Definite woke, pro-criminal DA. It is tought to get bluer than Memphis. Some CD member will say, "b-b-b-but RED STATE!"
Just another democrat attacking democracy and law & order. It’s par for the course for them.

I continue to wonder how many cities will be taken down until the masses change course.

We know what the final product looks like (Portland).

We pretty much know how they get there (Democrat rule, drug use, homelessness, lawlessness, productive people bailing).

Can't keep saying that's what "they" deserve. "they" is "we".

Is there any word yet on possible motive for this incident? Kind of reminds me of the DC sniper years ago.

Memphis was a violent city in 1910. These shootings, sadly, are nothing new. Memphis has had issues with high murders rates, racial violence, and violence in general, for over a century. This is sadly the latest chapter.

Racial violence has always taken place in America. Just look at American history. It's always been this way. This is why I am such a pessimist.

Some people are talking about "this is what happens when you have Democrats". Well, how do you get a city like Memphis to become Republican? Last I checked, Memphis is 64% Black. Most Blacks in America, regardless of religion, income, education, or family status, vote Democrat.

I also think about this. The kinds of White people who live in big cities tend to be....
1) Upper class Whites who have the money to live in the really nice neighborhoods, who can put their kids in private school.
2) DINKS (Dual Income, No Kids)
3) Single people with no kids.
4) College students.
5) Certain kinds of Whites who would find it difficult to fit in rural or suburban areas (LGBT, trans, etc)
6) People in the tech, art, and music sector.
7) Academia professionals.

Those types are the most likely to vote Democrat (within the White population). I think about the demographic types who vote Republican. Many often avoid living in large cities. They tend to be concentrated in rural and suburban areas (at least with the White population. Blacks tend to vote Democrat no matter where they live). Among Republican voters that live in cities........

1) Miami. Large Cuban and Venezuelan populations. Of Hispanic groups in America, Cubans and Venezuelans are the most likely to vote Republican.
2) Jacksonville. Home to a large military complex. Also, because of the annexations from years gone by, a large part of Jacksonville has a very suburban feel. This likely attracts people who would vote Republican.
3) Tulsa. Petroleum economy.
4) Oklahoma City. See also Tulsa.
5) Virginia Beach (see also Jacksonville)

Why are Democrats getting elected in Memphis? Same reason they get elected in Baltimore. Both are about 64% Black. How do you convince Black people in those cities to vote Republican (other than negative reinforcement)?
