Thank you JPD and the public.
I want to be certain all who read this understand my pride in the actions of the JPD in their investigation and resolution of this incident. In my opinion, JPD always gets the criminal. As a resident of Clinton I am proud of the officers of JPD and their efforts on a daily basis to uphold their commitment to enforcing the law in the cesspool that is Jackson.
Oddly, when I look at his name I see Alcatraz.
Oh my goodness. Somebody named their baby after synthetic micro-suede material typically found on the steering wheel of a Mercedes. Alcantara.
Needs a “blessing”
Ha! I knew I recognized his name! That’s the fancy fabric people put in their cars! His mother must be a seamstress.
I'm waiting for the rest of the story. Was he known to the mother and/or the children?
Yes, and thank you for the salutes to JPD. We need every ounce of strength they can give us and we are grateful for them.
I knew a really fine girl on the east coast with the last name Alcantara. Alcantara also a type of fibre that is a leather substitute.
Why did they leave out his address, or city of residence?
Look at JPD. Doing actual police work. Unlike Madison SO.
The problem is usually not JPD, it is the DA and Judges, who you refuse to criticize.
There you go again Melvin thinking that your opinion carries some, er, weight.
This thug was arrested last year on various charges in Jackson, but of course the charges were dismissed.
JPD can catch the criminals but the judges will just release them back onto the streets.
JPD does a tremendous job, especially considering their resources and pay. Unfortunately the gross incompetence (or worse) of the DA and judges will ensure crime continues in Jackson.
It has got to be frustrating to JPD that they put their lives on the line to catch criminals and then the judges just dismiss charges or slap them on the wrist. And then the citizens they are trying to protect and serve elect the same judges over and over...
@Kingfish
When have I refused to criticize the judges?
Thorca: Please remind us when you HAVE criticized Jackson or Hinds judges. I'll wait....
So...I hear on WLBT that this little POS was drawing disability, at age 20, because he got shot in the leg and got a metal plate installed. His court appointed POS lawyer was trying to get sympathy for claiming this punk has PTSD.
My dad fought in 2 wars, WWII and Korea, was wounded, captured, escaped and never could get his VA benefits because his records were burned in St Louis in th ‘70’s. And this guy gets a check! WTF! This crap stain gets what he deserves for shooting two children. Those kids didn’t deserve any of this. Meanwhile we give shit like this disability when we have our older members of society on a fixed income and they have to worry about whether to buy meds or eat. Go figure! Don’t you just love this politically correct society we live in?
Oh, please! JPD only did their job because of all the press. The FBI was on the scene. JPD had to try to do something. Oh, by the way, his mother turned him in, JPD did not find him.
I am still waiting on the rest of the story from the Brookhaven police killings. We are always left hanging.
