A FedEx tractor-trailer was blocked by several cars in a Memphis, Tennessee, intersection before dozens of people pillaged the back of the truck for packages, leaving boxes discarded all over the road during the brazen weekend theft.
Video from the scene shows multiple people running through parked cars in the road toward the FedEx truck as the driver attempts to escape the ravagers who are carrying their loot.
Multiple men allegedly used an unknown tool to open the safety latch on the truck’s sealed back doors and took numerous packages, the driver said, according to multiple local reports.

This sort of thing must stop.

Yep. Stores are closing because of massive shoplifting. So the next logical target for the mob will be home delivery trucks.
It will get interesting when they start to target USPS trucks. That’s a federal crime, and the postal inspectors will get involved…unless they too are ordered to stand down.
