Jackson Jambalaya

At least they were chasing these criminals. Maybe a change in policing is changing at JPD. Lets hope.

Well at least they saved JPD an unnecessary high-speed chase through traffic...

Two people unable to get to work or transport their family today.
Two cars destroyed. Two insurance companies out claims. Damage to
Public property. Likely injuries treated on your dime. Several expensive legal proceedings
with public defenders on our dime. Yet another success killing blight on the safety of businesses and neighborhoods
From which the vehicles were stolen. Medical care, food and board for the criminals. The economic cost of these and 1000’s of other
Incidents is staggering.

What are the odds? Thanks Jackson for reinforcing the reason I moved to another state!

Oh come on dont be hate'n. They were late for their conflict resolution meeting.

Does anyone REALLY see a way out of this constant decline? I actually consider myself to be an optimist, but I simply can't see a genuine solution to what has become a steady stream of increased lawlessness in the City of Jackson. Are we past the point of no return?

Wish we could put 11:03's post on some of the billboards around town.

10:09, they were not chasing the thugs. The thugs are getting so thick in Jackson that they are running into each other. If they would have not run into each other they would still be driving the stolen cars around Jackson.

A Jackson cop told me that after 10PM at least 1 out of every 10 cars on the streets in Jackson is a stolen car.

11:48, Jackson school district just went from a "F" to a "D".....which means very few Jackson residents could read the message or comprehend it.

They should shoot (figuratively, not literally) for a chain collusion involving 10 stolen cars on the interstate. Could apply for a Guinness World record if they did that. Might be a Natty Light world record I JaxTown.

This perception of crime has been keeping all the journalist busy. Can y'all just stick to reporting on people who contribute to society?

12:39 that there is pretty funny.

Jackson is basically Grand Theft Auto Online now.

You're more likely to have your car theft foiled by smashing into some random player who's also stealing a car than actually getting caught by the cops.

To be fair, no one has ever accused Jackson of embodying a "perception of success". This is about as good as it gets.

They will get the standard "Jacktown blessing" and will be out stealing cars and slinging dope before you can say "perception of crime."

@ 11:41 - I'm neither an optimist nor a pessimist, rather I'm a realist. And I see no way out of Jackson's ever-constant decline, and the sad part is that it hasn't hit rock bottom yet. There are workable solutions, but none of the so-called city leaders really want to talk about those. They'd rather continue on with the status quo so that they can maintain their black leadership. Whatever.......

Will any of the "occupants" get their check from Schwarts & Associates?

11:13 - Did you say "What are the odds?" Are you kidding? I'd say the odds are real good. No, I'd say they excellent. When decent people drive through Jackson, if they really knew the criminals, thugz and thieves were on either side of them, in front and in rear of them they would never enter the city limits again.

Per WLBT, this is on the dumb ass rednecks who leave the keys in their unlocked cars. Come on guys, make it easier on the thieves: Put a neon sign on your back window that says “Steal me!”.

In the US, a vehicle is stolen every 26 seconds. It's not just Jackson.
There are more vehicles in cities so more vehicles are stolen in cities.

By the way, in every single year Chevy pick ups are the most frequently stolen vehicle in Mississippi. And, the person who commented that "keys left in the car" is sadly just accurate.

Do none of you know how to find " search" on your computers? Or is that you can't figure out how to properly phrase the question to get accurate information or select the best choice for finding the information?

If y’all dont know by now. It doesn’t matter how many different mayors and police chiefs they get, JPD will never enforce the law and Jackson will never be anything more than a THUG Nation.

Dees, wrong.

Doubt where these were stolen, they were owned by "rednecks". This would make you out to be racist for your comment.

Per Dees: Are you saying WLBT identifies 'dumb ass rednecks' but will not state the (black) race of an accused, a sought after suspect, or one who is convicted? Make yourself clear please.
