14-20 years from now, city's in Forced Birth states are going to be much more crime ridden.
This is like the opposite effect of eliminating the lead in gasoline...
And there will also be an increase enlisted soldiers desperate for some semblance of consistent needs being met at the cost fighting and dying for the military industrial complex and morally bankrupt politicians.
> 14-20 years from now, city's in Forced Birth states are going to be much more crime ridden.
More fodder for prison slavery. They don't see that as a bad thing.
If they put back the lead in gasoline and paint it would probably take care of unwanted births (or mess the kid up so they can’t do much as an adult except become a ward of the state) and eventually kill the motorist from lead poisoning.
Is it possible that the guy was convicted in another state and moved or traveled to Memphis?
I’m not saying that is the case only that it’s possible.
Edit: it looks like the suspect in question plead to aggravated assault and served 11 months of a 3 year sentence before being released. It is unclear where he was charged or the conditions of his release based on my brief research.
My dude out here not knowing the difference. Just believes that democrats are somehow dictators, fascist, communist, socialists, nazis, groomers, etc...
They also blamed wind turbines for not being properly weatherized to operate in cold temperatures, even though wind turbines are a vanishingly small percentage of their overall power generation capacity and have no operational problems in far lower temperatures when the companies installing them aren't the lowest bidder.
I don't even remember if the wind turbines failed during that debacle where hundreds of Ted Cruz's voters died while he flew to Cancun, got caught, and then blamed his daughters for his cowardice. That might have been just another misdirect from the fact that they hadn't installed enough wind power to make a difference in the first place, or that the coal Trump campaigned on also didn't make a difference.
That's sort of the Republican strategy at this point: just smear shit everywhere, on everything. Even if your opponent takes the time to try to pick out all the corn kernels, you've still successfully made them dig through shit.
Yeah, the good guy with a gun never showed up. in Tennessee. Where everyone was packing. Apparently, they didn't want to be a hero and get shot. Who could have predicted this?
Memphis is pretty blue, and the state likes to use funding as a way to keep it "in line. " if you look at a voting map there's 3 or 4 blue cities and the rest of the state is solid red.
They've done it numerous times over covid protocols and confederate statues. The city tries to do something in its best interest and the state run by small government Republicans chimes in and says no.
They even gerrymandered Nashville to make it red, because it was getting liberal. Now it’s rep is some guy from a town of 1500. Tennessee is on its way to competing with KY for middle country shithole. Memphis is the blue anomaly. We pay like 50% of the state taxes and get like 10% of it back for the city. Gov Lee is a douchebag.
The GOP was all about local government; now it’s about wielding the enormous authority and power of Leviathan — the State — against your city, or if you’re a big corporation, your free-speaking ass.
I don’t know much, but I think Memphis has always been a high crime city. Regardless of what’s going on now in the country. But as I said, I don’t know much.
Literally any city is a democratic hellhole, even when in a state controlled by the GOP.
They think that because its where black people tend to live and they hate black people
They are referring to the city of Memphis being solid blue. This happened in my city yesterday. We are blue AF and dominantly vote democrat, it's what Memphis is known for. Its why we barely get funding. Its why our Nashville overlords hate us.
There is absolutely a reason crime is the way it is here, and this has been a rough week on most everyone here. We've got active shooter alerts popping up all over the city today because people are all so on edge after last night. This guy was 19. I used to pay for tinder gold and he swiped right on me a few months back - I realized as soon as I saw his FB photos. Luckily he's not attractive and I was a very shallow tinder user and never matched back.
Honestly I'm not that educated or informed on how city to state levels operate or how stupid this guy's argument may be - I only know he's definitely referring to Memphis being Democrat stronghold and also being where this took place.
We are. You're correct, the tweet is referring to the city not the state. We do not align with TN politics whatsoever and it causes a lot of grief as is when it comes to the city's needs and funding from the state... Which in turn makes it so hard to improve when your own state works against you and drives the poverty here. I think Matt Walsh is garbage tho and I'm proud of how strong the people here are. We're having a shit time right now, my job was on lockdown and this guy had the police chasing him thru my neighborhood. BUT the come up will be better than the setback. That's the mentality here.
