Jackson Jambalaya

What was the final count of murders in Jackson for 2016?

Way too many! Poverty breeds Crime!

"Poverty breeds Crime"

BS-- People...thugs breed crime!

IF POVERTY breeds crime, why is West Virginia so low in crime?

i bet Jackson's murder rate is higher than Chicago's..

Poverty does not breed crime. Irresponsibility, lack of personal accountability, absentee parenting and greed breed crime.

But, back to this report. How many perps were there? Are the two mentioned the same person or two separate thugs? The report is unclear as to whether Bae Bae and the other guy are the same or two separate pussies. Even at that, does it matter?

52 as if 11-27-2015

And all of Arkansas 4:21 except Little Rock.....take it out and Arkansas is one of the lowest in the country.

It was at 65 on 12-8-16 but that was before the three men were killed at one time. I think there were a couple of more killed after that.

@1:09...I am sick of hearing this bullshit about "poverty breeds crime". I was one of 6 kids raised on a less than affluent farm. We had no indoor bathroom and I was embarrassed for the kids that lived in their nice Jim Walter houses to see where I lived.

I did not feel "poor"...I just felt undercapitalized. Five of us finished college. Three of us got advanced degrees (MS, M.D., and DVM)....but our brother that did not finish college made more money in real estate than the rest of us put together. We all worked on the farm and on through school. We didn't sit on the freakin' porch feeling sorry for ourselves and trying to figure how to rob someone.

Here Here Cap'n!

Poverty more often breeds responsibility and enterprise and goals and the struggle to achieve. Poverty breeds success.

Those who accept the notion that society is responsible for crime because society allows poverty are full of crap.

Idle hands breed crime.

Jackson is LOST.

10:17, I agree completely. Poverty and criminals have nothing in common.
Criminals always want a reason for breaking the law. Poverty is always a good one. My upbringing was much like yours. I can remember helping my father put in running water in our home, cold water only. No telephone. We went to the local grocery store and used their phone if we ever had to make a phone call.
I was one of eight children. All finished high school and went on to college. My first job paid $3 per week.
Take a real good look at some of the poor criminals. Their shoes cost more than all of the clothes I owned when I was young. The cost of their cell phone per month would have fed my entire family for the month.

You people can't even figure out how many damned killings there have been in Jacktown in 2015? Shit!

Can't really blame people for not knowing how many people were killed in Jackson. JPD keeps changing the rules. Maybe they decided some of the people murdered actually needed killing and should not count against them. Maybe they don't have anyone working in JPD that can count above 21. After all they have just so many toes and fingers.

i was trying for 80

7:42, Dave, you may have made 80 easily. No one will ever really know. We will not get an honest count from the city and no one outside really cares as long as it is those inside who were killed and who were the killers.
