Man robbed while buying car off Facebook Marketplace

by: Lawrencia Grose wreg.com

Posted: Jan 17, 2023 MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Two men robbed and beat a man who was trying to buy a car on Facebook Marketplace on Monday, police say.

According to Memphis Police, the victim made a deal with an unknown person on Facebook Marketplace to buy a car. He was walking to meet the seller in the area of Wells Station and Macon Road when he was struck in the back of the head.

The victim told police that he saw two suspects. Both men held a gun and wore face masks. One of the suspects pointed a gun and told him to give them everything from his pockets.

Reports say the victim pulled out his wallet and threw $2,000 on the ground. The suspects also took his cell phone and watch. -- Page 15

OP-ED: Pursuing Martin Luther King Jr.’s Beloved Community

NNPA NEWSWIRE — According to Dr. King, the creation of a beloved community would require the American people to address three great evils of society: racism, poverty, and militarism. My friend and former colleague, the late John R. Lewis, arguably Dr. King’s most ardent disciple, often invoked the concept to buttress his calls for a “just society.” John was committed to the pursuit, but I always wondered if such were possible until recently.

Fear and Conformity

By Elvis Rogers

People have many fears. Most of these fears involve things that are not likely to happen.

These include things like the fear of a shark attack or the fear of public speaking.

There are many things we do every day that are potentially more harmful than those two. More people are killed by vending machines than sharks.

You are not likely to hear a worried mother screaming at her kids to “keep your eyes open for vending machines” or a husband warning his wife to “stay away from that live audience over there!” and yet we have no worries about getting on a highway and driving.

We consider the highway to be relatively safe and we have less apprehension about it than we do going to a beach. We feel more secure on the roads in large part because there are standard operating procedures in place that we trust every driver to follow. One part of that statement is worth repeating....”we trust other drivers”. We may not know them, we may never meet them, but still we trust them with our lives.

These thoughts occured to me in an unlikely place.....the supermarket. In the supermarket we have many components of a road system. We have side streets, toll booths, entry, exit, interchanges, major highways, alternating speed traffic and different directions, work vehicles stopped in traffic and the list goes on and on.

It seems to me that the ability to drive on the streets is a skill aquired both by watching and by doing and that it would be only natural for the rules of the road to carry over to how we manage shopping cards in a busy store, but that does not seem to be the case.

We don’t look both ways or keep to the right or avoid blocking intersections or anything like that in a store. Why not?

I thought about the structure that has to exist to have safe driving conformity and came up with five things:

(1) Established Authority- We all agree the the Dept. Of Motor Vehicles probably knows best and we agree with their thoughts

(2) Written Guidelines - There are actual written guidelines to follow. We can reference them.

(3) Social Pressure : We all agree that the highway is not a place to “do your own thing”. If you do your own thing you are considered an outlaw

(4) Survival - The stakes are high. Failure to conform can get somebody killed

(5) Penalty - You have to pay a price in either time or money to operate outside the rules.

These things do not exist in a supermarket. If they did then the supermarket aisles would operate like a city street. It would be quicker and more fluid. In fact, these five components that I named regulate almost every endeavour that we agree upon as a society.

Lynn Hennings recenbtly congratulated Raymond Brown on his retirement from our Groundskeeping Department. Thank you, Raymond, for your 16 years of service, commitment and dedication to our city and citizens.

So, now; I’ll circle back to why we fear sharks. Sharks do not operate with any of these regulators in place. In fact they seem to thrive with no rules, no penalty, only their personal survival at stake and an approving social network. They are totally unpredictable.

As humans a lot of our fears are of the things that don’t play by the rules, and that’s as it should be. We seem to hate conformity but accept it when we can all agree that it benefits every body. Fear leads to avoidance. Avoid sharks. Avoid public speaking if it causes you fear. No not fear the roadways. Conform to it’s rules.

“The only thing we have to fear is fear itself”.....and sharks. That’s my advice for today. E.Rogers@yahoo.com

Happy Birthday Dr. King

Dr. Mark McCloud, UT Martin vice chancellor for diversity and inclusion, served as emcee; Petra McPhearson, senior vice chancellor for finance and administration, welcomed guests on behalf of the university; and Nia Tate, UT Martin Black Student Association president, followed McPhearson with welcoming comments from the BSA. Jackie Thomas, pastor at Oak Grove Missionary Baptist Church, offered the invocation.

