Jackson Jambalaya

Probably connected to the break-ins in the Winchester & Wilhurst areas also. Intruders coming in through the back door in the middle of the day.

Terminate with extreme prejudice.

If I saw that person in my backyard, I assume he was armed, locked, and loaded.

That MY boy! He might shootchu but he don't break in no house.

I grew up during the 60's &70's 2 houses away from here. This is my one of my childhood girlfriends house and can safely say that they drove right up to the end of the drive, came through the back gate like they lived there and took what they thought was rightfully theirs while in plain sight. People,if your lucky enough to witness this, please do us all a favor and give them what is rightfully theirs.....square between the eyes.

If that individual shows up uninvited at your back door feel free to shoot dead. F'ck you Kaze.

It should be fairly easy to figure height. He is skinny and wears big shoes.... I wish they would release enhanced photos for all these incidents. When I enlarge the image, the shoes blur out, but I believe they are not standard issue.

One thing I've noticed...these brothers make sure they have a well groomed lid when robbing, carjacking and killing folks.

Folks love to comment about shooting thugs like this, and I'm all for it, but how's that going to happen when we're all at work? These thieves know 70%+ houses are left unattended for most of the day, while many of the occupied homes are armed with merely granny and cane. What's a sustainable, proactive approach? Because having a firearm next to the bed at night is just something else to be stolen at 9:30 the next morning.

7:22--I keep my firearms in a secure safe while away. The one I keep by my bed is the one I keep on my person.

7:22 -- Have a true security force in place (e.g. off duty policeman who can carry a weapon and arrest a suspect) would be a good start in the NE Jackson neighborhoods. Currently, security is non-existent, with "feel good" employment for people who drive around in older model cars, sit on the corner, and make reports AFTER the fact. Sad -- but those in NE Jackson when offered this option -- would not step up to the plate and pay for it. I promise -- the affect of a couple of detainments, arrest, and convictions, because of the "show of force" would trump the costs long range, but I"m afraid my neighbors have not yet had enough violence in their neighborhood to "wake up".

"What's a sustainable, proactive approach?"

Move to a different part of the metro area that won't nurture this type of behavior.

Despite your heartburn are you subscribing to the security service in your neighborhood 8:00 AM?

8:00 is right. The neighborhood could resolve this. I'm sure there are plenty of hinds county deputies that would love the side work. Would be even better if Brotha Tyrone would let them use a county vehicle. The neighborhood is just going to have to form up the money or lose property values.

7:22, most law enforcement will tell you there is no substitute for a big dog that barks.

8:56 -- Yep I am.

@9:21 - Except that several break-ins have incidents including shooting the dogs.

My neighbor and I both got hit yesterday while at work. Kicked in the front doors and only stole jewelry. Left the electronics, etc. South Park Drive by CCC. Quick response by JPD but not much they can do.

Just wondering if alarm systems were involved in any of these burglaries. We keep our alarm on at all times, but I wonder how much they help.

As the Chief of ANY police agency I would be embarrased that homeowners have to hire private security to patrol their neighborhoods. I would get on some asses and have my patrol units, traffic units, detectives and even the damn meter maids out rolling in these neighborhoods. Good proactive, agressive cops can put a stop to this. Random break ins occur but widespread burglaries clustered in an area can be prevented.

And yes I am a cop.

I am just so sick and tired of these young men stealing and carjacking. And it's getting worse.

Ditto, 11:54 AM

nothing will absolutely prevent your home from being broken into. however, if you make it inconvenient, most criminals will seek an easier target. someone mentioned dogs above, and that is true, a dog that barks, doesn't have to be a huge dog just a loud one, combined with lights and loud alarms are the best defense. my home is in a somewhat secluded neighborhood and I work out of town Monday thru Friday, and my lights and a neighbor's loud dogs are there during the week and in four years I've had no problems.

Well, the now-famous Shronda recently informed us that all the cops up in South Jackson knew her son, and that he was known for House Burglary. He was KNOWN, and yet there he was, running around allegedly robbing (and not shooting no gun), apparently for YEARS. Jackson Police KNOWING about an active criminal does not seem to be much of an impediment to the criminal.

This tells me that there is a food chain in place (with crime victims being the Plankton), and that Jacktown PoPo pretty much know to leave the LITTLE FISH alone, until those Little Fish finally kill somebody.

Little Fish like PATIO BOY, here, are a key link in the Jacktown Food Chain. Without their activities, there would be less money for buying drugs, bribing "authorities", hiring lawyers... The whole Jacktown Economy might collapse, if PATIO BOY were caught, and effectively dealt-with.

And really, folks... from the looks of the patio, the occupants of that home in Floodplainwood don't have any money for security patrols or alarm systems. I'd imagine they're barely getting-by. They may have wondered about whether they should consider eating dogfood (as some Jackson elderly have done). So expecting them to "get a dog" may also be unrealistic. Plenty of working poor (the honest ones) and retirees, are barely able to feed themselves.

Is that the same block where that toddler drowned in the backyard pool a few years back?

Those of you who are worried should invite your local to analyze your home's security. It is part of Neighborhood Watch.

I did this in a large city with high crime and secured an older home's doors and windows and secured those areas hidden from street view.

I also engraved everything that could be engraved where it was not obvious so it could be evidence.

I did this for my elderly family members as well.

While their neighbors and mine were robbed, our homes were not. Incidentally, two relatives lived in very small, rural communities where suburbia was developing. With new builds, crime tends to go up and more than a few of the people working on the house learned their trade in prisons!

I also took the same measures in Madison County several years ago and again, was the ONLY house on my street that wasn't robbed one summer as new houses were being built.

While it's too bad that we have to think about crime, that's the reality. And, when your population grows, crime grows exponentially whether you want to believe that or not!

Believing location makes you secure and immune is wishful thinking!

The days of leaving doors unlocked so neighbors can borrow the sugar are over!

Kill that MF

Blah blah blah. Same $#|+ different day.
