Very unique appearance for South Jackson
It will be like looking for a piece of salt in the pepper shaker
I'm surprised they were able to shoot out the tires with anything less than a high powered rifle. Cool.
If he jacks another vehicle he needs to drive as fast as he can right into Jackson's Ward 3 evading criminal sanctuary zone.
Too funny! LMAO ... Jacktown!
Let the dogs out. Woof! Woof!
Wonder if Stokes will break out the bottles, bricks, and rocks?
Seriously, some areas in Jackson is likened to a broken sewer line. Crap just continues to seep out. Time for new pipes and a new plumber.
Obviously a hatchet got him on the top of his skull. Kirksey will get him off with an IQ challenge based on blunt-object assault.
Best hiding spot since Charles Evans hunkered down in the parking lot at MetroCenter.
Have any of you ever been to south Jackson? I live in south Jackson, and there are lots of white families living in my subdivison. We're all just regular middle-classed working citizens who enjoy our neat, close knit, and diverse neighborhood. I know there are some people who will hate to hear this, but not all white people are prejudiced haters and not all black people are criminals. I guess some parents teach their children to hate at an early age, and it stays with them for the rest of their lives.

Actually some areas of Jackson (NEJackson specificaly among others) has actual raw untreated sewage flowing unto the surface and endangering the citizens of Jackson then directly via tributaries into the Pearl River to endanger all of the Mississippi citizens downriver of Jackson's open sewage discharges.
Don't believe me? Then position yourself during a heavy rain on Northside Drive between I55 and Ridgewood and watch with your own eyes the human feces, toilet paper, tampoons, and other UNTREATED human waste bubbling up through the manholes on its way to the Eastover Lakes and then eventually on to the Pearl River.
Ashby Foote (who lives on high ground) won't address the problem. Maybe you have the leverage to actually help.
I live in south Jackson ...
Where?
7:50, I saw city workers out with the big Vactor trucks working to fix the problems you are talking about the other day during the big rains.
NOPE, they weren't on Northside Drive. Next time it rains meet me out there with your BS bucket so you can collect some human crapola to add to your compost pile.
As a young man in 1977 I worked for an engineering firm. The City of Jackson contracted with them to conduct a survey of the sewer lines to determine where the breaks were. We would put a smoke bomb in a manhole and then cover the manhole with a large fan to blow the smoke through the line. It was amazing to see the smoke rise up through the ground in peoples yards. Everywhere the smoke rose indicated a break in the sewer line. Smoke also frequently came out of the storm sewers. The was 41 years ago. The problems is nothing new.
I'm not saying you don't have a legitimate complaint, but I did see them working on the problem the other day. You're right, it wasn't right on Northside, it was just off Northside around the corner on Ridgewood.
The "lead-in" to this post has already become a classic. My 80 year old dad almost dropped his Seagrams and water laughing his ass off when I told him "this one won't be hard to find"
Best ever KF !!!!!
A Poacher--
7:18, I used to live in south Jackson about a block off of Terry Road. It was a nice community. Friendly people, nice houses, clean yards, no crime. Today it is a little different. Vacant houses, run down houses, yards look like a wrecking yard, not safe to unlock the doors to your car or even roll the windows down, trash everywhere, gunshots very common, streets look like a war zone.
Can anyone tell me what happened?
10:49, you and your dad are easily amused, huh?
10:06 are you asking a rhetorical question or are you truly unclear on what (who) caused the change?
2:07, I know what happened but I would be called a racist if I stated the correct answer.
10:06 The same thing that happened to west Jackson 40 years ago and the same thing that is happening to NE Jackson now and for the past 20 years. I grew up in Jackson and it is painful to watch the decay. I live out of state now and visit Jackson a couple of times a year. There are a few positive things Jackson has going for it, but it is hard to right a sinking ship without a solid hull.
Did this man get away from the cops. Looks like the Jackson cops would have the advantage over a stranger to the city. What happened?
