Jackson Jambalaya

I don’t remissed leaving Jackson

The clientele will find another place after this one shutters it’s doors.

The locusts ate West Jackson 25 years ago, and left it in rubble. They then turned to South Jackson 15 years ago, and ate it to the core, leaving nothing but criminal misery and destruction. The locusts are now concentrating on fertile and formerly innocent Northeast Jackson, fully realizing they can feast there with no reprisal as the city's leader lives there and is as mute as a wooden Indian regarding the carnage.

Sad state of affairs in Jackson getting followed and shot over a parking spot.

How does one not know that they have been shot go home, go to bed and die. Were they not bleeding?

Serious question: what law allows the city to shut down a business if their patrons break the law off their property? Would the same laws allow other businesses such as gun shops to be shut down in similar fashion?

If you shut down everything in Jackson that is the site of a killing [or two or three], there's not going to be much left.

If you don't want to get shot don't hang out with thugs at 3:00 AM when you should be home with your 2-year old. Where is your baby daddy? Duh!

Insensitive? The truth hurts because it should. Life's tough, and it's tougher when you do stupid things.

If one is going to step off their porch and play with the big dogs you had better be packing heat too.

No one ever deserves that but she was starting a new job a day later and was at the bar at 3 am arguing over parking spots... and has a 2 year old. Decision making at its finest. I hope they catch the person who did it and punish them with the full extent of the law.

"If you shut down everything in Jackson that is the site of a killing [or two or three], there's not going to be much left."

There isn't much left now.

9:02. Thank you. Spot on.

Jackson murders now @ 12. +3 in last 24 hours. 2021 YE Projection @ rate now an astounding 168.

This, here, a total load of garbage:

We are presented with a new day here in Jackson....

It is a day which brings forth the promise of a new system of governance that is shared by the people and influenced by the people of Jackson.

This day also presents new challenges. We find ourselves confronted with an opportunity to continue on the prosperous path that we have set out on, or returning to the stagnant place from which we came.

With my candidacy I offer the People’s Platform that my father ran on and I co-authored. It is a platform which arises out of several years of discussion on human rights, political, economic, and social empowerment.

We will rebuild our infrastructure, we will create jobs for Jacksonians, we will provide holistic solutions to crime, and we will improve our educational system.

When we made the decision to introduce ourselves into electoral politics back in 2008 we stated then that we were running on an agenda of compassion, justice, and human rights.

That’s our story and we’re sticking to it!

9:35 AM
You know I have the same question. When I was living in Clinton I lived right off East Northside Drive. I would take it to Downtown Jackson and pass by Nitelyfe. I know it got shut down over several shootings (if I remember correctly numbering about 3 maybe 4) back sometime between 2015 and 2017.

Some of these comments are harsh. Where her child's father was while she was out does not make any difference. What does mater is that a young mother is dead and the crime in this city is out of hand. The City leadership does need to do better andaddress the issue and stop making excuses. I don't think the MBAR should be shut down but no bar needs to be open at 3am.

To all the ignorant commenters that didn’t have nothing but cruel things to say: Miserable people live miserable lives... So for you to comment evil and hateful things I really feel sad for you. Someone has just lost their life what should it matter about her freaking baby dad or how someone not know their bleeding. At this point, who really care because a precious life was taken from someone’s family senselessly. What if it was your love one you wouldn’t want someone to talk negatively over their deceased body. But, if you took out the time to speak negatively about someone that’s DECEASED that you don’t even know you would do it to anyone(including your family). I just hope you miserable and devil 👿 worshipping people change your ways. Jesus is coming back and he’s coming even if you don’t believe he’s real. Praying for the family and that justice is served for the clowns that’s responsible.

Wow. How many of you knuckleheads went to the Dock, On the Rocks, Subway, and of course, Pops until the wee hours of the morning when you were 25?

12:06, the difference is nobody got murdered there. These thug bars breed gunfights.

Main Harbor, Tubby's Tavern, Edgewater, Subway Lounge.......I DID ! ! ! !!

