AlphaPatriot, Part Two

He's on a roll lately, so he gets another link.

Memphians are very concerned with the murder rate of late. But you think we have it bad? Not like this. They get little press in Middle America, but the narco-terroristas dominate the Mexican border on the Mexico side, and are routinely making forays into America, with impugnity.

We in Memphis have a growing Hispanic community, and I'm proud to say that they seem to be welcomed. It's large enough to support its own AM radio station (AM1040 Radio Ambiente) which is fun to listen to. The Hispanics moving here are largely congregating along Jackson and Summer Avenues, between the Grahamwood and National Cemetary areas, though Hispanic stores can also be found along parts of Lamar and southeast Memphis.

You'd think, with Memphis being at the nexus of transit from the west and to the north (We are the intersection of I-40 and I-55.), and with an established Hispanic community to work from, that we'd be seeing some of that narco-crime. But that's apparently not happening. Or if it is, its being obscured by the way the crimes are reported and recorded.

That's not to say Memphis isn't a dangerous place. It can be and sometimes is. But I wouldn't live anywhere else.
