Jackson Jambalaya

Wow....just wow. Nothing really more to say.

Watched part. No need to continue. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Jackson.F'ing.Local. Sho-nuff!

I assume this child is talking about selling marijuana? He is going to have to sell a shit pot of week to pay for a new set of tires on that 84 Cutlass.

Seriously...McDowell road back in the day was about the same..just all white kids...same drugs...same cars (in fact..I think this car was probably there when it was new). McDowell kids just were not dumb enough to video themselves selling weed.

I know. Then there are the meth heads and the zanex queens, posted a video of one of those the other night.

Evidence-based proof that the individuals in the video are not adhering to the mandates spelled out in the JFP Crime Manifesto.

Think they're scared of the new sheriff coming to town?

Cue: "Blazing Saddles" music here ;-)

Look at their other videos on youtube..they're just rubbing it in that there doing what there doing and not getting in trouble..thanks jpd..i feel REAL safe :/

Where is Lynch Street? Not that I go south of the Renaissance very often, but I'd like to know just in case.

Lynch Street runs behind the Metro Center in the Hood!

Thankfully, you don't need to beg and scream from the rooftops "READ ME! READ ME! I have something to say about crime". It is refreshing to actually see someone reporting on the crime and exposing criminals; and not just focus on statistics.

Aside from some minor moving violations, I didn't see anything illegal occurring in this video. Well, maybe some truancy...but, they were very careful to put anything explicitly illegal in here.

And, it's not that I'm supporting this behavior at all.

I mean, what are you going to do, convince these guys to go work at Home Depot? They lead short lives and then they disappear, slowly becoming more and more inept, incompetent and unable to protect their rep and turf.

Nothing in this video is new or shocking. If it is, you just haven't had your eyes opened yet.

I thought Lynch intersected with Ellis just a block or so north of 80.

Bychance are these children disrespecting the memory of J.R.Lynch? Surely nobody would disrespect the name of those after which streets are named. Streets named after prominent locals or well known American contributors are to be honored, cherished, kept as pseudo-holy, kept neat and orderly, all as a sign of respect.

Check out the WLBT news story on the triple shooting/double homicide.

If it is, you just haven't had your eyes opened yet.

ZZZZZzzzzzzz.

You don't seem to be listening. Nobody gives a shit about your worldliness.

We are witnessing the disintegration of civil society. Sad to see a once great nation fade away...

@12:38

What is your problem?

Are you trying to make a point or are you more interested in just being crass, rude and ignorant?

Wait...maybe YOU'RE in the LSPG?!!

Nothing illegal? They are smoking dope the whole video...

I'd pay admission to see him pile the hoop ride up on a curb.

Where's Ben Allen to tell us how safe Jackson is, or Donna "I lived in New York so I'm better than you" Ladd to berate us about the perception of crime?

LSPG???

Lee's Summit Physicians Group??

Life Support Power Generation System??

Leech, Scherbel, Peddicord & Given??

WTF?

KK: the first line of the story says Lynch Street Profit Gang.

Get someone to read it to you, Dumbass.

lesson here is: dont live "be" in west or south jackson and dont participate in drug dealings and you "should" be ok

They will end up in the penal system. Why not just build a fence around Jackson and make it a prison, the law abiding residents feel like they are already there. I bet if you ask who the Police Chief in Jackson is the Jackson residents cannot tell you. Sad sad sad.

I guess Google isn't my friend f$#^nut.

12.16
well put. i was trying to meet a client once in a town i'd never been to, called him and he asked what street i was on. told him MLK and he suggested i leave there at once. i now think i have never been anywhere i thought MLK st/blvd/whatever was safe.

Make sure Jacksonians elect a mayor who is pro police next year so JPD can get a chief who is going to address the crime problem instead of putting on a dog and pony show.

Someone other than Shadowfart has now crossed the rubicon with Captain Dumboroo.

Unlike anonymous critics of nothing more than messengers, I will take the time to offer my thoughts on the LSPG acronym.

First, I bet you I wasn't the only one that didn't know what they were referring to.

Second, if you are going to refer to a non-entity, one that has never been heard of, only mentioned here for the first time (in my readings) with an acronym, I would think (given I'm reading from an RSS) that you would take the time to refer to them as they are described in the article.