I crawled out of the Subway a few times. Just before daylight and gorging myself on Miss Karen's fried chicken.

If the population that frequents these night spots could act like civilized human beings who don't resort to guns as their go-to solution for every conflict, there wouldn't be so much backlash and criticism against nightlife in Jackson.

well, today in the news, the mayor is saying it doesn't matter how many officers we hire, and then he rambles on w/ more excuses......and Stokes states that the CITY needs to do something about this violent crime, and not that I disagree w/ Stokes, but I have to wonder if he realizes that he is 1/7 of THE CITY (i.e municipal leadership)....the council needs to call the mayor out on his inaction and rhetoric, and the council needs to stop waiting on direction, and push the mayor aside

"We will rebuild our infrastructure, we will create jobs for Jacksonians, we will provide holistic solutions to crime, and we will improve our educational system."

Well, the infrastructure is worse, the Mayor's new jobs and improved education plan appears to be non existent . . . and we all know this
goofy "holistic solutions to crime approach" damn sure hasn't worked.

BUT. . . the Mayor of Jackson, Mississippi does always look very debonair each time he has a 2 minute interview on MSNBC.

" If the population that frequents these night spots could act like civilized human beings who don't resort to guns as their go-to solution for every conflict, there wouldn't be so much backlash and criticism against nightlife in Jackson."

" Wow. How many of you knuckleheads went to the Dock, On the Rocks, Subway, and of course, Pops until the wee hours of the morning when you were 25? "

LOL.

Both of the above observations are the truth !

Hell, I was still watching the Sunrise in the Dock's parking lot when I was 31.

Sure, fights were not uncommon after 1 A.M, but for God's sake . . . we didn't shoot each other.

11:45 With the exception of your last 2 sentences, the rest of your completely off-base comments are indicative of why this city cannot and will not change. It's terribly sad that this young woman lost her life, but it came as a direct consequence to the decisions she made. Am I saying I made better decisions than her when i was her age? Absolutely not! I look back at those times, and it's a wonder I survived myself!.....but I have to be honest and realize that the consequences I DID encounter were normally about 99.9% as a result of the decisions I made. I'm just fortunate that I didn't grow up in these current times, where altercations routinely end up with someone dying! That would have been unfathomable in the places I went in Jackson 30 years ago. Of course, it happened....but not EVERYWHERE in Jackson.

The majority of the residents of Jackson are now cultivating a society that's unsustainable, a society that simply can't continue to function like this. It's crass, and self-serving, and unproductive, and meaningless, and many times deadly .....yet the majority of the "leaders" of this city simply see nothing wrong with it. It's the culture in which their constituents live, and they're happy to look the other way, just so long as too many of their votes aren't taken away from death or incarceration or...... On the other hand, those who feign outrage just make empty statements about it, and then do zero about it. And truthfully, if we really look hard at the situation, there's not just a whole hell of a lot they CAN do about it! It's just a cultural decline that has to be dealt with from within the culture, yet the "leaders" appear to be fomenting more of it! Damndest thing I've ever seen!

You can claim you're incredulous about the comments on JJ, but at the end of the day, people are just commenting on how Jackson now operates. Until the residents decide they want to start living in a real "society," NOTHING in Jackson will change. It'll just keep getting worse year by year......as it has been for MANY years now. If I'm wrong on this, please change my mind...................

The "People's Platform"...is an evidently an "Autopsy Table".

4:02 pm

You are correct.

That’s why I operate a moving company. I help move poor people to Madison the city. I help move poor people to Brandon.

No one wants to be around Jackson so it’s time to get out.

Rankin has zero regulations on apartments so builders are buying up land and making plans for 1,000s of new residents.

You are right...Jackson is doomed....

4:02 Please go find the nearest ocean and jump your off base miserable living of a pathetic life in there. I said what I said and meant exactly what I meant. You obviously don’t get any attention at home you felt the need to come on here and give a whole sermon on the city of Jackson. If you don’t live in the city you 🤡 who gives to donkeys about what you even have to say. Express sympathy and move on you AIRHEAD.

8:36 I see what you did there. Good try.
