Memphis Police Chief to City: "Stay Home" So You Don't Get Shot
0 comments
In the age of the pandemic, you would think a message like this from the authorities would be about social distancing against the virus.
And it is. The virus of crime.
The Memphis police chief told her city's citizens to stay home after rapper Young Dolph was killed outside of a cookie store - sparking fears of reprisals from the local hip hop scene.
'Tonight we strongly encourage everyone to stay home if you do not have to be out,' Police Chief Cerelyn CJ Davis announced in a press conference Wednesday night.
She also suggested that the police department might call for a city-wide curfew 'in case of acts of retribution' in the near future and encouraged city residents 'to remain calm as we actively perform our investigation'.
So "criminal justice reform" has reached curfew levels of disaster.
Things are not going well in Memphis. They're not going well in any major city in America, but Memphis is something special these days.

Tenn. Dept. of Safety requests more state troopers in Memphis - Action News 5
In 2020, Memphis had the highest rate of violent crime in the country. So it's time for some police defunding.
It takes a quarter of a billion dollars each year to operate the Memphis Police Department, and the rallying cry from many protesters in the way of George Floyd’s death is “Defund the Police.”
They want part of the MPD’s $260 million annual operating budget redirected into different services to help the disadvantaged in the city. But the protesters who met with Mayor Jim Strickland on Wednesday, June 10th, said that option isn’t on the table right now.
In Downtown Memphis on South Main Wednesday night, Amber Sherman organized a block party to start a discussion about defunding the Memphis Police Department, reallocating some of MPD’s budget and investing it in the community.
"It's not necessary for them to have that much money in their budget,” Sherman told WMC Action News 5. "Crime would go down and it'd be a deterrent if you actually fund the real root cause of crime, which is, you know, social and economic inequality, food deserts, and not having a good education."
Food deserts! That's why gang members are shooting each other on the interstate.
Rapper Young dolph shot and killed in his hometown 2021 (live)
Memphis police chief addresses Young Dolph shooting
Rapper Young Dolph Fatally Shot at Memphis,Tennessee Cookie Shop
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Rapper Young Dolph was shot and killed Wednesday at a cookie shop in his hometown of Memphis, Tennessee, and a search is underway for the shooter, officials said.
Police tweeted that no suspect information was available in the shooting, which took place at Makeda’s Cookie’s near Memphis International Airport.
“The tragic shooting death of rap artist Young Dolph serves as another reminder of the pain that violent crime brings with it,” Memphis Mayor Jim Strickland said in a statement. “My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.”
The Daily Memphian newspaper reported that Young Dolph’s cousin, Mareno Myers, said the rapper had been in town since Monday visiting an aunt who has cancer and was also giving out Thanksgiving turkeys.
“He was inside (Makeda’s), and somebody just rolled up on him and took his life,” Myers said.
Just last week, the cookie shop posted a video on Instagram of the rapper promoting the store’s cookies, saying he returns to the store whenever he is in Memphis.
The 36-year-old rapper was born in Chicago as Adolph Thornton Jr., and moved to Memphis when he was 2, according to The Commercial Appeal.
He released numerous mixtapes, starting with 2008’s “Paper Route Campaign,” and multiple studio albums, including his 2016 debut “King of Memphis.” He also collaborated on other mixtapes and albums with fellow rappers Key Glock, Megan Thee Stallion, T.I., Gucci Mane, 2 Chainz and others.
Young Dolph had three albums reach the top 10 on the Billboard 200, with 2020’s “Rich Slave” peaking at No. 4.
In his music, Young Dolph rapped about being a drug dealer and life on the streets in Memphis. He recently performed at a concert at the University of Memphis and he has performed during the halftime of a Memphis Grizzlies game. He was admired in Memphis as a torchbearer to the city’s rap legends, Three 6 Mafia.
Young Dolph had survived previous shootings. He was shot multiple times in September 2017 after a fight outside a Los Angeles hotel. In February of that year, his SUV was shot at in Charlotte, North Carolina, more than 100 times — the incident was the inspiration for the song “100 Shots.” He said he survived because he had bulletproof panels in his vehicle, The Commercial Appeal reported.
Memphis officials, athletes and numerous members of the music industry posted their condolences on social media.
“R.I.P. to my friend Dolph this broke my heart,” rapper Gucci Mane posted on Twitter.
Record producer Omen also posted a message on Twitter, saying “we losing too many black men to poor health, racism, jail, etc. already. we gotta find a way to heal and not add to that with our own violence. prayers for young dolph family and friends. RIP.”
In a post on his Twitter account Oct. 20, Young Dolph said a doctor told him he needed some time to himself.
