A carjacking occurred in Belhaven last night. The landlord stated in an email:
Last night about 10:00 p.m., 4 young African-American males robbed our apartment tenant at gunpoint and stole her car. This happened at xxx Hazel Street. This happened in a driveway on our property right outside our bedroom window. The tenant, a young woman who was getting off from work and was in scrubs, came running to us, screaming, as the perpetrators drove off. Thank God she wasn't hurt.
JPD and the HCSO are on it. One of the males was wearing an orange jacket.

Video of poor quality, at least on the monitor I was watching on. Sorry that this lady went through this. I have steered as many folks that I could from setting up residence in Belhaven. You'd also think that these folks would have smartened up some about coming and going at night. Can't be friends to everyone. Carrying a weapon may have been detrimental to her health based on her apparently being surprised.
You need an AR-15 when the government or mayor says you don't need an AR-15.
Listening to the audio. Why is she having a conversation with them and not running away?
I bet Lumumba doesn't say a word about it. #next
12:25, there are 4 of them and presumably they are faster than her. If you don't have a gun, your best bet for survival is to comply. Up to a point of course.
Even if you are armed and your life, or the life of another, is not in immediate danger, compliance is your best bet. Outnumbered 4 to 1, with fine motor skills failing, even if you did manage to hit one of the carjackers, what is the immediate follow-on plan? And consider this - this victim, yes the victim of the carjacking would face a Hinds County grand jury with an overzealous prosecutor...you would be financially ruined defending yourself. Not to mention deadly force to protect property is illegal, and in Jackson they would throw the book at YOU, and turn the carjackers into the victims.
Unless your life is in danger, and you are confident in your skills, give up your property and pay the deductible.
Who wants to bet that these fine young folks were out on bond for something else??
If only Mayor La-Dumb-Da had extended his open carry ban, this tragic situation could have been avoided
"If you don't have a gun, your best bet for survival is to comply."
Statistically that is false. Generally safer to run/fight/resist, even when you are unarmed and the perp is armed. This is from the DOJ/Bureau of Justice Statistics.
@1:52. Most likely a given. Article stated they were armed and I'd venture a guess they didn't purchase the weapon at any credible store nor have a CCP. Open carry I'd assume since wheel chock's open carry BS expired. Just glad she was just shaken up and not killed, injured or carried away for use later.
12:25 an analogy for you....don’t ever run from a pack of feral dogs, they will chase you down and kill you. Unless she was specifically trained to react to such a situation, she is completely dumbfounded on what to do other than respond. Notice she did so respectfully. She reverted to her work habits, something she does everyday.
If Lamumbalot had just backed the curfew up to 10:00 and stuck by his open carry edict, this would never have happened. Thank God these young gentlemen didn’t decide to kill her. Get out of Jackson Lady, make a 30 minute commute. It’s worth it to save your life.
These young men were just trying to get home before the 11:00 curfew.
If the Mayor wants to make a difference, its easy, run off the crappy judges.
This is the crap that happens in the one state that doesn't have wrestling. All four them probably think they are tough but really aren't if unarmed.
Why did one of those Belhaven neighborhood associations take down the street signs and put in smaller ones that don't reflect at night? Couldn't have that money gone to better use by putting cameras up in the neighborhood? Some of those association people have the crappiest yards in the neighborhood by the way.
This turns my stomach. I know crime happens everywhere so I’m not hating on Jackson. But your odds are not good as a woman in Belhaven, at night, getting off work. The houses are pretty, the mature landscaping is beautiful, and the convenience to the medical area is perfect. But it’s not worth the risk. So glad that she wasn’t hurt. Could have been so much worse. Sad that when you’re only carjacked in Jackson, you’re considered lucky!
Why is this wonderful city so fucked? Can’t anyone grab hold of things before our capital city becomes more of a joke. Or do the citizens of Mississippi even care about history or pride?
Belhaven- Get out while you can!
If she happened to be armed, and took control of the situation, she would have lost everything she worked for trying to defend herself from the Hinds County Justice system. That's the way it works over there and another reason to just stay away from Hinds County. It's not the possibility of a crime being committed, but if you gain the upper hand during the attack, you're the low man(or woman) on the totem pole trying to defend yourself. Sometimes the juice just isn't worth the squeeze.
You all know Lumumba is in way over his head. Remember this is the same moron that blamed the burbs for his lazy ass to reopen Jackson. I do live in Jackson and I won't vote for his ass again. I live a block away from him and I can't stand the sight of his face.
Look, at this point it’s your fault for staying in Jackson. You should know by now and long ago have fled. Anything that happens to you folks that stay, that’s on you. I don’t get why some people have some sort of sentimentality towards the 3rd world lawless shit hole Jackson has become. But by all means, stay. You guys make closer, easier targets than those of us folks out in the burbs.
