Jackson Jambalaya

pretty much says it all

Chane's shirts and stickers are always hilariously right on point.

I think you can just remove the reference to South and it's still accurate, perhaps moreso.

Well now...come on...that is being a little one sided....really...it should read HINDS COUNTY stealing your shit...

Or it should say ...

Clinton - Steal shit, Get shot

why are people so critical of jackson. do something to help then complain

Popcorn, table 3 please.

to 1:19, there is nothing that can be done.Nothing.

There is no helping Jackson. It's doomed!!

Positive dialogue, re-branding, blah blah.

He misspelled "Your"

It should be spelled "Yo"

With the curernt economy the way it is, Jackson will continue to go downhill...crime will continue to increase...the housing market will continue to drop...those are just the facts...I have nothing against Jackson except for the fact my truck was broken into the first weekend we moved in....my husband's was too...hundreds of burglaries in surrounding neighborhoods...all the murders...my grandfather in law being brutally beat in broad daylight in front of his home...the purse snatchings...the dooors being kicked in...and again the robberies...not being able to go to Walgreens at 10:00 at night to get my son's medicine because a gang of people were hanging outside and I didn't want to get out...not feeling safe getting gas at night alone...but other than that Jackson was fine. I will just never live there again. Glad we moved to Madison County..I feel safe again. That's not to say crime doesn't happen in RIdgeland or Madison- because it DOES- but we have a better police force...People are actually scared of the police here...they aren't a joke like they are in Hinds...
There is so much Jackson has to offer but until someone gets in there and stops all the bs and gets a handle on the crime, instead of setting up speed traps to catch people going over 45, it will continue to go downhill...

--RE: why are people so critical of jackson. do something to help then complain --

August 27, 2011 1:19 AM, get a clue! You need to remember that most people who are critical of the sad state of Jackson/Hinds county Jackson these days about DO or once lived there. They grew up there and/or raised their kids there. They did their business there and paid taxes there. They SUPPORTED Jackson/Hinds completely. It was their home.

They warned about the direction Jackson/Hinds was going years ago and offered solutions before they moved their families for Clinton, Rankin and Madison, but no one wanted to listen...it was after all "just a bunch of white folks trying to keep minority folks down".

They STILL want good things for Jackson, because of how they remember Jackson being and...because the Hell that is Jackson is now sitting on their doorstep.

Bottom-line: people HAVE DONE so much for Jackson, for so long and so far before they ever just became "critical" of Jackson and its' irresponsible, criminal and dependent community and its' incompetent leaders. Get a clue!

Please be on the lookout for a Timberline GT Mountainbike. Last seen around 2:00 a.m. Wednesday morning traveling out of my garage, down my driveway and to the street. Never to be seen again. The Clarion Ledger would describe this as an example of a young male between the ages 17 - 45, borrowing a bike and blaming me for not locking down my house and curtilage like Fort Knox.

your not going to deter young graduates, young folks from moving to fondren,belhaven or that neighborhood with all the indian named streets. ive lived in jackson for 29 years and my parents longer. for the most part if you are aware of your surroundings your fine, i wont be told different im 29 white conservative..

Neighborhood with Indian names? Like Choctaw and Chickasaw or like India?

Inquiring minds and all that....

11:09: You are comfortable in the fondren/belhaven area because McMillin's boys were always in there. I hope you are able to be as confident in your neighborhood's safety a few years from now.

We could always count on Mac in Belhaven. We'll see what the future holds. I suspect there will be an increase in the number of shoppers in my neighborhood.

11:51 yes that neighborhood, choctaw and maybe aztec, 11:09 i dont live in any of the aformentioned neighborhoods but do live in jackson, many of my friends live in those neighborhoods, all those neighborhoods have great Associations.. if jackson goes under where do you think the crime will come, you may hate jackson but should have a vested interested because if jackson goes under the crimes just guna come like spilled water.. and also with the whole " making sure i pound into jacksonians heads how bad i view there city" ill say to you like my buddy kim wade says... whats your point dawg? and i like the suburbs spend alot of time out there with friends as well.. again whats your point dawg-

Jackson has already "gone under". It's not coming back. Someone just needs to tell the corpse to quit struggling and get over it.

12:37:

let me guess, english is your second language?

because if jackson goes under the crimes just guna come like spilled water

Contagion theory BULLSHIT.

I live in Jackson and the sooner the rest of you piss ant pollyannas drop that hackneyed and arcane piece of apologia the sooner we get this city down to the brass tacks of actual solutions.

No asshole, the crime isn't spilling out. It is staying here at a higher level of concentration.

I work the police and I disagree with the police being a joke . Look at the judicial systems in Madison and Hinds county totally polar opposites . I speak for the whole department when I go 10-8 I try to help.everyone I come in contact with but we are under staffed and not appreciated . I was raised in Madison county and I do know the difference between the two. Jackson has close to 200,000 property in it whereas the Madison has a county has 90,000. We are grossly outnumbered in this city but I can say we do try.

@2:43. You work the police? Donut?

