Jackson Jambalaya

'Two black guys', huh? How ironically fitting had it been 'Two Illegal Mexican Guys'.

Catholic Charities happens to be the biggest institutional proponent of illegals in this country. Sanctuary, advocate, apologist, coddler....

Hey Jose, let's see if you can make EVERY post be about your own pet issue, instead of what the post is actually about.

Pet issue? We aren't discussing MARL are we?

I am shocked to see that these incidents of crime have not been reported by the JFP.

Incidents of PERCEIVED crime, 6:28.

Under the new mayor, these aren't criminals, they're tax collectors.

Most likely felons in possession of a firearm. The City of Jackson and the feds improved the net, but the gun lobby is always supporting an armed- to-the-teeth citizenry with loopholes and secondary markets for felons to trade in.

This is why I don't go to church...

Are you sure this and the Northminster events are true? Our reliable newspaper, the C-L, -- Mississippi's Leading News Source -- hasn't reported it. They also didn't report that Sen. Horne was robbed in his driveway. In fact, all appears well in the City With Soul. Rumor mongers and fear freaks need to go away. Call Jeff Good and he'll he will assure you crime is just a perception, not reality. Broad Street backs up to St. Richards, so he should know, don't you think?

"the gun lobby is always supporting an armed- to-the-teeth citizenry..."

What's wrong with that?

"with loopholes and secondary markets for felons to trade in."

A lie. Street thugs don't obtain firearms through loopholes and arms-length transactions in "secondary markets." Thugs don't have time to fill out a Form 4473 and wait for the NICS check to come back "Proceed" while they are burglarizing houses/vehicles and stealing guns.

More sophisticated thugs obtain their guns using straw purchasers who do pass a background check.

Stop trying to blame the acts of street criminals on the "gun Lobby," who, by the way, represent 4 million individual law-abiding U.S. citizens.

If there is a lesson to be learned here, it is to arm yourself to protect yourself.

Amen Mr. Crowley, Amen. Street thugs do not give a rat's patoot what the law is, what the gun lobbies "say", etc. Their weapons are obtained in "other" ways. And if the thugs are armed to the teeth, then by dang, every citizen should have the option to be armed too! I am and feel better because of it.

Madison BOS is considering a ban on all Hinds county residents from entering Madison between 10 pm and 5 am. The oridnance, if passed, will decrease crime by 58% a study found. Call your BOS supervisor and tell them you approve of this.

10:48 I hope you are kidding.

10:48-good luck trying to enforce that law--would be a waste of madison taxpayer dollars.

BTW--no amount of gun laws will keep a thug from his piece. the 'communities' that produce thugs have to end the problem...no amount of reason from rankin, madison, or the part of hinds that isn't jackson can do squat to change it--and thats why it isnt going to change. and lets not forget that there are some criminals who aren't from the city of jackson--deadmon-remember him?

-deadmon-remember him?
May not have been from Jackson, but came to crime central to do the deed.
Felt safe here, apparently.

Being armed is not the same thing as being capable in the military arts. Soldiers know a lot more than how to shoot, reload, & clean a firearm. What we need is an organized militia. Armed citizens are not necessarily going to get us to public safety. Having a citizen-based network of protection takes mustering, training, and organization. That is the social benefit of guns not just a variety of guns in the hands of everyone.

1:08 - hey, George Zimmerman, aren't you supposed to be prepping for your trial?

10:28, while that would be great, I think that "probable cause" in Madison means having a tag that doesn't say Madison. I can't count the number of Hinds County tags I've seen pulled over within a couple hundred yards of the Madison exit...

Hey 2:19, that happens going the other way. Try driving a nice car with a Madison County tag into Jackson. JPD loves to pull them over for any- and everything.

Zimmerman was not part of a "well regulated militia". Neighborhood patrols are a half step towards a citizen militia. He got involved in a 'close combat' situation which is a crap shoot and a wrestling match. Militia training means you have the proper level of force and a tactical advantage before you confront the enemy.

Curt - Surely you made an error when you said FOUR million.

Madison BOS and City of Madison have been flooded with calls and emails today in support of banning Hinds County residents from entering Madison between 10pm and 6am. Talks are under way to have board meetings to discuss the issue and possibly bring to a vote. Also churches are banning together to possibly arm members to stand guard to protect those that attend their services.

No he didn't. The Nutty Rifle Association has ONLY 4,000,000 members. LMAO.

They do have money. They don't have widespread support, and times are a comin.

Can't wait.

Last time I checked madison county is full of federal, state, and county roads- all of which are public, no matter where you live. The national guard would be called out to reopen any and all of these roads to the general public. It's just another form of segregation. As far as arming churches-wwjd? Seriously, read the book for yourself- The Lord these churches claim to follow went to a horrific death on a cross. Willingly! And yes, sometimes we are called to die- just ask our military folks!

ummm..... Hey 5:14, according to the NY Times an estimated 40 million households have guns.

Wait in one hand and... well... you get the picture

" What we need is an organized militia. Armed citizens are not necessarily going to get us to public safety. Having a citizen-based network of protection takes mustering, training, and organization."

Google on the "Glock Block" to see recent news stories related to this idea.

And thanks, KF, for printing this. Five days after this happened the church had still not notified parishioners until tonight, after you posted this news, when they sent out an email.

HEY 5:56. The Nutty Rifle Assn has 4 mm members. That is IT. ROFLMFAO.

Crowley's post nor the follow up question mentioned the NRA. Gun ownership, gun interests, those who lobby for firearms and ammunition related concerns...are not limited to members of the NRA. Also a number of senate and house members on the left side of the aisle support gun ownership and are owners themselves and are by no means supporters of or members of the NRA.

Claiming the 4mm members of the NRA is the totality of interest on the subject is like claiming all people 50 and over support or belong to AARP.

The anti-gun loon to whom I referred used the silly term "gun lobby," which is liberalspeak for the NRA. Four million is the approximate number of NRA members, as recently cited by Wayne Lapierre.

Ten times that number lawfully possess firearms. There are millions of gun owners who are fiercely pro-Second Amendment who are not members. I was one of them for years before joining as a lifer.

Meanwhile; Clinton, not Madison, rolls out plans to block access to its city from encroaching Jackson hoodlums. Clarion.

Cool idea 5:11. Aside from being unconstitutional, Jackson could block entry of Madison County residents from 6am to 10pm. Tough to shop at the Renaissance without a paycheck.

6:14--I live in Clinton and have a friend who had a car stolen from a parking lot. Clinton PD had the car in chase down HWY80. According to Clinton PD, the city of Jackson did not give authority for Clinton PD to continue the chase into Jackson--so the car was never recovered nor the thugs brought to justice. Clinton is trying to limit access to a neighborhood from the thugs to give our police at least a chance to catch them before they make it to west jackson

"Jackson - City of Reparations"...."one rich white citizen at a time."

Brilliant idea 8:20
Then the few remaining firms would have one more reason to pack up and move either North or East.

God bless Paula Deen! She may be a " racist" but I bet she's never carjacked anybody!

I am so sick and tired of reading every day, something criminal and stupid done by b,lack thugs. Don't give me the Deadman or whatever his name was crap. This shit is happening two or three times every every every day.
