The General Assembly of Tennessee at Nashville should reinforce, strengthen, tighten, or intensify its control against the city of Memphis and Shelby County in Tennessee. It is our strong argument.

We don’t try or want to make this argument not because the General Assembly of Tennessee is, morally, politically, or logically, perfect. There must, may, or can exist some type of corruption, incompetence, incapacity, immoral activities, or even illegality there, too.

However, the level of corruption and crime here in Memphis and Shelby County already had reached the limit of one’s patience. Not only there exist serious issues of corruption and crime, but also the judicial and political leaders don’t have autonomous capacity here. That is the point.

People tend to mention such crime of gun violence, car jacking, car theft, or other stealing on the street here in Memphis and Shelby County, but lawyers, police officers or law enforcement ones, or even judges are observed, estimated, or suspected to have been committing serious crime here in these local communities. That is the reality.

Why do such phenomena exist here in these communities? We can’t explain such phenomena without mentioning such history, culture, mentality, and the local demographics of the local communities in the city of Memphis and Shelby County.

The legal jurisdiction in Memphis and Shelby County belongs to the state of Tennessee. However, Tennessee laws do not fit in Memphis and its surrounding areas. In part, it is understandable that one law should apply to the entire state of Tennessee. Each states make their laws, and they should apply to everyone in that each states. But that does not mean that Memphis has its own desirable laws. The laws in Tennessee are made in Nashville. Historically and culturally, the mentality of Memphis is, arguably, more like that of Mississippi. Why?

We suggest or argue that these vocabularies mentioned as below are very important to understand Memphis. They include, but are not limited to the Mississippi Delta (also known as the Yazoo–Mississippi Delta), Memphis metropolitan area (which is also called as the Memphis–Clarksdale–Forrest City Combined Statistical Area, TN–MS–AR (CSA) or Greater Memphis), Southern cotton, Southern landowners, textile industries in the U.S. and Europe, Southern leaders, Southern plantations, enslaved population, significant wealth and capital for the antebellum South, the slogan “Cotton is king”, the laws of the antebellum American South, Confederate States of America, Deep South, the Civil War, Emancipation Proclamation (declared in 1862, and came into effect since January 1, 1863), mass migration to Jackson in Mississippi (because of the geographical proximity), and mass migration to Memphis in Tennessee (because of the geographical proximity), and so on.

We emphasize the historical and cultural sides of BOTH(emphasis added) ‘the had been oppressed’ and ‘the had oppressed’ for the explanations of the realities or actualities of the development of history, and for the fairness, accuracy, and justification of our argument.

The historical, cultural, and moral development in Memphis and Shelby County of Western Tennessee can, may, or must be quite different from that of Nashville of Central Tennessee and Knoxville of Eastern Tennessee.

Memphis had been a cultural place of exploitation, suppression, and coercion for a long time. Such culture has been evolved into legal coercion which still exists in and governs a lot of legal cases in the communities. Corrupt judges and crooked lawyers are suspected to exist at the core of such social problems and legal coercion. It explains almost perfectly why there are or exist so-called so many “schemes” in the specific legal cases. Such schemes exist or can exist even before specific cases are filed in the courts. That is the reality here.

The General Assembly of Tennessee at Nashville should begin to consider making SPECIAL LEGISLATION(emphasis added) to deal with such deplorable phenomena here in Western Tennessee. The General Assembly should reinforce its control against Memphis and Shelby County.

One of the most important and urgent things in Memphis and Shelby County, TN, is to detect, investigate, or deal with so-called “crooked lawyers”. It includes allegedly corrupt judges when we say “lawyers”. They really should be dealt with.

And the rule of law is one of the core invisible infrastructure not only in Memphis but also in any civilized society. One of the fundamental reasons why the city of Memphis has bumpy roads here is that the social infrastructures were seriously damaged.

The function of the rule of law in Memphis and Shelby County is seriously and horribly contaminated by such so-called allegedly “crooked lawyers” including allegedly “corrupt judges”. Some of them are really not only extremely CUNNING but also HEINOUS. Only devils or Satans can compete against them in their own version of Olympics.

Reasonable customers and good citizens “have been hunted down” here in Memphis and Shelby County especially when they became the targets by some types of “cartels” including, but not limited to “government-industrial complex”. At the core, the distorted forms of “American Greed” and criminal mind exist. They are really psychopaths and sociopaths.

The Federal government should perform criminal investigations against such criminals or suspects. The Tennessee General Assembly should make special legislation in order to make or restore social justice here in Memphis and Shelby County.

The local residents should realize or recognize that such social ills actually exist here in these local communities. Whenever you see the bumpy roads around Memphis, you can or should think of such damaged social infrastructure.

