Jackson Jambalaya

How many versus that one guy on the ground? And the kick to the head after he was knocked out was a nice touch.

Who's heading up the investigation? Ridgeland, Madison or Mad County?

Too bad those "people" won't just stay in Jackson.

This park is a disgrace. Garbage on the ground. When I was growing up it was not like this. They should charge a modest entry fee, then they could maintain it and provide security.
Teenage boys will fight, if given half the chance. You need security in public parks or things like this will happen again and again.

Impressed with the narrator's expansive vocabulary. Nancy Loome, David Blount, and Cecil Brown should be very, very proud.

@ 8:28. Too bad rednecks who think its okay to swing at cops won't just stay in Brandon, but that is life. How do you know they weren't from Madison County?

I agree with 8:31. A modest entrance fee would keep these kind of people out to begin with.

8:28 am " those" people live in Madison county as well and no one had an address on their tee shirts.

You apparently don't get out much, " those people" even live in nice neighbors off of 463.

Ridgelandistan, an ever growing suburb with similar cultural attributes to it's next door neighbor, Jackisatn.

Yes, there needs to be an entrance fee. Even a very small one like the park near the Natural Science Museum would suffice. It costs money to clean up trash. I am sure the place was a mess after this "gathering"

As a Rankin County resident (oh yes, that means I MUST be a red-neck, I know)I really don't get what this feud is between Madison and Ridgeland.... I mean Madison is not THAT much nicer than Ridgeland. The only difference is that Ridgeland has a nice mall off the interstate while Madison looks forward to a JSU expansion and an elitist Sam's Club moving into its city limits.

The CL said they were from SJ. Shocking.

About 11 or so years ago, the Pearl River Valley Water Supply district had plans on putting like 12 million into the park for upgrades....all kinds of awesome stuff, we were excited because we live right here, but apparently, a bunch of homeowners in Rose's Bluff and Overlook Point complained about it. With those kind of upgrades, they could have charged a decent entry fee and kept the rif raf out!

The event was carried over from the preliminary the previous night in South Jackustan. That doesn't fit the narrative for the Jackustan pollyannas but their desperation to re-direct away from their shit hole using any crumb is the only modus they have remaining.

Cocoa Beach re-emerges. This is why we don't want "them" in our neighborhoods.

According to many who post on this blog, people from outside of Jackson who do bad things in Jackson = Jackson's fault; people from inside Jackson who do bad things outside of Jackson = Jackson's fault. Inconsistent at best. There is no winning with some of these people.

I must have missed the video of white kids brawling like freaking animals.

Posted it yesterday.

To the Barney Fifes above. A couple of minutes browsing the twittersphere will easily dispel your attempted projections.

This was mostly a Madison County production. Jackson has it's own issues, no need to deflect others on to it.

According to some who post on this blog Jackson is a victimized Shangri-La that needs economic reparations from its suburbs and the rest of the state in order to cure its dysfunctions. There is no winning with any of those people. Just send them more money with no questions asked nor strings attached.

9:17; you overlook the fact that Ridgeland is the apartment capitol of Mississippi and Madison doesn't allow them. And although our mayor wears a skirt, sometimes, like Ridgeland's, ours doesn't wear a bicycle helmet.

You didn't post a video yesterday of white kids brawling. You posted a clip of some obese, thirty-something lesbians duking it out over a bitch.

9:21; I think everybody is glad that plan fell through. Who wants a theme park at that location? Let one be built on the 55 Lagoon in Canton.

what does this video, or anything anyone has said on this thread, have to do w/ reparations?

Looked white to me.

@10:44, so you are saying that Ridgeland's mayor sometimes sports a skirt and a bycicle helmet? I have so much to learn from the citizens of "Madison the City"

I believe that I read that those arrested were from S Jxn (fancy that). I live near this park. Several yrs ago I had taken my kids there on a Sunday afternoon but soon left after a congregation much like this one arrived and the shouting of obscenities commenced. Hind2s Co. tags on all the vehicles.

9:21, lease holders fund the PRV, not the State of Ms.The lease holders should control how the park is used.

But, leaseholders have no voice in 'how the park is used'. Just as you, if you live in a city, have no say so how the local ballfield is used. State funds built the reservoir and originally built the accompanying parks, ramps and other structures. Now, however, you're correct in that state taxpayer funds are no longer used to support upkeep, etc.