”I never knew what anxiety meant until My doctor just explained to me that I have it this morning,” another tweet posted that day said.
In an August tweet, he said: “Still can’t believe i got to where im at in life. still feel unreal.”

Threats of More Lawlessness in New York
|
"Lawlessness is lawlessness. Anarchy is anarchy is anarchy. Neither race nor color nor frustration is an excuse for either lawlessness or anarchy." - Thurgood Marshall
Eric Adams, the incoming mayor of New York City, met last week with Hawk Newsome, a co-founder of Black Lives Matter (BLM) of Greater New York, and about a dozen other members of the organization. According to local Fox5 TV, Newsome threatened "riots, fire and bloodshed" if Adams reinstate the NYPD's controversial anti-crime unit. That unit was disbanded last year due to rioting that followed the murder of George Floyd. The unit was credited with reducing some violent crime in the city, but also blamed for a spate of police shootings that targeted residents of Black and brown communities.
Adams reacted by saying he won't stand for inflammatory language or threats. Good for him. One hopes Adams, a former police officer, follows through. There is far too much intimidation from groups that have never held public office or been held accountable for their actions. BLM is not alone. We can also include the Proud Boys, followers of QAnon, and the riotous MAGA crowd that stormed our Capitol on Jan. 6.
Looting and destruction of property seems to have become the norm in major cities. Prosecutors and judges do not appear to enforce the law so much as see the criminals as victims of society's main ills -- racism, poverty, ignorance. They seem to care less about the real victims, who are business owners and law-abiding citizens.
When BLM burst on the scene, many white people, including friends of mine, engaged in virtue signaling by putting the group's logo on their social media pages and their signs in their front yards. Large companies contributed money. Few - and virtually none in the media - delved into the philosophy and background of BLM.
The Heritage Foundation, a conservative Washington, D.C., think tank, did. It found a 2015 interview with BLM leaders Alicia Garza, Patrisse Cullors and Opal Tometi in which Cullors said, "Myself and Alicia in particular are trained organizers. We are trained Marxists." That same year, reported Heritage, "Tometi was hobnobbing with Venezuela's Marxist dictator Nicolas Maduro of whose regime she wrote: 'In these last 17 years, we have witnessed the Bolivarian Revolution champion participatory democracy and construct a fair, transparent election system recognized as among the best in the world.'"
Venezuelans who have fled the country would disagree. Others who have stayed struggle to obtain basic needs, including medicine, food, and lifesaving surgery.
The threats of anarchy in New York and elsewhere should be met with a promise from Adams. He should announce that if people break the law they will be arrested and put in jail. If they destroy property or loot, they will be forced to pay back businesses several times the value of the property. If they are on government assistance, their payments will be reduced or eliminated until the debt is paid. Gun ownership should be made easier for business owners and private citizens. Those intent on breaking the law should be advised if they threaten someone with a weapon the targeted person will have the support of the legal system if he or she shoots in self-defense.
Coddling criminals invites more lawlessness. Watch videos of people looting stores in San Francisco with no reprisals. Watch video of the Capitol riot. Police seem afraid to intervene given the anti-police sentiment. Shop owners, too. Criminals rule in many of our cities. Leftist judges and district attorneys who let them get away with their crimes, or minimize their penalties, should be voted out of office in cities where they are elected, just as is now being done with some school board members who have promoted teaching of subjects opposed by parents.
Eric Adams should not be bullied. Thurgood Marshall would likely have had his back.
Walgreens Closes Five Bay Area Stores amid Shoplifting Surge
Michael M. Santiago/Getty
The ongoing shoplifting surge has forced Walgreens to close five more San Francisco stores as local law enforcement continues to do next to nothing to curtail the problem.
In a statement to SF Gate, Walgreens spokesman Phil Caruso confirmed “organized retail crime” has strangled San Francisco stores.
“Organized retail crime continues to be a challenge facing retailers across San Francisco, and we are not immune to that,” Caruso said. “Retail theft across our San Francisco stores has continued to increase in the past few months to five times our chain average.”
“During this time to help combat this issue, we increased our investments in security measures in stores across the city to 46 times our chain average in an effort to provide a safe environment,” he added.
Asha Safai, San Francisco Board of Supervisor for District 11 admitted to feeling “devastated” over the closure a Walgreens store that has “been a staple for seniors, families and children for decades.”
“I am completely devastated by this news – this Walgreens is less than a mile from seven schools and has been a staple for seniors, families and children for decades. This closure will significantly impact this community,” he tweeted.
Safai told SFGate that the shoplifting had crippled the store’s bottom-line and endangered the staff and customers to an unhealthy degree.
