So much succumbing….
I'm not sure on the number, I think wlbt is 2 behind which would put the number at 121.
I think this makes 120. There was one Thursday night on Raymond Road, and then one Friday at the corner of Hwy-51 and Beasley Road.
Dang! I had promised the wife that we were going to go there next Saturday night for dinner and dancing. Now it'll be closed.
Actually, an "agency" (the City Council) does have the ability to prevent these succumbing events. They could establish laws for places that serve alcohol to stop serving at 10 and lights out at 11.
Damn @6:21. You are right!
The City Council could shut down all establishments that serve alcohol at 11. Or they could shut down all establishments that serve alcohol at 3 in the afternoon - hell, that would stop a lot. And they could shut down all establishments that allow music.
Why would shutting down ALL establishments that serve alcohol at 11 stop this senseless shootings. Just like in the old days when alcohol wasn't allowed to be sold at all, there were plenty of establishments where one could obtain a drink, and where there were other activities going on, including probably some shootings (check out the Gold Coast history, for example).
Shutting down ALL venues that serve alcohol at 11 would penalize many many fine respectable businesses in this town, and the dollars would move across the county line even more so.
Instead of taking the Democratic broad brush approach (everybody gets a raise, everybody gets free higher education, everybody must do the same), why not punish those whose reputations are such that they should be shut down entirely, and let the law abiding public and the law abiding businesses continue to operate in a sensable manner.
Not hard to predict at all. Put a bunch of Jackson's finest citizens together, with the majority packing heat, and this is what happens. All it takes is one thinking he "ain't getting no respect".
Succumbededed.
150 here we come, or at least the perception of 150, right?
Succumbedededead
@7:46 whatever point you were trying to make, you failed. It's spelled sensible.
Anywho....I wonder if the "Major" will mention this unfortunate incident in his weekly press briefings? Let the finger pointing begin.
"This is an unfortunate and a senseless crime that no agency has the means of preventing and is also very difficult to predict."
There is just about a 100% chance the perp or perps who did this should have already been in jail for previous crimes. The "means" to prevent this is to vote for judges willing to incarcerate the people who are supposed to be incarcerated.
7:46, name the restaurants and bars that are open in Hinds, Rankin, and Madison Counties are open past 11:00.
"crime that no agency has the means of preventing and is also very difficult to predict."
They actually built excuses into the press release announcing the crime! That's Lumumba II, continuing to battle perception.
It can't be a coincidence that each year of his tenure has set a new record for per-capita homicidse in the City of Jackson. It's also probably not a coincidence that when he first came to power, Lumumba II cycled through police chiefs until he found someone willing to submit to his ego.

The means to prevent this is to not have elected judges in the first place. The whole purpose of having an appointed judiciary is so that once appointed they don't have to answer for giving sentences to hardened criminals because as the population gets dumber and more crime prone they will vote out the judges that actually hand out credible sentences to hardened criminals and vote in judges that give $10,000 bonds for Murder 1 perps.
Jackistan's "long hot summer" has extended into Fall.
I see JPD is hiring. Many takers yet?
The political apologia built-in to the PR tells you all you need to know about the Emperor Mayor's seriousness, or lack thereof, to address crime in Jackson. His tax base is fleeing and he doesn't give a shit. That's the bottom line.
It was bad before Covid and the election. Now it's worse. The powder keg is just waiting for a spark folks. Do you feel as helpless as I ?
SAF
Search and Frisk risky looking characters everywhere, all the time, especially in high crime district. Metal detect bar patrons by off duty cops to see if carrying legally.
This could make carrying in West Jackson riskier.
I guess these 121 Black Lives don't matter.
There is no groundswell of concern.
I wonder when Queenfish will stop censoring the 100% accurate name “Jafrica” for the shithole capital city.
This is an unfortunate and a senseless crime that no agency has the means of preventing and is also very difficult to predict.
Anyone know how many of the people doing the murdering or being murdering should have already been in jail for the crimes they committed but were blessed with no jail time?
Despite the Boy Mayor's protestations, there ARE ways to prevent this type of violence - mainly, get illegal/stolen guns off the street. The mayor has rejected help to do this, so it's little wonder gun violence continues unabated.
Maybe one day Jackson and Hinds County will get tired of this and elect real law and order
In the last 15 years, Madison (city) has had 1 reported murder. By the way, that victim was a teacher at Jackson State and was killed by some Jackson state student from Jackson.
@10:43
I am not excusing this behavior, but what is a risky looking character? My great nephew is a PHD with dreads and an unkempt beard. Should he be stopped because he looks "risky". The people that want to help the police will stop helping them as well, when you blindly start SAF procedures. Innocent people do not want to be violated for the stupid lawless ones.
I want the killings to stop around Jackson too. We definitely need to vote out these judges. We also need a mayor worth a damn to run this city. Finally, we need families to be accountable in raising their children. The village approach actually worked, but now people cannot stand for you to correct their children or hold them accountable for their actions. The "rules for thee, not for me" attitudes need to be wiped away in this country.
As for myself i dont care if these fools kill each other, its the damm balloon's i have to pick up out of my pasture's.
@2:13
A PhD alone is meaningless today. Just means your nephew smokes a lot of dope and doesn’t ever want to leave school. A PhD in what? A doctorate in gender political studies does not compare to an Doctorate of Engineering.
2:13 "Should he be stopped because he looks "risky"....."
Yep, twice a day! If he understands what society wants and expects... AND, if he is REALLY a 'smart' guy.
It's those violent guns again falling into the hands of good people.
Dumbass alert @ 3:06. I got a graduate degree because I smoked a lot of dope and didn’t want to leave school. Today I’m actually a tax-paying, contributing member of society. Don’t underestimate the power of an education.
@ 2:13 PM -- Dreads and an unkept beard alone do not substantiate SAF targeting. But, acting suspicious, drag racing, or congregating with known gang members in a high crime area (aka, Jackson) would be an appropriate time.
1:07 - There’s more than one.
I was a copper in Detroit and I understand the the dreds and unkept beard. Cops were targeted by the same look on a black lawyer with intent to refuse to comply and then bring suit. His theory... if it looks like a pig it's could be a Prince. Uh... No, if it looks like a pig you got yourself a pig. If it's the one off in a lifetime that you got yourself a goofball, or in this case your being setup for by a misguided but brilliant lawyer with not an ounce of common sense. If you want to hinder the police you do these stunts, if you want to be part of the solution you do what your asked when the copper gives you a command.
My nephew, not a PhD had the 'show em' attitude. He was going to tell the cop... it's the law officer, I don't have to show my DL. Thank God I got through to him, when you get stopped by a copper you do what they ask, be polite, yes sir, no sir and when you get a chance (not interrupting the copper) you say I'm sorry I should had known better.
He can say... my Uncle Doug's a copper in Detroit and I'd like to be a good guy like him. Turns out he never gets stopped bc he chooses to act mature even though he's just learning. Now out of 6 years in the Air Force and wishes he stayed.
Here you have a 18 year old learning common sense and making life work for him v a highly educated PhD with the attitude of an 18 year old. Nothing works for or brings any good from a disingenuous attitude. However, my nephew learned from Lou Holtz... 'attitude is everything'.
Up to you, educate your family PhD to use a genuine attitude and make life work for him in a mature manner or learn the hard way creating a life of hard feelings for how unjust cops are. Worst of all, attitudes find like minded and feed off each other. Stop! I don't Google nor have a URL. Hope this works.
