Jackson Jambalaya

Gotta say I’m disappointed in the lack of bruises on the scumbag’s face. Neither of his eyes is swollen shut, either.

Apartments. Clinton has too many for it's own good. A haven for Jackson's refugees. It will be Clinton's downfall. Too bad.

Clinton PD needs to follow the lead of Rankin County Sheriff Bryan Bailey and buy a bomb and bulletproof surplus military MRAP.

It is unreal to see how Clinton has changed. My son is a 11th grader at Clinton H.S. my daughter is a sophomore at Arkansas state. All I can say is how grateful I am he's nearly out of Clinton H.S. I graduated from Forest Hill and Clinton H.S. is the next forest hill. Apartments killed Clinton.

Sigh. Never know what might happen when you go to work. Tough being a cop. Wonder when folks will start shouting Police Brutality for making that poor man jump out a second story window.

@1:00. The professionalism of the CPD should be commended, not ridiculed. Law enforcement does not mete out sentences. To suggest otherwise would make them complicit in violating the law.

@1:00 PM - that works for me. It looks like there is a bleeding heart/sob-sister snowflake posting on here.

Allowing low-rent and/or Section 8 housing will ruin any community. They are breeding grounds for thugs, welfare queens, and other low lifes.

Good job CPD. Brave actions of a few LEO probably saved multiple lives.

I don't get all of the anti-Clinton comments, this was a domestic disturbance. Happens to white people too, and not just in apartments.

@2:29: What does the price of the rent have to do with whether the officer uses excessive force? (btw, how much is your trailer rent? Asking for a friend.)

Clinton has been lost for a decade, but they just refuse to accept it.

Rankin and Madison have all the entertainment, shopping, restaurants, and movie theaters.

Now that Brandon has a Starbucks, the migration from Clinton will accelerate. Better sell your house now before your property values resemble South Jackson.

Word on the street is that Amazon/Whole Foods is looking into moving to Riverwind Drive in Pearl. An absolute coup!

3:17, when your quality of life is determined by eatin places and strip malls, then yeah, you live in a Mecca. Not everybody’s happiness is tied to eating out 3 times a day.

3:17, you know you can get all that crap from Amazon online and have it at your door in less than two hours, right? You don’t actually have to go to an outlet mall to buy things.

Apartments? Just wait until the 660 units under construction north of Gluckstadt open up for, ah, occupancy. Need we discuss?

Clinton PD is about as good as it gets in this part of the state. But their resources will be stretched thin in the future mainly because of the apartment dwellers. Same thing about Clinton public schools. The Jackson crowd will challenge all forms of discipline and order. They bring the ghetto with them. But I know Clinton will fight the good fight. Good Luck!

I have lived in Clinton for many of the last 23 years, as either a student or resident. I have been a homeowner in Clinton since 2007. I have heard about the supposed downfall of Clinton since the late 90s. And it is always centered around race. And it is always just a damn lie. Clinton is great. Clinton schools are great. It is not perfect, but it's a great place to live. I chose to live in Clinton long before I had kids because it is a diverse city with great schools. Those things still ring true. But there is a certain segment that will never be happy with their kids going to school with black and brown folks. I would rather those folks not live in my town.

It'll take a while for Clinton to catch up with Gene McGee's apartment footprint. As Gluck is the storage building capital of Mississippi, Ridgeland is the apartment complex capital. Now, half of Louisiana's traffic will stop in Clinton for gas on the way to Costco. Don't blame this shit on Clinton.

You can thank Rosemary Altman for the apartments. After Byram was reincorporated, minorities were pushing for more apartments. But Mayor Tremonte held a public meeting at the Byram Middle School gym and counteracted their arguments with facts. The police chief, fire chief, school superintendent all gave stats about greater problems coming from apartment dwellers. Apartment managers verified the adequate number of available rental units. Developers told the number of duplexes available. Complaints were silenced thanks to facts and the Mayor getting ahead of the problem.

@3:54pm - The apartments north of Gluckstadt are in Canton city limits and in Canton school district. Not the same problem Clinton has where the apartments are all in the good school district.

3:17 PM Best news I heard all month.

"Word on the street is that Amazon/Whole Foods is looking into moving to Riverwind Drive in Pearl. An absolute coup!"

Need to add Kidnapping to his list of charges. Will increase time at sentencing.

“Minorities were pushing for more apartments” Lies, lies, and more lies to reinforce ignorant stereotypes. A can name a few white men in this area, most of whom live in Madison that develop these apartments for profit, often using tax breaks and housing credits...Ask Bruce Kirkland.

Props to CLinton PD. They knew this guy had a gun, had used it, and went through the door anyway. This could have been so much worse.

They ran in while knowing it was an active shooter. Surprised he did not get shot in his huge balls.

I think COSTCO is looking at a second location next door to "MC".

I've heard they might have a brick parking area to "fit in" with the community.

Wow! The haters are giving Jackson a break and hating on Clinton. They are so predictable and do nothing for the good of Mississippi. Clinton is a very nice town with a good new industry that will improve the area for all. Don't buy into the negativity of the haters. And, bravo to the Clinton PD. Know the woman calling for help was relieved to see them. Someday maybe these abusive men will quit believing that their home is their castle full of people that they own, body and soul.

As a Clinton native, these comments have race written all over them. Clinton has the same apartments from when I was in school and the race ratio was majority white. Yes, the district is now about even, with some schools having a slightly higher non-white percentage. Minorities are also homeowners in the community...I guess some of you have forgotten that was a possibility huh? People always complain about minorities not wanting to do better, but when they do, it becomes “do better, but just don’t come over here making our town and schools less white.”

Just wait til those 660 apartments' youngans wind up in Madison School District. Think it's not possible? Stay tuned. Canton can't house them.

No need to stay tuned. 8:54 doesn't have a clue.

4:23 Jackson also has the same apartments they had thirty years ago, but anyone who doesn't have his head in the sand knows that they have all changed, not just race but in activity. Apartments in south Jackson, west Jackson, Northside Drive, County line Road, now have shootings and criminal activity out of proportion with rest of the city. In Jackson that's a hell of a lot. Some of these apartments that were once very nice are now flat out dangerous. Many of these same dwellers are now moving into the apartments in Clinton. Bless their hearts they are human beings, they are children of God. But they will give the police and the school district challenges they have not had in the past. If that offends you, If you find that to be racist, too bad.

10:20 - Perhaps you'll check state law on a county's obligation to provide educational services to its residents. Canton can barely accommodate the illegals in the trailer park.
