TRIGGER WARNING: The lawlessness that we are seeing happen across Memphis is caused overwhelmingly by one demographic: black teenagers.
Last night on Beale Street there were at least two separate shootings. A mob of some 200 black teens caused mayhem in the $60 million Tom Lee Park before heading to Beale Street.
Business owners on Beale tell me there were fights and stampedes all over downtown. At several had to shut down their establishments early because of the violence.
The black preachers, black business leaders and black elected leaders need to have a "Come to Jesus" conversation with the citizens of Memphis.
Enforce the curfew. Arrest parents who allow their children to break curfew. God only knows much worse last night could have been without the Memphis Safe Task Force.

We don't need any more community centers or athletic fields or basketball courts. We need moms and dads to step up and starting parenting. We'll be happy to supply hickory switches and/or belts.
And we need a district attorney's office that will fight crime instead of treating the criminals like victims.
The time for dancing around this issue with politically correct jargon is over.

I can't argue with any of that. It's time to start holding them accountable.

If their parents won't deal with them, society will.

If you jail them for good, maybe, just maybe, other thugs may change their ways....

They need hood rats having fewer to no kids, instead of the government paying them to have more.

Or, armed citizens can begin to defend themselves and their families.

It's impossible.

The system is made to keep these moms jobless and pumping out kids, more benefits every month per child, and suckling the government teat. If they get themselves a man with a job, they lose some of (if not all) their benefits including their Obama phones, SNAP, and Section 8.

There's no fixing generational, inherited welfare. This is literally how they grew up living. It's all they know. Their grandmothers and mothers raised them to do exactly what they're doing.

It needs to end. The plug needs to be pulled. But the pushback against it will 100% lead to mass violence and civil war. It needs to happen, but it won't happen because we'll just keep on getting taxed more to preserve "the peace" and sit around complaining about it.

None of that needs to happen.

They just need to arrest, prosecute and imprison the people involved and stop making excuses to buy votes for people incapable of living in a civil and functioning society.

If they’re white and they act like that, send them to prison.

If they’re black and they act like that, send them to prison.

It’s as simple as that.

If you think about it in terms of your pregnant, unmarried sister coming to you to tell you she needs a check from you every month to support her bastard child, you would probably tell her to take a hike or at least tell her to get her tubes tied before she gets a dime.

That's my position - no spay, no check.

Unfortunately, that’s a pipe dream. For three generations, most of these black kids have never seen effective parenting. They are not equipped to be parents.

And I was summarily down-voted on the Travel Board last week for stating that the only thing to do in Memphis is to get the frick out.

Memphis is a hell-hole.
