Must have found some automatic bullet casings eh? Memphis got some bad neighborhoods looks like.
I’ve only been in Memphis one time.
The only thing I remember about it was the filth. I’ve never seen roadsides with that much garbage, syringes, diapers, etc. And this was years before covid masks.
Even NYC wasn’t that bad.
Thank goodness that good citizen had no way to defend himself.

At some point, judges need to allow citizens to do what is
needed to protect themselves.
The system isn’t capable of doing it for them, despite
turning a lot of the felons loose for their dream utopia.
The fruit of justice reform.
My neighbors are from Memphis. They said it’s a war zone and will never return.
It’s time for some reasonable, modest, commonsense, do-it-for-the-children corvette control laws.
Memphis was for many years the per capita capital of:
1. Murder
2. Car theft
3. Burglary
4. Robbery
5. Assault
in the United States.
As for the automatic weapon, if you find 20-30 casings sprayed around a central point and witnesses say the guy opened up only for a couple seconds... Well, decent chance it was an automatic weapon. :P
Once the marxists have total control they will deal with these feral animals with the utmost brutality. But until then they're too useful to be interfered with.
Mrs. Afterguard and I were married an NAS Memphis (Millington, actually). Spent two night honeymoon in Memphis. Don’t remember a thing about the town. Never went back nor will we.
LOLOL...”Incidents like these are a cause for concern for community members.”
Death by lethal injection would would go a long way toward reducing the “concern by community members.”
5am on Sunday. They must have been on their way to early church.
Lot of bad reports about Memphis. I’m assuming Amish yutes running amok?
Not even to see what condition your condition is in?
I had one of those too good to be true job offers I’m Memphis. At the time, they had at least 5 mosques. My life is not for sale.
Especially sad, the Corvette driver probably saved the lives of numerous pedestrians by refusing to race the Mustang. I know, 5AM, but the Mustang would have found some nonetheless.
It’s just Memphis. Another failed Democrat run city. Shirley, you don’t expect anything different, do you/
Got the license plate, no mention of immediate arrest.
