SHE WAS A CANDIDATE TO EVICTION
July 14, 2015
Memphis, TN
Refusing to leave her possessions an 84-year Memphis woman sat in a chair out on the curbside guarding everything she owned after being evicted. Ms. V. Burns stayed through the thunderstorm and the heat never leaving her furniture, and clothing without watch. She wouldn’t leave the sizzling days temperatures to find a shelter and insisted she would stay. The woman who lived with her son in the Hickory Hill Apartments was evicted for not paying rent for several months. She stated to the news media that she and her son were planning on moving out before the eviction, but that was before she had a clash and became victim of a robber that took all her money. She described that she was a pushed down to the ground at a bus stop by a robber about a week before who snatched and grabbed her purse containing all her money. Memphians weren’t heartless as many gave her donations to help assist her in finding housing and again a cool safe place.
Zonkers! She was clashed out, crashed into her chair and survived…
Why did she stay?
“I know it don’t look like its much, but it’s mine and I don’t want anybody to take it.” Burns explained.

July 16, 2015
Memphis, TN
It’s not uncommon that seniors are often targeted by thieves, but in areas where crime is known to be lower is a clash shocker. A man who targeted a woman whom just picked up her prescription medicine from a drug store location on Perkins Rd. at Summer Avenue was crashed by a robber who grabbed her bag taking her with him to his vehicle. The woman was dragged a few inches holding her bag as he sped off. The incident was recorded on the parking lot camera. The victim was not seriously injured. Many of the neighborhood store users wondered where was the security guard? Others expressed concern that more protection should be provided to help watch out for thieves. The driver of the car suspect was last seen driving away in a Mercedes missing one rim cover.
“She didn’t wanNA to ride in YO' Mercedes Boy!”
Wow! Picking up your prescriptions just became health risk…Du…ugh!!

TRAGEDY HOUSEFIRE TOOK THREE LIVES
SOME WONDER IF SMOKE DECECTORS WOULD
HAVE BEEN WISE?
Day 15 July 2015
Memphis, TN
A tragedy house fire took lives of two children and their aunt on Wednesday July 15, 2015. The early morning fire seemed to have clashed the home in flames in the front room, but investigations are not certain it was the area of the cause. Neighbors called for the fire department and also tried crashing down the door as they heard screams from the children inside but could not get in. When rescuers of Memphis Fire Department arrived three people were transported to the hospital in critical condition but later perished from smoke inhalation. The three were two nieces and their aunt. The aunt was said to have been babysitting while her nieces while their father was at work. The home was without a smoke detector which is crucial as a life saving device that has been proven to work if properly used.
