I mentioned going to Memphis at the family reunion and my cousin said it was a bad place to go to.
So I’m going somewhere else.
Red state, blue city.
We made sure to not stay there. We drove past the Children's Hospital all the way down that street going east.
Glad to have done it, but when you see West Memphis, you think it's been through a war.
“Surprising” only to DemocRATS and those who are clueless.
Many of the Katrina refugees from New Orleans stayed and never returned home.
I do believe we’ll all be arrested in Graceland.
Eventually the National Guard was deployed. Some stood on street corners with rifles slung over their shoulders, while others traveled the streets by military jeep.
It seemed to settle things down pretty nicely at the time.
Trump is Bruce Wayne and Batman
Is he leaving DC?
icwydt!
Why is it surprising? A blue crime-ridden city is still a blue crime-ridden city even when it’s inside a red state.
They rarely explain that more than 60% of Memphis residents are Black, and that less than 25% of residents are white.
They also fail to explain that, after major Black rioting and forced busing began in the early 1970s, half of the white Memphis population literally moved out.
Stuck inside of Mobile
Can they arrest Turtle?
The most common complaint I hear from the left (dementiacrats, socialists, muslim invaders, outright communists) shrieking in congress is “tRUmP isn’T GOiNg iNtO rEd sTaTEs, dErP!”
Because “red” (-blooded American) states aren’t really the PROBLEM, it’s dementiacrat-run CITIES.
ennessee, considered “RED” has a major problem with four progressive Democrat-run cities, Memphis (highest crime rate in the nation), Chattanooga, Knoxville and Nashville - the latter run by a populist corruptocrat who is violating his oath of office, US Code and should be arrested RFN (or RFQ for my southern friends here) for aiding and abetting illegal alien invaders and supporting terrorists in ANTIFA and BLM.
I’m okay with President Trump starting with Memphis. I’d like to go there for ribs and a riverboat tour sometime and, while I carry concealed, (I’ve an enhanced handgun carry permit) I do try to shoot as few people as necessary as a general rule.
Same, Houston...
Red state, blue city.
*********
News flash, most states are red, most cities are blue and it has been that way for years, at least since the 80s.
You’re no fun at all.
With the Memphis Blues again
