Therese Apel: Bloody Friday in Jackson

 WLBT's Therese Apel called yesterday "Bloody Friday" after two people were killed and two children were shot.  Violent as it was, Bloody Friday was just another night in the 2021 edition of Jackson. Apel gave voice to her weariness in a Facebook video.

 It is a weariness born of seeing too many children killed while others struggle to survive in the hospital.  Good police officers are backstabbed by a criminal justice system that acts more as a criminal protection racket at times.  Politicians give phony dog and pony shows while blood runs in the streets.  She has a front row seat to the bloody mayhem every day while social media trashes her for picking on Jackson or a certain ethnic group.  She is an excellent reporter but it would take a robot not to be affected by what she reports.  Watch the video. 


One homicide was a homeless man who was shot to death on the railroad tracks by Mill Street.  The other homicide was probably retaliation.  A woman's ex-boyfriend saw her in a car with the replacement boyfriend  at the intersection of Northside Drive and Hanging Moss.  Outraged by the sight of the new man in her life, he allegedly shot several times in the car, striking an eight-year old girl and a two-year old boy.  They are in the hospital. The boyfriend allegedly tracked him down several hours later and shot him to death on Sunset Drive.

I tried to muster up the energy to comment on her video last night but outside of the children being shot Im having a hard time giving a shit about a bunch of folks that dont give a shit about themselves.

Mayor Flapjaw's curfew order should be kicking-in any day now, along with his Real-time Crime Center. Give it time, grasshopper.

WWBD (What would Bloomberg do?)

Thanks Kingfish for posting this. Therese Apel has been on the bloody streets for a long time and has some informed insights. This is not getting any better and there is no end in sight. It is going to take more than the mayor jabbering nonsense. Where are the nonpolitical black leadership such as the 100 Black Men? Where are the pastors? I talked to a young black teenager who's father is a friend. He told me that if you don't have a gun you're not respected. And if you're not respected you're in danger. The cops are doing all they can, but they're outnumbered and out-gunned. And even if they are arrested our judicial system and its many blessings put them back in society where the perps wear the arrest as a badge of honor. The answer? There isn't one until the Black leadership including Bennie step to the plate. And that ain't gonna happen.

And guess what the hood-rats were complaining about on FB?? Her now deleted tweet stating the fact that her personal plans are constantly uprooted by crime. Nothing hateful or wrong with her tweet... she reports in Jackson and the crime stats are through the roof. Is she not entitled to a wishful thought of a crime free night? Yes, she chose to be a crime reporter and because of that she ditches her personal preferences (likely daily) to report crimes. It was disgusting to see Cipher share a post digging at her when HE says things WAY WORSE than her and calls himself a journalist. Be fair or get out.

I wish to God my wife would let me/us move from this sad disaster of a place to live. Eastover is nice (with paid for off duty cops 24/7), but it ain't worth this chronic crap every single day. This element of sub humans we are suffering have infected our city unmercifully, and ruined it in the process. Thanks a lot.

Has been said, will say it again: this is what happens when a progressive, left leaning, pro-socialist government is in power. It’s the idea to break down a free society by not enforcing laws. That way martial law takes over and Marxist form of government is laid in place. Get ready!! The Lumumba’s support this!

As long as city leaders stay focused on their own image, rather than on the reality of life in Jackson, no actual work will be done.

We are becoming hardened to this reality. It's like me living beside the train tracks as a boy growing up. After six years, I never heard the train any more.

Ms. Apel adds a most personal, heartfelt dimension to the crises that few if any other reporters could - she's far more effective than Maggie Wade batting her eyelashes at the mayor like he's the most god-like thing she's ever seen.

Do you actually believe the City of Jackson government is progressive and Socialist? Like seriously, do you actually know what any of those terms actually mean?

2:44, not all liberals are communists, bent on domination. I'm not surprised I have to point that out, since we have become black-or-white, all-or-nothing thinkers.

Stated another way: If you won't just me by the worst of mine, I won't judge you by the worst of yours. Sound fair?

Its sad I don't now what to do nobody is harder on Little Chok than me but I dont know who can straighten this mess out after years of neglect. I still say steps. #1 make everyone in Jackson feel safe shopping and working in Jackson. #2 Fix the streets and get the water bills correct. Start with these two Just ones mans thoughts

These are the fruits of all of those college marxists of the 1960s that our grand parents warned us about! But baby boomers were too busy smoking dope and listening to shit music to take a stand against the subversion.

We will fall to their same subversions as Rome did.

Yes.....blame goes in this order: Covid, gun shows, open carry, Feel Bryant, Tate Reeves and, of course, Donald Trump.

Poor Antar and all the rest of the Jackson "progressives". As long as Jackson remains a virtual slaughterhouse the national media has to ignore this bold haven of progressive cooperative economics. Jackson was going to be the southern showcase. Too bad NBC, CBS, CNN, ABC, San Francisco News, etc. ...
and Lumumba had so much potential. Shucks.

Anonymous said...

Cry me a river Ms Apel. You talk about “showing more love to each other”, but it’s YOUR leftist ideas that have put Jackson in this position in the first place. Until the media stops kissing progressive’s a$$es and actually start asking some tough questions, you will continue to be ridiculed. You and your station are a joke. Jackson has made their bed. Let them sleep in it!

Well that curfew certainly helped. NOT

First thing I would start with would be the sewer system. I don't have any studies or statistics but I think that the major cause of road deterioration (besides usage) is foundational.

The second thing I would do is foster a business friendly environment. And the way I would do that would be double the police force.

The third thing I would do was get rid of judicial elections.

God bless Therese Apel for risking her life in Jackson, Mississippi,

I've always enjoyed her reports.

