Doesn't Memphis have a very high black population? Based on how conservatives have been these past couple days, I wouldn't be surprised if that was the reason.

That, and the state has a Republican governor who will help Trump put the boot in.

Also I think even the WH wants to avoid the optics of one state's National Guard blocking another. Which is a possibility in a Democrat-run state. This is making me nervous because I'm in adjacent Arkansas with very cooperative Sarah Sanders and the high-crime-rate LIttle Rock... fuck me

He only wants Democratic cities in Democratic states. Arkansas already surrendered easily, and is already under voluntary MAGA control.

They agreed to invite the troops
Chicago was going to resist officially, legally, and physically on the street. So Trump chickened out and picked a city that would accept a troop presence

If they bent over any harder they’d be licking their own asses.

Besides being cowards the few magats with brains also realize that they do not actually want all out war.
If they start shoving large parts of the country, then those parts are going to shove back. It's significantly easier to keep going at slower pace that invites less resistance. They're going to work towards disposing smaller circles of groups they dislike until they feel comfortable enough to deal with the rest of us.

Dipshit only Sharpies shit on maps. In a week he will be screaming for help with soiled grown up undergarments. I hope his dumb f—k kids witness something gross and wretchedly disgusting happen to their dad. Just not murder. That is bad. A poor ass mf’n hard working American can certainly pray for things without committing to the act. I like this approach to spirituality.

I'd be willing to bet it's because of the legal pushback they're getting for sending the national guard into states that don't want it.

I grew up an hour south of Memphis and am very familiar with the city. The scale of organized crime in Memphis is incredible and it goes up and down the I-55 corridor. I wish I could find the picture from a few years ago in Memphis where a passenger in a vehicle was leaning out of the window holding a rocket propelled grenade launcher.

Seems like a problem for law enforcement, the state government, and the FBI. It does not seem like an insurrection so it is not something the DoD should engage with because the DoD should not be doing law enforcement. Organized criminals are not enemy combatants.
funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 363d
the mob still has to operate in secret, it's not like everyone's standing around going, "gee if only the national guard were here there'd be no organized crime!"
if it were that easy the national guard would've been on tour since prohibition
