Jackson Jambalaya

Reckon Stokes will mount an effort to raise funds and replace the unit? Maybe he'll mount a podium at Freedom Corner to condemn the act. Chances?

what a damn shame

Kingfish,
Do you have an address for readers to make contributions? Those animals can die in this heat very quickly. Thanks.

Thank you so much for your wanting to help support us in our time of need! you can send a tax deductible donation to our website: www.arfms.org and click the donate button. or one can mail a check to our address ARF at 395 W. Mayes Street Jackson, MS 39213 again! thank you!evf

The mention of donations was only for the air conditioner. Not for an appeal for blanket, generic donations. If I want to contribute to an A/C purchase, I don't want it going to whatever Elizabeth thinks it ought to go to.

@7:46 - If you were serious about wanting the help the animals, you would allow the people who have given their blood, sweat and tears for them to determine what they need the most. Might be an air conditioner, might not. How helpful will an air conditioner be if the animals can't be fed??

I have had four Air Conditioners and three iron security doors stolen off of houses THIS year. Oh, and the plumbing from under another and the wires from under another. I sho du luv me some thieves. Thousands of Air conditioners stolen and how many arrest from JPD?????? NONE???

10:24 - Gee, it must be you. According to dozens of posts on the "Living Downtown" thread there are rainbow-colored unicorns crapping gold coins all over the rest of Jackson.

Seriously, I am stunned - I thought iron security doors were supposed to keep scum from stealing everything else.

Unfortunately, another air conditioner will only be another target to steal. The location of ARF is so unsafe, and I hate they had to move to such an area.

An iron cage bolted to the ground will need to be put over the next unit. I guess an electric fence around the entire compound wouldn't help?

"Animal shelter will remove to I-55 and Meadowbrook" New state-of-the-art facility in talks with Fondren Renaissance Foundation to move the cats to the property next to the Barrington and St. Andrews lower school and the dogs to their own property that formerly housed the Precinct Four Police station on N. State Street.

Yet another Madison county resident coming into Jackson to steal. JPD, go search the McMansions in Madison and you'll certainly find it.

Living in Jackson is so AWESOME!

11:20 pm Please do not venture far out of your yard and never visit another city.

Just a few blocks in any city can be the difference in being in a safe area or being at risk. Indeed, simply crossing a major street can make a difference.

There can be visual aids in making your assessments. You do recognize the difference between Eastover and a trailer park, right? Then, try really, really hard to see the difference between , oh, a new federal building and a warehouse. Start big and maybe, with practice, you can catch more subtle differences!

If they come to steal copper, send them back with lead.

Isn't this the location that Stokes and many other people rallied against ARF moving into? Hate to say "I told you so," but...

The bold new city in as bad or even worse that a third world county...lawlessness, rampant welfare, crime, disrespect... but not to worry, plenty of bling and bad behavior to go around!(and big shiny new cars to boot!!)

I said Stokes voters for a reason.

8:34....I'm 7:46. Save your sanctimonious lecture. I volunteer at several shelters and donate constantly. My point was if someone responded to an article about a stolen A/C unit by wanting to donate to its replacement, we don't need Elizabeth chiming in to plug for blanket donations. She should have accommodated the poster's request.

Right or wrong, and to your liking or not, there are many people who want to target or pinpoint a donation when they make it to any charity or organization.

"I said Stokes voters for a reason."

Right. You wanted to imply they were black. Hence, animals.

Wrong. Dead wrong. It was Larita Stokes who led an idiotic protest against them. It was Larita Stokes who created a climate of fear and hatred against the ARF in her community. It is Larita Stokes who has not spoken out against the vandalism and other criminal acts inflicted upon the ARF. So yes, I will call them Stokes voters.