Watkins (right), a mechanical engineering student from Memphis, talked about King’s many personal accomplishments and sacrifices that led to his critical role in the civil rights movement. “Today, we gather to celebrate the life of a man, a man who though he never met us, has left an indelible mark on our lives, a man who fought for justice, no matter the cost. … Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a man of great courage and conviction who accepted the responsibilities of an organizer and leader with unwavering dedication,” he said.

Watkins spoke about the need to appreciate the slain civil rights leader and all who have sacrificed for freedom and justice. “To truly appreciate something, you much understand both the victory and the cost it took to obtain victory,” he told the audience. “Dr. Martin Luther King was arrested more than 29 times, and despite all the accomplishments, he still had many within his own community question his character and his true motives.” Watkins noted that King and his family suffered and sacrificed repeatedly for freedoms that King nor his predecessors would ever enjoy.

So, to Dr. Martin Luther King we say, ‘Thank you, we appreciate you. Thank you for your work, thank you for your efforts, and thank you for your sacrifices. You stood strong despite all you faced, so we cherish you with the very freedom we fought for, and we stand strong still in hopes of being cherished the same,’” Watkins said.

Hampton (left), the 11th president of Lane College, followed Watkins by also remembering all who sacrificed to build this state and nation. “When we look around this room this morning, we look around this city, we look around UT Martin, we see in you the fulfillment of

Begin the New Year with a New Thing”

By: Reverend Frank Thomas, Jr.

In this, the new year 2023, in this beginning month of January, beginning the first day; January 1, 2023, that began a new year, a new month and a new day, the first day of the new year. As we, look back this time last year 2022, by half way; six months to the beginning of the second half; six months, beginning July, 1- December 31. We have planned New Year’s resolutions, that always broken as soon as you make them. I want to introduce something new, fresh and hot off the press. Let’s begin to bring, the New Year 2023 in a new way. With a new of giving, a new way of living, pressing for the best, as we do fresh and new things. This year 2023, let us all have the right attitude, the altitude, having the mentality with the spirit of getting in the press. Getting in the press, is a way to succeed, to go on and to go forward to doing the best, blessed work of the Lord. (Philippians 3:13-14); the Apostle Paul addresses this church in Philippi with a personal goal for himself to accomplish; he said, “Brethen, I count myself not to have apprehended (to have understand or understood); but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind (old things, past events, the year 2022) and reaching forth unto those things are before (the year 2023, new events, new things), I press (lean on, to push, having need to) toward the mark of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. We must begin the New year by getting in the press. Forgetting those things behind in the past to those things that are before us in the present. God wants to bless us in this New Year 2023; with us having or wanting the desire to be blessed bountifully, physically, spiritually and materially. New heights will be gained this year. Unanswered prayers will be answered, God will open doors that have bene closed shut by men, he will open the doors that no man can shut. Even will without skills, God will open. This year for many God will open the windows of Heaven and pour out, rain down, send down blessings to those that been obedient to his Holy will and word. But we have to get in the press. God is, does and wants to do a new thing for us, in us and through us, his children. But we must put away the old things to open our minds and hearts for the new things, like pouring new wine into new wineskins (Matthew 9:16-17). (Isaiah 43:18-19) “Forget the former things, do not dwell on the past; See I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive (recognize, realize, understand) it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland. Not to, or do not dwell on the past, but dwell into and on the future as well as today, this moment, this second, minute, and hour. We can get God’s best and can have hine best by bringing in the New Year with a new thing. God bless you.

OP-ED: Pursuing Martin Luther King Jr.’s Beloved Community

Cont’d from page 2

Martin Luther King, Jr. visited Ghana in 1957 to participate in the celebration of the country’s independence from British colonialism. Upon returning home, he delivered a sermon called “The Birth of a New Nation,” and introduced his idea for a post-Jim Crow society in this country. He explained the concept saying, “the aftermath of nonviolence is the creation of the beloved community.” He equated a beloved community to a successful country.

According to Dr. King, the creation of a beloved community would require the American people to address three great evils of society: racism, poverty, and militarism. My friend and former colleague, the late John R. Lewis, arguably Dr. King’s most ardent disciple, often invoked the concept to buttress his calls for a “just society.” John was committed to the pursuit, but I always wondered if such were possible until recently.

The Biden-Harris Administration has planted significant pillars upon which a foundation is being laid to tackle the three great evils and undo the generational impacts of systemic racism in our communities. Their efforts and the response of the American people in last November’s elections have buttressed my faith in such a possibility. President Biden has spearheaded a “whole of government” approach, directing every agency across the federal government to develop policies that make America’s greatness more accessible and affordable to all regardless of skin color.