I've got just the thing those feral animals needed. I have a CCW and I do carry but I've also got a very well trained German Shepherd that would have ripped them to bits. Protection dogs are trained entirely different than police dogs. Police dogs grab an arm and hold on. Kaiser will just rip you to shreds wherever he can get his teeth. He will stop when I tell him to stop or when he stops breathing.
For all those thinking they can physically handle a trained dog. You don't have a clue. If you're one of those that takes convincing I'm sure there's some way we can arrange contact through this blog with the Fish's permission. I will write a $5,000 check and put it in my shirt pocket and it's yours if you can get it.
In instances where society is falling apart and law enforcement is lax or absent trained dogs have saved many lives.After apartheid there were many instances of single dogs repelling whole groups. Aside from being your best friend they may save your life.
I just hope Nextdoor can go back to solving more important issues such as the one solved during the extensive discussion of the lack of masks being worn at a recent trip to Home Depot.
Please give these little boys a break.
They were not in violation of Antard's "curfew".
They had one hour left !
They are only victims of White racism .
Thank keys one way. Run the opposite way screaming “Fire.” It’s the only way to get others involved.
Okay, I'll make another attempt.
For some reason KF protects these perps and will not allow my comment labeling them as ROACHES. (As has been these case before in events such as this) Is that a racist comment to him? Can only suppose he's attempting to protect the vanity of roaches.
KF, you're overly sensitive. I now regret my annual contributions.
I grew up in Chicago and came to Mississippi for UMC residency... I've been here 10 years now and live in fondren. Apparently it's an open secret to talk about race. In Chicago it's nothing like Jackson demographic wise. Chicago is around 30% black in the city alone. Less than that when include the burbs. I just am blown away when people here get upset when mentioning the race of the carmaker or home invader. It's obviously a southern issue considering the South has by far the vast majority of blacks compared to other regions in the US. Help me out here...
4:28 I couldn't have said it better myself. I grew up in Jackson, and when it got to the point that I didn't feel safe when my wife was home alone, we left. Period. And we lived in fashionable NE Jackson!
I hate that Jackson has become what it's become, but unlike 3:12, I know EXACTLY why! Unfortunately, Jackson is officially "DONE," because the reason Jackson is now what it is is NEVER going to change - in fact, it's going to get worse. And the people making it worse will applaud the fact that it's getting worse, because it's now THEIR city. Hide and watch.
In the meantime, I have NO sympathy for those of you who chose to live there. If you're one of those "I'm not gonna let them run me out of my city" types, you're just going to have to be willing to live with the consequences of your lunacy. And if you choose to fight back, just remember that you will be tried by a jury of THEIR peers, not yours.....
@7:37 and 8:49 PM
If you think that's bad try getting a relevant comment that names politicians with dual citizenship past Kingfish.
I think there are some Belhaven residents who will remind you that crime in Belhaven is a perception problem.
Great Things JXN
8:49 that's the way we've been conditioned post Slavery/Jim Crow. We are to be perpetually indebted to not call a spade a spade because some people we have never met did something to their relatives they have never met.
If I had properties to rent, the last thing I would do is advertise the fact that violent crime is rampant at or near them. This is not a test - It's an IQ examination.
Chokwe has $6 million dollars in animals that he has no idea what to do with.
He is in the same boat with these animals.
I believe there are some good people in Jackson who are tired of the crime. I blame it on the Hinds County Justice System. It is time to clean house and vote everyone out of office and start over again.
The Karens that run Nextdoor Belhaven have now taken down the post and comments on this carjacking. Political correctness supersedes public safety.
And the cuckold men do nothing.
" if you did manage to hit one of the carjackers, what is the immediate follow-on plan?"
That's all it would take.
Kill one of them.
And the rest would scatter.
( Kind of like encountering roaches in one's kitchen at 2am) .
Kill one roach and then twenty roaches will run for their lives.
It's the same principle with carjacking thugs,
" The Karens that run Nextdoor Belhaven have now taken down the post and comments on this carjacking. Political correctness supersedes public safety".
Anything about the carjacking on the Fondren sites ?
As was stated earlier she did all she could do . If she had defended herself the media would have said these youths were just asking for directions and she was a racist killer. I bet she put a for sale sign on the house the next morning I know I would have.
If I’m going to put up with carjackings, rampant crime, high taxes, broken infrastructure, horrible roads, and abysmal Democrat leadership, I’ll move to New Orleans. The sinking ship of Jackson is nowhere near cool enough to outweigh all of that.
If Lumumba would let the good officers do their jobs, things like this would not happen nearly as much. He's running good officers off as if he has an agenda (or is serving some criminal special interest. It has nothing to do with "Democrat." It has everything to do with a mayor reaching into the police department where mayors don't belong.)
His incompetent chief of police does nothing the mayor doesn't want to be done. That's why he is chief. Lumumba is a joke.