It gets too damn cold in Minot, North Dakota. Minot will never be a nice place to live because people freeze to death for half the year. Minot really sucks.

None of that is relevant to this post, but I just felt like bitching about some place I don't live. Kinda like the antiJxn posters we see here.

Jackson will get better....in 2040. It will take several cycles of fraud and theft and graft before blacks finally realize that other blacks will use govt jobs to steal.... If you want to look like a soothsayer...print and read articles from other like cities...Memphis, Atlanta, Gary, Indiana...they are just now cycling...not better yet...but eons closer than the black klan which exists in Jackson presently...hate whitie wont go far when there are no whites to hate...

@ 7:38 i halfway agree . you need some salt in that pepper. i do believe it is alot of under hand things going on in jackson. i wish people would stop voting based on color. it is for no reason Harvey Johnson Should be sheriff again.

And his trailor-humping Pearl shirt? How creative! Or not...

1:12 yea english is my second language yet i graduated from georgia then uva grad school.. thats beside the point but..but being called an asshole on a site where everyone uses an anonymous name really hurts.. get the F#ck real dont call someone an asshole on an anonymous site.. anyways 29 yr old white conservative jacksonian signing out.. the only the only thing these young punks who live in the burbs have is positions in companys given to thenm by older folks who live in jackson such as eastover area... the businessmen who lives in the burbs have no respect

Curt; you might have a point, but, alas, you don't. Discussing shit conditions in Minot, North Dakota is entirely relevant if you live in the next town, don'tcha reckon?

I understand you're a lawyer of sorts. I may be going way out on a limb to assume you have an office and maybe a receptionist who makes coffee. That given, how many buttons does she push and deadbolts does she throw open in order to let a visitor in the office, assuming of course, he doesn't meet the profile.

When can we look for you to head out to Minot?

Look at the judicial systems in Madison and Hinds county totally polar opposites .

True dat. I'm sure it gets dispiriting for the police to keep arresting the same hoodlums.

Some Ph.D student needs to do a dissertation on crime in Jackson and give us some facts to back up the suspicions, like my revolving-door-at-the-jail suspicion above.

Don't need a dissertation Anderson. Talk to any JPD officer and they'll tell you how disappointing it is each time they see a perp on the street that they had arrested as short as 24 hours earlier. It is badly broken and no increase in the JPD officer ranks can be effective with Hinds County dysfunctionally beyond dysfunctional.

Guys are getting released in two hours in Jackson . The fear factor is not there of going to jail . We know you go to jail in Madison you are going to sit there for however long they see fit . I have taken a guy to jail for crack on a Friday he was out to car jack someone the following Monday . All the crime in Jackson can not be laid at the feet of the Jackson Police.

" you're not going to deter young graduates, young folks from moving to fondren,
belhaven , ect......"


No one is trying to deter the lil' progressives . It will be the best thing for them
to move into that funky, cool, hip, DIVERSE , and oh soo fabulous rainbow "district" .

They will get an accelerated education in sociology & economics their first week after moving into that
whimsical craftsmen style bungalow one block off of Hartfield and State Street.

After a couple of windows are broken out of the Escape Hybrid, and the Vespa is missing
from the carport, those youngsters will be in Madison or Rankin before they can say
Jackpedia.

4:10....you made me laugh...I like your style...nothing better than sarcasm mixed with a little bit of creative wit.

And I disagree with some of these posts...There really are some good things about Jackson. Jackson has a lot to offer...good restaurants, good shopping, and two really good private schools. I used to work downtown and loved it. I am just glad we moved out of Hinds County though...There is going to be crime everywhere, but it is worse in Jackson. THose are just the facts. I don't want to see Jackson fail...I hate seeing it go down the drain. There are aLOT of wealthy people in Jackson and very good, solid businesses...The crime just sucks. And it seems to get worse everyday. People are trying to help make things better and build Jackson back up, but it isn't going to happen overnight...Criminals just don't care anymore...they are angry and full of hate. Anyone can make something of themselves..you just have to want to do it. It takes initiative, motivation, and hard work- no matter WHAT color you are. Thugs are lazy...they would rather steal and cheat their way through life...and they just don't care!!! They don't care who they hurt...they don't care they are stealing from hard working people. They want what others have and instead of going out there and DOING something like getting a job and making something out of their miserable excuse for a life, they take the easy way out and go into crime. They are cowards...It is sad and extremely irritating. It pisses me off actually. Madison and Ridgeland are not exactly Mayberry, but I feel safer here...that is not to say something bad can't happen to me here- because it can- but I just feel a little safer. I do hope people stand their ground and stick up for Jackson and not everyone move away...that is letting the idiots win. But, for me, I was tired of the fight.

They need to chain up the Vespa...those things are neat.

curious - who were the two law firms sponsoring that shindig for Tyron at the Jax CC Friday night? we were at dinner and someone told us about it, but didn't know the sponsors. guessing its plaintiff's firms who will get some nice referrals from the deputies at SO.

Please do tell about the sponsors at the CCJ for YO Sheriff? Don't think the Malouf klan does bidness at da club but I might be wrong. This is damn funny.