I would know what you are talking about if you referred to them as "young enterprising men driving a hot rod" or "entrepreneurs bent on success" or "loose-knit group of Loudpackers". Instead you chose an acronym, unknown, I assure you, to all; especially those using a RSS feed or responding to email.

No one has crossed me, I just responded, if you can't handle it, not my problem, but thank you for taking the time to acknowledge my response. It was short b/c I frankly did not have the time to provide an explanation.

And as a final note, I don't respond to SF. He does just fine on his own "foolin' hisself" without my commentary.

i live in jackson her name is Colendula Green.. I know because she is on the news errrry night talkin about a shovel ready project

Just another group of loser thugs in Jackson. What else is new????

For entertainment value only - check out the
comments on the JFP . Brad's "Shoot the Messenger" piece seems to have started the latest
Kaz-Ladd feud .

I think ...Donner is upset w/"Kamikaze", but at the same time she appears to be also arguing with
herself once again. It's confusing !

The half dozen others that Ladd allows to comment , are stirred up as well. Unfortunately , I can't follow what these lucky commentators are trying to say.

Kind of liking watching ant behavior when the ant bed is kicked.

A group displaying their African ancestral memory of some sort of male challenge and dominance ritual - it seems quite natural to them - the chanting ,the rhyming, the macho dancing quite satisfying -though to an outsider it is strange indeed. It just goes to show that our genetic traits are deeply imbedded in us - and for such reasons integrating different ethnic groups has its hurdles.

Chris Rock does a commentary on his demographic vs this one....in whitefolks terms it would be professionals vs rednecks....appropriate

I'd rather be constantly looking over my shoulder and listening for banjo music in the foothills of Appalachia than to be surrounded by these ignoramuses....Who's with me?

Absolutely amazing :

More denial and a new
EXCUSE from 8:51.

" our genetic traits are deeply imbedded in us "

Dude, I doubt that you realize it, ...
but you have just validated the White Supremacists'
argument for the last 500+ years.

According to 8:51 - 21st century thuggery is a DNA issue.

I left it up so y'all could blow it out of the water.

In accordance with the debate rules, since Kangaroo mentioned me, I get a rebuttal. While assuring us he's too busy to fool with 'an explanation' (aloof much?), he rambles at length about nothing, then concludes by slamming me, yet again. At least this time he used his regular anonymous monicker while ridiculing others who are anonymous.

Lulz.

It is just a rap video...albeit a very lame one...but eventually these thugs will end up dead and we can move on to another story.

The one smoking in the white shirt was one of the murdered men.

There were the "hoods" and bikers and rebels without a cause and beatniks in the 50s. And, of course, rock n roll was shocking and we were all going to hell.
In the 60s there were toga parties where many were wasted on alcohol. Dancing to Rufus Thomas' " Walking the Dog" could get pretty lewd and some drunk girl would get on a table to dance and start stripping if it was a really " good" frat party.
In the 70s, well, there was Woodstock and even in....oh my... Mississippi wife swapping parties. I can't give a first hand report as we turned down such invitations but were good looking enough to get hit on. There was even a governor in a heart shaped bath tub or was that the 80s?
The language is worse now though I recall parents were shocked at s^^t and the F word.
Crime wasn't as fashionable as it appears to be now even on Wall Street or legalized like it is in Congress with Insider trading, but there was Bonnie and Clyde in the 60s , Elvis was doing drugs by the 70s and I've read that some admired Jesse James or Al Capone when times were hard. In the 50s there was the Payola scandal and the 60s there were murders by law enforcement and "preachers" and former CIA agents doing B&E in the 70's.
Some of the young people in this video will lead a wasted life and others will straighten up. Just like some bikers in the 50s became drunks and criminals and some became CEOs who ride their Harleys for fun still.
Perhaps, the problem is that it gets harder to rebel against and to shock the old folks.
I'm not saying there's not a moral decline and the poorer we get, the worse crime will be, for sure.
But, anyone who supported( with action or silence) the Klan activities here in the 60s...well... your moral outrage is not just the height of hypocrisy, you modeled a lack of respect for our laws and an end justifies the means morality and too many of Kluxers got by with it proving one can avoid paying for one's crimes. Learn to live with the results.

Someone please tell the dysfunctional Forest Gump above @ 8:26 AM to STFU.

So 8:26 that just means anything goes?

YOU MUST STAND FOR SOMETHING OR YOU STAND FOR NOTHING!

With any luck, the driver will lose control of the car and take them all out. Problem solved!
