This is only the "perception of crime." Move along...nothing to see here.
Exclaiming 'Yo Momma' will get you shot five times, every time.
What's the 2018 tally now...only one shooting day left !
Animals.
We are slowly and surely peeling back the fabric of a civilized society. You can get killed in some American cities simply because of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Human life has lost all value. Personally I am going to leave folks alone and stock up on guns and ammo. They may get me but there will be bullets coming back their way. What a mess that we have let happen.
Tomie Green is already preparing her blessing for the suspect.
King. as you note, this is #84. Where do we stand on being the murder capital? Aren't we winning?
7:04 nailed it!
Seriously; Are there stats available to show where Jackson stands as a % of population when compared with major crime cities? That would be interesting (and sad) to know as we close out another year.
Today is the last shooting day this year. If Jackson/Hinds county hits the 100 mark will Tomie Green get a toaster or something?
Eighty-four. That is one out of every two thousand people being murdered every year in Jackson. Let that sink in. Where are the protests? Where is the mayor? Where are loudmouths like Stokes? Where is the outcry? This is awful.
Natchez has a murder for every 1,273 citizens. Jacktown thugs are falling behind.
@8:38
Are you kidding ? Forming and conducting committees to make sure the police are "exposed" for shooting the hand full of thugs they kill every year take a lot of time and effort. The mayor et al don't have time to deal with the homies killing each other.

Uhh, there was just a Stop The Violence event held downtown. A lot are held throughout the year. I'm sorry you only pay attention to Jackson through the news and when you go to Pelican cove.
Downtown isn’t where a rally should be held. Shooters aren’t hanging around there. How about the medical mall or the zoo? Those rallies don’t draw Jackson “community leaders” because they know they could get shot.
Just a perception of a gun problem. No need to change any laws. This is the price we are willing to pay to be freely enjoy our guns.
Dear Melvin Robinson AKA The HoodHippie AKA Theca Jones,,
Do you honestly believe that a "Stop the Violence" event in downtown Jackson will have any serious effect on murder in Jackson?
What the hell has Pelican Cove got to do with anything Jackson? It's not within a nautical mile of Jackson. Roguish Gent must be on drugs.
On New Year's Day at 1:00 AM Jackson had ZERO MURDERS FOR THE YEAR. See, it really is a perception of crime.
