The body found near the Memphis crime scene late Sunday has been identified as missing teacher and young mother Eliza Fletcher, the Memphis Police Department confirmed.

Abston was charged Tuesday morning with first-degree murder, in addition to his previous charges, records show.

Yet another dead white person at the hands of a black person. One of the most infamous murders in Tennessee history happened in Knoxville when two white young people were raped, tortured and murdered by a gang of black animals some years ago, only to avoid the death penalty. Will this be different? (No riots so far)

“Memphis is a sh*thole”

Com’on Man!
How can you say that? Memphis has to be an almost utopian paradise with such a diverse population. Diverse being a code word for black. 61%+ of the population.

Interesting little tidbit about Memphis. Back in the the 1870(I think) the city was disbanded due to insolvency. Most of the wealthy and whatever middle class there was then left for greener pastures. One of the upper class citizens that remained and was very instrumental in returning Memphis to it’s former self was Nathan Bedford Forest.
However since the new ruling class have changed the history of Memphis, that is a hard little historical tidbit to find.
Especially on the intertube.
A 50+ year old encyclopedia probably has it

Cut him so slack. Try not to get upset because he cares.

Sometimes my wife says I’m overprotective......and that’s fine......Sometimes things happen when you least expect it.....criminals count on that.

Women get themselves into trouble and it’s up to the men to get them out.

“Do not assume that black people are just like white people because most of them are not.”

True and everyone knows it, but it’s a taboo to say it out loud.

Lately my hub doesnt want me going to Walmart...during the day!! I appreciate his concern, but sheesh.

He'd rather carry your groceries than carry you.

Perhaps if you carried, he'd ease up a bit?

I'll go ahead and post a photo of the suspect here. You may or may not see it on the evening news. Does not fit the template. But you can rest assured if the races were reversed you'd see his photo 24x7.

He kidnapped a local attorney in 2001, and had been released from prison late 2020.

But Illinois is implementing the “Safe-T-Act”, which will let suspects charged with Kidnapping, 2nd Degree Murder, Aggravated Assualt and othe serious charges, to be released from jail with NO BAIL....

The proper terminology is “indigenous urban peoples.”

I like libstripper's term - subhuman.

Do not assume that black people are just like white people because most many of them are not.

Edit in fairness to my neighbors across the street, guys I played ball with, and all the other decent black folks I've known or known of.

Tennessee is a shall-issue concealed carry State. One need not limit oneself to chemical irritants when preparing for self defense.

The term Nazis used to justify murdering Jews, Slavs and others. No thanks.
