Jackson Mayor calls Attorney General and U.S. Attorney "outside agitators."
Jackson Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba is holding a press conference right now. It is streamed below.
* Mayor calls critics "outside agitators." Hmm..., where have we heard that term before? He said few, if any of them, live in Jackson. He also thanked the Bloomberg crowd for its support.
* The Mayor is renewing the stay at home order. It will expire on May 15. Non-essential businesses must remain closed but can perform curbside and delivery services. Employees must follow social distancing and wear face masks when coming within 6 feet within another customer.
* All businesses must have hand sanitizer.
* Yet another reporter asks when the order expires after he gave an expiration date.

Power over people! Power over people! Power over people!
Why aren't they social distancing? Why isn't he or the officer behind him wearing a mask?
fake news. crime rate in jackson isn’t slowing due to covid 19.
It sounds like Second Amendment advocates need to put up or shut up. Time to rally round your families. Time to march for your rights!
I wonder what his reaction would be if one million openly armed Mississippians surrounded Jackson City Hall and showed Antard that he isn't more powerful than the Bill of Rights and Constitution of the United States of America?
I call his "thugs" who come into Madison causing crime "outside agitators."
This is just so funny how he is playing all the gun zealots, not your everyday sportsman of course, because they are laughing along with the mayor, at you, Finch, the US Attorney and anyone else who doesn't realize that the mayor is toying with you just because he can. He would also love for this to go viral and raise his national exposure in the progressive movement. Keep playing into his hands.
He knows like everyone else that gun rights will always prevail in Mississippi, some of us might be hunting Squirrel in the neighborhood soon.
I didn’t think the Lumamba Derangement Syndrome could spread any further, but impressively it has. It’s hilarious how little it takes to set off the crazies.
I did say something about bait, did I not?
Never forget that the 2nd is there to protect the 1st
I'm calling on Kim Wade to organize another protest. This time for Gun Rights. The seditious leftwing media can't twist the optics into a race issue if the protests are led by a black American 2A patriot.
I wouldn't even care if street thugs happened so show up too. Because I guarantee the protest will remain peaceful since everyone will be heavily armed.
The guy is just dumb.
Not smart enough to realize the inherent contradiction in thanking the Bloomberg-funded anti-gun groups on the one hand, and chastising "outside agitators" critical of his policies.
He speaks better than Stokes. But he's not as smart.
Kush me-
Never has than been a 'legend in his own mind" larger than this Mayor.
Folks he's not talking to people in Mississippi much less Jackson. You have been used like a milk cow.
2:04 and 2:34 You sound like the kind who would have pulled the horse into Troy to show those arrogant Greeks who's boss. Antar would LOVE for you and your friends especially some real hard core wingnuts (right) to show up with guns marching down Capitol Street. Jackson MS. and Covid-19 fight for the top story on CNN, MSNBC,CBS, New York Times, etc. Make HIS Day!
Hey, junior, you're going to lose the airport fight as well.
Around the 9:25 mark, this idiot says 'grooming services' can remain open with telephonic or drive through
services.
I don't know about anyone else, but I've never had a 'drive through' haircut.
(And what the hell is telephonic grooming) ?
This clown is funnier than than the original SNL comedy troupe.
Renewing the stay at home until May 15? Nope.....I'm done.
If he thinks his "gun ban" is doing so much good why hasn't he renewed it? 'Nuff said!
Hehe always have liked the little portable battery powered podium and microphone. Reminds me of the "Mr. Microphone".... 'hey good lookin' I'll be back to pick you up later..."
No little Choke just because you and Stokes have run Jackson into the ground White people are still allowed to have an opinion and No just because someone disagrees with you they are not racist. I hope this little publicity stunt gets you a big raise in Liberal circles you run in
2nd amendment as matter of fact any of those amendments mean nothing to me I am the mighty Little Choke. Why dont you stand up there and say I am asking all my black brother and sisters to give up their guns. Look at the stats of the shootings this year in the city of Jackson what percentage white and what percentage black. I bet its 99 % to 1%
Jackson; The city with soul.
How can he extend the shelter in place longer than the Gov. Shelter in place?
I wonder who his outside sugar daddies are.
If you think this guy is stupid, you’re stupid.
An average of OVER one aggravated assault with a gun PER DAY and nearly FIFTEEN shots fired calls PER DAY in the last SIXTEEN months! (And those were only the ones who were caught or reported!)
Who says there's nothing going on in Jackson, MS?
It's difficult to even grasp the magnitude of those JPD-generated statistics!
The 21st amendment proves that what goes up can come down. And while Mississippi was 35 years accepting the inevitable trashing of the 18th it was trashed as will the 2nd and it won't matter if Mississippi doesn't accept that for 100 years. Mississippi is always S-L-O-W and usually last in everything worthwhile.
This is obviously the puppeteer working the puppet, but still so elementary.
5:25, I don't think he's stupid, just not as smart he thinks he is. He's creating controversy in his own city, apparently for the sole purpose of self-aggrandizement.
"He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind, and the fool shall be servant to the wise of heart."
4:10 for the win!
Mayor who? One and done. Pffft.
They will never get it, they are making him a national star. You have just begun to hear from him.
Let me tell you first off mayor ludumba... I do live in Jackson and most of your neighbors in NE Jackson and fondren and belhaven think your a dummy. Also are sick of the mandate. We're the ones paying the taxes after all. Your a useless puppet and a shill of a man on a good day. Your a incompetent person to put it kindly. You couldn't make it in the private world for 2 weeks.
I doubt “your” paying any taxes @10:10pm.
