What They Said

About “Campfield Posts Pressure Cooker Bomb Joke”:

“Can’t wait for the stand-up routine. I heard he has some material using 9/11, Challenger and Columbia, Joplin tornado, and the Texas explosion that will have people rolling in the aisles.” — barf

Greg Cravens

About “It’s the County Commission’s Turn on Gun Rights”:

“Mr. Rowland, as an owner of a number of guns, I do support the 2nd Amendment. I think every American should have the unfettered right to own as many muzzle-loading, single-ball and powder rifles or handguns that they want. These should be exempt from all qualifications to gun ownership.” — autoegocrat

About “Animal Advocates to Protest Dismissal of Memphis Shelter Director’s Charges”:

“Please continue to cover this issue in the media. We need everyone in the community to bring pressure on the mayor to remember his promise, ‘worst to first’. We are ready!” — Mary Marjorie Weber Marr

Comment of the Week:

About “Maxine Smith, Civil Rights Icon, Dead at 83”:

“Maxine Smith was a beautiful lady, inside and out. She knew no stranger. With her courage, her tenacity and her smile, she carried this city on her back through decades of struggle and change. Because of her and many other brave activists, anyone can sit at a lunch counter, drink from a water fountain, go to a school of their choice. In her passing, Memphis has lost a lioness.” — MemphisTigers