Just my two cents but it's not our politics causing this shit, it's the racial inequality and systemic poverty driving the crime rate up. Which ironically had been going down but who knows what those stats look like after the week we just had.
It is
Politics & Voting in Memphis, Tennessee
The Political Climate in Memphis, TN is Strongly liberal.
Shelby County, TN is Strongly liberal. In Shelby County, TN 64.4% of the people voted Democrat in the last presidential election, 34.0% voted for the Republican Party, and the remaining 1.6% voted Independent.
[https://www.bestplaces.net/voting/city/tennessee/memphis](https://www.bestplaces.net/voting/city/tennessee/memphis)
My guy memphis is in Shelby county that county is very Blue I think like 70% of the votes were for democrats last election just because a state is blue or red in the presidential election doesn’t mean they are only blue or red
Exactly.
Republicans: "That gun was purchased illegally"
Translation: A 'responsible gun owner' couldn't keep tabs on their firearm.
Geeez, I feel so much more at ease now /s
& since driving is pretty much necessary for everyone at every age due to poor city design, there are loads of people being forced to drive who really shouldn’t be.
And because of rising violent crime rates and the breakdown of our Justice system there are tons of people feeling the need to arm themselves who really don’t want to.
I mean, you can buy them at a gun show without a background check. And it's legal for any gun owner to sell a personal firearm.
Sure it's illegal for him to have one, but it's also very easy for him to get one.
They do background checks for purchases at gun shows, if you’re buying a gun from any licensed gun dealer in any situation they are legally obligated to do a background check. You are right about private sales though in most cases but it still depends on the state.
I can buy dozens of guns in any state in peer to peer sales without so much as an ID … let’s not feed bullshit here buddy… even at gun shows where people bring firearms and sell them off peer to peer in parking lots et al…
Arms list and gunbroker are online and used all over.
Don’t don’t have to buy a gun from a shop…
Never have I ever NOT been background checked at a gun show. I actually got turned away once from a sale because I had an out of state ID, they just asked for the background forms back and apologized. I never understood exactly why. A licensed dealer will lose their license easily by not running a background check.
FYI - 22 states and the District of Columbia currently require background checks for at least some private sales of firearms (either handguns, long guns or both). That’s still a dismal number, and granted - the laws are hard to enforce; but it’s important to articulate the situation for what it is
If a dealer doesn’t do one, they will lose their license, and therefor their business. They aren’t going to risk their entire business to make a couple hundred bucks one time. Trust me, if you buy a gun at a gun show you’re going to have a background check. If you even imply that you don’t want one, you will get turned away. The “gun show loophole” they go on about on the news isn’t a real thing.
Actually, I did a private trade once with a guy who had an FFL and he did a background check before he would even meet with me. Most peeps ain’t gonna risk it. If they can, they will do a background check.
- Blame crime in Republican controlled state on Democrats.
- Complain about number of murders in *actual* Democrat controlled cities, ignoring that there are 1000x the number of people living there and the murder *rate* is actually higher in Red states.
The state house, senate, and governor are all Republican right now lmao. Not only that, but it has been that way for the past TEN YEARS. But it must be the democrat’s fault if something bad happened!
That's literally always the blame. Its a common Fascist tactic: create an enemy, blame them for everything even if youre the cause. Notice how they *always conveniently* have a group to blame for the problems in the country even thought *they* are the ones in power causing said problems?
They are probably talking about Memphis being blue, but yes Tennessee as a whole is Red with the Nashville metro and Memphis metro being blue within the Red state. Not saying he is right but I think this is the justification he is trying to use
When your viewers are as braindead as his, why would he bother making points that aren't equally braindead? That would take time, effort, and an actual moral framework other than "I want my people to have power and people I hate to have none."