Such crooked lawyers should be blamed in terms of social problems around Memphis. And they should be detected, investigated, or/and dealt with. They are really cancers in a society.

The case number is CT-4094-20. The office of Jamita E. Swearengen, Circuit Court Clerk should have sent and/or should send the receipt of payment to the Plaintiff in the case.

The Plaintiff had conversations over the phone, on May 8, 2025, with an employee of the office in terms of the receipt. And the employee told him that she sent (or will send immediately) an email of the receipt to him.

The Plaintiff has waited that receipt for about 20(twenty) days. However, it did not arrive until May 28, 2025. The Plaintiff made several phone calls today on May 28, 2025. And it turned out that it was ‘extremely’ suspected that the office did not send it on purpose or intentionally.

Another employee told him that she sent another email of receipt today on May 28, 2025, but it was not discovered in the email account as of right now, either.

Has the office been playing game on purpose or intentionally? The office should have sent and/or should send the receipt unless it was and/or is involved in any kinds of serious allegations/possibilities/issues of XXXXX XXXXX.

Why couldn’t they send the receipt on purpose or intentionally?

Why does the city of Memphis have such BUMPY roads on the street? It is arguably undeniable that there are a lot of ‘low quality’ of local people in and around the city of Memphis and Shelby County of Tennessee. There are historical and cultural reasons about that. It is a well-known fact or at least assessment that the city of Memphis has serious issues about violent crime or gun violence.

However, it is NOT a well-known fact or is unknown element that Memphis and Shelby County, TN have very serious issues or horrible crime which are originated from or connected with white-collar crime and hybrid crime.

Both of such gun violence and white-collar crime are serious cancers in Memphis and Shelby County. Violent criminals on the street in and around Memphis are not the only problems. Corrupt local governments, their corrupt employees, crooked lawyers and corrupt judges are really unknown serious problems here. They are really low quality of local people, too. And There are historical and cultural reasons about that, too.

That’s why Memphis has bumpy roads on the street, and the Memphians have been suffering from such uneven or non-smooth roads. That’s because both visible and invisible infrastructure has been damaged. One of the invisible infrastructure is the rule of the law. And the other invisible infrastructure is government integrity.

Corrupt judges, crooked lawyers, and corrupt government employees have been destroying or damaging such invisible infrastructure.

Have you ever heard of “CUSTOMER HUNT” in the United States?

If you know someone who drives a car in the street in the United States especially in Memphis and Shelby County of Tennessee, you’re recommended to pay attention to this serious issue of “Customer Hunt”(Emphasis added).

If the person has a car insurance, and especially if he or she has a State Farm Auto Insurance(Emphasis added), the consequences of such accident will or can be devastating, disastrous, or destructive.

To put it in a nutshell, it is or must be about HEINOUS CRIME(Emphasis added) which is related with or originated from such industry of car accidents or other injury accidents where so-called “Injury Industry Cartels”(Emphasis added) rule or dominate.

Navigating the fallout isn’t or may not be as simple as you might suppose if someone becomes the victim of a car accident and has brain injury in the United States especially in Shelby County in Tennessee. The more the customer is injured, the more he or she is likely to be hunted down by horrible criminals or suspects, or by criminally suspected activities.

A case can help the general public understand. The case number is CT-4094-20 in the Circuit Court of Shelby County, Tennessee for the Thirtieth Judicial District at Memphis.

If you have access to the docket of the case, you can have some level of information or knowledge about the case. However, the whole picture of the case cannot come into your view because the docket did not and could not have the entire information or process of that specific case.

Plaintiff-Appellant Hwang (“Plaintiff H” hereinafter) of the case was the victim of a car accident which happened on or about October 5, 2019. He had his brain injury and other injuries from that accident. Obviously, he suffered from the consequences of the accident and its related injuries. But that was not, is not, and will not be the end of the story.

It was suspected or alleged that Plaintiff H continued to experience and suffer from constant crime(Emphasis added), unceasing deception(Emphasis added), horrible hardship, deplorable unfairness, and extreme level of stress since 2019 until 2025.

Such suspected crime includes, but is not limited to “drugging”, “threat of homicide”, “forged signature”, “false statements”, “false police report”, “manipulated records”, “intentionally delayed delivery of legal documents”, “financial crime in his bank accounts”, “abnormal malfunction or failure in his account in the court docket system online”, “litigation crime”, “litigation interference”, “judicial crime”, “judicial shell game”, and so on.