“This is a sad day for San Francisco,” Safai said. “We can’t continue to let these anchor institutions close that so many people rely on.”
Shoplifting has skyrocketed in San Francisco recently, likely a result of Proposition 47, which dictates stealing would not be a felony in California if the item stolen did not exceed $950.
The damage has been felt across a range of business outlets.
In May of this year, The San Francisco News described the situation as being “out of control,” noting that 17 Walgreens have had to close in the past five years due to rampant shoplifting in the city.
17 Walgreen locations in San Francisco have closed their doors within the last five years according to a report from the SF Chronicle. Ten of these closures transpired from 2019 to this year with the last Walgreens store to close its door as of this writing, back on March 17. The cause of the closures is due to rampant shoplifting and looting that has transpired at Walgreen locations in the city believed to be perpetuated by an organized crime ring.
On Thursday, May 13 a hearing was held by the Board of Supervisors with retailers, the SFPD, the district attorney’s office, and probation departments. Brendan Dugan, director of organized retail crime and corporate investigations, believes that San Francisco is at the center of organized retail crime. He brought up a state bust in the Bay Area from last year in which $8 million in stolen merchandise was confiscated from five suspects. The merchandise came from CVS, Target and Walgreens stores from all across San Francisco.
The lack of enforcement made shoplifters so nonchalant and casual they would often steal in broad daylight while awestruck customers documented the crime on their iPhones, allowing for some viral internet moments.

San Francisco Safeway Cuts Hours Due to Rampant Shoplifting
383waltarrrrr / Flickr / CC / Cropped
A prominent Safeway supermarket in the Castro district of San Francisco is limiting its hours due to rampant shoplifting, the latest example of a retail store closing or limiting its operations in the left-liberal city due to out-of-control petty crime.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported Saturday:
Shoppers at the Safeway in San Francisco’s Castro neighborhood will see a noticeable change to the store: It now closes at 9 p.m. due to what one supervisor described as “out of control” shoplifting.
Once open 24 hours a day, the Safeway store on Market and Church streets now has the earliest closing hours of all the Pleasanton-based supermarket chain’s San Francisco storefronts, most of which stay open until midnight.
…
[San Francisco Supervisor Rafael] Mandelman said theft at the Safeway at 2020 Market Street has been “out of control” and recently met with Safeway representatives “to better understand the issues at this store.” He said he also planned to meet with the San Francisco Police Department and the office of San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin “to see what is currently being done to deter theft at Safeway, and to figure out a plan to do better.”
Earlier this year, Walgreens closed 17 stores in the city due to shoplifting, which skyrocketed after California voters passed Proposition 47, a ballot initiative aimed at criminal justice reform, which reclassified thefts up to $950 as misdemeanors. As a result, such thefts are rarely prosecuted.
The crime spike began under former district attorney George Gascón, who is now district attorney for Los Angeles County, and has continued under Chesa Boudin, who now faces a likely recall election.

Is Stealing Wrong?
Not on the Left.
Thu Nov 4, 2021
To most readers of this column, the question is absurd. The reason is not because the question is, in fact, absurd; it is because most readers of this column are conservative, and many are religious.
Am I implying that most leftists do not believe stealing is wrong?
Yes, I am.
As incredible as this assertion is to just about all religious people and virtually all conservatives, most leftists do not believe stealing is wrong. Since I always draw a distinction between those on the Left and liberals, let me add that I suspect most liberals think stealing is wrong. But it almost doesn't matter because they vote for people who do not think it is.
One proof is the passage of Proposition 47, a California ballot initiative passed in 2014, under which theft of less than $950 in goods is treated as a nonviolent misdemeanor and rarely prosecuted. As a result, in Democrat-run California cities such as San Francisco and Los Angeles, retail theft has soared.
Walgreens stores in San Francisco are racking up four times the average amount of theft in Walgreens stores across the country; spending on security guards in San Francisco is 35 times more than the chain's average in other cities. Walgreens has been forced to close 22 stores in the city since 2016.
As reported in the San Francisco Chronicle: "The Safeway located in San Francisco's Castro neighborhood ... was a longstanding, 24-hour fixture in San Francisco's Castro neighborhood. But as of last week, the store's hours have been cut back to 6 a.m. to 9 p.m ... A Safeway spokesperson (said) that the cutbacks are 'due to an increasing amount of theft at the store.'"
Further proof that the Left doesn't consider theft wrong — at least when committed by a person of color — was an interview broadcast on NPR last year with the author of a book titled "In Defense of Looting." The NPR interviewer threw only softball questions to the author.