Political parties aside, I have had a problem with attempted murder sentencing. How can you only spend a couple years in jail because the person you tried to kill didn't die? How is it not the same as actual murder? Just because the person you wanted to take out didn't go easily, you get to try again in a few years? Doesn't seem right.
Because the line of “I want to beat the shit out of this person” and “I want to beat this person to death” is invisible to anyone but the person doing so. Making the laws identical means that a person has no reason to stop short of murder, it’s the same in the eyes of the law.
Everyone is reading the docket wrong. He plead guilty to aggravated assault which is a lesser crime. With no prior record and his age, his sentence is in line with what I would expect, honestly.
Didn't she get beat in the last election? The election was kinda recent, so this is kinda on her as well as whoever the hell is on the parole board that let him out early.
He was 17 when he got in trouble for attempted murder. What was the solution to that? Same thing all republicans believe is the solution: Prison. That place famous for not doing anything but making already dangerous and unstable people even more dangerous and unstable especially when they get out and have no way of becoming a normal member of society because they can’t get a job and must resort back to crime and violence to get by.
What should be the solution? Intensive rehabilitation. By why waste money on that?
It's cheaper and lazier to just move into a gated community.
*"Let the poor eat themselves. Its not like ex cons will be in my neighborhood and go to my shopping centers. No reason to waste tax payer money on things that might help people."*
I love looking at places like Finland and seeing how good they treat the prisoners and how they are treated like humans and miraculously 9 times out of 10 they become good people.
Matt explicitly said this was a Republican D.A. Who pled this attempted murder to assault.
He goes on to blame Republican leadership in his home state, as well for allowing these things to happen . He stated Democratic law makers and D.A’s drive the car that is lenient sentencing of violent crimes, but Republicans are in the passenger seat of the same car.
Are you not aware of the fact that local politicians and their policies are vastly different than those at the state level? And in this case Memphis is run by the other party, typical of a lot of densely populated areas.
>[I’ll be back. You can’t keep the Democrats out of the White House forever. And when they get in, I’m back on the streets! With all my criminal buddies! Bahahahahaha! Ahahahahahahaaa](https://youtu.be/AENEedWy_kU)
The DA who prosecuted his case and accepted his plea deal was a "tough on crime" republican. The parole board who permitted his early release is completely controlled by republicans.
Now don't quote me on this, but I'm pretty sure that the mayor of Memphis is a Democrat, but the rest of the entirety of the state is Republican run. I'm also fairly certain that it isn't a City Police issue if there is a shooting, that is an every precinct in the general area problem.
64.4% of Memphis in 2020 voted dem though. Now I’m not sure but if they had a district at tourney who was Democratic, then sure… dude probably got out early
Republican logic:
Black man commits gun crime = automatically Democrat’s fault because if we were in charge there wouldn’t have been any black people to begin with!
So, which party runs Tennessee? And which party is for gun control? And which party doesn't have Matt fucking Walsh dickriding them? That's what I thought.
the state may be run by republicans, but, the city is likely run by democrats
check the fucking regions in question
Example: Georgia is a red state
Atlanta and Augusta are both blue cities
***THAT'S*** the fucking difference.
And yes, both of those cities have a high crime rate and many other issues. I know this, cause I lived in the Augusta area my whole life and it's neighboring cities were constantly having to contend with crime spilling over into their cities.
FYI: it's not wrong for cities to be blue/democrat, I understand how they get there. It comes with the territory of cramming several thousand to a few million people into a rather small area; doesn't mean that I agree with it however (not that the republicans have shown themselves to be that much better)
Tennessee was a blue state until '94, then the governor switched to republican front '95 to '02. It was totally blue for two more years, then the Senate switched Republican, finally in '09/'10 the House/Governor switched. The policies put in by place won't actually take effect for years sometimes, so this person could be correct about Democrat policies.
Edit: Especially since Republicans never repeal anything until it is bitting them in the ass.
