"Walking in Memphis..."

Apparently it's not very safe to do, even just right outside a Kroger grocery store.

Do yourself a favor and make sure you're sitting down when you watch the video.

Wow....that was some bull****! 

Watching a video like that just solidifies my ideals to never leave my house unArmed again!

But but but, they were unarmed!  Uh huh, yeah right! A 20 lb pumpkin getting smashed over a guys head as he lay unconscious should be attempted murder.

That's what I was thinking.  Why were the charges brought against them not more serious?

Not willing to comment on what my reactions might be, as it could prejudice my case were I to be attacked and have to defend myself!!

Notice how they never target someone wearing a John Deere cap, a redneck, mexican, someone who looks like they can possibly defend themselves.  It's always hipsters, hippies, old people, women?

Memphis is a dangerous city. Rangemaster, owned and operated by Tom Givens, is based there. As of last summer, 63 of his students had been attacked. 61 survived. The two who didn't were unarmed when they were attacked. Givens refers to these results as 61 wins, 0 losses and 2 forfeits. What he is teaching clearly works.

Dangerous indeed.  The crime rate is 3X the national average.
