I HATE this shithole city.
We really need to start prosecuting these fools and throwing their asses away! So far away, all they can smell is off brand Lysol and booty juice. We got to make examples! This shigity ain’t normal and is dangerous.
Thugs gonna thug.
SEE!! Gunshow this weekend. Direct correlation…HAS to be the gun shows
NYC had a stake out squad made famous for it's shootouts, and effectiveness. Violent street criminals need eliminated, off the streets. The first step in any hope of recovery. Dead do not get Judicial blessings. Seems to be a remote possibility.
This is Baby Chowke's utopian radical new afrika.
Methinks that the law abiding citizens remaining have become numb to the violence and broken infrastructure.
I read the daily Nextdoor posts for Belhaven, Belhaven Heights, and Fondren, and there are constant comments about the daily gunfire, aggressive vagrants, public defecation, brown or no water, potholes, burglaries, thefts, car jackings, and a police department that doesn't respond, let alone even answering 9-1-1 calls.
Fix it or get out while you can!

"...criminals need eliminated off the streets...seems an impossibility"
A strong, common sense, black mayor with good business instincts could do it. Are there any such black leaders available?
Lumumba proves radical, leftist, irresponsible, impetuous, anti-business policies backed by groveling for out-of-city money is a fail.
August 15, 2021 at 10:26 PM, that is exactly why I moved 600 miles away. It will always be a $hithole.
This behavior will stop when the people have had enough, and not until then.
10:40 Agreed. Yet, even in the face of this unbelievable increase of violent crime, the communities most affected by the worst crimes are remarkably silent! My observation from having watched it for decades and decades is: apparently, this is just how they live. In no way do I understand that mentality, but even if you weren't capable of changing things, you would still think they would vociferously complain about it by petitioning the authorities for help. But, no.
It's awful, and we can wish things were different, but you simply can't deny the facts.
Jackson will NEVER change. Period. It only gets worse from here. If you see some glimmer of hope, please change my mind.

Congratulations on your escape from Mississippi! Charlotte or Austin?
So many posters here, assume that when people flee Jackson, they move to a Jackson exurb, like Brandon or Madison. Those posters must be truly pitiful people, who didn't have the moxy to remove themselves to another region, and who only know people without the moxy to go very far. An easy half of the former Jacksonians WE know, have moved ***at least*** as far as Dallas or Atlanta. Generally, we hear, "Bay Area", "Upstate New York", "Seattle", "Thousand Oaks"... We fled to the Pacific Northwest.
Madison and Brandon are not Jackson's enemies. Those communities are keeping movers/shakers/jobmakers IN MISSISSIPPI, who otherwise would have fled the region. Those people pay taxes, buy cars, buy groceries, buy insurance, actually PAY for elective procedures... keeping all sorts of resources and jobs from evaporating. Good for them. If they can stomach living in a place where life revolves around private school sports programs; big, loud churches; and big, silly weddings, then more power to them. I wish them the best (but am glad to be gone).

Vicksburg comes to mind. Say what you might, George is a man of integrity, devoid of the illness of caving to political pressure. He has many years of experience at the state and municipal levels, is well liked and has never, to my knowledge or observation engaged in the gutter skills of racial division, excluding white folk from the equation or running an employment office down to city hall.
Chokwe can't tote his water.
