Walkin’ in Memphis
We had to rob the FedEx truck
Walkin’ in Memphis
We jus’ do it for the bucks….
Don’t sugar coat it. Are you saying Memphis is dangerous now and not a nice place?
It’s all... so... tiresome.
When 13% of the population is 90% of the problem because of the Thug Life Culture they cling to... And you can’t point this about because of Woke political correctness?
This Country has signed it’s own death warrant.
The power and efficiency of the text message combined with pure democracy makes the re-distribution much easier than in past times.

Memphis and Birmingham and Atlanta no go zones for me.
Dozens of “people”…
i can’t quite out my finger on it....but there’s a common denominator with all of these crime-ridden $hitholes....
If it was anything like the “security seals” I see on semi trailer doors, it’s about as hard to break as popping open a can of soda. It’s just an indicator the door was opened after it left the loading facility, not a functional locking mechanism.
Fed EX driver had a much bigger vehicle. Use it.
“…there’s a common denominator with all of these crime-ridden $hitholes...”
Yes. Democrat control.
Memphis is one match short of an explosion. I lived there and do not miss it.
The security “lock” is just a loop of wire with the ends joined together and closed with a squashed on lead closer.
Same as you see on electricity or water meters.
Not Memphis - Denver.
Damn. Sorry brother. That sucks.
Why don’t they move ?
……
Don’t sugar coat it. Are you saying Memphis is dangerous now and not a nice place?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.
If I recall correctly, Memphis is now one of the most crime-ridden cities in the country. Let’s be honest, the Democrats and their gutless RINO friends have turned every major and mid-size city in America into crime-ridden cesspools. Law-abiding citizens are now safer on the streets of Beijing and Moscow than they are in most American cities. Scandalous!
When are honest people going to put their foot down?
