Jackson Jambalaya

I noticed on the news people being interviewed about the crime in Jackson.
One man complained that the city didn't provide the kids with jobs or have any thing to keep them entertained.
Why does he think it is the city's place to entertain and provide work for his kids? Shouldn't he be the one who does that? He is the one who had them. The least he could do is instill some pride and honesty in his kids.
Maybe he is waiting for the city to do that for him also.

The people in Jackson believe the police should enforce the law against signs in store windows. I think they should enforce the crime of murder instead.
They seem to have their priorities mixed up.

The signs are tacky and makes it hard to see in the store.
The same signs in a Madison / Ridgeland / Rankin store would still be tacky..
...But they'd lack the local criminal element that are the real problem...

So the signs caused the shoot out?

Buy bitcoin here. I didn't expect to see that sign.

@11:22 PM, signs don't shoot back and there is no investigation involved. That's why the JPD chooses to enforce the law against store window signs instead of the law against murder.

Just another distraction for the poor, uneducated and ill-informed designed to keep them poor, uneducated and ill-informed (and Democrats act like Republicans have the dumbest constituents…Bwahahahahahahahahahaha).

11:18 PM, you asked why? For the simple answer just search “give a man a fish, teach a man to fish.”

11:22 PM, mixed up priorities are by leftist Democrat Party design.

Same reason Democrat controlled cities keep “blessing” (as KF puts it) violent criminals via a catch and release revolving door system

i.e. not enforcing current laws (all designed to keep crime high)

then proposing new gun laws for the purpose of going after honest law abiding tax paying productive members of society, that don’t vote Democrat.

Control, Control, Control…the Leftist Democrat modus operandi.

Cue worn out Tesla song.

Too many signs are sold at sign shows without background checks. We're an open carry state where anybody can walk around with a sign.

#1-Theres a lot for kids to do in Jackson. Its full of museums, parks, athletic fields, restaurants, stores, live music, and churches with youth centers. Its BS to say theres nothing to do. Well, perhaps no pro athletics..but there's JSU, Belhaven, Millsaps--they all have sports. So do the local high schools.

Its a choice-a young person who has a crappy home life sees his friends with bling and guns. They choose the thug life for easy money.

#2-jobs. Plenty of places around here for teens to have jobs. Fast food worker-plenty of people get their start there. Retail. Mow lawns. Babysit. All of those are jobs. Again--they don't have the income potential of drug dealer, but those new shoes are expensive. The choice for easy money wins again.

#3-Role of Government. Last time I checked, there are plenty of programs for youth that are free and on the taxpayer tab-at the city, county, state, and federal levels. Play basketball at the boys and girls club of MS or make money on the street. The choice for dough wins again.

I think it's choice. The thug life can be lucrative. But your chance of living a long life is low while immersed in it. Choosing NOT to do it may be much harder-but in the end its still a choice.

Wow, jump on the Dems for this one. Do you really think the Republican Mayor of Madison would stand for this? Absolutely not. This is a city ordinance issue. It looks tacky and sloppy. I would think the store owner would want them clear so they could see what is going on in the parking lot or gas pumps. Regardless, the solution is simple. Have code enforcement do their job and cite these gas stations and stores. That will clean them up real quick.

someone teach Tillman how to wear a mask please!

You are correct about the Queen and as you wrote, it is simply a matter of enforcing the laws on the books.

The funny part here is blaming homicides on the signs. The City Council went on that tangent Tuesday, much to the Chief's relief.

First it was the flag and the statues, now it's the signs? Seriously? This is as bad as some Christians thinking an inanimate object is sinful. The root of the problem is the human race, not some inanimate object. The heart of mankind is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked.

“ Why does he think it is the city's place to entertain and provide work for his kids? Shouldn't he be the one who does that? He is the one who had them. The least he could do is instill some pride and honesty in his kids.
Maybe he is waiting for the city to do that for him also.

Because the Left believe in mommy and daddy government to feed you, take care of you, cloth you, protect you, tell you what to think, what to wear, etc. and it goes back to the “it takes a village” debate

Maybe they could replace all those sign covered windows with really nice brick........(no...I did not say throw the really nice bricks THROUGH...the windows)

Still waiting on that Asteroid.

When signs are outlawed only outlaws will have signs.

Jackson's "straw man" excuse.

@6:09
Many of these bodega type stores sell novelty potmetal coins with logos for Etherium, Bitcoin, etc. and they know their jr high drop out customers will never know the difference. Most of them will put the trinket on a chain and wear it with a coat covered in (public domain) Apollo and STS mission patches, and an unofficial Tesla Motors T-shirt (also sold in the convenience store)

Reminds me of the scene from “The Jerk” where Navin Johnson thinks the sniper assassin is targeting cans.
“ he hates these cans.... more cans”- he was born poor in Mississippi too!

Jackson has had a sign ordinance for years. The biggest offender is named
KENNETH STOKES, city councilman. Mr. Stokes has been putting his signs on city utility poles, stop signs, wherever FOR YEARS without enforcement. EVERYBODY KNOWS ABOUT IT including the police. How can they start enforcing the law against everyone else? The Chief knows it but what can he say?
It's Jackson.

9:34...thank you!! Amazing that is what they have to talk about given the City’s real issues

Lumumba is violating the ordinance regarding the proper placement of political signs all over Jackson. Can we get that law enforced?

it seems to me that sign ordnances are a violation of an individual’s constitutionally protected freedom of speech. Please correct me if I am wrong. And the constitution also protect non citizens so Kumar and Pujeet have the freedom to speak their mind as well.

Living in Jackson truly is better. I am rich, I have a degree from Ole Miss, and I live in Madison and I can’t buy bitcoin at any stores near me! To be honest I don’t even know what bitcoin is but I know we can’t buy it in Madison!

This store is always surrounded by rift raft. They even do bonfires at night. Not only is it a public nuisance but it's a nest for drugs and violence. The last thing that matters are the signs in the window when the parking lot and lot next to it is a haven for users and homeless people. I feel sorry for the people who live on Ludlow Ave they have to listen to the arguing and the shooting all night.

My favorite sign inside of these stores:

" For Tobacco Use Only"

"rift raft" 2:17?

Good old "riff raff" not good enough for you? ;-)

@12:55 people with generational wealth don’t brag about it bc it’s already known .. I’m betting you have a mortgage

THIS JUST IN! CONTEST OVER! FOR THE WIN...

"We're an open carry state where anybody can walk around with a sign."

Someone show Charles Tillman the proper way to wear a mask correctly

Have you been hurt as a result of exposure to a c-store or other business sign?
Make that one call, that’s all...
We can get you the money you deserve...

"Sign, Sign
Everywhere a sign
Blockin' out the scenery
Breakin' my mind "


My fellow Boomers will understand those lyrics.
