More murders in Memphis — 10 Comments

  1. There needs to be a massive crackdown on crime in this country. Maybe that happens if Dems all over the nation are voted out of office.

  2. The issue is not simply crime, but the vastly disproportionate amount of violent crime (murder, rape, armed robbery, assault, carjacking, home invasion, etc, to say nothing of looting and smash-and-grab operations) committed by black males, mostly young. Few are willing to discuss this awkward topic, but the facts of criminal offending should not be denied, nor should anyone, in a free society, fear the consequences of speaking truthfully on matters of such importance.

  3. “Everywhere I go in Shelby County, the citizens want the same thing. They want a district attorney who’s going to fight hard when the violent crime occurs.” defeated incumbent DA Amy Weirich

    Yet just a month ago, those same citizens elected “a soft-on-crime prosecutor named Steve Mulroy”

    Apparently those citizens want both “a district attorney who’s going to fight hard when the violent crime occurs” and someone who believes that, “democracy requires all sorts of machinations to keep Democrats in power and assure real majority rule”.

    Clearly, cognitive dissonance is the prevailing condition among Shelby County voters.

  4. @Geoffry Britain

    If about half of Shelby county voters felt that crime was a weapon for “us” to use on “them”, how would they have voted any differently?

  5. It looks as if Fletcher’s death has served as a warning to other joggers: “A female jogger fought off an attacker who grabbed her on a popular hiking trail near Orlando on Sunday — just days after the kidnapping and murder of another runner in Tennessee, police said. Israel Pagan, 19, grabbed the victim as she ran along the Little Econ Greenway trail around 5 p.m. Sunday, the Orange County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement. The jogger was able to fend off the assault and took a picture of Pagan as the broad-daylight incident unfolded. . . . Police used the image to canvass the area and eventually made an arrest. . . . Deputies said Pagan may have attacked other joggers in the area previously and are asking potential victims to come forward.”

    The perp has tried to minimize the seriousness of the assault by telling the cops he was drunk at the time.

  6. Maybe it’s time for some of the slimmer lady cops to get some miles on their Nikes and shorts while armed.

  7. Speaking of crime, I heard they were investigating the Clark County, Nev., administrator (D) in the stabbing death of an investigative reporter in Las Vegas. I thought that meant he’d hired a hit man, but no, they found evidence that he did it himself. He’s been arrested.

  8. I will say it – if the killer was white this story would have more publicity. I was briefly in Memphis is 2010 when we drove to the Shiloh National Battlefield Park. The downtown area was very pretty but I heard that it was a dangerous city. I believe that ultra Liberal, Steven Cohen is the Congressman who represents Memphis. He is pretty obnoxious from the few times I have seen him on TV.

  9. I live in Boston but have spent significant amounts of time in some of the interior big cities and there is no comparison between the urban poverty in say Boston or San Francisco than say Cincinnati or Memphis or St.Louis. Ezzard Charles Blvd in Cincinnati is still TG the only place in the US where I’ve had teen age pimps pushing 12 year hooers at you in broad daylight. I’ve seen it overseas and across the boarder but now if we have the homelessness and gov’t drug distribution centers we’ll get to see that all over our beautiful country
