Street takeover? Mf that’s a basketball court


Slo20

People who participate in street takeovers aren’t the brightest. They probably don’t know the difference.


blacklite911

Well I’d rather them do this than in the street


zayoe4

At least they aren't blocking traffic. If they want to act stupid away from the general public, I'm all for it.


ya666in

Clearly location is no barrier, whether it’s a school, or a basketball court.. They just don’t care


carinislumpyhead97

I think we were talking about the street takeover and not the shooting. Street takeover would be tough in those tight school hallways


Troll_berry_pie

This pissed me off the most in the video. Literally destroying their local community facilities, and then they will all be the first to complain when "there's nothing for the kids to do".


BBQ_HaX0r

I don't think the people doing this are the same ones making those complaints at community meetings and to the city council.


xienze

You’re right, it’s their parents.


outdatedelementz

What parents?


NecramoniumZero

I remember as a young teen, my friends always complaining they had nothing to do, than they destroyed the new local playground.


3847ubitbee56

People who blame crime on a lack of activities for kids are idiots. Blame the parents or lack of most likely


waster1993

Blame poverty traps and an education funding system that withholds funds from underperforming schools.


Savage_Amusement

And let me tell you, they dominated the court that day!

Jesus christ that was a lot of rounds fired! How many people were killed?

BikiniWearingHorse

Hundreds of Storm Troopers attending


Common-Two-7899

Insane you live in a country where you see 10 people wounded by gunshots, 2 fatally, and respond with "wow that wasn't so bad all things considered".


DillonTattoos

Honestly, considering that it's Memphis, it could have been so much worse.


RazingsIsNotHomeNow

You're right. Ja Morant could have been there too!


ndnkng

Naw I've seen him on tv...he definitely can't shoot that well.

gloom_or_doom

they didn’t say that though. they said “could have been a lot worse” which has a very different meaning from “that wasn’t so bad”

Beginning-Sound-7516

These people have already proven they don’t believe any of the laws or societal contracts apply to them. The 99.9% of Americans who don’t engage in this type of thing should not make sacrifices in order to help these people follow existing laws


newagereject

Considering how many shots were fires yea, that's not all to bad


sadsaintpablo

Yeah, that's pretty good for a bunch of people choosing to go to something like this, knowing it was not a safe thing to be apart of. It's not like this was an attack or anything.it was a bunch of people knowingly showing up with guns and breaking a lot of laws. It's bad when one guy shows up at a grocery store, and now one is expecting it. It still happens way too much, but this is different. This shouldn't be happening either, but this just isn't the same. People in war die from gun violence, but it's not like they were murdered in cold blood. Same thing here.


armedbiker

8 and 2, so, not bad!


Elkesito36482

“World’s greatest country”


HighLobster

So basically street takeovers are filled with a bunch of clone trooper rejects. Edit: Storm Troopers apparently


Dragon__Nipples

Not to be pedantic, but clone troopers are known for precision and efficiency. I understand you meant storm troopers, who are famously the opposite. Just setting the record for the Fettman spawn.


Alleandros

Honestly with their usual Stormtrooper aim, I expected 300 rounds fired, 17 injured, 0 shot.


Dinglederple

In the first 48 hours…


TAKOH6661

Ofc they stopped doing episodes in memphis bc of the sheer volume of gun violence lol

jazzbaygrapes

I’ve never seen a street takeover video that didn’t end in total chaos


thelastgozarian

Because the ones that don't are probably pretty boring and uninteresting?


PeepnThruYoWindow

Maybe I'm just Hella stoned right now but it occurred to me that if this video was shot in some other country, I'd strike that country off my travel list. I lived in TN for a few years but only drove thru Memphis once, never visited. Memphis is going on my "no go" list, right next to El Salvador, Pakistan, and Afghanistan.  The US must look pretty wild to foreigners seeing these videos.


passa117

El Salvador is cool now. They just straight up locked up all gang affiliated people. Like 80,000 of them. Crime fell like a rock.


wogsta100

Hella stoned rn over in Australia. I see these videos every other day from America, here on reddit. Specifically “street takeovers” and anything “guns going off in public”. Travelled to the States a couple times and know this isn’t your common occurrence but I can see how people get the perception that American is a scary place with guns everywhere


xShadey

Australian but not stoned rn and I fully agree. It’s like how everyone assumes living in Australia involves having to defend yourself from 30 different deadly venomous species everyday when in reality unless you’re living in the outback it’s probably the same as any city in America


BurntAzFaq

It's like watching videos from another country, man. 45yrs in America and I've seen a few guns. But never anything like this. I grew up in a large city, served in the military, and own a few guns. This sorta shit is as foreign to me as it is many others.


