Jackson Jambalaya

But Southside Dee is such a "GOOD BOY" according to his mother; "Southside Dee wouldn't hurt anyone"!!!!! He is a fine upstanding young man.

Dee GOOT! Now he rob you but he won't shood ya.

I could understand this if he was promised 72 virgins but this boy ain't gittin nowhere with this.

His real name is Ladarien Tyrese Jones.

Of course it is.

Let me guess. He's also a rapper.

Is that a hairband he's wearing, in the third picture? Or has the top of Ladarien Tyrese' head been removed, recently?

If it's the latter, maybe someone should check to be sure that when the brain was replaced, the surgeons didn't mistakenly install the one in the jar labeled 'ABNORMAL'.

What do y'all have against rappers? Y'all were in love with Kanye when he supported Trump?

Where do these thug get all the high priced armament?

@Johnny Weir,

Can you spell "THIEF" on the run?

8:13pm asks the $64 question, that no one wants to answer. Where do these guys, under age 18, get this high priced, high quality, armament?

As we know, some people are selling their guns on Craigslist, some more successfully than others.

But my years on this planet have taught me one thing. When an obvious question never gets answered, that usually means powerful people are behind it. So my assumption is these guns are being sold by white people. Because if black people were selling these guns, arrests for illegal gun sales would be all over the news every night.

7:13, you misunderstand. We lost a little respect for Trump when he allowed himself to be caught with Kanye.

8:13 Out of your F150

9:14, They either steal them or have a family member or friend straw purchase them illegally. For some reason the ATF does not prosecute many for straw purchases or even follow up on NICS denials at gun stores.

"When an obvious question never gets answered, that usually means powerful people are behind it.

But more often it means the question was rhetorical.

But, just so you won't feel left out, can you give your thoughts on how 'powerful people' are behind the acquisition of handguns by street thugs? And don't let the following fact get in your way: Most guns in the hands of criminals and common thugs are stolen.

I think it's ridiculous to leave a gun unsecured in a vehicle, ie just laying under the seat, in the glove box, or in the center console, especially if you drive an F150. That gun serves no purpose sitting in your vehicle when you aren't in your vehicle. I carry all day every day. It took some getting used to, but now it is second nature. A gun is a big responsibility. These stolen guns aren't just shown off on Facebook; they are used to commit other crimes and sometimes kill people. It's our right to have guns, but I think some people fall short on the responsibility that comes along with that right. Let's also not forget our right to life. So, when someone's stolen gun is used to take someone else's life, should the person who dropped the responsibility ball by leaving an unsecured weapon in a vehicle be held liable in some way?

6:14am, I know your mind is a made up and you're not going to listen, but I'll go through the exercise anyway. Here's how guns get into the hands of the underaged:

1. People sell their guns but claim they're stolen. Now they have the revenue of the illegal sale, plus the insurance claim.
2. People buying guns in bulk and selling out of the trunk of their car. I'm assuming this is how young people get fairly exotic guns, like handguns with laser sights. This is a major issue for Chicago, where handgun sales are essentially illegal. And guess who has the ability to buy guns in bulk? Gun dealers, who are 99% white guys.
3. Legitimate stolen guns. It happens, but not as often as you think. See #1.
4. Straw purchases.

Do you really think there are enough legitimate stolen guns to arm all of south Jackson's young people?

You would think tracking of the guns used in crimes, and holding those sellers feet to the fire, would be a major part of crime fighting. Since it's not, again I assume that's because we know it will end up pointing to crooked white people. Occam's razor in effect.

Agreed. More people need to start keeping their firearms on their person, not leaving them in their vehicle. If law abiding citizens did a better job of carrying their guns we would see gun crimes drop drastically.

And if you drive an F-150 and leave a gun in the car, you should be beaten with a rubber hose. Criminals break into that vehicle more than any other, they're simply the easiest to get into.

Am I to assume they are going to arrest the "victim" for failing to call in for a background check on the subject before consummating the gun sale transaction?

Have they caught Outhouse Dee yet?

9:43 still believes in Santa too.

Pitt, what type of job do these good citizens have where they can afford to buy these guns? If it is true as you say and they are buying these guns please let us know what kind of job they have. Most of them I have seen don't work. Maybe you are seeing something I am missing.

Please don't tell us they are wearing them as shoes.

That's an unpersuasive theory Pitt. Would you by any chance have one iota of backup for any of it? Thought not.

And to the one lecturing us about responsibility. It's not easy to stuff some guns in your britches every time you get out of the truck unless you wear an untucked, LL Bean Camo shirt every day.

