JPD told JJ that three juveniles were arrested for malicious mischief. The three yewts are accused of throwing bricks at cars passing under the McRaven Road overpass on I-20. JPD reported that several cars were struck by the bricks. There is at least one known case where a brick struck a car in the windshield. The yewts hit at least 11 cars with the bricks. They reside at the Woodlands Apartments. Here is one picture and message that a victim posted on Facebook:
I would just like to thank Kenneth Stokes for his stupid mouth!! On I-20 coming home from work 3 young people were seen throwing bricks onto cars and trucks busting windshields. Several cars, an 18 wheeler and my truck was hit. I wish I knew Stokes mailing address, I would send him the bill when I get it fixed!! He should have to pay for all this damage hid mouth has caused!!!
Here is a pic and message sent to WLBT's Facebook from another victim:
Thanks Mr. Stokes for telling people to throw rocks cause we just got it on the interstate along with about 12 others.
Wonderful. Just wonderful.

Good job jpd.
I hate this happened. But maybe it will get Stokes put in jail for leading the rock throwers
Serious question-
If this type of thing starts happening often in the city limits of Jackson, is it going to make our car insurance rates go up?
If someone had been killed as a result of this, could they have all three been charged with murder?
feral yewts. not surprising.
We wish he would be removed forever. He sets such a bad example for our young people who are so vulnerable.....not to mention the elderly.
The animals that stokes protects are busy following their leader. Another red letter day for Stokesville. #boycottjackson
Well it seems the youts have better aim than the adults. Never have understood how a grown punk could unload a semi auto pistol and not hit the backside of a barn.
Way to go Kennuf!
I hope Stokesy gets hit with all manner of civil suits.
@6:10, yes to your first question. No on your second. (It would be manslaughter.)
The failure of state and local government to charge Stokes criminally speaks volumes, it's pathetic.
No one is going to charge Stokes for anything. Talk is cheap and Stokes knows it. Don't expect anyone in Jackson to do anything because they agree with him. Don't expect anyone not in Jackson to do anything as they are all talk.
@8:54pm: no, WE don't agree with Stokes. He's an ass! Our ward did not vote for him or support him! It's not fair to be lumped in! I live in Jackson and don't plan to leave because I still see hope. I feel horrible that he is on the city council. But, WE didn't do it!
KF, Where is that overpass? My map shows both north and south McRaven running from Springridge to Maddox roads.
Yep, I, like everyone else have seen the rapid movement to charge Stokes with at least picking his nose in public. Not only is Stokes a disgrace, something I think he takes pride in being, but so are our other elected officials who immediately jumped on this, called for an investigation and so far nothing that I know has come out.
Nothing that you know of? What do you EXPECT to know when an investigation is ongoing? Let me answer for you. NOTHING! You can bet your ass that more than a few sheriffs and chiefs of police have asked the attorney general's opinion and have requested an investigation and charges if the law warrants that.
While YOU may not, I applaud the elected officials 'who immediately jumped on this, called for an investigation'.
Stokes is black, some may have noticed. He can say and do just about anything he wants. The majority of Jackson is black, some may have noticed. They will support Stokes no matter what he does or says.
It is arguable that Stokes spoke in an official capacity. So, possibly, those whose cars were hit should be suing the fine City of Jackson?
Stokes on 1300 AM this morning denying that he encouraged people to throw rocks, bricks etc at police. Claiming only part of his rant was publicized. Guess he is backtracking now that some young kids decided to follow his suggestion and his judicial wife told him something about the law (that he evidently failed to learn while at Thurgood Marshall Law School).
Everybody here should follow KF's suggestion that readers start listening to black radio in Jackson and see how the leadership of our city really feels about life. The words spoken there would put any white person under federal DOJ investigation immediately for their racist attitudes.
This is now so far beyond issuing statement's. This is something that requires an actionable response by this who are paid to do their job!
10:41, Shut up Kenny,....Shite just got real for you!
I will believe it when I see it. Lots of talk going on but no action at all. What happened to the people who were going to do something about this? All I hear is crickets now that the bricks have been thrown. Doesn't saw much for our govt. Sure doesn't say much for the people in Jackson.
I think we should do like they did in escape from New York and turn Jackson into a walled prison. Even Snake Bliskin wouldnt go in there.
9:19, 8:41 here. Please to tell me and all here where you have heard the question asked as to what is going on with Stokes, regardless of the fact that the question couldn't be answered because of an ongoing investigation?
"Everybody Must Get Stoned".....
It's really quite simple. The boys that throw bottles and bricks (and the adults who will later do the same) have taken a page from the 'Book Of Kenneth Stokes'. Just as surely as Stokes has taken a page from the 'Book Of Farrakhan' and a page from the 'Book Of Jesse' and a page from the 'Book Of Al' and a page from the 'Book Of Barack'. In each case I think it's called hero worship.
We all tend to quote and, in some way, emulate our heroes. And when our heroes call us to action, we act.
Only the stupid would pick heroes from that line up. There must be a shortage of heroes, or a serious lack of education.
Yewts have been doing stuff like this since there were cars and overpasses. Can't begin to remember how many such stories I've seen over the years and, yes, as a yewt I even tossed a few rocks off a railroad overpass before I realized how stupid and dangerous it was. Not defending the idiot, but this has nothing to do with KIS.
3:35, how do you know it wasn't because of what kennuf said?
4:21pm...how do you know it was?
Pick any given year of incident reports and/or arrests of people throwing bricks off of an over pass in Jackson/Hinds County
Then pick any given year where a person in a leadership position encouraged such activity.
Then come back to this particular articulate incident and tell us all how many bricks were thrown compared to the last 5 years and how many days had passed after KIS went on public record to encourage this activity.
Odds are that Kenneth Stokes' recent inflammatory & inciting words did give these boys the stupid idea to toss bricks at cars. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid....and VERY dangerous. Thankfully no one was injured.
Hopefully the judge will read the riot act to these juvies and that some kind of restitution will be required of them. What about compensatory damages, KF? How does that work in juvenile court?
If any of the victims are serious about wanting Stokes' address, they (pob & street) were easy for me to find online.
8:05, why would anyone want Stokes' address? He has the backing of the entire capital city. Better think twice before biting off more than you can chew.
2:32,
The only reason I mentioned Stokes' address is because one of the victims wrote "I wish I knew Stokes mailing address, I would send him the bill when I get it fixed!! He should have to pay for all this damage hid (sic) mouth has caused!!!"
4;20, Stokes does not even pay his own bills. Remember the bus company that has been trying to get it's money from him? What makes you think he would pay a bill from another person, especially one who got what they deserved for driving on Jackson's highway?
This is 4:20. Didn't say anything about thinking Stokes would pay or acknowledge in any way a damage bill sent to him by a victim. Just said his addresses were easy enough to find. No more. No less.