Plaintiff H was laughed at by some officers or employees of West Memphis Police Department, Arkansas when he visited the police station in order to report a crime in 2020. Plaintiff H experienced the threat of homicide at night on the day when he visited Germantown Police Department, Tennessee in 2020. Plaintiff H realized that his signature was forged in a litigation of divorce in 2021. Plaintiff H ended up having more than several serious issues about Memphis Police Department, TN or its employees.

Plaintiff H did not know that the divorce lawsuit was initiated in 2020. It was suspected that such forged signature was originated from or related with the white-collar crime which such injury industry cartels performed.

Since then and until recently in 2025, it was suspected that Plaintiff H continued to experience and suffer from white-collar crime, hybrid crime, litigation crime, litigation interference, set-up crime, deceptive practices, judicial crime, judicial shell game, and so forth.

Plaintiff H ended up having unpleasant issues with a law firm which was one of the most disgusting law firms in the United States. The name of the bad law firm was Morgan & Morgan. That law firm should not practice law in Memphis and Shelby County, Tennessee. A case manager whose name is Mr. Preston Blair in the law firm can explain why.

Eventually, even a criminal complaint was filed against a judge, an attorney, and unknown suspects. A criminal complaint (or an affidavit of complaint) was sent or filed, by Plaintiff H, on or about November 22, 2024, against judge(attorney) Felicia Corbin-Johnson, against attorney Kip E. Whittemore, and against unknown suspects.

The affiant, Plaintiff H, stated, under oath, the relevant facts, especially the essential facts constituting the offense(s). The information was believable and reliable. The judge(attorney) was suspected to abuse her discretion intentionally or on purpose. The law enforcements should investigate the criminal complaint and its related cases because there were PROBABLE CAUSES there in the cases.

Those suspects were suspected to commit crime or criminal activities especially on or about November 1, 2023, Wednesday (11/1/2023) in a
courtroom in Shelby County of Tennessee in the United States of America.

It seemed to be so-called “set-up crime”(Emphasis added) or such suspected allegations/possibilities when the judge(attorney) Felicia Corbin-Johnson dismissed the case by her oral order on or about November 1, 2023, Wednesday (11/1/2023), and/or when the attorney Kip E. Whittemore performed in the courtroom at the same time on the same day. And it seemed that there could/might/must have been other unknown suspects behind the scene or under the table.

Afterwards, Plaintiff H experienced such attempts of “framing” by a bad lawyer from another bad law firm. The opposing counsel in the case, Mr. R. Scott Vincent filed some documents on or about December 12, 2024. However, attorney Vincent‘s intentional arguments can and should be interpreted as inappropriate and harassing towards Plaintiff H. The name of the bad law firm was Allen, Summers & Gresham, PLLC.

Such suspected allegations/possibilities continued to happen until recently this year in 2025. Horrible happenings occurred on or about February 24, 2025, Monday(2/24/2025), on or about at 10:20A.M. in the courtroom of room number 316 in the Circuit Court of Shelby County, TN. Plaintiff H was allowed to have only ‘twenty-eight (28) minutes'(Emphasis added) to read and review the proposed order in the hallway.

Literally, 28 minutes in the hallway in the court building (where people passed by or walked by with noises) were not enough for Plaintiff H to read and review a proposed order on the pending motions or/and especially for/about dismissing a case of litigations FOR YEARS(Emphasis added). It was extremely suspected that there were some kinds of deceptive, unfair, or even criminally suspected activities by judge(attorney) Gina C. Higgins, attorney R. Scott Vincent, and/or unknown suspects.

Attorney Vincent arrived at the courtroom on or about at 10:30A.M. Plaintiff H began to read the proposed order at 10:47A.M. And he had to stop reading those documents at 11:15A.M. because judge(attorney) Gina C. Higgins did not allow him to read more. It was extremely suspected that the proposed order was not sent, intentionally or on purpose, to Plaintiff H until that morning on or about February 24, 2025, Monday(2/24/2025), since the hearing day on or about February 21, 2025, Friday(2/21/2025). It was suspected to be set-up activities. It was suspected to be cunning activities.

When Plaintiff H respectfully asked judge(attorney) Gina C. Higgins whether she was the first person who signed on the document of the memorandum, she said, “I don’t remember”(Emphasis added).

One of the fundamental problems in/around the city of Memphis in the county of Shelby County in the State of Tennessee is that the reality or actuality of the rule of law here in this jurisdiction are suspected to have or show criminality, depravity, inaction, or/and malfunction.

The legal education in terms of legal ethics has failed. The supervisory function towards the legal or judicial circles has been fossilized. Self-purification function within the jurists and/or the legal professionals is almost like a dream beyond reach around Memphis in Tennessee including, but not limited to the city of Jackson in the county of Madison County where Tennessee Court of Appeals is located.

