Born and raised here in Memphis, and currently planning to move. The corruption is blatantly obvious, but ignored on all levels. The powers that be have ruined this town and any resemblance of what it once was. It's worse then they say.
I worked at a Healthcare/Research facility, and was fired for not participating in the experiment. I can say from first hand experience that this happens, and similar tactics were used toward me. I even had a director scold and try to convince me in front of everyone in the office. I assume he thought an audience would persuade me.
Have had a ccw since I turned 21 and carry daily. You know it's bad when I have to carry a pistol just to do yard work. And we debated on moving to Tipton or Fayette County, but the crime is moving that way also. Plus the whole area has so little to offer for young kids except the Zoo and children's museum. This whole corner of TN is a waste, which is sad considering the potential.