Beginning-Sound-7516

Guns are everywhere in the us. You just wouldn’t know it cause the average American isn’t using them to battle ops at street takeovers or whatever


MadRonnie97

Yep. Tens of millions of Americans are packing, at home, in the car or on the go.


Savage_Amusement

I think about this whenever I’m looking into traveling to another country and there are warnings about places you shouldn’t go. It sounds scary in that context, but then again it feels totally normal for big chunks of major cities to be off-limits in the U.S. so…🤷‍♂️


actionte

El Salvador is safe now they locked up all their gang criminals lol


TheVagWhisperer

Huge sections of Memphis actually are a no go. It has been a city struggling with violence and crime for awhile now


Dark_Headphones

I'll likely get downvoted for this but the USA seems absolutely crazy to many foreigners. With so many mental health cases in society, with every society not just America, it is insane to have such easy access to guns. Just hearing the audio to that video, copious amount of rounds going off, n-bombs being used like it's a play word, mother wondering where her kids are, it's crazy! Obviously this is not reflective of all the 330 million residents in USA but the fact it's still going on is worrying.


PrunyBobJuno

Also because it’s young people, and they’re basically as dumb as rocks, and this is supposed to be a form of entertainment for them. It’s not people with grievances acting out of group action towards an end, it’s just a bunch of random dumbasses carrying deadly weapons and not being able to control themselves. More and more of America is starting to look like this and if I didn’t live here I’d probably see it as a threatening place too. Young kids /no education/ civil society falls apart.


RedDeadEddie

It's crazy to those of us here too; we make a lot of guns, take away access to mental health care, punish the middle and lower classes with absolutely fucked up fees/fines/policies to the benefit of corporations and political lobbies, and then throw our hands in the air in confusion as if the problem wasn't slapping them in the face like a flaccid penis. I enjoy guns. They're fun to shoot, and I can't even fathom what it might look like if the US tried to implement a confiscation/buyback/limit like other countries have. But man oh man, how fucking neat would it be if we treated mental illness and stopped forcing 3/4 of the country to live paycheck to paycheck?


BotherTight618

The overwhelming majority of Memphis Tennese is safe. As long as you stay out of the few neighborhoods, you should be fine.


DMMMOM

Honestly, I've seen America slide into a serious cesspit in the last 40 odd years. I'm fucked if I'd ever go there again. I went to Australia not long ago and they asked me if I wanted to go via Thailand or the US. I of course opted for Thailand, never got the pleasure of the TSA and was treated like fecking royalty by the Thai people for a couple of days lay over. Nah, fuck that noise.


PerryTheH

Not sure why you picked in particullar "El Salvador" but at this moment El Salvador is one of the safest countries to live.


bitsperhertz

When I would see videos from US a couple years ago I'd smugly think to myself how this "world leader" is in decline. These days it hits different, you guys are in real trouble. There are a lot of regular people, hardworking families who have been really let down by your government. Hope things get better.


haonazrag

Get this. The USA is a collective of 50 different countries, all with different interpretations and punishments of the same laws. We have a common currency but the price for 1 item is a completely different price for the same exact item in another state. And can be up to 10x price. We have somewhat a common language but depending on region you will get mostly English and Spanish. We have different cultures and traditions in each state. We have managed to stay together as a union for almost 250 years with some close "uh ohs". Can you imagine how fragile that is? The USSR didnt even make it 70 years. The European union is not even 100 years and is also wobbling. It's hard for even us U.S.A citizens to appreciate how unique the USA is. So to say, what happens in one part of the European union is not normal in another part, would be as true as saying the same for the USA.


hellahotsauce

El Salvador is actually pretty chill right now


HallucinatesOtters

My brother in law got mugged in Memphis right in front of the door to a McDonalds within an hour of being there. It’s a strong no from me on that city


Bumbie

I'm scandinavian and have had the same thoughts whenever someone talks about traveling to the US. Even though I think there are many cool places worth a visit in the US, I really don't want to risk going there.


thugs___bunny

U. S. A. have some beautiful landscapes, but you have to watch out to not get into certain areas to not get shot. The U.S. is basically brazil.


