5 total for the weekend. And no snitches!
We have 5/165,000 in Jackson. 37/2.7 Million in Chicago. So per capita Jackson is ahead.
So...that was THREE, not TWO?
'Somebody shot me, dood...who?...Main, I ain't got a clue!'
I sure hope they don't waste time trying to investigate crimes when the "victim" doesn't want to help. KF please give us some context so we understand: Do these folks really have no idea who shot them or do they just not want to be "snitches"? Are there really this many random people minding their own business getting capped in Jackson?
Is Lake Hico open to the public?
11:45 AM Yes, but body armor and a .45 or 9MM is recommended.
