Police were called in to control an unruly mob of Memphis unemployment recipients whose benefits had run out and were angrily demanding the state continue extending their already depleted entitlements. The Liberal media managed to spin this but read the whole article and see the future of every city that has large swaths of people who can’t care for themselves demanding impoverished state governments care for them indefinitely. When the state can’t pay, things will get ugly.

From MyFox Memphis:

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Monday morning hundreds of people lined up, angry because their unemployment resources have run dry prematurely. Turns out some unfinished business in the Senate was behind the mishap.

Imagine being fired or laid off from your job and your only means of income is in the form of a state unemployment check.

What if you called to get your check and were told there was no money available? That’s exactly what happened to hundreds of Memphians over the weekend.

Actually that’s not exactly what happened as we see later. Basically most of these people have exhausted their benefits but the Senate keeps voting extensions in. This time, for some mysterious reason that may rhyme with roke, the legislators ended their session sans voting on extensions. Wonder why?

But the people on the receiving end of what they think is unlimited largess don’t care why:

Hundreds of people lined up Monday morning at the city’s unemployment office on Poplar, confused about a message they received over the weekend when they called about their unemployment check.

“When I called Sunday they told me the funds were exhausted,” said Mary Porter.

That’s because last week the U.S. Senate adjourned without passing legislation to extend the expiration date for some unemployment benefits.

“Everybody is just frustrated that their money isn’t coming through, they haven’t passed the bill,” said Robert Flowers.

“I hope that it’s only temporary because a lot of us need our funds to try to keep our own micro economies going,” said Melvin Christian.

Catch that. Melvin Christian thinks unemployment is “his” money and the state needs give it to him so he can keep his “micro economy” going. Micro economy is the new euphemism for welfare state I guess.

Long story short. Cops had to come to the scene because the people were restless, they were parking where ever they wanted and several people were arrested and cars towed.

And this was over people who had up to 99 weeks of unemployment already being told they teat was dry. But the state caved and started telling them things would be alright.

What do you think this crowd would do if Tennessee said they had no money to give them?

Are you prepared?
