What # are we up to?
Using a gun in any crime should be an immediate death penalty that is actually carried out within three years.
61 I think in murders, only God knows how many shootings. KF, does anyone track those stats? Have to be one spreadsheeting mofo.
61
Moving to a street called "shady lane" should have been there first clue.
I actually had friends that lived on that street in the early 80’s.
61 or 62.
Our judicial system is way too biased and crooked to be trusted with killing people within 3 years. A non starter. Too many people are concerned with convictions instead of justice.
10:29, bullshit. It's wimps like you that allow criminals to live on death row at taxpayer's expense for decades. There are 41 on Mississippi's death row now, and when was the last execution? Meanwhile, decent people either move to a safer neighborhood with alarm systems or are stuck in the hood in their "home prison" with bars on the windows.
Discount Hunting was on Shady Lane.

Why can't people solve their personal disputes without depending on a damn gun to do it for them?
Friends don't let friends move to a street called "Shady Lane."
No Sam, friends don't let friends live in Jackson.....better known around the country a Slaughter Town!!!!
Does anyone out there have a tally of the murders in the City With Soul this year? Have you broken triple digits yet?
I guess this only enhances the perception of crime in the Capital City.
Is anyone besides me sorry that this poor young woman died?
