Very sad. One day we might wanna do something about senseless crime like this.
Memphis (technically Cordova) not Nashville. Too much of this happens.
Five gunshot victims, so presumably gang stuff. I assume that means whoever he was with in tennessee was involved in gang stuff up there? Or do the big gangs have enough organization that their dustups are spread across multiple states?
That’s most of the violence in Memphis. Crap like this usually over something stupid.
Like actual tough law enforcement? Fathers being present in their kids lives?
Yep. Not a whole lot that outside folks can ‘do’. Poster you quoted is trying to virtue signal.
Yes. Maybe reporting on it at a national level like it matters. But apparently it doesn’t.
Could be but not necessarily. One of my farm hands lost his son to a drive by back in May. Straight A student and a heck of an athlete that was just at the wrong place at the wrong time. One of his friends got in an argument with some other guy so the guy came back with his gang buddies and shot at all of them. His son was the only one that was hit and died on the scene.
I know it’s easier said than done, but why keep that company?
Happens everyday. Would not even make the news if he wasnt a scholarship afalete. Its a shame nobody cares enough to speak out against it. Chicago has multiple shootings every weekend. Jackson itself is at least every other day. Pelahatchie gas station even had one yesterday. Crazy out there. Kids dgaf. Canton and Yazoo City are bad too. Young thundercats they call them.
They had just got back from some kind of football camp activity and he happened to be there.
Literally 30 minutes before it happened we were coming in for the night and he told me he was going to move his son from there because it was becoming too dangerous.
Rumors coming out the other 4 shot were OM players too. The family and or OM isn't releasing the names.
Kids are saying Kam Franklin posted on social media last night that he got shot. I think you can assume he was one of the four wounded but not 100% sure.

Driving drunk is idiotic and can get you and innocent people killed. I’m willing to bet a good portion of this board did it when younger. When you are young you don’t necessarily see all the possible consequences
More like tough judges willing to sentence them and keep them locked up. Law enforcement can deliver them but can't keep them locked up
I confess that i did drive drunk and didn't worry about the consequences when I was young but the thought of purposefully killing someone never ever EVER crossed my mind.
Most of these kids dont care if they go to jail. They know it will only be a couple three years and it ain't that bad inside. All their uncles and cousins been inside. Jails are too soft apparently. But of course if you made it unpleasant everybody would say it's inhumane. So I guess it's better to just let them keep shooting. Or stabbing. Whichever
I know nothing of that life because I didn’t grow up in it so I hear the perspective of the people that do, and some of those guys work for us and I can tell you what you typed is pretty spot on. These young guys have no regard for human life and they don’t care about their own life so gunning someone down because you argued over a card game is a legitimate thing.
No. Of course not. I simply meant hanging around with the kind of guys that may end up in a situation like this.
What runs me up the wall is "these kind of guys" getting to repeat the same crimes multiple times after they've been caught multiple times. The folks releasing them aren't young they are adults (using the term loosely) . I just can't get my head around this .
Where alot of this happening there’s not any or very little police presence or they’re just overwhelmed. Also a lot of crime doesn’t get reported because of a fear of retaliation.
it’s a mess.
Yep. We’re helpless. Not a single course of action is available to us to address gun violence. No country on earth has ever been able to come up with a solution! It’s just a part of life in the world. So frustrating that there is literally nothing we can do about this!
They will find a way to get guns dude. I get your point. I just think it’s overly idealistic.
Having grown up in Memphis, every part of Memphis is a bad part of town.
I'm in DeSoto Co, we hear about crime in Chicago all the time through local and National media and have for many years, so reporting on it doesn't work.
Well you know I'm here at Nissan in Canton where it's about 85% black. We talk about it some and I'm typically pretty honest in my comments. Thundercats is their wording and it's crazy stuff that pops it off. These trail rides and stuff are dangerous. I have been invited but I'm old school white. Not the place for me
