Five dead from shootings in Memphis over in Memphis, that is if I have heard the news right.

It seems those in authority, stand around pointing fingers and asking, “What should we do?”

Hint: what they are doing hasn’t had a lot of success.

Clue: they might try what has worked for close to a hundred years. You know, putting high priority on God and family. You know, locking up the bad guys. Perhaps, letting the police, police. How novel that would be.

Then again, what is the point. I may as well be talking to a wall.

Well, there is one advantage for those of us south of the state line. The value of my house value keeps skyrocketing. The hitch, occasionally, that crime does make it south. Good thing our officials know how to deal with it.

Perhaps that statement is not fair. I suspect very strongly those north of the state line know very well how to straiten it out quickly. However, knowing and doing is not always the same.
