The Thaddeus Matthews Blog ^ | Thaddeus Matthews

Posted on 02/19/2006 3:27:50 AM PST by mcg2000

This Crime Family Has Certain Bragging Rights:

This crime family can boast of having paid FBI Informant Tim Willis $33,000

Has it's own chaplain,(black cap) who endangered over 100 children in an unlicensed day care.

Has a member (short fellow) who went from being a janitor,and security guard to a administrator at Juvenile Court.

Has a member (wide black hat) who has been a part of many political camps, including now being a part of Redwing for Congress.

And for fun they like to play cards. THE RACE CARD.

THIS GROUP MAKES AL CAPONE AND HIS GANG LOOK LIKE SISSIES.

Coming east we had the misfortune to have to drive through Memphis. I lived for 50 years in CA and the only times I was more frightenend was when I had to drive through south central LA. Never going back, that's for sure. Whatever was wrong with New Orleans was clearly worse in Memphis. Thanks for posting this info as it bears out exactly what we thought we saw and felt. And all we did was drive through. Didn't take more than 20 minutes or so. Worst 20 minutes of the entire seven day journey. Never going back.

I'm unable to find the link right now ... During the filming of a movie (in Memphis), Sean Penn made the comparison of Memphis' Orange Mound to the exaggerated South Central LA depicted in the film "Colors".

Memphis' violent crime index rating would fall through the floor, if something could be done about the problems in Orange Mound - South Memphis. The negative aspects of that community hurt the entire city in so many different ways.

I tell you I was shocked and I've worked in Oakland CA for 12 years, so I have a basis for comparison. Perhaps the blogger will actually help get the recall going because it does appear that the rot starts from the top.

Maybe Mike Chiklis should have based The Shield in Orange Mound, for authenticity.

Thanks for the blog link.
As a former Memphian, I have added the blog to my "favorites"

Memphis has more of a problem then just south Memphis and Orange Mound.
There is a horseshoe around Memphis, north, west, and south.
Just look at Fox Meadows. It was built about 25 years ago as a nice rural neighborhood for young first time homeowners.
Since then, blacks have replaced the whites, the city has annexed it, and it now has some of the highest crime rates in the city.
There are plenty of areas in the horseshoe that I would not even drive through, much less get out of the car.

This morning for the first time I saw a photo of the councilman from Chattanoogs who was very recently convicted in the Tennessee waltz sting. He was a Black man.

Hereto fore I somehow had the opinion he was white and the scandal was equal opportunity. Apparently it was not. The Black Caucus is up to it's ears in criminal activity.

What will Nathen Vaughn Do? Will he hunker down hoping it will blow over or will he do the right thing and condemn his black collegues.

Lie with dogs, get fleas.

Any area King Willie annexes becomes a hazzardous place to live i.e. crime and failing schools, and lack of city services. People begin fleeing as soon as they can sell at reduced prices.

I'm glad I'm out here in Millington. I dread having to go into Memphis at all.

ms. ford is my 'new' senator as I was redistricted into john's district, where I'd been in Sen Mark Norris' district for years.

Nathan Vaughn's problem isn't his race, it's his PARTY. That should be hung around his neck like an albatross in that Republican district.

It is my view that race is a problem. He is a member of the corrupt Black Causus and should disavow that association.

Party is something too but he had the chance to switch sides and did not. White outside, black inside

The Black Caucus is merely an appendage of the Democrat party, both are equally corrupt, statist, and oppressive.
