Jackson Jambalaya

This pisses me off and I don't even know where the place is. The very gall of hoodlums to come back to hit the same place after shooting a woman and killing a dog! Makes me want to lay in waiting and blow some M-F to kingdom come.

live in belhaven. wife left around 530 the other morning to workout. she reported a black male walking thru yards with a large bag. dispatcher assured her that it was our neighbor walking to work. when she turned on the scanner, the dispatcher called out the wrong address and insinuated that she was calling about a black male and not the fact that she was suspicious because of his belongings/clothing/path etc.

Anyone else had this happen??

Once Whole Foods opens all of this will change. Crime in Jackson will be a thing of the past and property values will skyrocket. 25,000 people will move into downtown's mixed-use nirvana while the Eagles and Alan Jackson and Tori Amos make regular concert stops here between gigs in Little Rock and New Orleans, Dallas and Atlanta. Creatives from throughout the Southeast will call Jackson "cool", the "new" Austin and shout to the world that "Jackson gets it". Best of all Mississippi won't lose another Congressional seat because Richard Florida convinced our natives to stay, live and party in the state, especially on Farish Street. And it will all be because of Whole Foods.

NOW we are talking!

A car burglary suspect was shot five times by a homeowner who discovered the 20-year-old man breaking into the homeowner's vehicle, WLBT reports.

According to Officer Colendula Green with the Jackson Police Department, the incident occurred Friday morning at 5:55 a.m. at 1736 Tanglewood Cove in the Lakeover subdivision.

Anyone who thinks that racism is not alive and well in the State of Mississippi could read this thread, and that would get them out from under that rock they have been living in. Reporting yet another crime rather than pointing out the positive things in Jackson, like Whole Foods, is racist.

Also, it's racist to make jokes about Chokwe Lumumba and to point out his past statements, none of which are racist because they weren't said by a racist Pisgah-based trailer park racist redneck. Then there's the history of racism in Mississippi and racism in the racist racism. Racism is so racism when the racism racisms the racism, that you racism the racism for racism racism.

Racism racism your racism, or racism racism racism racism.

There is no crime in Belhaven. You must be mistaken and paranoid. The dispatcher just so happens to know all your neighbors and their work schedules.

"WLBT also reported that Hinds County Sheriff Tyrone Lewis, who lives in the neighborhood, was also the victim of a auto burglary. Lewis said nothing was taken because he leaves nothing of value in his car."

Screw you Tyrone. The issue isn't whether or not you left anything of value in your car. Numbskull Sheriff.

This didn't happen. It's merely perception. Just like the man who perceived that his wife saw a black man walking in his front yard. It's just a perception. She was merely manifesting her white racism.

The man who was killed last week on Livingston is actually a suicide. He just perceived the murder and convinced himself he was dying. The reality is that Jackson is a crime-free, Whole Foods supplied paradise. If you racists would stop inventing drama and perceiving crime, we could all walk the streets drinking craft beer, listening to hip bands and reading the JFP in harmony!

I love Jackson for the many festivals, the family-like atmosphere, the new Whole Foods, the myriad museums, the solidly constructed houses...

I'm sure this question has been asked and answered by now (so apologies in advance if I have missed the response): does this house have an alarm system that is active?

1:09 gears up to blame the victim.

I'm no expert or anything, but I'm just guessing that the latest thugs don't follow the local news too much and didn't know the house was recently burglarized. Maybe we should start a new program to help keep thugs up to date on current events. Let's start with a billboard about the unfortunate car burglar.

Anyone who lives in Jackson without an alarm system is a fool. Anyone who doesn't get one installed after a break-in only to have another happen two weeks later is a dumbass.

Please don't move though. You're all that's left. Once the remaining few flee, the crooks will have to look further for houses to rob rather than just walk across the street.

12:56 Lewis is powerless and inept.

He comes from the school of Democratic political misdirection that tries to brainwash Jacksonians and Hinds Countians that if one does everything possible to minimize their losses (i.e. nothing of value in the car) that "nuisance" property crimes can somehow, inexplicably, be tolerated.

Hinds County voters elected an empty suit who keeps Othor Cain around as a Yes-man sidekick.

What the hell are they after in this house??

