Jackson Jambalaya

I think "gun violence" is a misnomer. "Violent people using guns" is more accurate, I think.

Well, the mayor ludumbo doesn't support law enforcement. I've know chokwe since we went to St. Joe school together. He was always a know nothing know it all type. I'm betting he calls for all police to turn in all of there weapons in order to fight gun violence.

Communicating positive messages about Jackson's progress and ending negative perceptions about crime is important to attract new residents to the city of Jackson, Jackson State University professor B. D'Andra Orey told a group of citizens this morning.

"You might know (people) who actually moved out of the city, but those are anecdotal cases, and you can't make those inferences based on those few cases that you know," Orey said about conclusions drawn from the 2010 Census. "It's the same with crime. A murder might have taken place a few weeks ago--that one murder. So we tend to sometimes have perceptions that don't equate with reality."

@1:17 while I don't disagree with your post, you would think at St. Joe they would teach you the correct their, not there.

Oh, so it's intentional -- not random OK, nevermind. Nothing to see here.

" those are anecdotal cases "

Thanks 1:18 !

I needed a good belly laugh on a Monday afternoon.

1:18, could you please identify your source? I'm particularly interested in whether "this mornng" refers to 12/9/19, or to the date when the quoted statement was actually made. It sounds a lot like something that showed up on JJ years ago.

There is not a thing law enforcement or the courts can do to stop this. It has become ingrained within a culture. Violence has become a lifestyle. And we all know who is to blame.

It is against the law in Jackson to pull a gun or discharge a fire arm in the city limits. What happens when a person is faced with an armed car jacker and is forced to protect their property and life? Will the law abiding owner be charged with a crime? We know the thug will not be charged. We see felons in possession of a gun commit crimes daily without so much as a slap on the wrist.

It has been somewhat gradual, but drugs and thugs have ruined what once was a great place to live. We had a great education system, beautiful churches, much less crime and better streets. Things have not gone so well in the last 50 years. Drugs came in the late 60's and gangs formed like those in Chicago happened during the 80's. Many things happened at one time and tax payers lost control. Federal edicts were also a part of what happened. Hoarders were not allowed to store their stuff in their front yards and litter was not so prevalent. Most citizens of Jackson took care of their property and cared about law and order.

No need to worry. Chuck has a plan for this also. He will just change to plan title to reopening the zoo in 3 weeks to ban guns in Jackson. These plans are always interesting. Not.

Very simple,

Assuming you're White, defend yourself as you see fit.

Say nothing to anyone about how you protected your life within the Capitol City, and I think you'll be safe from the City of Jackson's "legal system".

The latest video of the Shadowlawn Drive is the most brazen yet.

Meanwhile: I'll still never get over the fact that neither the Mayor nor the Police Chief said a word, held a news conference or appeared anywhere following the murder of the Professional Bass Fisherman several years ago at the place that "Leaves The Lights On For Ya". And hundreds of people were in town for that event, many whom vowed to never return.

And, to Burke: What damned difference does it make as to the date of that remark by the college professor. He was a dunce to make that comment regardless of the date.

At 4:15pm...nothing else really needs to be said. It is simply a cultural issue. Nothing short of a National Guard deployment or declaration of martial law could ever hope to curtail the violence. I got a good feel for the status of many large cities after Katrina in New Orleans. The NOPD was nowhere to be seen for the first 10 days after the storm. It was quite a site to see true lawlessness. I think all things considered JPD actually does a decent job. The county court system along with the United States Attorneys Offices continued failure to aggressively prosecute these felons in possession of firearms is the real failure here. I used to hope that administrative changes to the offices would make things better...I was always proven wrong!

How many chiefs of police has Jackson had in the past 40 years?

11:24 Lots of Star-Clusters handed out during that time.

The chief is a real spin meister, just like the jackwagon mayor.

During the recent bridge work on I-20 that required a detour on a Jackson surface street, my 18-year old grandson was on the detour and one of Jackson's finest yutes pointed a gun at him from another vehicle. He was able to get away before getting shot. He does not know the perp and doesn't live in Jackson.

This weekend a lady who is a Madison resident was northbound on I-55 approaching the Madison Co. line. A group of yutes were driving agressively behind and beside her and one of the yutes pointed a pistol at her. She had her four young children in the car, and again, does not know these fine Jackson yutes.

Sure chief, these incidents are all between people who know each other. NOT!

@2:50
I've not yet had a gun pointed at me but I've seen urban youths brandishing them on Ridgewood. They had the windows rolled down, obnoxious rap blaring, and they were displaying their firearms like trophies. One of them had an AR style pistol.

These little cowardly worm heads on act bad when they come across someone who they think is venerable.

I know several females who are in the military or have been and they all are carrying. I can't wait for one of these punks(who could be Chokwe's son} point a weapon at one of them... It will be a hard lesson of life when one of them pumps 15 rounds into the thugs car and watch them do the .45 cal twerk!!!!!!

@3:39 PM - those yutes are looking for a victim, which I refuse to become. Lock and load.

@8:43 & 9:20 AM
If you fire into a vehicle full of Jacksons finest marksmen, then expect to spent a weekend at the Hinds County Sheriff's Resort in Raymond.

No judge in Hinds County is going to bless you. And at the end of it all, when you are broke and humiliated, you will wish that you had just been killed on I-55 rather than suffer another day at the hands of modern day Social Justice Warriors.

Again, this can all be avoided by simply not going into Jackson. There’s plenty of good paying jobs outside of Jackson. There’s no reason to set foot into the war zone, with the exception of the hospitals.

At 9:37...The mayor at that time (murder of bass fisherman) was Chokwe Senior. The Chief was Jimmy something or other. The names are blurred, so many of them. White shirt and four stars on each starched collar. Trimmed stache and shined black shoes. Next?

@12:14
I attended our company Christmas party last night at our company owners my bosses house in Northeast Jackson there were 46 of us in attendance and we enjoyed our time there. Many employees work for business owners that reside in Jackson but own businesses outside of the city. We supply a ortho group here locally and there party is also at a physicians house in Jackson. They have locations outside the city as well. Stop being a moron and welcome to the real world. Look at CSpire family lives in Northeast Jackson and usually found at the tennis club nearby. Name of the club slip my mind at the moment. Getting old at the age of 49 I guess.