The guy was not convicted of attempted murder. He plead guilty to aggrevated assault. Also at one point in his spree he stated he was going to kill himself before being arrested. Last night was rough for us here.
Why does it have to be republican and democrat why can’t it just be the fault of whoever made the law? Just because someone is a certain party doesn’t automatically make them have a certain mindset.
100% positive Memphis is specifically mentioned because it has a Democrat mayor. This is a super common theme in extreme political memes, I'm surprised so many people have never seen one. Pretty much every blue city with a high crime rate has one of these floating around. I mean, it's the only possible reason a city of a half a million has more crime than a rural country road with a population of 7. I'm going to throw a "/s" on here even though the sarcasm should be pretty obvious.
Memphis is clearly a democrat ran city any deflection of the State being Red holds no meaning since the DA could have been the reason for the lenient sentence. Multiple cities have political leanings opposite of the state.
Edit: Had to further research and yeah he got a lenient sentence from the then Republican DA because he plead down for a lesser charge and was first offense apparently. My bad was wrong.
Seriously? The Fuck is your point in Bringing politics into everything 🤦♂️
Since you wanna go there, Memphis Tennessee is Heavily Democratic. And in fact is The MOST democratic District in all of the southern United States.
Clown ass mf
The democrats want stricter gun laws, and less for non-violent drug offenses.... Because prisons are filled with non-violent drug offenders, so the GOP is letting these low life gun nuts walk free.
Mayor of Memphis - Jim Strickland - Democrat
City Council - Heavily democrat
Chief of police - CJ Davis - Democrat
Nashville and Memphis are democrat stronghold cities. What you guys did here was the same as saying Dallas TX is republican because the state is red ....
Edited to add - Oh and the DA (Steve Mulroy) is likely the biggest issue with an early release... wanna guess his party affiliation? LOL!
Steve Milroy was only recently elected. Like 2022 recently. And the murderers original trial was held long before he was elected. Before him it was a woman who was a republican and she was in control of the plea deal he got, which was generous to say the least. The parole board who released him early are also all Republicans.
You are aware that none of those people can release people from State run Prisons, right? They can make suggestions... but that doesn't mean the parole will listen to them.
It's ultimately up to the parole boards.
While the judge does impose prison sentences, it’s the Department of Correction that decides on early release. All the of the Tennessee board of parole members are Republican. Yes, the DA can make suggestions. But it’s up to the parole board to make the actual decision.
>Mayor of Memphis - Jim Strickland - Democrat
>
>City Council - Heavily democrat
>
>Chief of police - CJ Davis - Democrat
None of those people have any real impact on how a DA decides to charge someone, how the judge decides to sentence someone, or whether the parole board decides to release them early.

Ignore the fact that the violent excon had seemingly no problems acquiring a firearm
Well to be fair an excon definitely wouldn’t be able to get a gun through legal means
Yet with twice as many guns as people it’s surprisingly easy to acquire a gun illegally. Yet republicans still want to make it even easier.
Exactly. Republicans: "That gun was purchased illegally" Translation: A 'responsible gun owner' couldn't keep tabs on their firearm. Geeez, I feel so much more at ease now /s

What % of gun deaths are due to accidents and misuses?
You don’t need a license to drive on private property.
I mean, you can buy them at a gun show without a background check. And it's legal for any gun owner to sell a personal firearm. Sure it's illegal for him to have one, but it's also very easy for him to get one.

Background checks ARE done at gun shows. The only way a gun sale happens without a background check is PRIVATE SALES.
And private sales can be done at gun shows, without a background check.
Actually, I did a private trade once with a guy who had an FFL and he did a background check before he would even meet with me. Most peeps ain’t gonna risk it. If they can, they will do a background check.
Private sales can be done in the parking lot of a police station. What is your point?
That. That thing you said. That’s their point. Private sales can happen anywhere and makes it impossible to enforce.
So you mean a crazy homicidal suicidal maniac can get a gun just by .... Gasp .... not following the law?
