Jackson Jambalaya

We should build a wall around Jackson and east ridgeland before it's too late.

He can say bye-bye to life as a free man, once caught, for a very long time. Madison will surely make an example of crime not paying for this criminal.

THE HORROR...a BLACK man in Madison?!?!?!? Someone please call Queen Mary-ee and stop this madness. In all seriousness, his ass better have driven straight back to Kennef Stokes' house where he be safe. In Madison county, he'll be looking at 25 to life. In Hinds County---probably 6 months, time served, back on the streets by Easter.

Seee???!!?!?! Just like Jackson! Better move to Grenada!!!!

You suburb types are so delusional! You have a robbery just like the 6 or 7 we have every week in Jackson, so you're just as dangerous.

Plus we have Whole Foods. And Parlor Market!!!!

Madison County Thugs

It is OUTRAGEOUS that Madison has not yet put up checkpoints coming in to the City. Anyone with a Hinds County plate, Jackson address on their drivers license, or who otherwise does not appear to "belong" should be turned away at the entrance. This is a simple fix.

Delaying this is only putting our families in harm's way. Maybe Gluckstadt will incorporate and put this in place???

This is why I NEVER travel outside of my brick castle in Gluckstadt unarmed. Even in Madison, you have to be ready to defend yourself from the Jackson THUGS at all times.

Madison retail = target rich environment.

Keep moving north morons. The crime will follow you.

There is a simple way of stopping these robberies. Close the door any time you see a person coming in that direction wearing a hoodie. It is 90 outside. Anyone wearing a hoodie is up to no good.

10:08 are you for real? Seriously? More Madison Nazis....

No spillover in crime, huh...

wait till Costco!

I knew there would be a brick comment hereabouts sooner or later.

I'd guess the boy be either from Canton or Flora since he put the pedal to the metal and headed west on 463.

Early bird gets the worm.

"It is OUTRAGEOUS that Madison has not yet put up checkpoints coming in to the City."

This kinda thing is why law should be taught in schools.

anytime you have an easy target with quick on and off of an interstate it really doesn't matter what county you put it in, they will come. Madison does a good job of keeping the in and outers at bay, one slips through from time to time, but it is nothing like the lawless thuggery in Jackson.

Just remember "IT" spreads like cancer---Jackson to Ridgeland on to Madison. I went to the Kangaroo in Flowood on Lakeland this morning and there were 8 customers inside and 4 customers at the pump---I was the only white person. I bet Mr. Kingfish won't post this.

Check and see if the clerk worked at the Burger King across the street. Where
is the security camera picture?

This homey is for sure not that smart. Robery in Madison County? If he's that dumb, he has already bragged about it to at least 3 people and is still in the state. 48-72 hours he'll be in custody. He could just drive a few miles south of the county border and commit as many crimes as he wants. The ole catch and release program is still in play.

2:05, what exactly is your point? I went to Ole Miss in the late 70's, and 99 percent of the time I was the only black person in some classes. Was I supposed to be afraid of white people? I've eaten in restaurants that had only white patrons and white servers? Was I supposed to be afraid? I've been in restaurants in Jackson, and there has been one white person eating there compared to 20 black people. What I'm trying to tell you is not one of those people in that store gave a damn whether you were black or white. You were the only one who cared.

And to all the people who wants to build a wall between Jackson and Madison, I would love to see where you are all going to work in Madison. Downtown Jackson is full of Madison County cars every workday, but I assume if you have your wall that you would actually stay behind it and not come out. Besides, that sounds so Donald-Trumpish.

@12:11am: Madison will build a wall and Jackson will pay for it!

Can't decide if it's laughable or pathetic how many people on this site can't detect sarcasm. Seriously.

11/1/16 2:05, you are correct. Information Technology does spread like cancer and thankfully so. It improves the quality of life. I have no idea, however, what that has to do with being the only white customer at a gas station or, for that matter, what that has to do with anything.

The first time the Burger King at this location was robbed (about six years ago), the perp, an employee I believe, escaped to the west on 463 and helicopter patrol was circling the bank area around Key Circle minutes later. He was caught.

She second time (about a year ago), the perp took a right (north) onto 55, ditched the car and ran back through the woods toward BK where an accomplice was to collect him in another ride.

These people are really poor planners. Both events were mighty suspicious and one or both, I believe, involved an employee-accomplice either making or about to make deposits. The M.O. here is pretty much the same.

The church-torching in Greenville is suspected to also be an inside job. Brilliance in planning once again.