Racism is a clear and present danger to the success of our “pursuit of a more perfect Union” and the Biden-Harris administration is confronting it. Recognizing the importance of environmental justice to marginalized communities, the Biden-Harris Administration launched the Justice40 Initiative, directing 40 percent of federal investments toward underserved communities disproportionately burdened by pollution.

In their efforts to confront racism directly, the Biden-Harris Administration has begun to address the racial inequities in our health care system. My father often said that if you don’t have your health, you don’t have anything. President Biden signed the PACT Act to make it easier for veterans suffering side effects from the contaminated water, burn pits, and toxins they were exposed to at war to receive the care and benefits they deserve. Considering roughly 43 percent of active-duty military are people of color, this will help our Black veterans and their loved ones receive equitable health care.

Reducing poverty, King’s second great evil, is a priority for the Biden-Harris Administration. The American Rescue Plan, the Infrastructure bill, and the Inflation Reduction Act, have created millions of opportunities for the American people to achieve upward economic mobility. President Biden’s targeting of student loan debt relief will relieve the disproportionate economic burden of student loan debt from the shoulders of over 1.6 million vulnerable borrowers. It will also restructure repayment plans to make them borrower friendly.

Home ownership is one of the quickest and sustainable ways out of poverty. President Biden’s Housing Supply Action Plan is designed to help close the housing supply shortfall in 5 years by increasing the supply and preserving the existence of affordable housing across the country. There is an extreme mismatch between the supply of and demand for affordable homes. Closing this gap will create more affordable rental units and purchase options for low- and moderate- income families.

Dr. King’s third evil, militarism, has not gone un-responded to by the Biden-Harris administration. No one can forget the images of police outfitted with military-grade equipment in cities across the country during recent racial justice protests. The militarization of police is a phenomenon that endangers everyday citizens and precipitates violent policing.

The Bipartisan Safer Communities law reforms policing by investing in violence interruption funding and children and family mental health services. The law provides over $250 million for community-based violence prevention programs, empowering communities to interrupt the cycle of violence by intervening on behalf of those most likely to commit offenses that require police attention. Similarly, bolstering programs and organizations that can help prevent and respond to emergency calls instead of armed police officers could stop incidents from ending in police violence.

In 2022, President Biden signed an Executive Order on Advancing Effective, Accountable Policing and Criminal Justice Practices to Enhance Public Trust and Public Safety. This order mandates the reporting of police misconduct and use-of-force incidents and orders all federal law enforcement agencies to revise their use-of-force policies. Now Federal agencies cannot transfer or sell military equipment to state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies, cutting down on the militarization of our local police departments.

For us to continue our pursuit of a more perfect union, we must embrace Dr. King’s vision of a blessed community and confront the injustices that have stymied that pursuit for centuries. It is our solemn duty as Members of Congress to put forth legislation that advances liberty and justice for all. But for all our successes, much remains to be done. As we pause to commemorate and celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Hopefully, as we move beyond this year’s celebration, we will revisit this idea of a beloved community and recommit ourselves to making his dream, the American Dream, a reality. - blackpressusa.com

the dreams and the hopes of our slave fore-parents,” he said, recognizing the accomplished persons of color seated at his own table who have achieved major success and responsibility through hard work.

Hampton then directed his comments to students in the audience and reminded them that they, too, can achieve success but only through the kind of effort that made others around them successful. “Scholars, I encourage you put in the work. I see your dreams pulling up. You are made for this. You are made for greatness … and God has made a way for you,” he said. Hampton then addressed the entire audience saying, “Today, this Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. observance challenges you to dream with a vision and live with a purpose.” He said that people from the past would be pleased to see an event bringing together people of different races and backgrounds to celebrate and remember those who sacrificed for freedom.

While celebrating and remembering those who sacrificed, Hampton reminded the audience that much work remains to be done. “On this King holiday, as we celebrate civil rights heroes, we need remember the high cost of bigotry, divorce ourselves of our biases, challenge our prejudices, and eliminate the possibility of racism in our lives,” he said. “Racism is expensive. Prejudice is expensive. Bigotry is expensive. … We need to remember anew that God made each of us, and God has a purpose for each of us.”

Hampton added that in this country “divergent opinions, different perspectives and diverse voices are necessary and useful.” What isn’t constructive is assigning labels to persons who think differently, so he challenged everyone to engage in conversation. “Instead on this King Day forward, let’s have the difficult conversations in person. … Walk across the street, walk across the room, walk over to the next cubicle and do something absolutely radical in our day – talk to someone who you disagree with, who has a different opinion.”