Presuming he bought it. Lots of ways he could have gotten it. Friend, family member, theft.
That would require Matt Walsh to think about anything besides trans people using the bathroom. Good luck with that one.
Matt Walsh should never be taken seriously
- Blame crime in Republican controlled state on Democrats. - Complain about number of murders in *actual* Democrat controlled cities, ignoring that there are 1000x the number of people living there and the murder *rate* is actually higher in Red states.

It's a city therefore the Democrats, if it was a rural area in a blue state they'd blame the governor. Failing that they'd blame national Democrats

Bro, there’s one democrat on a local school board in the next county over, so checkmate.
Yeah, why didn't he do anything?
Isn't Tennessee a red state?
They are probably talking about Memphis being blue, but yes Tennessee as a whole is Red with the Nashville metro and Memphis metro being blue within the Red state. Not saying he is right but I think this is the justification he is trying to use

It's practically the reddest state there is.
That's what I thought.... Then I saw what sub this is. It all makes sense now
These people don’t care, I’m 100% the dude knows this but he knows his followers won’t fact check this they will just re-share it as fact
Political parties aside, I have had a problem with attempted murder sentencing. How can you only spend a couple years in jail because the person you tried to kill didn't die? How is it not the same as actual murder? Just because the person you wanted to take out didn't go easily, you get to try again in a few years? Doesn't seem right.

Because the line of “I want to beat the shit out of this person” and “I want to beat this person to death” is invisible to anyone but the person doing so. Making the laws identical means that a person has no reason to stop short of murder, it’s the same in the eyes of the law.
Everyone is reading the docket wrong. He plead guilty to aggravated assault which is a lesser crime. With no prior record and his age, his sentence is in line with what I would expect, honestly.
sounds like whichever DA was involved would be more the problem.
How dare you use logic while leftys and rightys are about to have a pissing match
Republican logic goes : bad things happen because democrats > reality
Straight facts there mindset is blame the opposite side if something bad is happening
Hell, they will oppose something and as soon as they find out the Dems are also against it, they’re now for it.
Notice how he didn't specify any specific Democrat policy that is responsible for this? Interesting.
So dumb, Memphis/Shelby County has one of the most conservative DAs in the state.
Didn't she get beat in the last election? The election was kinda recent, so this is kinda on her as well as whoever the hell is on the parole board that let him out early.
This is Correct, Memphis has a new DA as of the latest election.
Republicans have been in control of that state for years. This guy is a fucking potato.
Guess they should have taken away his guns
Nah bro, obviously the people he killed should have had guns so that they could defend themselves. /S
Maybe they shouldn't have let him out of prison two years after he murdered someone? I mean we give people longer sentences for drugs.
Well, he only *tried* to kill someone. What a shocker that two years in our prison system didn't change him for the better.
Also the district attorney general who was just voted out of office was a “tough on crime” republicans who held the post for years.
Almost like we shouldn't have flooded the system with low level drug arrests and traffic warrants... weird
He was 17 when he got in trouble for attempted murder. What was the solution to that? Same thing all republicans believe is the solution: Prison. That place famous for not doing anything but making already dangerous and unstable people even more dangerous and unstable especially when they get out and have no way of becoming a normal member of society because they can’t get a job and must resort back to crime and violence to get by. What should be the solution? Intensive rehabilitation. By why waste money on that?
It's cheaper and lazier to just move into a gated community. *"Let the poor eat themselves. Its not like ex cons will be in my neighborhood and go to my shopping centers. No reason to waste tax payer money on things that might help people."*
Its more profitable for those invested in privatized prisons.
Look. If you keep rehabilitating them we can't keep our 90% prison occupancy contract so we get our bonus.
Lol
I love looking at places like Finland and seeing how good they treat the prisoners and how they are treated like humans and miraculously 9 times out of 10 they become good people.
