Death by hanging would be more symbolic.

My son’s friend was mugged in Memphis. Luckily, he was Cavalry. He pulled himself to his feet by the attacker’s testicles.

"Truly a sight to behold. A man beaten. The once great champ, now, a study in moppishness. No longer the victory hungry stallion we've raced so many times before, but a pathetic, washed up, aged ex-champion."

That movie was hilarious when I was a teenager. Too bad John Cusak turned out to be a *major* turd.

Tapperware, among others, pioneered that idea about 20 years ago or more. It’s just like those newly shipping ‘solvent trap’ or ‘small engine mufflers’ that are all of a sudden coming in from China and being advertised everywhere.

The advent of compensators on factory pistols has cut down on that considerably.

When I briefly lived there, the nasty people percentage wasn’t racially linked. Pretty big percentage of everyone I knew regardless of race was thuggish.

The police are the ones asserting it, though. Saw that in other coverage.

Did a schooling at NAS Memphis, this was back in the late 80’s, never went off base much except for the “mandatory” USMC tattoo. Never went off base after that.

You know that judges are not going to do that. They are part of the “system” which is designed to make the Citizens unable to defend themselves from the criminal. It is the criminal that gets the sympathy from the media and public. Not the victim. No one cares about the victim. If you don’t believe it, look no further than States that do still execute murderers. When they do execute a murderer, a crowd is always there to protest the execution of the murderer. Every iota of their sympathy is for the killer. not the victim.

I was born in Memphis, at Methodist Hospital. Both sets of grandparents lived in Memphis all through my youth.
Is a youth, I spent many wonderful summers with grandparents, who lived a block from each other.

Now Memphis is a hell hole. About 3 years ago, I drove through parts with which I had been familiar. I was absolutely shocked and saddened with what I saw. Words could not describe...

All of my relatives have since fled for other areas.

They now refer to the city as Memphrica”.

To be fair, there is basically nothing to do in Coeur d’Alene and no good Chinese restaurants. :P
