a set of Blocks termed Orange Mound. Not a specific on the map place. You don’t go there even in the day time with out a gun. This area of Popular where the 2 crimes went down, is not in what is termed a ‘bad neighborhood’.
That is the opposite end of Poplar which houses the Shelby Co Jail down town. and 92% of those inmates being held for trial are black, a few hispanics and fewer whites. 201 Poplar it is referred to.

These are the ones that commit 30-60 felonies in a life time. Plus the chronic DUI, which serve time on the weekends.
