Jackson Jambalaya

Very impressed with the hitting over the head with a piece of wood....not the safest thing to do....but impressed anyway! Kudos to the wife. (Husband take note and behave).

The WLBT story identifies the victim questioning the police sketch as an Eastover resident.

yeah I know but I think they have been claiming its the same suspect for bother areas. Its not like they aren't next to each other.

Belhaven and Eastover are next to each other????? Heard a couple was held up at gunpoint after leaving the bar at SalMookies the other night.

Belhaven isn't next to Eastover!

Eastover ends at Lakeland and I55. Belhaven starts at Woodrow and I55. I'd say that makes them adjacent.

Eastover -- the subdivision, not the street -- ends at Ridgewood Road on the west.

I believe Belhaven Heights--which is where the crime is reported to have been--begins at Fortification moving South.

Regardless of neighborhood boundaries, if this sucker(s) shows up at my door, his gun better be loaded because mine already is.

These 2 subdivisions aren't even close to each other. But I agree, keep the guns loaded! (and locked away from kids, of course).

Whoever guns the guy down should get an award.

Jackson needs some bounty hunters to come in and take control of these thugs. With the unemployment rate as high as it is, you would think there would be quite a demand for a paying occupation such as this. Anyone want to suit up and make some cash?

Y'all just need some midnight basketball programs. That's all.

I had a black male pull up in front of my house yesterday evening in a honda civic. He was a skinny guy - didn't match the suspect's description, but I didn't take any chances. I saw him get out of his car at the end of my driveway, so I got my shotgun (which yesterday I said was loaded and it was) and went to the front door. He has already knocked and was walking away when I opened the door. He turned around and asked if I needed my brush piles hauled off (in a civic?) and I told him that it was the garbage mens' job to do that. He said ok, and then walked back to his car and left.

He didn't see the shotgun, but it was in my left hand the entire time. Afterwards, I kind of wished he would have pulled a weapon on me. He was about 10 yards away, so my spread would have been about the size of a softball (still have my turkey choke on). 3" mag will do some serious damage at that range. Oh well... maybe next time.

*He had already knocked*

Your last paragraph is hilarious, 11:14. Kudos for your honesty lol.. I think lots of us are 'ready'.

I've got my .38 ready too in case anyone wants to try a home invasion in order to steal my two $35 Banana Republic rings. Of course, they'll first have to get through the dogs.

Pistols are good for chasing, but I like the increased fear factor that the intended criminal has to endure from seeing a pump shotgun loaded and pointed at them - not to mention the increased probability of hitting more than one target with a single shot.