Typical of the JJ crowd to focus on the TWO days this month that the house was perceived to have been burglarized.

Nobody mentions the DOZENS of days on which the house WASN'T burglarized, when its inhabitants were free to bask in the beautiful sunset reminiscing about the many festivals they attended and craft beers they drank.

Because that wouldn't fit with your racist suburbanist agenda, would it?

This is 1:09 again...(actually had to do some work so I'm late in responding).

Not blaming anyone but I own two homes in Jackson....live in one, rent one. Both alarmed to the teeth. Four vehicles........two nice ones (alarmed) and two not so nice that not even a thug would steal.

I can't imagine anyone living and trying to sleep in Jackson without their property alarmed up. It will not keep the thugs from breaking in though it should limit the amount of time they stay inside and may alert a neighbor.

1:09's question was legit. You may break into my house ONCE but I guarantee you won't break in a second time. I can't imagine the property owner not taking proper precautions to prevent or deter future break-ins. It makes you wonder what the thieves saw in the house the first time--did they come back for stuff they weren't able to get the first time? Also people at Northminster spotted a suspicious truck in the driveway Thurs and reported it. The question is: did JPD follow up on it?

To be fair, I assume the guy casing houses with the bag was probably working with Tom Head in a new "Destroy the White Male Patriarchy" outreach.

The sad thing is that we are all so small minded to think this is a Jackson issue. The rest of the country views our whole state like we view Jackson. If its this bad, we might really should move to Texas, not Madison county. You don't think they'll cross county lines once there's nothing to steal in Jackson?

Please, Libertarian. Tom Head is even more irrelevant than Ladd (if such a thing is possible).

You don't think they'll cross county lines once there's nothing to steal in Jackson?

Contagion theory. Fallacy.

You know that poor burglar is only trying to make some money to feed his family. Times are hard, them rich folks over in East Over have way too much. Next time you see a burglar in your house go up to him, and give him a hug. He is human just like the rest of us.

There is always something to steal. If crime moved to the suburbs, Grosse Point would have been ransacked years ago as Detroit dried up economically.

What actually happened? Grosse Point is just fine, but crime went up even more in Detroit. Police were stretched so thin that it became easier and easier to rob people, sell drugs, etc.

As long as the federal transfer payments keep coming in, poor inner cities will always have enough to steal and will remain crime sponges.

So on behalf of Madison, thanks!

I have an odd theory that just might work. Could it be that the occurrence of crime in Jackson is actually the creation of Leland Speed and Ben Allen (and the goofball in green clothing) whose very relevance revolves around perpetuating these discussions? So, to conclude, we have race baiters like Sharpton and Jackson who keep ginning up racial crap in order to maintain their standard of living. And, likewise, we have a guy named Allen Speed who would vanish into irrelevance without the Jackson Boogey-Man.

The homeowner robbed a second time thinks the alarm malfunctioned during the second robbery. It had to be the same thugs as the first. And sounds like the same MO of the home broken into twice over the July 4 weekend at corner of Old Cantin and Crane. But let's all calm down and Trust Jackson!

Reparations - One white citizen at a time.

Creative Millenial Barista had me laughing until I cried. Someone is f***ing hilarious!

WLBT reported it as well.

11:41. Liar. YOU are CMB talking to yourself.

Thanks to all my supporters. It is predictable that racists like 8:42 would gin up a conspiracy theory whenever more than one person stands up for freelance wealth redistributors in our community.

It's time JPD and Hinds S O get off their lazy asses and do something. It's ok if a black man shots a black thief...but God forbid if a white man tries to protect himself........shoot enough of the thieves and pretty soon they have to stop, through attrition. Or is that racist?

When will the discussion be that there is no such thing in our area as white on black crime? It is 100% black on white and black on black. It is sad that 95% of crime in the metro area is caused by the African American population. Just bc you live in the suburbs does not mean it is not heading your way. Canton is slowing coming down on Madison as well as Tougaloo. Rankin might be the safest place to live bc once you get past Castlewoods there is nothing! The problem is people who think they are either better than or smarter than others bc they decide to live in the suburbs. The suburbs are far superior when it comes to public schools but the best schools in this entire town are mostly in Jackson minus St. Andrews. The people with the most money....happen to live in Eastover.
