How could Arkansas and Tennessee officials be so stupid as to not have a presence on this bridge?

Protestors generally can't swim very well....

...you know, because of the signs.

It shocks me that every Mississipi River bridge in the south was not covered on both sides by an intimidating LE presence.

Pull up stakes and move if you live in Memphis. The politicians and News stations in Memphis appear to be super OK with all of his. Run. The mayor seems to be a gigantic cuck because he sounded white.

Just pussies everywhere.

He is the first white mayor in decades. He ain't stupid. There are dang near 1500 people out there. His force can't contain that

I thought about a comparison to the Civil War and Mississipi crossings but laid off.

I've only been to Memphis once in recent years and it was because a close friend's daughter was at St. Jude's. I knew Memphis was bad news when getting onto the St. Jude's campus was like trying to get into a military base. The security is crazy and it is dying kids and kids trying not to die.

I knew they wouldn't allow the BR I-10 bridge to be blocked because the amount of trucks that run that route; only color that matters is green.

How much commerce runs through the Memphis bridges daily?

Quite a few trucks run that route. You'd think our president would anticipate the effect of this action and would insist that the governors protect the bridges using the National Guard.
