Jackson Jambalaya

Can U get pictures of these fine out standing Citizens????

Which ones?

Nobody deserves to be robbed or beaten (pistol whipped in the back of the head); but, the Hispanics were already lawbreakers and the perps know they carry cash.

Hey Build The Damned Wall! How do you know the Hispanic males are here illegally? One of my best friends immigrated LEGALLY from Honduras and owns a rather large contracting company, he only hires workers with proper documentation, it costs him a lot extra, but he has a true appreciation of this country and its laws --- and he could buy and sell your ignorant hillbilly ass 10 times over. By no means am I a liberal, but comments like yours are just dumb.

8:10 I seriously hope you were kidding.

8:30...You probably have a few black friends too, don't you? Who cares that you have a 'friend who immigrated legally from Honduras'? Your 'friend' isn't working a construction job in Jackson and being pistola whipped. These were illegals and you know it.

A few years ago in Canton it was common-place for blacks to whup and rob the illegals on city streets and the city cops were milking cash out of them on trumped up traffic charges. Probably still is happening since none of them will report it.

The only reason this got reported is that it was witnessed.

Build the damned wall. Stop all this shit. Bring America back.

Bravo, 8:30!!! But these ignorant rednecks are permanently hopeless cases. Six lifetimes won't fix them.

9:35 -because you know 'some' folks that work construction that are here illegally, and because they are illegal they carry a lot of cash, doesn't mean that all the workers (in Jackson or anywhere) are illegal. Your overreaching bullshit is just as bad as the perps that robbed them - the perps probably had the same mindset (and IQ) as you, thinking that because they were hispanic they were therefore illegal and therefore had a lot of cash.

They, and you MIGHT be correct. But you might be wrong as well. I can tell from your comments that you probably never have the thought that you could be wrong especially about anything as basic to you as this simple thought.

Fact is there are some legal folks in this country from south of the border, and they generally are damn good workers. They are willing to work on some of the hardest, hottest, and most demanding construction work around. They show up on time and work the full day. I know this because I hire them all the time. And they have their papers and we file everything appropriate on their work just as we do for everybody else.

And don't throw me your crap claiming I'm a left leaning liberal. I'll put my voting record, my contribution record, and my working as a volunteer record for conservative candidates and causes up against you and bet them ten to one. I just don't take this ignorant assed approach to issues like you have here.

I recognize that you probably don't have a real job - you know, something like the job that these victimes have, but whatever it is that you do with your time other than spew your stupidity, go back to it. Please. You give some awfully good folks a bad name - and by that I mean folks that are for good law and order but don't assume that folks are guilty just because of any type predetermined opinions.

Not a damn one of you have discussed the two thugs. And I am assuming that's what they were or were they professors from Belhaven University just out for some fun?

If you have a friend who says the victims here deserved to be beaten because they are illegals or might be illegals...you should hit your friend with a hammer. Tell him he deserved it.

I don't care if they're here legally or illegally. The country is full. Both parties should go back to where they came from.

"Perception of crime"

Regardless of the citizenship status of the victims, I say we deport the 2 thugs to Mexico. Let's drop them off in the middle of the country with their fishing poles and wish them the best of luck. I bet they don't last 24 hours.

Perps carrying fishing poles? Interesting. Given my knowledge of the area, my guess is they walked down Riverside Drive, then took Myrtle (the last street off Riverside in Belhaven) to get to Laurel and thus access the river at the waterworks or, assuming that's still gated off (though it wasn't always), through the woods to the nearby creek to fish. Instead of fishing for their dinner, they saw an opportunity to rob. A lot of strange things happen on Myrtle, especially when the state fair is here and, in the past, when the homeless camp used to be there in the woods on the west side of I-55 between Riverside and Fortification.

to 'build the damned wall' at 8;10............say what you want about those 2 hispanics, but they were working when they were robbed and beaten by you fellow american citizens.

There you have it. Building the damn wall is really just about keeping brown people out....

Amazing none of you will say this in public.

Legal or illegal, they had a right to be free from being robbed and beaten.

Great work by JPD. Now, which one of our fine judges will let these guys out this afternoon?

Who they were or what they were is not the question. They were working. They were robbed. We need to keep the thugs in jail and the people working. We need more working people and less people who prey on working people.

10:19, what hole have you been hiding in. People say that in public all of the time. You need to get out more.

Will the defendants please rise...

"You walked up to some working men,
And robbed them, then you went fishin'.

That's a crime in this here state,
And should lead you to a prison date.

But I know you have had it tough,
Without a dad and other stuff.

So I'll correct society,
And let you go...that that, Whitey!"

Well said 12:25am.

It's the exact same thing people said about the Scottish, Irish, and Italians in the early 1900s. The idiot at 8:30 and 9:35 is probably some redneck who says he's "Scot-Irish" or "Italian" and knows little about history and the fact that 100 years ago people were telling them to get out of the country as well.

HaHa. I have this visual of Mayberry... walking down the road with fishing poles. Yup, that's a new Jackson.

Nobody deserves to be robbed and beaten. Also, nobody deserves to be working in America without proper authorization to do so. Take all this whiney, liberal shit somewhere else.

We have to take things one step at a time. Our country has been left to fall apart for a long time. It will take time to make it back into a country.

We need to get the criminals under control. That is step one. Thugs like this need to be locked up along side of anyone who is trying to protect them from spending time in jail.

Step two is getting rid of the illegals. Our country already has too many people sponging off out tax dollars. We do not need people from other countries coming into our country illegally.

Maybe our new president will put a stop to both. At least slow it down. It would be nice just to see our president let law enforcement do their job.
