This is the shocking moment a mob of 40 people looted a FedEx truck while it was stopped at a red light in Memphis, Tennessee.
Around 8:30pm Saturday, a 53-foot trailer was ransacked while it sat in traffic at the intersection of Riverport Road and West Mallory Avenue.
After the driver reported the theft, the Memphis police arrived and saw vehicles speeding away recklessly along with a number of boxes thrown across the road.
The truck driver told the police that cars blocked the intersection just before a group of men broke open the sealed back door and looted the trailer.
Three men have since been detained after the raging group caused nearly $10,000 in damages - and stole numerous items such as Kicker Speakers, a box of air liners and three DirectTV cable boxes.
A video of the theft starts with the large group grabbing random packages from the partially open back door of the truck.
A mountain of brown boxes stacked on top of each other are quickly stolen by the thieves, some taking more than one at a time. As the thieves run away with the merchandise, some of it falls to the ground in front of cars stuck in the traffic jam created by the scene.
Nearly every looter has a hood or face covering on as drivers nearby watch in amazement and some even laugh at the incident.
The savage group soon gets the entire back door open as boxes spill out of the tractor-trailer and contents are revealed.
The video then cuts to one of the robbers walking toward cars with a package in each hand as the person behind the camera laughs.
'Man, now he trying to move,' the man behind the camera says as the truck driver tries to escape the mayhem.

Just wait until the Christmas gifts start shipping heavily in a couple weeks.
In the urban areas, the few trucks that don’t get robbed or hijacked will be worthy of headlines.

I remember back in the 1990’s Rush Limbaugh saying we should build more prisons, lock them away and focus on the next generation.
How right he was.
Is it 40 white old ladies? Is it 40 Asian men? Is it 40 Amish women?
This is what a collapsed society & failed state look like.
It’s also bankrupt and made even more bankrupt today thanks to GOP grifters.
Memphis is a city that you want to avoid at all costs.
Fed Ex headquarters are in Memphis.
AND Memphis is a democrat hellhole... Might be time for them to pack up and get out.
Darn Amish why don’t they keep their hands off other buggies?
They should have some of the car’s license plates. Confiscate the cars unless the drivers cooperate.
Lower the curtain down in Memphis.
I sometimes read the newspapers in Spain. Years ago, I read about bus companies in Mexico refusing to serve certain areas unless they had military escorts. The bandits, gangs, cartels would not just stop and rob the bus riders. Sometimes they would get everyone off and burn the bus. The bus riders did not bring/wear any jewelry. I believe FedEx, UPS etc should have private security dressed just like Antifa. My father taught me long ago that if you really damage a person’s knee, they cannot move much more, and you can just laugh at them as you walk away.
They were in traffic……probably couldn’t. .
