Gee, I can't imagine why anyone would want to shoot this fine young man!
Dumbass doesn't understand that his 2nd amendment rights are pointless if all he's doing is posing with them. Haha
Dude lives in a nice bando.
People like this guy go to a lot of dangerous trouble to bolster their
self-esteem. If he can't achieve anything else, at least he can appear dangerous. Hope he doesn't have children. Like Jed Clampett used to say; piiiiityful!
Wow, just short of a grand slam. Wonder if there has ever been a grand slam in the bold new city?
Someone is stealing gas out of rental boats in Ridgeland so I guess "crime is everywhere".
Are authorities certain he didn't shoot his own foot in an attempt to return fire? "You mo'fu***r's betta get on up out of here fore I shoots myself in the other foots."
......"Several subjects were shot"....
I understand some punctuation was improperly used by the victims.
Were any verbs or pronouns injured in the incident?
The future of Jackson showing off.
And the gang war in Jackson continues. They're doing an excellent job killing each other off.
9:37, but they are such poor shots. Jackson needs to put in some shooting ranges so they can learn how to hold a gun.
"And the gang war in Jackson continues. They're doing an excellent job killing each other off. "
Not quite yet.
We read too much about thugs like this bunch.
Instead, take time to remember this tragic loss:

Fikayo was a great kid, a Nigerian immigrant who worked his butt off both in the classroom and on the field. He was one of the few around here to get a scholarship to play at a D1 school (Ohio State), where he was taking pre-med courses with a long-range goal of becoming a surgeon. Parents found him respectful, serious, and quiet, while my kids told me he was fun to hang around with and just a regular guy with his peers. The SA Class of 2014 found out yesterday morning via a text blast, and the parents knew it by noon.
I have seen many of his admirable characteristics in other African immigrants I have worked with or taught. They share traditional American values, and appreciate the opportunity to work hard to achieve things out of the reach of most who live in their native countries. Contrast that with the photo above of one of the native thugs. The only thing they have in common is skin color. It is clear that cultural and family values are what is missing among our native criminals.
His mom is an ophthalmologist at UMMC, and his sister just graduated from St Andrew's. I'm not sure what his father does. They are in Columbus now after the memorial last night at Jesse Owens Stadium. Please keep them in your prayers.
Hey Tony! Keep up the great work in Jackson Baby Boy!
Mortgage free since 2014!
