I think that is one of their main sorting centers. I could be mistaken.

I think this is partly the result of all the demagoguery from the politicians and media, the “social censorship” and shaming and doxing, and other forms of expression suppression we have seen these last few years - not to mention the general lockdown frustrations and anxieties. It leaves very little outlet for people to unload their frustrations and some of them end up unloading magazines on their fellow man.

After Memphis, the next big hub is Indianapolis, a lot of flights nightly there, a few thousand employees in the night sort, though it may have occurred at one of the stations in The Indianapolis area rather than the airport, we shall see. I’m a long time FrdEx retiree, sorry to see this happening.

Or it could be domestic, employment related or the persons drug shipment didn’t come in.

You are correct.....Memphis is superhub

Indy
Oakland
Miami
Dallas

Hubs

No ma'am. I am fortunate to have met, on FR, a person who worked for a three-letter-agency, who actually orchestrated these sort of events (in foreign countries -- apparently that restriction has been lifted?). That person apparently passed on, I couldn't get in touch with him when I reached out some time later.

It is well-known by these agencies how to cause an actor to commit these sort of acts of violence. He actually explained how. It is located here.

Yes indeed, but it runs deeper than all that hostility and degradation in society the last couple of years.

There has been a clear decline in morality in our society for a very long time. Rampant disrespect for authority (parents, teachers, police, etc). Much/most of it brought on by degradation of morality heard in music (i.e. rap, death metal, etc), seen in shows/movies and acted out in video games (years ago, a popular multi-year series was called "Grand Theft Auto").
There has been an obvious decline in religion, people attending church, and so forth.
A breakdown in the "nuclear" family. Divorces and out of wedlock births. People are less likely to get married now, than before.

Now, obviously, all that negativity doesn't affect everyone in the same way, but it has obviously helped lead us to the point where increasing numbers of people think that violence is the answer and that the laws don't apply to them.

A perfect example of the combination of what you said and I said is looting.

Many years ago, people in society didn't go out and loot a store when something they perceived as bad happened in town.

Five years ago, looting a store or two was more common.

Now, the media/social media/academia/hollywood "celebs"/sports "icons" drive the frenzy to the point where people know the police aren't going to do much if anything to them (because the politicians have told them to stand down for "social justice" reasons).
So, they go out in wave after wave and clear out stores along an entire block. Part of it is they feel safer with the "normalization" of their face being concealed and the knowledge that there will be very little to no consequences.

It's a demonstrable escalation of the breakdown of our society in general.