@ 2:36PM A quick check and you will find that no state funds were used to build the reservoir, parks, ramps or other structures. It was paid for by the 5 counties that have people on the board. The lease holders along with some timber sales now maintain the reservoir, parks, ramps and other structures along with the dam for the entire state.

It was in the paper that three of the parks will now have an entry fee of $3 a car load.

And it was just as I thought when I heard about this.....Cultural Problem that mostly ignored due to race!

Of course 4:12. Can you even imagine the "Top Story" leads if this was a group ok white people. Hell look at the attention the redneck, drunk girls got for "fighting".

No diffrent than animals in the wild... a gang attack on the weak or injured, only then we call it natural selection.

Charge an entrance fee BUT with free entrance by leaseholders. Riverside Park (now Lefluer's Bluff park) had the same infestation in the 80's. State began to charge a fee. Nuisance gone.
2:36, wrong on funding.
But point taken. Battlefield Park is sooo nice. Hookers and dealers park there for convience. It's like Sonic for illegal activity.

Sorry, apologists, comparing situations at St. Paddy's Day parade and this video is a false comparison.
St. Paddy's parade is and has been for a years an event to attend to drink and party. Too much booze, white or black, results in mayhem by some. Btw, statistically, what % of blacks attend the St. Paddy's Day parade compared to whites?
The park mentioned here forbids alcohol and is a state facility.
Thanks for the failed attempts to equate the two.
Perhaps comparing something like the Farish Skreet Festival to the St. Paddy's Day Parade would be more appropriate.
This is Jafrica's culture spilling over into the burbs, plain and simple.

Entrance fee.

Savages go elsewhere.

Problem solved.

It doesn't matter when those thugstas currently reside, dey still gots dat Jackson mentality going on.
And a bit tip to law enforcement....Do NOT drive to the scene running code. You endanger the public and yourself doing so. Let the punks beat each other down, then arrive, scoop up the pieces and move on to the next call.

You ppl want respect? Really? Keep doing what you do best.

Okay whites hate blacks and blacks hate whites. Now let's move on children.

Those at the bottom end of the genetic or social pond always have to search for some person or groups they can look down upon in an effort to make themselves feel less worthless.

Bigotry=insecurity

Those at the bottom end of the genetic or social pond...

Is this about Kenny Stokes and that bus bill?

9:45; People comment on the events going down. If the participants happen to be white, so be it. If they happen to be black, so be it. That most of this crap is perped by blacks is hardly the fault of those of us who recognize it. Go piss and moan your bigotry crap at the club where you have a better audience.

Wussy Ridgeland police officers. Someone should have aleast been tasered.

Savages.

"Ain't nobody got time fo dat!"

Ever been to a Madison Central football game? Despite what they want you to believe, black folks do live in Madison County. And Madison "the" city and Ridgeland. The only difference in this video and the one of the redneck at the parade is that police were present at the parade and put a quick stop to the incident before it turned much uglier (I'm talking about the one where the cop pegged the idiot with his stick). So again, kudo's to JPD.

How that many teenagers, black or white, could be in that park without any cops present is that real question.

Keep'em in Ridgeland! Madison county needs to split into 2 counties as constitution allows. Ridgeland will do to Madison County what Jackson did to Hinds.

Yep, thank goodness they moved Canton into Holmes county... wait..

Back in the day we had a problem with the same park...nick named "coco beach"..well now, we put up a gate and started charging these turds $2 a car load and POOF! they went away.. peace and quiet again...!

7:46......Because the Reservoir Police were at Lakeshore Park fighting the same thuglets from Jackson. There's only so many cops and tens of thousand Jackfricans.

Once Burwell gets his finances in order all of this will self-resolve. The boyz will hang at the new underground bar he's going to build under the Rez.

6:13 Anonymous...best post on this thread.

I do see some humor in all of this. We've had three good threads on fights in the last couple of weeks. Whites fighting whites in Hinds County and blacks fighting blacks in Madison county. The rest of the nation should note the progress we have made!

Don't forget lesbians duking it out with lesbians. We celebrate diversity in the Metro. Nobody needs to feel left out. I'm waiting for Kingfish to post a video of Sweet Potato Queen Wannabees snatching each others' hair and fake boobies out!