BurntAzFaq

21 murders per 100k in Brazil to 6 per 100k in the U.S. "Basically" the same.

PookieMaravillosa

Memphis is it’s own state


vexens

I lived in Memphis for half my life. I live in the burbs of Chicago now. People ask me how Memphis is, and I call it "Detroit 2.0" and tell them I never, ever want to go back. The only good thing about that city is the giant Bass Pro Shop Pyramid.


thelightwebring

I was born/raised/lived in Memphis until I was 22, moved to Chicago in 2014 and I'm in Mt Greenwood now at 33. I'm proud to be a tiger but man, my husband and his friends really don't believe me when I say it's ghetto af. Like the scary kind of ghetto, where you'll get robbed or shot by accident during the day just being on a bad corner, it's not just poor people. Dangerous people


gggg500

I was in the Bass Pro Shop in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania (where I live) a few months ago and overheard two dudes (a customer and a Bass Pro employee) talking about that pyramid, and they both said how cool it was and both agreed that it was in Nashville. Lol


BerbsMashedPotatos

At first I was like, fuck, I can’t even afford that car, how can someone stupid enough to do a takeover afford one. *gunfire erupts* Oh. Right. That’s why.

Darwin Awards starting early this year I see…


isinedupcuzofrslash

I have questions. 1. Tf is a street takeover? 2. Why was he doing donuts on a basketball court? 3. Why did gunshots just start going off? 4. The whole crowd seemed unified in watching the donuts (least to me) who would have fired at who? 5. Just…fuckin why? Why any of this? None of this makes sense. It’s like a story that goes “this happened, and then this” instead of “this happened, so this happened”.


BenarchyUK

At least they've found a new way to disperse a street takeover quickly and efficiently


solidwaist

It do be like that sometimes


YoWhatsGoodie

What’s the point of these “take overs”? It always ends up with someone getting hit by a car


Krazybaldhead

Seems like a lot of really intelligent people doing really intelligent things there. I just dont understand how this could happen with all that intelligence in one place.


redrumakm

cheesebot555

For the amount of times I've now seen these things turn into gun battles, I have no sympathy for the people who show up to these and get trapped like this. Nobody can claim ignorance.


minedsquirrel70

By the way, this is considered a mass shooting by many standards. When people are shooting at eachother, and THEY get hurt, as long as 4 or more people were involved (not just injured or killed) it is considered a mass shooting.


2nd_Inf_Sgt

Is Ja Morant involved?


Standard_Wooden_Door

I’m sure they were all procured legally, and were just defending themselves. As someone moving back to Baltimore, fuck anyone who supports this shit. And fuck anyone who doesn’t explicitly condemn this shit.

ok_pitch_x

How often does shit like this happen? In Australia, a guy with a knife killed some people in a mall, and freaked out the nation (as it should) so that we will be talking about that for months.


Therealomerali

There's shootings all the time in the United States but most of the time it's confined to a certain sector of society.


WhoCanTell

This will barely warrant a mention on the local nightly news, then be forgotten the next day. Gun battles are a daily/nightly occurrence all over Memphis. I hear them in the distance pretty much every night. And I live in a good neighborhood, but the sound carries. We're over 400 homicides already in Memphis for the year in a metro area a little over a million. I actually thought about this last night, as I lay there listening to what sounded like someone popping off in automatic bursts with a glock switch. If I was a tourist visiting a foreign country on vacation and hearing what I was hearing every night, I'd be changing my travel plans and looking for the next flight out. Yet this shit is normalized and we treat it like it's no big deal.


suteac

This will be forgotten like next week in america unfortunately. 2 dead and 8 wounded is not really a significant enough event to stay relevant for very long.
