They thought they were in Hinds county which would have gotten them 5 years on probation. They must have skipped class the day they were to learn map reading.

That didn't take as long as I thought it would. 6 openings at Sunday School Class waiting to be filled. Loved the phrase "boys" getting thrown around in the article. Boys can kill as well as men.

This is how the legal system should work.

Take note, Lumumba and all of you sorry Hinds county judges. Conferences, consultants, social services and street parties don't stop crime.

What a difference a mile or two makes.

Damn we pay a toll to live here and put up with crap like this almost every day. Who ARE these people?

This should be required reading for every high school student in the metro area. CRIME DOES NOT PAY.

How much money in the grand scheme of things was this over--rights to sell marijuana at a park-- a couple thousand bucks...MAYBE.

Now you're in prison from age 20 to age 50.

Most importantly, an young innocent bystander lost his life.

Justice has been served.

I know they all Plead to charges but still wonder how much money we will spend on these fine upstanding members of society and wonder when they will be released due to Humanitarian reasons based on the current cold Covid.

That's always been one of our state's nicest little town parks.

I'm glad these perps were caught, and also given a chance to learn new life experiences . . . (behind bars).

No blessings in Madison Co.

If only Ridgeland had followed Baby Chok's "crime fighting" initiatives this would have never happened.

They are all just boys. Men get their butt out of bed every morning and go to school, go to work, go be productive. Boys hang out on the corner, live off of the government, and settle their disputes with a drive-by shooting. These cowardly boys don't have nuts big enough to be productive, walk the correct side of the line, and accomplish something in life. Prison is the best place for them. But nobody sentenced them to prison. They chose it.

“Systemic racism”

@4:21, if I’d known this was over pot dealing rights, i would have financially assuaged both parties equally, hundreds a month, for their services

Great; so we taxpayers now have to shell out around $200,000.00 a year to feed, house, clothe, medicate, entertain, etc. this group of idiots.

4:59. right. Be "holistic" (or is it "wholistic"?) while Rome burns. What an empty suit idiot.

6:02 yep... $$$ X 30 years... X 6 of em !!!

Too bad this isn't the 1700... 1800s... even 1900s

@7:24 PM - "Sarcasm" - look it up in the dictionary if you can read. This blog is mostly sarcasm. New around here?

Wrong county to commit an open face violent crime.

when this happened drove over to the court, calling it a park is a real stretch. Guess it cost to much and takes decades to execute murders.

Whose brilliant idea was it, to include BASKETBALL COURTS in the park?

And frankly, while parks and public recreational facilities seem part of the formula for small towns to get "livability" awards, I have to ask, ARE THEY WORTH IT? You see what they attract.

It's time to rethink...

I’m so thankful for Mississippi’s marijuana initiative 65. I’m just not sure why.

Is it because decriminalizing marijuana will make drug turf fights such as this one unnecessary? Or is it because it will make selling marijuana just another legal product and these fine upstanding “boys”, thus transforming them into “businessman”?

Trivia Question: Which U.S.President supported and funded 'midnight basketball' as the solution to young boys roaming the skreets, up to no good?

The program was intended to teach life skills, like teamwork, participation, clean and healthy living, role modeling and positive outcomes.

It was the notorious woolly Bill Clinton.

@3:54PM

The openings at Sunday School joke was hella funny. You’re the best thing to happen to comedy since Richard Pryor.
