Jackson Jambalaya

'In Jackson, if you're not involved in the illicit drug trade in any way (including all those "good" white folks who go looking for drug dealers to buy their weekend entertainment), you're at very low risk of being harmed in a criminal incident. *That* is fact.

Utter crap.

She used to claim as a fact that there were white folks in Eastover trafficking drugs.

Talk about crime..... I read the below article in the Northside Sun recentlu. I guess maybe this crime in the Fondren area was on the news and in CL, but if it was I missed it. Poor woman was attacked, robbed, and her car stoten in a church parking lot on Duling St. at 9:00am in the morning. At least the JPD caught the criminals, but you have to wonder if they are already back on the street or not.

Two teens arrested for carjacking, robbery by ANTHONY WARREN Sun Staff Writer Northsidesun

"TWO JACKSON teens were behind bars last week after allegedly pushing down an elderly woman and stealing her car in Fondren.

On May 15, Jackson police arrested Preston Aundre Hart and Martine Arkeem Smith, both 17, minutes after police say they robbed and carjacked a woman in the parking lot of St. Luke’s United Methodist Church on Duling Avenue.

The suspects were found minutes later, cowering in a closet at a home in the 3400 block of Cedar Street.

At approximately 9 a.m., police received a call saying two black males had pushed the woman down as she left the church. Precinct Four Cmdr. Wendell Watts said police responded immediately, and chased the suspects into Precinct Three.

The suspects ditched the woman’s vehicle, a 2002 Buick LeSabre, on Fontaine Street and fled on foot. Witnesses told police they were hiding in a nearby home.

The suspects were being held at the Hinds County Detention Center in Raymond, where they were being charged with one felony count each of strong-arm robbery and carjacking.

Watts said the woman was taken to Baptist Hospital, where she was treated for cuts and bruises. He said the woman, in her 80s, was released that afternoon or the next morning. No bond had been set for the suspects last week.

“One suspect won’t be getting out period, even if he gets a bond letter, because he’s facing other charges,” Watts said.

Watts didn’t know what the other charges were, and they weren’t listed on the Hinds County Web site’s inmate search program.

The case was still under investigation last week, and video surveillance had been recovered from a nearby business, Watts said."

Ahh, Ughuhhhh,

Donna Ladd said....

Heh heh, Heh heh,

DRUGS in EASTOVER !!!!

Yeah ! Ahhhh, Yeah ! Donna is with the Great Corn Hoo-le- Oh !

Shut up Beavis !!

Does Donna rent or own residential property in Jackson or Hinds County?

Does the JFP own or rent office space in Jackson?

"At least the JPD caught the criminals, but you have to wonder if they are already back on the street or not."

Which wouldn't be JPD's doing.

What one has to wonder is why McMillin has asked JPD to go easier, i.e. slow down, on the minor arrests?

Apparently my Beavis and Butthead satire
was recorded at the same time as was the
post regarding the violent crime against the
elderly Lady in Fondren.

That was horrible.

In no way was I using this Lady's attack
as a reason to attempt "humorous" commentary on JJ.

Please accept my apology to anyone that
may been offended.

I suggest Ladd and her sanctimonious rag put their money where their mouth is. How? By relocating their offices to Ellis Avenue (almost crime free by the cited crime map) and putting no bars on their windows/doors.

Actions matter.

@5:42 PM - Donna Ladd lives in Fondren nowwhere near a black person. You are even hard pressed to find any hispanics. She rents her house and is rarely if ever seen outside. In fact, I'm her neighbor and I have not seen her once since she moved here.

I agree she should move to West Capitol Street and live there....I think her views would change drastically....I bet you'd see her convening a klan rally if she lived there for more than a week.

I know most of the folks that read this blog will not agree with me on this point. I grew up in the 50’s and 60’s in Mississippi, I know what I saw and I know it was real. There were different levels of freedom for different groups of the population. The more ethnic you were was the marker that put you in one of these categories. Some of these people have become fully inseminated into American life and the Mississippi culture. Others are have not been so ‘blessed’. Folks the pendulum swings, you have just been caught in a time frame were some are still in the process of learning how to handle life. The way I see it some people want to ignore the past and others want to throw money at the problems, neither will fix this. Only time will!

Truly Pathetic. Donna is a renter! What a joke! There goes any credibility. She really does not bother to invest in the city!?! I am amazed and disgutsted.

Many thanks for the calm perspective, 7:42. The dance of white superiority is over, and we're now paying the piper. Fortunately, most folks around here are trying to carry the burden of history as humbly as they can. That being said, there is no excuse for criminal behavior. None.

Interesting crime map, but as I suspected it's not complete. Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I sure don't see the crime referenced above where the elderly lady was beat up, robbed, and her car stolen in a church parking on Duling St. in Fondren. It happened on May 15 so it should have been on the map.

Interesting crime map, but as I suspected it's not complete.

The JFP interns thank you for stating the obvious.