He later closed by again urging the those in the audience to find a way to talk with one another and find common ground. “Friends, we have much work to do, and God has called us for such a time as this,” he said. “Dr. Martin Luther King said in his ‘I Have a Dream Speech,’ he spoke to the fierce urgency of now. … Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all God’s children.”

Three traditional awards were presented following the speakers. Joyce Washington, of Martin, received the Alpha Award for her community involvement, which is presented in memory of King who was an Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc. member.

The

The City of Martin Harold Conner Award was presented by Martin Mayor Randy Brundige to Martin native Johnny Shanklin for his service to the community.

Rickey Reed is this week’s Educator of the Week, presented by the Tennessee Education Lottery.

Reed is a vocal music instructor and choral teacher at South Side High School. He is a classically trained pianist, but Reed says teaching isn’t something he thought would be a part of his journey.

“I was on the shy side,” he said. “I thought I could never be a teacher. But through time, I watched others and I said I can do this and I did.”

He shares what he hopes his students take away from his class.

“In other classes you can basically fail or succeed and not disturb what anybody else is doing. But in here, everybody has to be successful and we have to work together to achieve a goal,” Reed said. -- www.wbbjtv.com/

West Tennessee OUTDOORS with Ray Jones

One of the most important tools of any outdoors person is a knife. I had a friend that was a knife collector who I once asked if he kept a knife with him all the time and he replied “If I got my britches on”. That is exactly how important it is for anyone who spends any time in nature.

Whether you are hunting, fishing or just bumping around, a knife is an essential part of basic survival.

Choosing the right knife for your needs depend on what you like and what it may be used for.

Knives come in two main categories which are fixed or folding. Fixed blades are heavy duty, easy to clean and come with a sheath, but folding knives are more safe and convenient.

Consequently, all blades have pros and cons so you have to determine what best fits your needs. Always consider blade quality because it determines how sharp the knife can become and how easy it can rust also.

High carbon steels are best quality but they do tend to rust if not kept in dry conditions.

Regardless of which knife you select; knife care is the most important on going consideration. When sharpening your knife always stay with the original factory edge angle. Draw the edge across the sharpener as if trying to slice off a thin layer. Repeat this process on both side until the finer grit is desired.

Always remember that a sharp knife not only performs better, but it’s actually safer because it cuts easily without a lot of force. So if you got your britches on it might be a good idea to have your knife in your pocket.

Poetic Expressions

THE BEST BOOKS BY CONTEMPORARY AFRICAN AMERICAN AUTHORS AND THE SOUTHERN LANDSCAPE THAT SHAPED THEM

By James E. Cherry Author Of Edge of the Wind

Who am I?

I’m a contemporary African American writer born and raised in the South. It was this sense of place that has shaped my artistic sensibilities. I was in my mid-twenties, searching, seeking for answers and direction on my own, when other Black southern writers were instrumental in pointing me in the right direction: Richard Wright, Zora Neale Hurston, Margaret Walker, Ernest J Gaines, Alice Walker, Arna Bontemps, Albert Murray, just to name a handful. Their writings were revelatory. The same issues that they were dealing with a generation earlier were the same ones I was struggling with every day. It opened my eyes, mind, heart and creativity to put into perspective what I was feeling.

I wrote...

EDGE OF THE WIND BY JAMES E. CHERRY

What

is my book about?

In the highly suspenseful Edge of the Wind, the main character, a sensitive but deeply troubled 25-year-old Black man, Alexander van der Pool, is off his meds and has begun hearing voices, especially that of his alter ego, Tobi. Having been holed up in his sister’s bedroom in southwest Tennessee for two months, Alex has done nothing but read and write poetry. Until one day, he is convinced writing poetry is his life’s calling and sets out to visit a local community college to have his work evaluated. But life takes a terrible turn when those at the college reject Alex and his work. When they try to kick him out, he takes matters into his own hands and holds the literature class hostage.

The books I picked & why

DEAD

WEIGHT: A MEMOIR IN ESSAYS BY RANDALL HORTON

Why this book?

This book epitomizes what it means to be Black and male in American society and how one’s poor choices or the choices that chose one can be overcome. Horton, a native of the segregated South and the by-product of educators, headed north to college and became swept away by the crack cocaine epidemic of the 1980s. A major drug smuggler, he spent seven years in prison for his crime. But it was during that time, that poetry discovered him and upon his release he earned a B.A., Master, and PhD degrees. In fact, he describes himself as the only tenured professor with seven convicted felonies. In addition, Horton is an award-winning poet, essayist, musician, and devotes much of his time to outreach into the criminal justice system to provide hope for others. Dead Weight, with its theme of redemption, is destined to become an American classic and should be on the same shelves with The Autobiography of Malcolm X.