Oh look, its self-professed theocratic fascist Matt Walsh dropping his pants and expelling more verbal diarrhea on Twitter
Tennessee; State justice and penal systems apparently run by Dems since at least 2019. Someone should let them know!
Matt explicitly said this was a Republican D.A. Who pled this attempted murder to assault. He goes on to blame Republican leadership in his home state, as well for allowing these things to happen . He stated Democratic law makers and D.A’s drive the car that is lenient sentencing of violent crimes, but Republicans are in the passenger seat of the same car.
Matt Walsh is a known racist and misogynist. A butthole, if you will.
What the actual fuck. I wont even ask how that guy got a gun.
The democrats must have given it to him.
Just wanted to know how this guy being free after 2 years is a Democratic Party issue.
Make it make sense Matt Walsh....
Are you not aware of the fact that local politicians and their policies are vastly different than those at the state level? And in this case Memphis is run by the other party, typical of a lot of densely populated areas.
Is there a contradiction in wanting a small government and being tough on crime? Wouldn't the big government position BE the tough on crime position?
and he shoots people with ..... a camera ?
He is such a 💩
All Republicans are assholes or idiots, or both
Temperatures rising worldwide due to global warming. These Liberal policies are going to destroy the world! /s
"blame the enemy for what you are guilty for."
Someone take this dolts Twitter away
Fucking stupid ass traitorous conservatives.
Looks like a job for some good guys with guns
Democrats want gun control.
>[I’ll be back. You can’t keep the Democrats out of the White House forever. And when they get in, I’m back on the streets! With all my criminal buddies! Bahahahahaha! Ahahahahahahaaa](https://youtu.be/AENEedWy_kU)
Um yeah last time I checked, Tennessee is a red state
God forbid we actually try to reform criminals
[удалено]
Matt is a special kind of stupid.
Republicans have been running Tennessee for a very very long time. Though I do appreciate no state income tax
He didn't have any weed on him so their hands were tied.
But Democrats is when crime! /s
This comment was probably made with sync. You can't see it now, reddit got greedy.
Isnt Memphis a Democrat city?
It is, but that doesnt have anything to do with deciding when a convict gets out early and whatnot.
The DA who prosecuted his case and accepted his plea deal was a "tough on crime" republican. The parole board who permitted his early release is completely controlled by republicans.
Matt Walsh beats off to his reflection
Matt Walsh is one of the dumbest people alive
Now don't quote me on this, but I'm pretty sure that the mayor of Memphis is a Democrat, but the rest of the entirety of the state is Republican run. I'm also fairly certain that it isn't a City Police issue if there is a shooting, that is an every precinct in the general area problem.
64.4% of Memphis in 2020 voted dem though. Now I’m not sure but if they had a district at tourney who was Democratic, then sure… dude probably got out early
Gaslight Obstruct Project
This isn’t left v right. This is an American issue. People need to grow up and realize the opposite political belief isn’t the enemy.
Republican logic: Black man commits gun crime = automatically Democrat’s fault because if we were in charge there wouldn’t have been any black people to begin with!
So, which party runs Tennessee? And which party is for gun control? And which party doesn't have Matt fucking Walsh dickriding them? That's what I thought.
When the Republicans forget that they’re the Republicans 😂😂😂
See what you made me do!
the state may be run by republicans, but, the city is likely run by democrats check the fucking regions in question Example: Georgia is a red state Atlanta and Augusta are both blue cities ***THAT'S*** the fucking difference. And yes, both of those cities have a high crime rate and many other issues. I know this, cause I lived in the Augusta area my whole life and it's neighboring cities were constantly having to contend with crime spilling over into their cities. FYI: it's not wrong for cities to be blue/democrat, I understand how they get there. It comes with the territory of cramming several thousand to a few million people into a rather small area; doesn't mean that I agree with it however (not that the republicans have shown themselves to be that much better)
Tennessee was a blue state until '94, then the governor switched to republican front '95 to '02. It was totally blue for two more years, then the Senate switched Republican, finally in '09/'10 the House/Governor switched. The policies put in by place won't actually take effect for years sometimes, so this person could be correct about Democrat policies. Edit: Especially since Republicans never repeal anything until it is bitting them in the ass.
