Jackson Jambalaya

We all know what's up with Blackmon protecting dog fighters, but, Bomgar's vote is baffling.

Now if they could just do something about the trifling idiots who go out and buy pit bulls and let them roam the streets of west and south Jackson. They buy the dogs so they can walk a "bad" dog and claim that they are breeding them. Next thing you know there are mongrels all over the place. Some have even terrorized the poor "wild" animals in the Jackson Zoo! Yet if these dogs attack you or me they have no insurance and no liability.

Two words. FARM. BUREAU.

Woof!

we need to ban hunting with dogs in Mississippi, it is cruel, inhumane, and the dogs are killed if they don't measure up. Hunting has taken a nose dive and this last bastion of redneck memorabilia needs to be totally done away with once a for all.

It's about progress, not perfection. I'll take process, even if shaking my head in the process.

I, too, would like to know Bomgar's reasoning.

Louis...I hope you are proud of that puzzling post regarding process and progress. When you recover from the giggles, perhaps you can explain it.

Bomgar will adjust his orange tie and post an explanation that is nonsense.

@1:47 et al,

Could it possibly be a Southern Farm Bureau connection?

Who cares about dog fighting? Is it undesirable? Sure. But I would rather see our legislature work on big reforms to shake up state government. So much money is wasted on antiquated systems that are no longer needed. Oh well, I guess I am expecting too much out of Mississippi.

Perhaps you should do some research on the connection between dog fighting and the abuse of humans and other illegal activity. There is a clear pathway between the two. Dog fighting might not be a big issue to you, but it's a huge issue for most of society.

From the Humane Society:
"Over the years, law enforcement raids have unearthed many disturbing facets of this illegal bloodsport. Young children are often present at these events, which promotes insensitivity to animal suffering, enthusiasm for violence, and disrespect for the law. Illegal gambling is commonplace at dogfights, with wagers of thousands of dollars at stake. This profitability makes dogfighting commonplace in organized crime settings as well as the streets.
The sale and use of illegal drugs is common at dogfights as well, and firearms and other weapons have been found at these events due to the large amounts of cash present. Dogfighting has also been connected to other kinds of violence — even homicide."

@1:59 - I'm sure they were all drinking beer and smoking cigarettes too. Let's ban those.
