Lorenzo was a tough son of a gun-
We don’t have these problems in Flowood.
I can't wait for the police chief's plan for fighting crime to kick in. Oh, wait, he doesn't have a plan. Nevermind.
Instead of Peace in the Streets - as Mayor Yammermouth talks about to no avail - maybe the city needs Peace in the Strips. Haven't there been several shootings at strip clubs or that happened after fights broke out there?
Succumbeded.
What crazy fighting and killing over topless women no one will get to touch. Play it safe. Go online for that stuff.
I have become, comfortably numb = society
Jackson better get on the ball! At this rate, I'm a little concerned they might not break last year's record of 130. Going into the cooler weather of fall, the lower temperatures might cause tempers to subside a little, and that's going to do nothing to help with the numbers.
If they're going to break the record, it would almost be a shame to do it in a half-ass manner! This is a "Go big or stay home" run to the end of the year!
Imagine if the mayor spent as much time and funds on combatting versus getting city funds to his campaign donors and pandering to the liberal media about how the white man has done him wrong where would Jackson be?
Come on Jackistan, I have good money on breaking 150.
Oh it'll break 130. It probably wont' hit 150 though
Day # of year - 278
Homicides to date - 113
Days of year - 365
113 ÷ 278 = 0.40647
365 * 0.40647 = 148.36
So looking about 148 by end of year.

Oh yeah don't forget to check WLBT's Homicide tracker: https://www.wlbt.com/news/crime/jackson-homicides/
That line is linear. Jackson would have to literally go 30 days without a single homicide.
Does anyone other than me remember the Shady Rest Bar and burger joint just north of the old overhead bridge, where Clinton Blvd changed to West Capitol street. It was most likely located on the gravel lot on the west side of the Boling Street/West Capitol intersection. My memories include cold Schlitz beer and great burgers, with carhop service by nice ladies in shorts and halter tops. To go there and then cruise over to the Skyview Drive Inn or Tallman's Pool Hall made for an excellent evening's entertainment.
Oh to be able to go back to the old days for just one more might.... If I could, I might even go big time to Lefleur's, or Primos, Maybe Dennery's or the Green Derby.
In case you are confused, all of these old time joints were located in the Jaxville War Zone
{GunMemorial.Org } is a good site to keep up with the number of people that are shot and killed every day in Jackson. It also usually has a picture of the victims. So sad how many people are getting killed these days.

Wait till the fair gets here. That will jack up the tally.
Austin TX has had 60 homicides in 2021
@5:26 pm,
Back in 1964 I became old enough (15) to get a driver's license. I took my 1st date to the Sky View drive in movie.....I knew how to drive, but still had a lot to learn about females...
I was out by that intersection one day recently and tried to remember exactly where the Sky View was located.

Can you start doing a series on the crimes happening in Belhaven and other areas?
Another attempted car-jacking last night with shots fired.
Also perpetrators exposing themselves to women running.
JPD says "it won't help to file a report" but is this them just padding the numbers or trying to keep their numbers down?
Just trying to figure out a way to hold them accountable.
