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.

When police officers arrived, multiple vehicles were seen recklessly speeding away Saturday night, the Memphis Police Department said, according to Fox13 Memphis.

Pointless. The thugs tear the packages open right there. Anything they don’t like gets tossed on the ground. Any dummy packages would be discarded.

I was in uniform during the “Fireman’s Riots” in Memphis in 1978 and the only people that were rioting were of a specific ethnicity. When Willie “Hump” Harrington was elected Mayor the city began its decline and white flight began. Even the businesses down on Front Street and downtown Memphis have controlled entrances and bars on the doors and windows. Memphis is not safe anymore. The oppressed minority is even carjacking cars on I-40. Memphis was supposed to become a utopia once they destroyed or removed all of the Confederate names and statues.

My electronic device will not work.

That’s because it was stolen off a FedEx truck in Memphis and its activation made impossible.

“Any dummy packages would be discarded.”

The AirTag could be implanted inside a desirable item.

“Total lawlessness

***************

Yes, one facilitates the other. The state expands itself with increasing powers to deal with increasing lawlessness. This is a convenient, self perpetuating cycle that works out well for the administrative state.

In a twist of irony, lawlessness benefits law enforcement. It becomes a kind of symbiotic relationship.

Back “when” interfering or theft from an interstate shipment drew the attention of the “feds.” It’s still a federal crime. Now, not so sure, they may be busy doing other things…

Do you re4ally believe that Apple disables items stolen from stores and trucks? I doubt it because that would be racist. Think about it.

If you don’t prosecute THUGS, more thugs will grow and take over more real estate.
