Memphis Police Stop Planned Terrorist Attack on FedEx Forum
by Staff | Jul 16, 2022


Memphis Police are being praised for stopping what could have been a horrific terrorist attack after the Yo Gotti concert at the FedEx Forum. Click here to follow KWAM on Facebook.

Police arrested a 28-year-old man early Saturday morning and discovered a cache of weapons inside his apartment. Officers had assistance from ATF agents.

Elijah Hyman is accused of threatening to “kill himself and everyone he saw coming from an event being held at the FedEx Forum,” according to a police department statement.

Spade TV, quoting unnamed police sources, say the Hyman had six rifles and thousands of rounds of ammo inside the apartment.

“He says he planned to kill as many people as possible,” Spade TV reported.

Hyman apparently came unglued after his girlfriend announced she was breaking up. ... More from KWAM

I suspect Hyman has been unglued for longer than they think.

His Hyman was broke?
You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

Yeah, yeah, maybe what really set him off was everyone calling him Buster.

@Wingnut

If it hasn't been broken yet,it will be soon.

BTW,this guy is a cracka and it was a primarily black/superior being concert he was planning on attacking.

More good news for him is that it will be a LOOOOONG time before another girlfriend breaks up with him.

Does this mean he was planning to kill himself, and then everybody else?

That's how I read it.  I was thinking, "He wouldn't be likely to see many people leaving the event after he killed himself, so what were they worried about?"   :shrug:

A brief anecdote illustrating the concept:

A man comes home early from a fishing trip to find his wife in bed with his best friend.  Furious, he pulls out a pistol from a drawer and points it at his own head. The wife and besty start laughing, so he says, "Don't laugh!  You're next!"