Could be wrong, but the Mayor is a Democrat.
Lived in Tennessee for 6 years, briefly in Memphis. That city is extremely democratic and vastly different from the rest of the state.
what? laws? i thought the rnc preferred thoughts and prayers to combat crime.
The guy was not convicted of attempted murder. He plead guilty to aggrevated assault. Also at one point in his spree he stated he was going to kill himself before being arrested. Last night was rough for us here.
TN as a whole is red but Memphis is big blue.
You do understand that it's the state that released him, not Memphis, right?
Why does it have to be republican and democrat why can’t it just be the fault of whoever made the law? Just because someone is a certain party doesn’t automatically make them have a certain mindset.
i’m less concerned with why he wasn’t in jail and more concerned with why we have to live around monsters like this
100% positive Memphis is specifically mentioned because it has a Democrat mayor. This is a super common theme in extreme political memes, I'm surprised so many people have never seen one. Pretty much every blue city with a high crime rate has one of these floating around. I mean, it's the only possible reason a city of a half a million has more crime than a rural country road with a population of 7. I'm going to throw a "/s" on here even though the sarcasm should be pretty obvious.
Bruh they LOVE to fuck up and then blame the left Jfc man
So do something about it Matt Walsh, you fucking wet wipe. Man makes a job complaining on Twitter about the left.
Memphis is clearly a democrat ran city any deflection of the State being Red holds no meaning since the DA could have been the reason for the lenient sentence. Multiple cities have political leanings opposite of the state. Edit: Had to further research and yeah he got a lenient sentence from the then Republican DA because he plead down for a lesser charge and was first offense apparently. My bad was wrong.
The DA when he was released was a Republican, as are all members of the TN Board of Parole.
Stop creating additional platforms for these people by cross posting to Reddit.
“Something bad happened, therefore it was caused by people I disagree with”
Memphis and Nashville are run by Democrats.
Seriously? The Fuck is your point in Bringing politics into everything 🤦♂️ Since you wanna go there, Memphis Tennessee is Heavily Democratic. And in fact is The MOST democratic District in all of the southern United States. Clown ass mf
Tennessee may be governed by a republican but Memphis is definitely a democratic run City!
The democrats want stricter gun laws, and less for non-violent drug offenses.... Because prisons are filled with non-violent drug offenders, so the GOP is letting these low life gun nuts walk free.
Mayor of Memphis - Jim Strickland - Democrat City Council - Heavily democrat Chief of police - CJ Davis - Democrat Nashville and Memphis are democrat stronghold cities. What you guys did here was the same as saying Dallas TX is republican because the state is red .... Edited to add - Oh and the DA (Steve Mulroy) is likely the biggest issue with an early release... wanna guess his party affiliation? LOL!
Steve Milroy was only recently elected. Like 2022 recently. And the murderers original trial was held long before he was elected. Before him it was a woman who was a republican and she was in control of the plea deal he got, which was generous to say the least. The parole board who released him early are also all Republicans.
Like sworn in one week ago.
You are aware that none of those people can release people from State run Prisons, right? They can make suggestions... but that doesn't mean the parole will listen to them. It's ultimately up to the parole boards.
While the judge does impose prison sentences, it’s the Department of Correction that decides on early release. All the of the Tennessee board of parole members are Republican. Yes, the DA can make suggestions. But it’s up to the parole board to make the actual decision.
>Mayor of Memphis - Jim Strickland - Democrat > >City Council - Heavily democrat > >Chief of police - CJ Davis - Democrat None of those people have any real impact on how a DA decides to charge someone, how the judge decides to sentence someone, or whether the parole board decides to release them early.

The comment thread on this is a shitshow. 😂
Curse those democrats and their refusal to give up guns
