Jackson Jambalaya

Jackson Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba put M.A.C. owner Marcus Wallace in his place Tuesday night.  Mr. Wallace simultaneously be-clowned himself and made an ass out of himself during the public comments period.  Watch the video posted below.




Mr. Wallace wanted to talk about facts.  Well, the fact is BOTH investigations are incomplete.  The Mayor said that the city took responsibility for the actions of JPD and Public Works after citizens notified the city of the manhole problems on Ridgewood Road that morning.  Mayor Lumumba said at his press conference Monday that the failure of the manhole itself was still under investigation.   The John Knight incident is still under investigation as well. 

Mr. Wallace did respond to the Mayor on Facebook:

 Yesterday I presented some facts at the city council mtg that the Mayor felt the need to be combative on. Well, its obvious that someone realized that it wasn't such a good decision to do that because all the facts I stated can be proven because its mighty strange that the audio on the council mtg was cut off on our heated discussion. I have put a lot of time, energy and resources into the city of Jackson, the town of Edwards and Western Hinds County over the last 20 yrs. I have personally took time away from my children to help raise other children in this city so I take it very personal when someone trys to defame my character and minimize my business and as much as I care and the passion I have for children black and white and to accuse me of using the little white girl's tragic death to get a contract or make money was the lowest and unprofessional accusation to make on someone who proves day in and day out what he's about. How the hell I'm trying to make money off her death when I stated over 6-8 months ago that someone was going to get hurt. So one way or another the Lord is going to make sure the citizens in this city hear the audio on what took place last nite. Its obvious that you're listening to all the wrong people, you're combative on every issue, you're cocky, you have no concern of the people or the businesses in the inner city and you're running the city like a mom and pop store. People like but stats don't. All the council has to do is get the shovel and start digging and they will see for themselves what is going on. Citizens, stay tuned.... Its gametime!!! Let's play ball!

 since companies who are getting these millions of dollars of projects without contracts are the ones who feeding you all this info it's very obvious who you are listening to. To state publicly that I'm trying to capitalize off the young lady's death was actually very low my brother. Its obvious you haven't done your research cause the passion and love I have for the children in this city has not gone unnoticed. I have begged and begged for months to do something about these holes in the streets. I took my personal funds and bought equipment to help solve this problem and for this child to die and someone local had the equipment to work on this problem shows how unsavvy you are as a leader.

 You've talked to John Knight a few times but you havent said to much of nothing. All he know is that his son our son was beaten and there's no record or report an officer calling the license or tag in. That's fact!!! Stay tuned for Part 4...

 

Kingfish note: Why did Mr. Wallace feel the need to say "white" in "little white girl's tragic death" in his Facebook post? Does it have anything to do with anything?  

Mr. Wallace should post a picture of his certification on Facebook.
