Jackson Jambalaya

Kennedy: Just stop, close your mouth, and stay home without comment for a while. No sense in digging the hole deeper.

Stokes is a fool, but Bryant is obviously not too fond of black people.

George Wallace is a comedian, right?

Jackson Free Press: crickets

Pretty damning if they won't even defend Stokes. Good to know that JFP has some limits.

January 2 @ 4:25pm

Stokes is an idiot, but Bryant is just pandering to the pro-authoritarian right wingers.

We get it. Your hatred of Phil Bryant is such that you can't call out a buffoon like Stokes without pointing at Phil. Such is the behavior of the left.

With your crack about Phil not being fond of blacks, you sound EXACTLY like Kenny. Congrats, pal. You're just as astute as Councilman Pig Ear Sandwiches

i wish I could say children like Kenny....hope he makes National TV so the world can hear how wonderfully educated and articulate the elected leaders are in Mississippi.not being racist, i hang my head when clowns like Congressman Greg Harper are on TV, embarrassing.

" We get it. Your hatred of Phil Bryant is such that you can't call out a buffoon like Stokes without pointing at Phil. Such is the behavior of the left".

12:12 am /4:25 am did at least " call out" Stokes. I've yet to see anyone defending Stokes on this ... not on the left ...not anyone.

I wish that could have been as true for Trump's outrageous statements, or for McDaniel's crazy claims. Or countless right wing bloggers.

If you assume 12:12am/4:25am is " the left" and assign a label simply because he doesn't admire Gov. Bryant , how are you any different?

Mr. Stokes, you should resign.
You should resign because you have lost all credibility and cannot, therefore, represent your constituents effectively.
Since you get re-elected, it was thought you expressed your constituents anger and frustrations to suit them and had managed to convince them that venting is more important that working with others to improve Ward 3.
You were given the benefit of the doubt for your " hoof and mouth" disease in some quarters. It was assumed you were capable of some acts of kindness and generosity to those in your ward or else why would they continue to support you?
Leadership in and out of Black community, who never respected you but respected your position, co-operated for the sake of your constituents.
You have now made that cooperation impossible.
You have once again, with your inability to think before you speak and need to jump into the limelight, taken a legitimate issue of concern to your constituents and made it all about you so that the concerns of your constituents will never be reasonably discussed.
You have failed them and they deserve someone who won't.

"The people in my ward will be saying bye George Wallace Jr as Phil rides into the sunset."

Really?

I'm going to say that you couldn't find 2 people in his ward that know who George Wallace was.

Y'all just don't realize that all this attention only encourages ____. Or maybe you don't care because ____ gives you an excuse to comment and feel some sense of self-worth. I realize that for KF, this is clickbait that cannot be passed up. And that's fine. I'll wait for the next round of jackassery to contribute my page views. This is my last click on a ____ post and it will be my only comment on ____'s antics. Moving on....

Can anyone find out how the two people who were assaulted by Stokes' constituent that caused all of this? I understand they were drug 4 parking spaces in the Walmart parking lot in Richland. Kingfish, will you be able to find out if they are ok?

Thanks for sparing us @8:19 AM. You add very little anyways. No need to announce when you decide to return. Nobody cares.

One thing Stokes was right about. When there was a white mayor, white city council, and white chief of police there wasn't any chases from cops in other cities into Jackson. Stokes just as usual didn't follow up on that. At that time the crooks were arrested and put into jail. When more citizens turned to a life of crime they naturally elected someone who was more protective of criminals. Now we see a black mayor, majority black city council, and a black chief of police. Crime has blossomed. If a criminal is ever arrested he is allowed back on the street the next day.
Stokes might also look at the streets, water department, and other city offices and see what happened when the all black elected officials took over.

Kenneth Stokes - what a fine example for a representative and ambassador for the City of Jackson. I'm sure that his attitude and comments engender a desire for people and businesses to stay or locate in the City of Jackson.

Regardless of the satire, like it or not, Stokes is the "reality" that the rest of the world sees in the media as representative of Jackson leadership. Mayor Yarber has failed to publicly, straightforwardly condemn Stokes. Nor have we heard from the Mississippi Senator or Congressman for Stokes' district. What does that lead the public to believe about the other Jackson area political leaders' "acceptance and approval" of Stokes' comments and attitudes? If I owned or operated a business in Jackson, I would be livid over the failure of the Jackson leadership.

