(80,456 posts)I took grandson to peds doc for muscle spasms in back.
Doc told me to keep him out of school because high school kids "would definitely see an opportunity to have fun" - by pushing him down a flight of stairs or otherwise exloiting his disability to injure him.
This place is a hellhole!

(80,456 posts)I never could have imagined such intense hatred, as evidenced by the 5 cops why murdered Mr. Nichols.
Grown middle age men, Black, White, Hispanic, Asian, & Native American friends of famy admit being terrified of being stranded due to potential auto malfunction.
Sucks to live here. Likea 3rd world country. Rednecks & meth heads. 😓
Enjoy civilized society.

(21,777 posts)very depressing. I blame the Orange Chosen One and a silent GOP for inciting much of it. I figured it was coming when swastikas started showing up on playgrounds in 2015 when the campaigns started.

(80,456 posts)Wow! 2015?
Ty for your jury service.
Yeah, they're everywhere. Just higher concentration here. Add in the anger from MLK's assassination & myriad other racist, hateful elements & it's surreal.
I'm orig from Chicago burbs. I could never ever have imagined such hatred or violence as here.
It's everywhere. In grocery stores, drive-up fast food places, auto parts stores, etc...
My grandson helps elerly neighbors with car repairs. Elderly Blackman bought alterator at shitbag Auto Zone.
He had receipt. It's clearly under warranty. Lady ag Auto Zone was arguing with my grandson, showing her with a Klein multieter that te alternator is not charging properly.
She demanded he turno each accessory, etc, etc.
She finally tells him, "look, I don't know nothin' 'bout cars. I just needed job. But I'm not doing warranty paperwork." (Probably means she is illiterate, as many are here.)
She did end up doing the paperwork, because our neighbor got his alternator.
This man my grandson helped is cognitively challenged. The crap they pull on this poor guy is unreal!
Another elderly Black neighbor needed a part. Auto Zone ran them all over Memphis from1 store to another & laughed in the man's face...
Be glad you don't exist here. There is no such thing as "living" here for me. Merely existing, waiting to escape. 😓

(21,777 posts)so lucky. Used to live in OH and it was blue, but not anymore. So glad I left. Hope you find the opportunity as well. Go Fund Me?? Seriously. I'm in. "Existing" is not a good way to live but so many are stuck right now. Add fascism to racism, hatred and gun violence and we have a very toxic soup brewing. Keep us posted please and take care out there.

(80,456 posts)Thx for suggestion, but I wouldn't be comfortable dumping my problem on others.
I was hoping to move back to NC when grandson finishes college, but now mortgage rates are near 7%!

Ty for your most kind offer to help.

(255,525 posts)There's now a MSNBC video available of the entire chase and beating, but I think we saw enough from Joy Reid's show.

(80,456 posts)I can't watch it.

(255,525 posts)I figured that enough was shown on Joy's show since it is brutal and graphic. And she probably actually aired the entire thing, only in parts during the numerous segments that kept being uploaded. Normally, The ReidOut uploads two major segments (which I post), but last night there were several, each showing parts of the video. I would have posted them all in the same OP, but I never knew when the last one was going to be. Anyway, here's the entire video, with a warning:
