Jackson Jambalaya

Very interesting....yet again for Hinds County. Back on the streets to terrorize. When can we get some accountability in Jackson with setting bonds for these violent criminals? Those individuals obviously pose a threat to society and should have had a very high bond or better yet no bond.

Note to this kid: Crossing the river and committing a crime in Rankin County was not a good idea.

There will be no Get Out Of Jail Free card, you will not pass GO, and you will not collect $200.

It's been said on here that crime does not spread from Jackson to the burbs--With all the Jacktown thugs carjacking and shooting it up in Madison and Flowood--it's happening. People always say criminals are afraid to commit crimes in Rankin and Madison counties. Reality check- many thugs don't think about that. They just go where there's shopping and nice cars- and that's not jackson anymore

Who was the Hinds County Judge that turned him loose?

Love the video.
"You may not be able to be an attorney."

What about the victim here? Another bleeding-heart judge who allowed this POS to get out and DO IT AGAIN!

Can we hold this idiot on the bench at least partially accountable?

Yep. Its been said 1,000 times on here that a healthy Jackson means vibrant suburbs and visa versa. The haters disagree vehemently and get proven wrong time and time again. The crap will spread north south east and west unless something happens to stop it. These thugs have no boundaries and there is no fence around Jackson keeping them inside. Seems like there has been more of this lately in the burbs too.

I will be interested to see the research on this. One judge denies him bond. And yet he was out on bond anyway?

In re: 8:33AM...

I do believe a majority of the folks on here are in agreement with the statement, "a healthy Jackson means vibrant suburbs and visa versa." While it includes the goobs in Fondren, the discussions primarily focus on the corruption and dysfunctional public systems that need to be looked at under a microscope.

Just want to make sure the state was focused in this vein and not equating to "haters"?

Could not agree more with 9:11. We must get a clear picture of where the system is breaking down. JPD arrests these offenders over and over. Is it City Court that lets them out on low bond? Is it County Court? Who is not prosecuting in a timely manner? Which judges allow delay after delay in hearing cases. This does not need to be done in narrative; it must be done in clear charts, with easy to compare columns.

I would consider agreeing with 9:11 but his post doesn't make any sense. Please tell me what this is supposed to mean: "Just want to make sure the state was focused in this vein and not equating to haters". It was even followed by a question mark. And what the hell has this got to do with Fondren?

This criminal will serve time for this crime. Who knows what would have happened to him in Hinds county. Now that he has committed a violent crime in Rankin county, he is headed to prison. There is a big difference in these two counties.

these are two serious crimes we know about, can we assume he committed many more? YES! Maybe Hinds cannot handle the load financially and politically of so much crime?

As a retired LEO that grew up in south Jackson back in the 70’s, I can assure you things have changed. JPD was once the elite LE agency in this area and being accepted as part of that organization was a privilege, not anymore.

I was victimized by a two Jackson teens two years ago. Having a gun stuck in your face while seated in a vehicle leaves you in a very vulnerable position, especially when the gun is cocked and the young man’s hand is shaking. Even though I had a fully loaded Glock 9mm under my right thigh, the situation called for compliance, not confrontation. The first opportunity for self-defense came when they stepped back to run. Unfortunately, the first and only sight picture I had was of their backs and so, no shots were fired. Imagine the headlines…..

I contacted JPD and officers were on scene within five or so minutes. I knew immediately they had no idea what they were doing. I directed them to an area on my car door where one of the offenders had placed his hand. Fingerprint comparisons, what a novel police investigative tool. Well, not so much in Jackson anymore but it solved the Flowood case, did it not?

Later that same day, American Express called and gave me the location of a gas station where someone attempted to use my credit card, within minutes of the robbery. I called the storeowner myself to verify he had the car and people involved on videotape, he did. Now, not wanting to taint the prosecution, I contacted JPD and was able to determine that Detective Wells had been assigned my case. I spoke with and gave him all the information regarding the store and video that was being preserved for him.

Well, that was two years ago, December 20, 2012 and to this day, no follow up by Detective Wells, not even a phone call. No fingerprinting, no photos to review, no video to view and obviously, no arrests! It’s what we in the business call, a suspended case. Take my advise, if you find yourself in Jackson, be very careful, know your surroundings and if you can, always back up to a building so nobody can sneak up on you from your blind side. You will have to take care of yourself because JPD is not what it once was, before or after a crime is committed!

I think I figured out what happened but before I write the post I need one more document and one piece of information. Sit tight for a couple of days. Holidays closed everything down.