652, should plaintiffs' lawyers not host receptions for elected officials?

Also, assuming they were plaintiffs' lawyers, what makes you think referrals had anything to do with it?

I didn't make the post but my guess is he suspected plaintiff attorneys of doing this because certain plaintiff firms and those doing criminal defense work were supporters of Lewis. Just a hunch.

My guess is that whomever sponsored the party had a financial reason for doing so. Again, nothing wrong with making a buck or trying to get access so you can process your clients down in Raymond more efficiently.

My guess would be it's defense firms shmoozing T given the fact that Lawson Hester and his law firm of the week have been up Mac's ass for so long, others are itching for a piece of that $400 an hour defense work.

No one is ant-Jackson. But if u don't
Live there your vote doesn't count toward
Change. I want Jackson to Improve for all of the metro areas. But Jackson residents have to get their heads out of their ass and push and vote for change. Right now Jackson is like a money addicted crack head and it's bound
To OD!

Rebekah: Is this really what you intended to post?

"Criminals just don't care anymore...they are angry and full of hate... Thugs are lazy...they would rather steal and cheat their way through life...and they just don't care!!!"

When DID criminals care? When were criminals not full of hate? Are we really surprised they'd rather steal and cheat?

The motivations for criminal behavior are well established. Trying to figure out why people rob and kill is a waste of time. Leave that for Rims Barber and Bill Minor to whine over.

It's like twisting our hair over why illegals storm our border while doing nothing to stem the tide.

If Rudy Gulliano can slice crime in half in NYC, can't Harvey and his Campus Cop at least begin to address it in Jackson?

Attorneys Dennis sweet and ed Flechas hosted the event held at the Jackson convention complex in downtown Jackson.

Shadowfax you are very right...stupid comment on my part. They never did care...that is why they go into the crime...
Sometimes I just write and not think...similiar to when I talk.

On the other hand, we're often told that Jackson's criminal element consists largely of 'just boys who want an opportunity for which society chooses to provide none'. So, maybe I just don't understand punks.

I agree with some of the above post when they say that Jackson is a lost cause.
When H. Johnson was in office before Frank Melton was elected, crime was so rampant that Frank was elected on the crime issue.
But then when he made national news about being a gunslinging mayor with a cowboy hat, you belhaven and frondren people started bitching, saying that he was embarassing you and the city.
so, you elected him out of office right before he died and you put the same person ( H. Johnson ) back in office.
Did you think that he would be any different after sitting 4 years out.
Then, just a few months after he takes office, the belhaven and fondren residents call the media, complaining about the burglaries in their neighborhoods.
And then, these same two neighborhoods call the media again, complaining about all the stray cats in their neighborhoods.
Belhaven and Fondren are both like Fort Apache, waiting to be over-run, and the only thing that is stopping this is mcmillian and his deputies.
I can find a solution to one of the problems for you. Just put a chinease restaurant close to your neighborhood. I can guarantee you that about three weeks after this happens, you wont find a stray cat within 20 miles of your neighborhood.
As far as the crime and what is about to happen to you after January 1st, 2012, the only thing that I can do for you is this.
WARNING WARNING WARNING
EVACUATE EVACUATE EVACUATE
Perimeter breeched, I repeat, Perimeter breeched.
And if you decide to stay, your front door will be kicked in, Demetrious and Antwaan will rob you of your valuables as they tie you up, and then make you watch as they have their way with your daughter.
You spoiled yuppies need a good reality check.

There's some truth in Rick's comments, but I'd like to propose an alternative ending:

When the two young men kick in the door, make them an appointment with Dr. Hayne.

When the two young men kick in the door, make them an appointment with Dr. Hayne.

I like it. Cha Ching!

Unfortunately, Jackson will never change. All white men care about is making money. The elected officials in Jackson believe that the white men have a "hidden agenda" (not sure what's on the agenda besides making money). As long as the "hidden agenda" thinkers go to the polls in Jackson, the city will continue the long spiral down the toilet bowl of destruction. If the voters in Jackson were more concerned about their economic well-being and less concerned about the hidden agenda, they might get around to electing someone that is business friendly to political positions.

5:29, let's put the pipe / bong down and go get something to eat. I think we've partied too much for a Monday afternoon.

Gotta love it when the JFPer's put their toe in the water.

And by the way, today ( 08-29-2011)
it was found out that Tyrone Lewis's campaign manager just got popped for D.U.I. , and he also had an outstanding criminal warrant for his arrest.
So this should indicate what type of personnel your Sheriffs Department will be sending out to defend " Fort Apache. "

Tomie will make all that shit go away.

Um...what is wrong with wanting to make money? That is the most absurd statement I have ever heard...Shouldn't EVERYONE want to make money instead of going out and stealing for a living???
You need money to survive...for clothes...roof over your head...food...not everyone can pop out 10 kids and live off the government. Some people ARE interested in making money...and those are the ones who get their crap stolen.
And anyone who kicks in someone's doors or windows and enters their house should be met with a shotgun to the head...trigger pulled. No questions asked.