THE VAIN CONVERSATION BY ANTHONY GROOMS

Why this book?

In 1946, two African American couples were lynched in rural Georgia by a white mob. Grooms fictionalized that account from the perspective of one of the victims, perpetrators, and a pre-teen eyewitness and in the process comes to terms with redemption, race, and violence not only in the South but in the nation as well. Grooms has the ability to juxtapose the beauty of the Southern landscape with the horrors that have occurred there with breathtaking imagery and conciseness. This book not just deals with the victims of such horrific acts, but the often untold damage done to the progeny of those who perpetrated the act. This is a fiction that will always be relevant as long as a nation struggles with injustice, oppression, and white supremacy.

TOUGALOO BLUES BY KELLY NORMAN ELLIS

Why

this book?

Kelly Norman Ellis is the Chairperson for the Department of English, Foreign Languages, and Literatures at Chicago State University. And like those who have made the “Great Migration” before her, she too has taken the South with her in this wonderful debut collection of poetry. In this book, she deftly taps into the Blues ethos to conjure vivid imagery of a Mississippi unique with its patois, cuisine, and customs that have unmistakably shaped her worldview as an adult. It was the South that would try to degrade and dehumanize Black life. But it was the same South where family and a village would instill pride, confidence, and self-worth. This is a book of a poet coming to terms with where she has come from and celebrating the journey. It reinforces the notion that everywhere you go, home is already there.

TABLE SCRAPS AND OTHER ESSAYS BY JUYANNE JAMES

Why this book?

This is where prose and poetry blossom into memoir. James’ account of growing up impoverished with an absentee father and how a small rural Louisiana community became her surrogate family is both moving and insightful. She engages in an exercise of self-examination of the things that made her a writer and the person she has come to be. There is much grace and beauty in these pages as she seeks a path of truth and understanding and mending a broken relationship with her estranged father. This story is both personal and universal and provides understanding of the human condition. There is much poverty, pain, humor, blues, disappointment, and love in this book. Always love.

LUCY NEGRO, REDUX: THE BARD, A BOOK, AND A BALLET BY CAROLINE RANDALL WILLIAMS

Why this book?

This book is reminiscent of Jean Toomer’s Cane. It blurs the lines between poetry, history, and the blues. Shakespeare’s Dark Lady sonnets are at the heart of a book that is both breathtaking and spellbinding. But more than that, this book is a reclamation of the Black female body. Over the centuries the Black female body has been defined by everyone but the Black female. Williams redefines notions of beauty, dignity, and self-worth in a world that is antithetical to the Black female body. This book is a salvo across the bough of social, racial, and political history that has dehumanized Black life throughout the centuries. Not only does Williams, a Nashville native, reclaim all that has been distorted about the Black female body, she celebrates it as well. -- Source: https://shepherd.com/best-books/by-contemporary-african-american-authors

ATTEMPTED ROBERY

,

suspects taken into custody

On Sunday, January 15, 2023, around 4 a.m., officers with the Jackson Police Department responded to a shooting at 800 Old Hickory Boulevard.

Upon the officer’s arrival, it was discovered that five victims were robbed at gunpoint and during the robbery, one of the victims was shot.

The shooting victim was transported by EMS to a local hospital where he later died from his injuries.

The victim was identified as 26-year-old, Sixto Noel Maldonado Perez.

During the course of the investigation, it was determined that three juvenile males committed the robbery and shooting.

One of the juvenile suspects was also struck by gunfire and was transported to a hospital in Memphis, TN in stable condition.

A short time later police were able to take the other two suspects into custody in the area of Old Hickory Boulevard.

Man robbed Cont’d from page 1

The men struck the victim several times before telling him to leave the area. He ran and hid in nearby apartments and watched the suspects remove their face masks.

MPD says the victim then flagged down a passerby who took him to uniformed police at a traffic stop. The victim told police what happened, and they took him back to the location of the crime.

There, he saw one of the suspects wearing the same clothing he had on during the robbery.

Officers took Marvell Ward into custody and found a 9mm live bullet in his pocket. He is set to appear in court on Tuesday. His bond is set at $75,000.

Ward was arrested in 2012 for Aggravated Robbery and was sentenced to 12 years.