There are corporate, companies, or businesses which have issues of performing ‘unfair and deceptive practices’ towards their customers. What was worse, there were allegations or suspicions that even local law enforcements were involved in illegal activities. And there are lawyers at the law firms who have issues of legal malpractices, or of stealing legal rights.

What was worst, there were allegations or suspicions that there have been even such lawyers who were sitting on judicial benches as judges, who have issues of being involved in the white-collar crimes, or of stealing or robbing the legal rights and claims of the innocent indivisuals.

Plaintiff H could not visit, meet, and see his parents and family since the years of 2018 and 2019 because of the car accident, its consequences, and its related crime. It was suspected that Plaintiff H could not have any medical treatments for his brain injury because of the injury industry cartels. Plaintiff H ended up being homeless on and off because of the alleged or suspected crime or criminal activities. Plaintiff H could not collect or organize all of the documents to prove what happened because he had to continue to move to another places since the car accident.

Plaintiff H ended up having several legal cases since the car accident. All of his legal cases and claims should be reopened at some point in the future because he could not have fair process of litigations and because there were alleged or suspected litigation crime and interference. It is not, or should not be considered as res judicata. Moreover, even some of the alleged litigation crime or interference were suspected to come from judges, lawyers, courts, or court clerk offices.

Memphis & Shelby County, TN have serious issues about the psychopathy and the sociopathy in terms of injury industry, legal circles, and corrupt government officials. There are heinous psychopaths(Emphasis added) and sociopaths(Emphasis added) within and from such injury industry cartels. And such criminals and suspects have been destroying innocent indivisuals’ lives in Memphis and Shelby County, Tennessee.

Psychopathy is, according to the encyclopedia Britannica, the personality disorder which is characterized by a set of dysfunctional interpersonal, emotional, lifestyle, and antisocial tendencies. It is said that persons suffering from psychopathy—sometimes called psychopaths—commonly exhibit a lack of empathy or remorse and manifest impulsiveness, manipulativeness, and deceitfulness, among other negative traits and behaviours.

Who are such abnormal or antisocial players of psychopathy in Memphis and Shelby County, TN? The core members of such suspects are the (allegedly) corrupt coporate persons, and the (allegedly) crooked lawyers including the (allegedly) corrupt judges and the (allegedly) court clerk offices’ persons. And there are psychopaths and sociopaths at the rear, who are motivated by the distorted forms of the American Greed, and who are in total derangement.

Those criminals, suspects, psychopaths, or sociopaths are really ‘endstage malignant tumors'(Emphasis added) in Memphis and Shelby County, Tennessee.

Presumption of Innocence. As you already know, they say that it is a cardinal principle of American system of justice that every person accused of a crime is presumed to be innocent unless and until his or her guilt is established beyond a reasonable doubt.

Founded in 1922, State Farm is, according to the Wikipedia encyclopedia, the largest property, casualty, and auto insurance provider in the United States. State Farm is said to be ranked 39th or 42nd in the 2024 Fortune 500, which lists American companies by revenue. The encyclopedia says that Michael L. Tipsord is the Chairman of the company. And Jon Farney is the President & CEO(chief executive officer) there in the company.

Mr. Tipsord was said to be born on or about June 20, 1959 and raised in Illinois, graduated with a B.S. degree summa cum laude in 1981, from Illinois Wesleyan University in Bloomington, and a J.D. degree in 1984 magna cum laude from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Tipsord replaced Edward B. Rust Jr. as chairman on September 1, 2015.

Mr. Jon Farney was said to receive a bachelor’s degree in accounting from Illinois State University, Normal and earned his MBA from the University of Michigan. Farney joined State Farm in 1993 and has served in a variety of executive leadership positions including assistant vice president – securities products, assistant vice president – planning & analysis, vice president – financial operations and operations vice president – underwriting.

These indivisuals were and are the CEOs of the company in record. They were and are George J. Mecherle 1922–1937 (14 years), Raymond Mecherle 1937–1954 (16 years) Adlai Rust 1954–1970 (15 years), Edward B. Rust Sr. 1970–1985 (14 years), Edward B. Rust Jr. 1985–2015 (29 years), Michael L. Tipsord 2015–2024(about 10 years), Jon Farney 2024–present.

Michael L. Tipsord (Chairman) and Jon Farney (President & CEO) can or should explain why State Farm has been so much or extremely hated in the city of Memphis, in the county of Shelby County, in the State of Tennessee, and in the United States of America.

State Farm is arguably one of the most hated, detested,disliked, or despised companies, by the general public, in the United States let alone to Memphis and Shelby County.
