Looks like a nice dude, lets give him a break, it's the banks money, who cares?
Isn't that Odell Beckham?
getting real cold. 3 hots and a cot become relatively attractive if your world accepts such as the norm. These poor folks got the time to lose.
JPD must be mistaken. No crime ever happens in downtown Jackson. It is the safest place on the planet.
bubblegum stolen from Pearl-not robbery
Meanwhile . . . a few blocks away, a man is shot during a "car-jacking" near the intersection of Amite and Mill Streets.

Probably holed up in Jabba the Hutt's ward, safe from all law enforcement. Maybe even in Jabba's house.

Do you know what time that car jacking occurred? I wonder if those were the four gun shots I heard Friday, downtown during lunch.
10:19 am The carjacking is unrelated.
Crime is bad but at least our criminal population is uneducated and generally dumber than posts for the most part. The smarter criminals go into business or politics!
Each and every one of these previous comments are not humorous in the least and are ignorant at best.
Friday during lunch I heard four gunshots in downtown Jackson. its past time to move the capital to somewhere the public employees are safe.
10:08, I thought they were funny. You have to admit the city council and the police dept are sort of funny. They need to hire Barney Fife. From the sounds of it they have already hired too many Barneys.
11:11, I agree. Time to move the capital. At least move it to a city with indoor plumbing.

You're in the wrong room.
This particular episodes makes me sad. I did see the robber about an hour or so before the time the bank was robbed. He was walking on Capitol, took a seat on the bench across the street for about 5 minutes or so and then got up and kept walking.
I did not feel threatened and he did not look like he was going to rob the bank. I did think it was odd to have a few minutes of leisure time to sit when it was so cold though.
Makes me think he was weighing his options... like maybe whatever drove him to do this was more worrisome than the thought of jail...he clearly could have used a few pointers beforehand...
This morning a woman was kidnapped and shot in Fondren. How many more is it going to take before good people stop needlessly putting their lives at risk?
10:30, As long as people keep going to Jackson the crimes will continue.
As long as the city of Jackson has the same leaders or leaders of the same quality, the crimes will continue.
As long as Jackson is a safe haven for criminals the crimes will continue.
As long as the majority of Jackson citizens are criminals or covering up for criminals the crimes will continue.
For the crimes to stop the people will have to decide they want the crimes to stop. The people of Jackson has not decided to do that and it looks unlikely that it will happen.
