Jackson Jambalaya

Is this the new city plan Antard was crowing about at his press conference yesterday? I missed it because I'm too busy trying to make money, pay taxes and protect my business while living on the edge of an urban warzone.

Lumumba is a clown. This job is just a stepping stone to become somebody's VP candidate, or to become Bennie's protege.

What does Universal Pre-K have to do with fighting crime?

"an unwed birthrate that is over 80% for the black community in Jackson"

Until you change this, nothing else matters. And, I don't know how you're going change an entire group of people's mentality when they have a "don't give a f*ck" attitude"

Paraphrasing a quote attributed to Bear Bryant when he asked a lineman he was about to put in the game if he was going to the plug the hole in the line, the young man replied, "I will do my best coach". Bryant replied, "sit down son, I already have people doing their best, I need someone who will get the job done". You may have some people doing their best in Jackson, but it isn't good enough, not even close. Now, good luck finding someone who is capable in Jackson that would be willing to run for Mayor in a place like Jackson. Even if that person existed, he or she would never be elected. Leonard's Loser in a blow out: Jackson.

11:31, simple quit paying for children, no matter what race.

My plan:

"Lock his ass up."

it says a lot that kenneth stokes welcomes federal help for policing jackson and the mayor lies about
it.

let that sink in. Kenneth Stokes is actually seeking a real solution to the crime problem. He knows there’s a problem and wants to try to solve it. Kenneth Stokes. It’s that bad that even He-king of “throw rocks, sticks, and bricks at police cars” is asking for help.

How can the mayor be this lost? Even Kenneth Stokes would be an upgrade at mayor at this point in time!

I think 12:48 hit the nail on the head! Quit incentivizing people production and you get less of it! Sounds harsh, I know, but the people having them are in 100% control of their future in that regard. If taxpayers continue to fund bad choices (at least TAXPAYERS consider those choices to be bad), nothing changes...........

It's the only thing that hasn't been tried since the Democrats dreamed it up in the first place, so why not give it a shot?

" Leonard's Loser in a blow out: Jackson."

Gawd, I loved Leonard's Losers. He was great every Fall weekend . . . (predicting SEC games for those those that have never heard of him).

Anyway, back to the topic.
I couldn't believe Lumumba once again used the liberal buzz phrase "holistic approach" in his mini tirade yesterday.

Hell, I wish someone would apply a damn "holistic approach" to the pot holes in the streets of Jackson.

Labamba, the city council and most of you guys don't get it. It ain't the police and it ain't the criminal justice system. While they can be very effective after a crime has been committed, they cannot stop these crimes. We are witnessing a culture that has abandoned the acceptance of civility. Don't you people get it??? Our system of government, our laws were never meant to deal with people so out of control. I don't know what the answer is, but it damn sure ain't anything that I've seen on this website.

Yeah 3:09, most of us do "get it".

And many of us agree with you . . . for the most part . . . ( except for your views regarding the criminal justice system).

You must be new Kingfish's blog.

“No plan survives first contact with the enemy". They and we should know this from history, World as well as Jackson, MS. As others on here have said, Next.

"Oh yes, while they were expanding much hot air about social programs, not one word was said about the leading factor that causes crime and poverty: an unwed birthrate that is over 80% for the black community in Jackson."

A City cannot fix this. However, a City can fully staff their police department to saturate the City with officers who can deter and solve crimes to get the repeaters off of the streets.

I do see a point on the chart that has been fully implemented and achieved... Real-time crime center.
Hell, this should be the new name of the city! It’s a center slap full of real-time crime. The “holistic” talk comes from Whole Foods. He lunches there often, with many many “security” guys. Cause ya know... the hippies.

Kingfish, you should know that constantly attacking Black leaders is racist as fuck. You are always quick to attack Black Mayors, Black Judges, Black Councilpersons, Black Sheriffs, Black Police Chiefs, Black Public Works Directors, and you promote far more Black crime stories than white crime stories.

Serious question. Are there any legitimate candidates to take on Lubumba? Is he mayor for life until Benny retires or croaks and then he goes to Congress.

@10:20 I really thought we'd hit bottom with Yarber, then Lumumba came along and we've scraped the bottom of the barrel. I shudder to think of anyone worse who could win - Jackson can't survive another term of incompetence and corruption.

" I really thought we'd hit bottom with Yarber "

I had honestly forgotten about Yarber.
He WAS a piece of work . . . but he was a statesman when compared to baby Lumumba.

I didn't agree with anything (Lumumba the First) proclaimed, but at least one could tell he was a real man.

As Mr. Kim Wade says, love him or hate him . . . he did spew testosterone when he walked into a room.

Duck and take cover!
