Civilization Gutters Low in Memphis

Imagine yourself isolated in brutal wilderness, huddled beside a dwindling campfire. All around, the menacing shapes of wolves draw closer. As the fire dies, the darkness closes in…

That’s the feeling you get reading the news these days. In Memphis last night, an angry mob faced off with US Marshals after a black criminal got himself shot:

People in the crowd threw rocks and bricks, with 25 officers suffering mostly minor injuries during the tense clash Wednesday night in the Frayser community in north Memphis. Officers cordoned off several blocks near the scene. By 11 p.m., officers had used tear gas and most of the crowd dispersed, police director Michael Rallings said at a Thursday morning at a news conference.

There is still enough of the fire left to wave a burning branch and frighten the wolves into backing off a few steps… for now.

Here’s how 20-year-old Brandon Webber forced the Marshals to shoot him:

Tennessee Bureau of Investigation spokeswoman Keli McAlister said the Gulf Coast Regional Fugitive Task Force went to a Frayser home to look for a suspect with felony warrants. Marshals saw the man get into a vehicle and then proceed to ram task force vehicles several times before exiting with a weapon, McAlister said. Marshals then opened fire, killing the man who died at the scene.

Liberal politicians did not miss the opportunity to side with a violent criminal against civilization and to egg on the mob. Shelby County Commissioner and mayoral candidate Tami Sawyer demagogically tweeted:

“Every life lost should matter…every single one. How many times will this be ok? It cannot continue to be.”

The lives lost to criminals are irrelevant. Only criminal lives matter to moonbats. Their ideology is the darkness closing in on the campfire of civilization.

Police cars and a nearby fire station were damaged … six of the injured officers had to be treated at a hospital.

“I’m impressed by their professionalism and incredible restraint as they endured concrete rocks being thrown at them and people spitting at them,” the mayor tweeted.

For now, the mayor is Jim Strickland, not Tami Sawyer.

Restraint will cease to be a virtue when the fire gutters out.
