Jackson Jambalaya

Jacktown. Sad

9:50 READ. This happened in MADISON.

9:50 A.M. Reading is fundamental. Or you're just used to the "Jacktown" bashing that you assume all crime happens there?

Madison is gone. we should start moving north. this is terrible how scary what if they would have gotten all the prozac. what would the housewives have done?

I believe what 9:50 was hinting at is this is yet another case of Jackson residents bringing their ways to the suburbs. We should build a wall, and shoot all who try to cross it.

This is SO scary. How can we keep our children safe? I won't even let my wife go shopping in Madison alone anymore with all these THUGS running around. The only thing we can do is keep moving north (skipping over the ghetto formerly known as Canton). Grenada here we come!!!

@10:55 HAHAHAHAHAHA I agree, but what about the antidepressants. what if they would have stolen those?

"...what if they would have gotten all the prozac.

... what would the housewives have done?"

You don't live in Mississippi, do you? Local standards of syntax, even among the less educated, do not allow your misuse, in the first quoted sentence, above, of 'would have'. That colloquialism is on a long list of things we actual Mississippians were taught, in Junior High English class, NOT to say. It's in the same category as "take and".

We used to ask our teachers, "Who even SAYS those things?" The answer was always something like, "I'm not sure. I think Yankee factory workers talk like that, because they don't know any better, up there."

And if you were familiar with Madison, you'd KNOW BETTER than to refer to "the housewives", as if stay-at-home moms were the norm, here. This isn't Stepford, nor is the year 1952. It takes TWO incomes, to pay for private school tuition, a big new house, and a Pearl White Lexus LX (as well as the other two vehicles, in the other two bays of the 3-car garage).

Any "housewives" are likely to be retirees. Many are retired military, or retired law enforcement personnel. They vigilantly guard our neighborhoods, and are fully capable of shooting-dead (or dispatching, via alternative methods), any interlopers who need killing. That is why we say, in Madison, "Do something wrong, around here, and you'd better PRAY the police get to you FIRST."

Yes, there are TROPHY WIVES in Madison, but 'Trophy Wife' is an entirely different category from 'Housewife'. And even the trophy wives, around here, tend to have careers (even if those careers have to be subsidized by the elderly surgeons and plaintiff attorneys to whom these women are typically married). When they aren't busy with their careers, these women are at the gym/spa/health club/racquet club/athletic performance center.

Trophy wives may be medicated (particularly the ones married to the more narcissistic and psychotic surgeons). But Prozac is hardly what they'll be prescribed: it's "so YESTERDAY".

I assume that you're someone being paid a pittance, for helping to "control Internet conversations in Madison County". I'm just trying to help you do your little job a bit better.

@12:20

speaking of Prozac.............

It's just the internets. Don't take life too seriously, nobody makes it out alive.

Man did they pick the wrong city, but then again, nobody accuses criminals of being too smart. Madison PD will find them and the DA will prosecute to the fullest extent of the law.

That was a waste of oxygen.

1220 sounds as insecure to live in Madison as I do to live in Jackson.

Lots of similar instances (Jacktown) of these car/truck smash and grab crimes. Dollar to a donut the vehicle is found quickly and is registered (if at all) in Hinds County.

They only wanted cigs and hair grease.

@1:05 if he/she even lives in Madison, but yes you are right. Probably racked up a bunch of debt to keep up with the rest of the men with "trophy wives"

@12:20 the State test scores really show how well you are taught in Junior High. What place is Mississippi in? I am guessing somewhere near the bottom.

You all sound like a bunch of MEN BITCHES having MANopause !!!!!!!

GROW UP AND GO TO WORK !!!!!!

Just another reason crime is a Metro problem, just not a Jackson one...

We as the metro area have to work together to stop crime. We are seeing what happens when we don't. Expect more, not less, crime in Madison.

@2:57

Fallacy! We will catch and prosecute the Jackson redidents who commit crime in Madison. They know to keep it in Jackson.

Cops know better than to come running at Jackson when there is a crime committed in their city. They have been warned. Do so at your own peril.

3:48. You are too misinformed to know the truth. Thugs have cars and know how to drive
and don't give a rip about county or city lines.

Just repeat "all the crime is in Jackson" and you will be fine. Until you are in Walgreens and the ATM gets stolen or you are shot in the parking lot of Logan's Roadhouse.

Stokes boys are headed north. Hide your valuables.

12:20 - Glad to have you read the board, Jill Conner !

6:13. Or Canton's boys headed south...Madison is the creme of an Oreo.

@6:13 That is hilarious. I agree. Eventually everyone eats the creme. Madison is swirling the toilet

7:28 double stuff if you include gluckstadt

Don't be fooled by the cookie's benign appearance. In the middle of this Oreo you don't have complacency and acceptance (and invitation) of the criminal element like you have in the black wafers to either side of the rich, creamy center.

While Madison/Gluckstadt may be the creme of the cookie, step carefully - you might take a bite that will get your ass riddled with lead.

@10:56 yes your right.
