The former local kingpin of the nationwide Vice Lords street gang was executed while he sat in a white Cadillac in Memphis last week, sparking fears among law enforcement officials that violence could break out across Tennessee and inside the state’s prisons.
Ronald Terry, 49, once alleged to be the leader of the Memphis branch of the Chicago-based Vice Lords, was found shot to death along with a female companion, Candid Sanders, 36, on Thursday afternoon. A Memphis Police Department spokesperson said the investigation is active and she could not share other details.

On the day of the shooting, the Tennessee Department of Corrections locked down every prison in the state "due to information received from external law enforcement partners," according to a statement.
The restrictions were lifted at some prisons a day later, but others remained locked down as of Saturday. South Central Correctional Facility in Clifton remains locked down pending an investigation into fights that broke out Thursday evening, according to Amanda Gilchrist, a spokesperson for CoreCivic, the private company that runs the facility.

Put all willing participants out in the prison yard with clubs and knives and let them go at it.
Just let them know that any harm to guards or destruction of property will be dealt with immediately by the guards on the walls with rifles.

I'm in TN.

Guess I'll throw a couple extra mags in the grocery gitter.

Maybe put a couple extra claymores around the house.

What round for gang bangers?

TDOC prisons are on lock down. Vice Lords have made credible threats of lives against TN officers and TDOC employees.

Meh, these things happen. This statement is still pretty funny though...

"In Memphis, which has one of the highest per-capita murder rates in the country, officers are "accustomed to dealing with issues like this," said Michael Williams, president of the Memphis Police Association, who said he had received the alert from fellow law enforcement officials.

"We want officers to be vigilant, but not hyper vigilant," he added.
"We still want you to treat the community the same."

Memphis gets the policing it wants!

TDOC said no, they didn't say that.

An email communication received today from the Tennessee Department of Corrections denies allegations of a threat against Tennessee law-enforcement personnel by the Vice Lords or any other gang.

TDOC's Neysa Taylor wrote, "TDOC is unaware of any specific and/or credible threats to law enforcement or corrections personnel. TDOC is networking with our law enforcement partners to ensure the timely dissemination of accurate information."

Below is the full text of the message received from TDOC:

"Unfortunately an erroneous social media post that referenced TDOC is being widely shared and has even been the subject of news reports.

"At this time, the TDOC's Office of Investigation & Compliance has not recovered or received any information that indicates a direct threat or "hit" to law enforcement or corrections personnel. Information on alleged calls that were intercepted at Morgan County Correction Complex and/or Northwest Correctional Complex that indicate the Vice Lords "put a hit on all Tennessee law enforcement and corrections" is incorrect. Additionally, no direct information has been received that officers will be "set up or ambushed."

"TDOC is unaware of any specific and/or credible threats to law enforcement or corrections personnel. TDOC is networking with our law enforcement partners to ensure the timely dissemination of accurate information."

I think so. And, the decedent had relatives in Morgan County so they had some concerns, I'm sure.

The politicians in this country don't have the guts to set things straight and prefer to take the "let's be civilized" route. How many other country(s) have hit squads for this type of thing. Evil will remain as "our leaders" choose to do nothing.

You know what they say:

"Come to Memphis for the BBQ, stay because you got murdered"

Memphis usually wins. This poor guy was a huge advocate for Memphis but got shot down in a robbery over a cell phone. Rough

So let’s set up a no bag limit hunt on the rest of the gang members and say, 5$ a head?
