There have been alot of angry people in Memphis, BEFORE welfare. And notice this. Alot of people on some for of welfare actually work for a living. They just don't make enough money to not need it. And something else. Ever notice that a majority of rioters are young men? I notice young men hardly ever get welfare. Welfare use isn't the reason for anger among men. Ever notice that alot of men who keep going to prison never learn anything.
As for the drug dealers, this is what I know of drug dealers. Alot of them are terminally unemployable. Not lazy, just not wanted in the labor force. Many have been to prison before.
As for rioters, many people use violence to get attention because in their environment, violence is what gets attention, over and over. And something else. Memphis has always been a violent city. It was violent in the 1900s when it was America's murder capital.
My opinion on drug dealers has drastically changed recently...
The way I see it, since drug laws are unconstitutional by design in the US, someone who chooses to sell them, is actually doing a patriotic thing, I realize they probably do not see this way, and are only in the game to make money, but if you look at it from a different perspective, refusing to comply or disobeying an unconstitutional law...that is actually a good thing!
There is deep social rot in many cities. Generations of unwed pregnancies, lack of community, massive amounts of children raised by low-IQ people who can't take care of themselves means these cities are likely to have major problems in the near future.
Are we talking about the kids of Republicans or Democrats?
The cities are human meat grinders even to this day. That's all they are. People only went there for jobs, but now those manufacturing jobs moved elsewhere. People have to do what the generations did before them, move to where the jobs are.
Cities exist for a reason. People need to be close to things. Jobs particularly. From a geographer's perspective, cities just don't come out of nowhere. Jobs hardly cluster out of nowhere. There is a reason. We don't live in an agrarian society anymore.
Scumbag rammed a police car and then got out with a gun in his hand, he got exactly what he was asking for. They ought to round up all the leeches that destroyed taxpayer property and give them a nice little timeout.
He was a violent murder. This is what people are rioting over? I doubt it. Those people will take any excuse to loot and riot.
This seems to be more and more common. The police involved should always have a unbiased, external third-party investigation.
There is so much rage and anger in many of these cities from people who were raised by terrible, absentee parents that literally any thing that can be used as an excuse to riot sets a large number of people off.
I would venture to guess that the tax-base being as depleted as it is many cities, means that only one or two police officers can show up to defuse a very dangerous situation. So they likely tend to overreact more than they would if these nearly-bankrupt cities had an adaquate response.
But the level of anger, rage and social unrest seems to be ever increasing in many American cities.

Disgusting! You expect these actions in California, NY, or Chicago. Not in Tennessee. I didn't realize that Memphis was infested with this level of stupidity. I may have to reconsider Tennessee as a retirement location.

eastern TN is a lot better. just stay away from Memphis.
Okay, so they are all violent opportunists, low IQ, welfare, no daddy losers. You have established your reasons for not wanting these people, yet you are too lazy to do much as far as real solutions, as well as remaining in denial about how and why they got here in the first place. Fact is, so many of them would not have been here if traders had not purchased the people who were being sold by their tribes. Yes, everything goes back to the history of land/resources/race conquerers and never comes back around in a good way.
