Jackson Jambalaya

I am shocked! Shocked, I say!

(If you know what I mean and I believe that you do)

Any wagers as to their city of residence?

It's low when you rob someone. It's beyond low when you use children to do it.

I thought criminals from Jackson didn't steal anywhere else than Jackson. I have been told on here that that does not happen. Huh? It's like we are all in this issue together-just like everything else.

These are pretty damned clear video clips. It also appears that the male employee should have seen what was going on if he had been half-way attentive.

What are the chances the thieves will return the merchandise wanting cash and claiming they lost the receipt?

I imagine the profiling by Flowood Police of Hinds county tags will be stepped up.

Kind of surprised the cabinet was unlocked to be honest.

That "lady" in red is a drag queen.

Anytime Jacksonian's go for an "outing" this is the proven stereotype that appears, a family stealing together. And you wonder why nobody wants them as neighbors?

Now imagine you are a store owner. A young woman comes in yapping on the phone, never looks at anything, and just wanders around and then sits down. Can you see the red flags starting to arise in the store owner's mind?

Sure can. Protect your property at-all-costs. Innocent until proven guilty. Suspect, treat and assume that anyone coming in the door will steal/rob and treat them as such. Anyone who thinks otherwise is living in a dream world.

I see taxes in Flowood going up because of this RACE who comes over from Jackson and causing the city of Flowood to increase patrols! Look, a business is already struggling every day due to the economy and government regulations and now some are forced to contend with additional losses due to shop lifting. So some will say to hire security guards. Could you absorb the cost of a security guard? Can the citizens and businesses in Flowood take a raise in taxes to cover more police?

I say put a fence around Jackson and let the rats kill each other!!!

The store employee was standing maybe five feet away from both children as they rifled the case, then the adult leans over to steal. How could the employee NOT see that? Or at least be curious enough to glance over and investigate?

11:57AM: Only if the fence keeps all the rednecks from coming into Jackson.

Perhaps the store employee in the video was concerned about the safety of the others in the store and himself, should he say anything. We all know they probably had a handgun on them and I'm sure 3-4 phones are not worth a life.

Sometimes, I think the people of Mississippi deserve better than to be fiftieth out of fifty in every desirable category. Then I read threads like this one and immediately see otherwise.

1) These people are no more a reflection of black people than Daryl Dedmon is a reflection of Rankin County.

2) You do not know these people are from Jackson. The mere fact that they are black is not enough. Mississippi is almost 40% black, and some black families have inhabited Rankin County for generations.

3) Flowood's problems cannot be boiled down to black people. (looking at you, 11:57).

4) If you disdain black people so much, please vote with your feet and move out of the blackest state in the nation. North Dakota might be far enough.

5) It's 2015, please move on.

Taxes in Flowood may very well rise. Not a problem as it will keep out those who don't belong. Outsiders will always have their hundred dollar bills on pay day and will gladly spend their EBT monies and other checks in clean stores. If they don't, it's less crime to worry about. Someone mentioned that Flowood would be profiling Hinds County plates and probably other plates, too. Didn't it occur that that's what they're hired for? Plus they don't hit a foot when they shoot. Makes me all warm and fuzzy inside.

1:43 DEAL!!!

2:00,

The comment threads here are filled with trolls, hoping to elicit a response and counter-response. The next thing you know, there are 50+ comments having nothing to do with stolen iphones.

On that same note, the current year has nothing to do with stolen iphones. Maybe another subject at hand, such as "Why do people still steal in 2015?". That would be one to expound upon.

The employees were probably trained not to interfere, particularly with this large of group. Bank employees are trained to hand over the money. Not worth a life or lives. Besides, they would be out of jail in a few hours anyway and in Hinds County, nothing would happen to the perpetrators. Those saying they are from Jackson could be wrong. Criminals live everywhere, though there is a larger percentage of them in Jackson than anywhere else around here.

One thing is for sure, that was not that little boys first rodeo. A skilled accomplice. And we wonder why our schools are failing.

At least one of those girls is a tranny "escort" from ATL who advertises for hook-ups on backpage.

I can't believe some of you stupid idiots are suggesting the employee knew it was going on but kept conducting business as usual because the family was large and it could be like a bank robbery in progress, so for the sake of safety, he ignored the robbery.

How do people get as damned stupid as you?

I've said for years that Rankin County is just not safe

Note to self:

Remember to lock the display cases while unattended.

I'm just glad these Rankin County thieves aren't operating in Jackson.

The tech was probably concentrating on fixing the phone he was examining. I'm sure he will lock the door from now on.

they need to stop the bleeding over into rankin county on Lakeland and coming over the Rez it's getting worse. in the past 6 months it's gotten real bad we need MUCH more police enforcement

There's nothing of value left to steal in Jackson.

Select areas in Madison & Rankin Counties are the next obvious soft targets.


Either lock & load or get used to this animal behavior.

Damned Flag!

If there are arrests from the video, hope KF will follow up as we'd all really like to see these perps arrested at the very least.

This has nothing to do with entitlement or culture. People have been stealing and doing crime as long as man has been on earth and it will continue.
