The killer livestreamed shooting rampage.
Memphis set an all time record for murders last year with 346. That’s a truly unbelievable number for a city of its size. 230 murders was the all time high until 2020. They have shattered the all time high in back-to-back years. https://t.co/jxh8vB6MTy. https://t.co/SeJJ2UmgcI

This comes on the heels of the brutal murder of jogger Eliza Fletcher, mother of two, in that city.
She went for a run at 4:30 am.

People are organizing runs in the beloved teacher’s honor across the country.
The murderer of Eliza Fletcher, a teacher and young mother of two who was murdered on a jog in Memphis, should have still been behind bars for a violent felony. The soft on crime era must end. Immediately. Lock these guys up and throw away the key: pic.twitter.com/aw7FsEqulE

In cities across the country like LA, Chicago, New York City, Portland, Philadelphia. Democrats — with the aid of radical groups like BLM — have turned them all into versions of the urban dystopia prophesized in RoboCop.
Detroit, which in the ’50s had more millionaires than anywhere, by the ’80s was so riddled with crime, they set Eddie Murphy’s character there in Beverly Hills Cop.
Far too many people are dying in our cities right now of violent crime from people who have no business being on the streets.
Leftist prosecutors are getting people killed!
In Marilyn Mosby’s Baltimore, Repeat Criminals Go Free to Kill Baltimore.
A majority of the city’s murders since 2015 were committed by suspects who should have been in prison. https://t.co/eM0w80i6m0 via @WSJOpinion

The infuriating thing is, we learned what makes cities safe in the ’90s, in the wake of such attrocities as the Central Park Jogger case.
Now, we’re going backwards.