It is time for the metro area and state to stop enabling Jackson's dysfunction. Jackson can't have it both ways. Jackson can't ask for support and help while an elected leader in Jackson is openly advocating for violent attacks on law enforcement officers in order to create a safe haven for Jackson based criminals doing harm to their neighbors. No more free passes. Kenneth Stokes must resign.

Although an ignoramus, Kenneth Stokes is probably the most loyal politician in America to his constituency. He tells them what they want to hear and does his best to fulfill their every wish.

Does he do so with their best interests in mind. No. Is he a racist. Yes. But he still does his best to cater to their every whim.

Stokes is as bad as Donald Trump.

This is a line from the movie the Professionals with Lee Marvin and Burt Lancaster. I've taken the liberty to change some things like names and allow me some license.

The black councilman calls a local sheriff a "dumb bastard." Maybe the sheriff should have replied, but "You sir are a self-made man."

Charges? Charges on what grounds?

I guess we'll have to wait & find out.

Between 09:00 and 10:00 am this morning 1/4/16, My wife witnessed JPD pursuing a fleeing suspect into the city of Clinton on Northside Dr. WTF.

2:35 PM, that is different. It was Jackson going into another city. That is alright with Stokes and the rest of the clan. The cops know a car leaving Jackson going to another city may have some money they can take, especially if the tag is not a Hinds county tag.
People need to get with the program. Jackson cops going into another city=GOOD, other city cops coming into Jackson=BAD.

NEVER thought I'd agree with KIS, but yes, absolutely and unequivocally so, Bryant is akin to George "segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever" Wallace and Tucker and Bailey are both bullies with badges.

Phil Bryant's degree from USM must be legacy based, like George W's from Yale, as he is undoubtedly one of the most uniquely imbecilic and enept governors ever.

Unless Tucker is chasing Hogmaw Barbour from a B-Snow visit or Bailey is behind Doofus Phil Bryant leaving Brandon enroute to the governor's mansion in Jackson, there should be no pursuit of criminals into the city of Jackson!

Is that your best shot @9:30 PM. ROFLMAO That is your best shot?

"Stokes Uncut"? Where but Jackson Jambalaya could we expect to find a circumcision thread.

There is a reason why JJ is #1.

9:30; Ricky, is that you? I thought you were retiring from politics. Can't disguise that smarmy Colonel Sanders mush-mouth.

Stokes, please quit trying to ape to Farrakhan.
You are not as polished as louie.

If you’re reading Kenny, just a couple of tips:

Don’t wipe your face & head so much. Slow down with the washcloth.

You allow little girls (not too long out of Journalism school) to get the best of you. Come on man, I thought you were stronger than that ?

A bonafide attorney would never loose his cool when asked an uncomfortable question.

Think of Ed & Barbara Blackmon.

I’ve never heard them loose their cool and scream “Yo Mama” when confronted with a difficult interview.

Stokes . . . for the Love of Fondren . . . shut up !

This up is a disgrace Why isn't anyone removing him from office?

11:42; The only people able to 'remove him from office' are actually KEEPING him in office when they waddle into the polling place every four years.

Every village has to have their idiot. Jackson is a little bigger than a village so they have to have a bigger idiot.

RELAX! Stokes has resigned and has been hired by Rudy Warnock to test bridge load-limits in Scott County. All well that ends well.

Donald Trump has said way more outlandish and racist garbage than Kenny Stokes ever has, but yet he is the Republican front runner. This blog is filled with tons of stereotypic racist garbage geared toward African Americans and Latinos, and nobody is calling for JJ to shut it down. (JJ, I'm not saying you are racist, just most of your followers seem to not like people of color and definitely wouldn't want any living in their neighborhoods.) But the fact is, lots of people agree with all this hatred and discontent. Humanity has gone to hell.

Hate to admit it but I am beginning to agree with some of what Stokes is saying.
There isn't anyone in the state of Ms. that can or will stand up to Stokes. He is able to say and do just about anything he decides to do.
