 17 Black Thugs Arrested for Burning White Girl Alive…The MSM Is silent

Snips: The FBI has rounded up 17 black gang members that were in connection with the murder of Jessica Chambers in Mississippi. She was a white 19 year old girl that had disappeared from a gas station while she was filling up her car with gas; her body was found burning just a few miles from the station. The thugs doused her with gasoline and then burned her alive.

Even though this happened more than a year ago, the mainstream media was covering it non-stop…oh, wait, just kidding. There was little to no coverage about this story. Now, especially because there are 17 black thugs that have been arrested, we really aren’t going to hear squat about it.

I live about an hour away in a Memphis suburb and my work used to take me to Tupelo frequently. I generally spent a week at a time there while conducting audits, so I had lots of time to get to know it. I’ve always liked the town and could easily live there. I have several dear Christian friends who live in Tupelo and know it has some strong churches. Like my town, Olive Branch, MS, Tupelo is among the most conservative and prosperous communities in the state.

Not sure about your career but you would be surprised how many powerful white old-line family Dixie democrats here are STILL democrats. That is something you won’t read online! It’s a white guilt thing I guess.

Well, you can find just about any point of view on the internets.

For what it's worth here's a Discouraging Word.

Mind you the story is from five years ago.

Elvis was born there, you can tour the home, well at least you could in 1997. I think it’s considered a shot gun style home?

I was on my way to Memphis, just road tripping thru, so I don’t know more about Tupelo.

An interesting fact:

The spring of 1936 brought Tupelo one of its worst-ever natural disasters, part of the Tupelo-Gainesville tornado outbreak of April 5–6 in that year. The storm leveled 48 city blocks and over 200 homes, killing 216 people and injuring more than 700 persons. It struck at night, destroying large residential areas on the city's north side. Among the survivors was Elvis Presley, then a baby. Obliterating the Gum Pond neighborhood, the tornado dropped most of the victims' bodies in the pond. The storm has since been rated F5 on the modern Fujita scale. The Tupelo Tornado is recognized as one of the deadliest in U.S. history

The area is subject to tornadoes. In 2008 one rated an EF3 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale struck the town. On April 28, 2014, a large tornado struck Tupelo and the surrounding communities, causing significant damage.

Perhaps a tornado shelter might be in order!!!

I’m a northerner who first visited in lived in Memphis for a year.

I loved it. People are genuinely kind and friendly, both black and white. It was a lot hotter than I was used to, especially in summer, but that was fine too. I visited Northern Mississippi quite a lot, and while I couldn’t tell you about neighborhoods or schools, Tupelo didn’t have the attractions a larger city like Memphis had, I found it pleasant. I would rather be there than a lot of other small cities in the USA.

I teach in north Mississippi & have several colleagues who come from the Tupelo/New Albany area. I go to Tupelo several times a year for shopping & just getting away for a day! New Albany is quite close to Tupelo & one colleague is very happy w/ the education her kids receive. They also have a tennis team! My former dental hygienist was from Tupelo & she sent her daughter to a private daycare/school.

Check out New Albany too. They have one of the best bakeries ever, Sugaree’s! Yum! The Tupelo Automobile Museum is great. The downtown charming. They also have several festivals.

It’s a long way from Montana. Other than that it sounds like an okay place. Good luck.

I grew up in NW Alabama & have visited Tupelo frequently. It’s a nice town & growing pretty rapidly.

It has good places to shop & eat & the people seem friendly.

Good luck!