In the last election, Los Angeles voters elected San Francisco's previous district attorney, George Gascon, as Los Angeles's district attorney. It was Los Angeles's way of declaring that stealing is not wrong. And it is worth noting that it is not only racial minorities and the poor who make these elections possible; it is also prosperous whites. The Los Angeles DA is a wealthy white, and he was supported by a white billionaire, George Soros.
It is hard to believe that millions of Americans do not deem stealing from stores morally wrong, so let's try to explain how this has come about.
Reason No. 1 is moral relativism. For as long as there has been a Left, it has rejected moral absolutes. As the great British historian, Paul Johnson, pointed out a half-century ago in his magnum opus, "Modern Times," the secular world applied the relativism of the natural sciences to morality.
Reason No. 2 is the reason for reason number one: the collapse of the Judeo-Christian value system and the accompanying abandonment of, and often disdain for, biblical ethics. Biblical morality posits moral absolutes — meaning that stealing is wrong for everyone, certainly people of every color. Yes, one can offer a biblical defense of a starving man stealing food for his starving family. But that is hardly what is happening in San Francisco and other American cities.
Reason No. 3 is Marxist morality. From Marx to the present, Marxism has divided the world not between right and wrong, but between economic classes. Therefore, it is morally acceptable for members of the poorer classes to steal from members of the more affluent classes. This notion has made its way into young people's minds for decades. About 30 years ago, I spoke to students from four Cleveland high schools. I asked them to raise their hand if they would steal something they really wanted from a department store if they were certain they would not get caught. Nearly all the students raised their hands. When I asked some of them to justify their reasoning, they all said the same thing: they wouldn't steal from a mom-and-pop store, but they would steal from a department store. It is OK to steal from "the rich."
Reason No. 4 is leftists' view of nonwhites, especially blacks, a view that conservatives have never shared. Leftists truly believe that blacks are intellectually and morally inferior to whites. The evidence? They do not believe blacks should be held to the same intellectual and moral standards to which leftists hold whites. Leftists do not defend whites who steal, and they hold whites to higher intellectual standards. Leftists do not argue for lowering math standards for whites, only for blacks.
The bottom line is the Left is immoral. That is why it defends stealing.

Report: Four Teens Allegedly Murdered 60-Year-Old in Dallas Parking Lot
Records said four capital murder suspects arrested for Tuesday’s murder of a man at a Costco parking lot in Dallas are young people, according to Fox 4.
One is reportedly a juvenile, a 17-year-old girl, a 17-year-old boy, and a 19-year-old man, the outlet said Wednesday.
“The four are all charged with capital murder, but the arrest affidavits say the juvenile is the one who fatally shot 60-year-old Ali Elbanna during an attempted robbery while he was loading his suburban,” the article read.
According to police, two of the suspects admitted to several additional crimes on Tuesday, but officials withheld their mugshots due to the other investigations:
Dallas police say Elbanna was loading his suburban with items he’d just bought at Costco when four people in a pickup truck pulled up and tried to rob him. Investigators say a juvenile shooter hit Elbanna with one fatal shot. A family spokesperson says the family wants privacy at this time. One family member asked for prayers in a Facebook post. Public records show Elbanna as the owner of an Arlington wholesale business and has multiple children.
The arrest warrant affidavits said before the shooting, police were searching for the same suspects regarding another armed robbery.
“The documents say they stole two cell phones by holding up two females at gunpoint. The robbery victims tracked the location of the phones to NorthPark Center and gave police a description of the robbers,” the Fox report continued.
The individuals were also spotted on surveillance footage at the mall.
Officials said the suspects were driving a stolen black Ford truck similar to the one witnesses saw outside Costco.
“Court documents say the suspect descriptions were passed on to patrol officers who found the stolen pickup truck in an apartment complex that police did not name. They found the juvenile there. 17-year-old Janiya Lashav Miller was still in possession of the stolen phones,” the Fox article read.
Authorities called the girl an accomplice and said Miller admitted to acting as the getaway driver during the incident at Costco:
Officers also found 17-year-old James Level. The affidavit says he admitted to being involved and owning the gun the juvenile used to kill Elbanna and admitted the group of four committed two other robberies Tuesday. The wallet of the owner of the stolen ford pickup was still in Level’s pocket.
Jacoby Bryce Tatum, 19, was also taken into custody at the apartments. Although he did not confess to anything, the affidavit noted the two 17-year-olds told officers Tatum was an accomplice in the crimes that happened Tuesday.
Local business owners expressed their concern following the recent incident:
“Bond for the two 17-year-olds and the 19-year-old were set at $500,000 each,” the Fox report said, adding that family members posted online that Elbanna’s funeral will take place on Friday.