Risking being called a racist and fully recognizing that there is variation within all racial groups: I've worked with and been friends with black women all of my life. I've seen how they work and how they parent their children. And I've always been impressed by their work ethic, their values, and the firm way they discipline their kids. I think American black women are one of the most impressive demographic groups in the history of the world, with the way they have persevered and taken care of their families through incredible difficulty. But for whatever reason, at some point in their development, too often their sons become amoral, ruthless, and lazy jackholes. How does this happen and what accounts for the differences between the genders in the black community? I really want to know.

"For some reason the ATF does not prosecute many for straw purchases or even follow up on NICS denials at gun stores."

It's not the ATF's fault, they are just executing what the got'damn government tells them too! Congress passes the damn laws and the NRA is pumping too much damn money into congress and they write their own laws - so the gun manufacturers want to keep on putting guns into society - because they are making a killing off of people's fears and gangsters at the same time!

The NRA loves people like Southside Dee - because he's the poster child for ignorance and fear - they prop him up and go, "see, here's the bad guy - you need guns to protect you and your family from people like him"

But dumb ass Southside Dee thinks that people fearing him is a good thing, because his street cred is now through the roof! So he's going to pose and take these dumb ass pictures to show how "tough" and "bad" he really is - never understanding how society is pimping his dumb ass and cashing in off his ignorance!

Oh the tangled web we weave!

12:38, I have also worked with and around with black women and black men. I have seen both sexes teach their children it is alright to commit just about any crime as long as it is against a white or a company. For some reason they seem to think a company has a money tree somewhere. They also think every white person owes them something.

Children are much easier to teach right from wrong when they are young. I think you are seeing something while working with these black women that does not happen at home. We see grade school kids committing crimes. Not only are they committing crimes they do not think it is wrong. For an example just read the rambling posts by Pitt Panther.

@ 12:38pm

First thing, don't pay any attention to 1:40pm's comment - "I have seen both sexes teach their children it is alright to commit just about any crime as long as it is against a white or a company."

Who the fudge sickle teaches their children its alright to commit crime as long as its against "white" people or a "company" - then show that to a white person? GTFOH

Now you asked the question, "But for whatever reason, at some point in their development, too often their sons become amoral, ruthless, and lazy jackholes. How does this happen and what accounts for the differences between the genders in the black community? I really want to know."

I think you've gone into places and seen some black kid dressed like "Southside Dee" and assume he must have been like Southside Dee - thats perception. These kids have crazy fashion taste - what generation doesn't?

As far as lazy and immoral, in my humble opinion - what teenage kid is not lazy? Teens have a sh*t load of hormones and emotions; they haven't learned how to hone their emotions and hormones - so they don't want anyone to tell them anything, they want to do what they want to do and they want their families to open up the ATM whenever however, regardless of their financial standings

But on the flipside of lazy - the next time you go out to eat, go through the drive thru, go into Wal-Mart, CVS, Walgreens, Best Buy, Petsmart, Krogers, McDades, Dillards, JCPenney, your waiter or waitress, Sam's Club - in Madison, Ridgeland, Brandon, and Pearl - a majority of the kids you see working in those places are black, not white. So you can't sum all up to being lazy - but just not all.

Don't let perception be your reality

2:28, this is 1:40. Who said I was white? I am a descendant of slaves. Not all of those with slaves in their family tree are black, sit at home with their hand out, commit crimes, quit school, abandon their children, and never work.

Some descendants of slaves decided to work to bring themselves up in life. They obeyed the law, went to school, got a job, and raised their family. I know that is hard to believe as they are never pointed out. The descendants of slaves that are easy to see and is commonly thought of is those behind bars because of the crimes they committed. Those men who have abandoned their children.

"For some reason the ATF does not prosecute many for straw purchases or even follow up on NICS denials at gun stores."

What statutory reason would the ATF have for 'following up' on a gun purchase denial? There is no law broken by attempting to purchase a firearm, regardless of your background. Or do you think the gubment should just be following people around and watching them?

@ 7:41am

"Or do you think the gubment should just be following people around and watching them?"

Well if they follow you around when it comes to purchasing a vehicle or a house, you damn right they should follow you around when someone put a gun in another persons hands, never knowing what the hell they are going to do with said gun?

One Jackson teacher told her cousin she was having issues in her neighborhood and wanted to "borrow" a gun for protection. Turned around and used the very same gun borrowed to go kill an innocent pregnant woman.