That girl should have moved on to larger markets years ago.

I am very thankful to have Therese Apel as a reporter in Jackson. Just my opinion, but she is our best for all the facts. May God bless her, these families affected, and the city of Jackson.

@3:30 while you are busy “not judging” more violence is happening right in your honey hole. Time to put up or shut up.

Anonymous said...

This "news" makes me want to puke.

In a sane world the community would rise up and exterminate the vermin responsible for shooting children as "collateral damage" in their lame-brain breeding ritual. And that is what it is.

The real scandal is that the that the victims, "the community," tolerate this stuff. How is it that nobody seems to mind, or, that they look to a dysfunctional law enforcement system for "protection?"

Oh, I forgot, they're too busy rutting. Nothing like concupiscence to divert attention from a little girl with a bullet in her head.

Where's a nice lynch mob when you really need one?

2:44. all those marxist nations had very low violent crime rates. very little murder/rape/violent fights.

we have now become a third world republic. wanna be dictator constantly showing how people need to live in fear because
of the constant threat of violence from certain groups. (within generally known areas). a typical radical right approach to seize power and keep the general population under control.

socialist europe has far more freedoms than we do. and they don’t have the crime/violence problem. the wealth gap was created to maintain a caste of power at the top

Anonymous said...

Hey, 8:56, been to France lately? More freedom, less crime. Try strutting around Gay Paree with your AR-15, or with your Saturday Night Special. "They don't have the crime/violence problem" is a false statement.

What you call "the wealth gap" was created by a nation of spoiled overfed people who expect to prosper by just sitting there.

25 years ago I met a couple of grad students at Ole Miss from an unnamed East Asian country. He could barely speak English but did just fine in his PdD program. He went to silicon valley for his first job and left his wife and baby here. I knew they were going to do well when he told me he loved Sundays b/c that's when he made his lunches for the entire week -- so he could work through lunchtime.

Here about 10 years ago I got a call, a pickup truck had pulled up next to them at an intersection and screamed, "Why don't you go back to Korea." They are not Korean, what did that mean? I told them, the next time that happens respond, b/c we don't own a bunch of real estate in upscale neighborhoods in Korea.

They closed the "wealth gap." Of course, they did not play fair, they actually worked.

According to 4:42, it's the media's fault for being soft on "progressives." I'm not sure what 12:01's point is, other than a gratuitous attack.

Those are about as constructive as a Mayor's press conference.

Another one bit the dust this afternoon. The WLBT homicide count is up to 16.

2:23- To your point, when was the last time Apel or ANYONE from the local media has asked the Mayor of Jackson a challenging question? All we ever see from her is reporting on the human condition of the losers caught in the violence, not much about policy.

Get this: Landlords (quoted in the article) are 'getting woke' to the notion that (gasp) people are now moving out of Jackson due to gun violence.

Get this: Chokwe still blames the homicide 'uptick' on Covid.

Get this: One person quoted blames the violence on crumbling neighborhoods. Hell, that's a symptom, not a cause!

Get this: At least two city councilmen are quoted as saying 'we don't have a plan'. Now ain't that the damned truth!

Mayor Gumflapper absolutely does have a plan. Can you guess what it is?

No one mayor could solve decades worth of issues and problems for any city. I still crack up at the idea of this. It is impossible for anyone to solve. Single parent families (some are great,) homeless, low rated schools, failing business, little corporate funding, little tourism, and massively huge tax base on low income. Whites/Asians/Blacks, need to stop abandoning their cities for the suburban cities. That is our only hope. I currently live in Rankin, because I can't even fathom putting a child into school in JPS. Nor could I when we moved here 18 years ago. I would love to support the city and believe it should have an enormous tax base in what I think is one of the most truly unique southern states. This state boasts and hosts so many successful people, artists, engineers, medical pros, and has overcome the worst of American History. No one mayor is going to solve it, but perhaps the citizens should now be voting in mayors who have a long term plan and stop voting in mouthpieces who do NOTHING to help. REALISM, is also a good plan, those momma's who have babies standing on the street corner dealing dope KNOW damn well their kid is doomed. They looked the other way rather than straighten out their kid. Those mommas are guilty. The very ones who are on the news screaming and carrying on like a wild banshees when their kid is murdered are responsible. Those police who ignore a radio call while attending an estate sale are guilty (I have observed twice when buying for internet sells.) I support the black pastors who try to speak up and are shut down due to racial and political reasons, they are the true hope for not only the city of Jackson, but numerous cities across USA. The NAACP is now shutting down blacks who speak the truth. Dems are too! Why not have a REAL conversion? Whites can complain all day long but the difference between Atlanta and Jackson are that whites moved their money and tax base from JAX, without looking back. The city needs a decent tax base and if not from homes, then from businesses. JAX has so much more to offer than ATL in history, music, the arts, engineering, historical buildings, and modern hospitals, it should be a mecca for businesses. With I-20 it should also be a headquarters for logistics, low priced warehousing, property, and access to numerous interstates, providing a great headquarters for shipping sent out West and in the Midwest. Politics play a huge part in this city's demise. Stop the BS, stop the politics, vote in mayors who want to make JAX the hub of the West and Midwest shipping and make this city the tourism mecca it should be for the nation's history. THERE IS NO OTHER STATE that had British musicians coming to hear the blues, no other state that can boast of making blues, rock and roll, southern gospel and other genres of music and be accurate. MS is so beautiful, and it's citizens, youth and all should be far more progressively set in life than all the other southern states. It is also a cultural meeting of different architecture styles such as Spanish, French, and English, and this state should be celebrated as "THE MELTING POT" of American architecture. Black Mississippian's should have their genealogy tested and analysizied, it is of the most important aspect of slavery history in USA.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
