This is sad.
I’ve heard that Memphis has become dangerous to visit and hang out in for some time now.
That is Tennessee’s shame.

Was it White militia boys shooting ‘assault weapons’?

Is Memphis a Blue city? Are gun grabbers going to use the occasion of the shooting to suggest the Red America needs to be disarmed more?

Check out the guns. They turned Memphis into Mogadishu.

It’s going to be a long, hot summer. They say the most dangerous place for a black to be is in his mother’s womb. Block parties and memorial services have got to be a close second.

semi auto and burst of full auto gunfire.

Some of it sounds like pretty heavy caliber.

Block Party?

Car cutting rusties next to pedestrians.

In Memphis? Wonder who would be involved? /sarcasm

I met a wise old man, he had longer hair than me
He said, Memphis is nothing like it used to be
A hundred dead guitarists lying in the cemetery
I felt a sudden chill, now I’m not so sure about...
Memphis - Where the hell is Memphis?

Funny how that always seems to happen. Many times these shootings are comitted by people who look like the core voter base of the Democrat party yet Democrat politicians are quick to rush to the podium and blame “gun culture” which is just a dog whistle for mostly rural white Republican leaning voters who usually were no where near the scene of the crime.

That is not an accident and is all calculated for the express purpose of trying intentionally to bring about the disarmament of that demographic that Democrats hate so much.

They have a truly dark motive and it has nothing to do with stopping crime.

https://6abc.com/2-dead-14-others-hospitalized-in-memphis-block-party-shooting-at-orange-mound-park/14705543/\

Authorities believe that roughly 200-300 people attended a block party at Orange Mound Park Saturday when the shooting occurred. Davis said that preliminary information suggests that the block party was not permitted.

Imagine how much they'll hate us when the shooting starts.

Memphis Police have corrected earlier reports, stating that 8 people were shot at Orange Mound Park on Saturday evening, not 16 as initially reported.
