Jackson Jambalaya

Abandon all hope
Ye who enter here

KF, This is getting ridiculous!

Crime should be the number one issue in Jackson's elections next year. Hopefully several will step up for the city council and Mayor's races to stand up for those folks who can't afford to move out of Jackson.

Will the last honest person please turn out the lights when you leave.

Where is this? Is this anywhere near the Fondren?

This is one on Bailey Ave. is #108. A body was found on Adkins near Ridgewood will probably be #109. Man shot on Horton St. (not Horton Ave. as WJTV reports) is in critical condition and may become #110.

Was this the first or second one on Bailey Avenue today? The six o’clock news said there were two today (so far).

Real question here... when will the voters n Jackson elect people who want the best for Jackson? Not just stump for the black folks but a real leader/judge/DA/ council person... on other words, “How’s this working out for ya, citizens of Jackson?”

Maybe shooting people has become a fad in Jackson.

6:04, never abandon hope!

America’s innocent children deserve that we never abandon hope for them.

Every single politician, judge, preacher (especially those drawing their huge 6 figure incomes from “tithes”), every so-called journalist and professor should be ashamed that we’ve allowed America’s children to be subjected to the criminal atmospheres that they now have to grow up in.

So THIS is what being "the most radical city on the planet" looks like...

"Abandon all hope Ye who enter here" was first found in Dante's Divine Comedy. Back then it was referred to as a Poem divided into three parts: Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso. (Hell, Purgatory, Paradise). Good reading actually (read these in HS/College). I'm not sure comedy is what I would call the murders and shooting we have going on around here.

Come on KF, it's time to wake up and start approving comments. Reveille, reveille, reveille, reveille!!!

...he would like to see more effort put into mental health, food security, and jobs.

“When people are suffering at the hands of evictions. When people are suffering at the hands of not being employed and not being able to put dinner on the table all of that is a recipe for increased violence and increased harm on our community”, said the Mayor.

The majority demographic of voters in Jackson vote for people who promise them more free stuff, period.

Hey...on another note we have a zoo! Well...maybe...sorta...kinda...but we have acidic water to keep the crocodiles away in the Pearl...sorta...kinda...I’m thinkin alligators....maybe swamp monsters...but we have a new Amusement park at Metro...maybe....sorta....kinda...come on guys! Y’all aren’t helping me here...and maybe we can stop the panhandlers...sorta maybe...kinda sort of...

Jackson is a really bad city. I knew it was at its lowest point when Lonnie Taylor was murdered.

It’s gonna get worse.

Sorry, but this is not really news.
It's damn sad, but just a normal day in Jackson, Mississippi.

BTW . . . has the "The Mayor" commented on the Marriot's closure ?

Will the last law abiding citizen leaving Jackson please turn out the lights? Thank you.

The murder rate in Jackson has zero to do with politics. It is ALL the fault of the disintegration of the family in the black community. Single moms more concerned where their next joint and 40oz are coming from than where their children are or how they are being raised.

Those same conditions were in place three years ago when Vance was Chief yet the murders were a third lower than under Lumumba.

There was a shooting on Woodrow Wilson and Parkview Place last week that I have not seen reported on at all by local news outlets. From what I saw and heard, it appears the shooter was a City employee. The individual shot was homeless and out of his mind on something. He also caused multiple MVAs during his tirade so it was quite the show. I guess at some point things start slipping through the cracks. JPD to this point has done no crime scene investigation of any time. Pretty amazing.
