Jackson Jambalaya

Perception of bullet holes.

Radical!

If you own a building downtown and wonder why your insurance keeps going up, up, & up, see above. They keep up with stuff like this. That is why crime and the 3rd world county feel is a compounding effect. Not only is it dangerous, your insurance goes up, people start moving out and taxes and fees go up to cover the loss of revenue. Look at the West Rankin utility pulling out and the garbage fiasco. It may all be in the the Jackson-KUSH Plan handbook to create chaos and turn it into what it is becoming. I'm inclined to think Lumumba knows exactly what he is doing driving the tax payers out and making it a "black ran city". Whatever it is, the suitless mayor refuses to address it, which makes me believe he enjoys it.

Was this a shootout between groups/individuals or just someone shooting at a building?

Just yesterday the mayor was on the local TV news touting improvements to West County Line Road as opening up new economic frontiers for Jackson. Sorry to tell him, but there won't be any economic development anywhere in the city until he gets violent crime under control.

Did they put a hole in the window of the federal building? If they did that may actually get them charges Hinds county can't bless away or judicially fumble.

Jackson is an insult to 3rd world countries.

Stop picking on Lord Farquad. He's a dreamer -- not a doer. His job is to inspire and motivate others to act. Just 4 more years to get the plan implemented. It's radical; you'll see!

Just imagine how many dead people there would be in Jackson if they were not such poor marksmen. They were shooting at a car. That is a pretty large target. And they missed by so much.

You ain't seen nothing yet. Bidens agenda hasn't even kicked in good yet. War zone will not even begin to describe what is coming to us. And let me also send a special thanks to the 13000 voters . You represent that special group around the country who have somehow managed to take us all to hell.

it's not that he refuses to address it, it's, me thinks, what a holistic approach looks like. We just are blinded by ignorance to see how it is building up steam to work one day.......right?!?!?

I commented on the other post. In charge of maintenace at Southside Assembly. Another instance of wayward youths they shot one of the fron windows out of the church and two bullets landed in the wall. It is also a constant battle with bullets landing on the roof and putting holes in it. Our roofer said he could make a decent living just fixing bullet holes in roofs throughout Jackson. Not only does your insurance go up, but your roofing budget increases 10 fold.

I have a friend who owns a type of repair company and after a few scares, he now requires 2 employees (for safety) to be on each call in the city of Jackson.

Someone is going to have to pay the additional cost he incurs to send two people on a 1 man job.

The ripple effects of this insane lawless land are far and wide.

But by all means residents, keep the status quo.

The Mayor couldn't manage a lemonade stand let alone a city that needs a police department makeover. But, hey, I'm just glad he's woke, so I can continue to vote for him.

@12:49 you joke about poor marksmanship, but the murder rate would quadruple if the state’s only level 1 trauma center was not in Jackson. How many Jackson shooting victims does UMMC treat a year that survive potentially fatal wounds?

No takers to my question in the other thread, so I will repost it here.

Serious question: Instead of ranting on here, Nextdoor, FB, etc., why aren't the honest taxpaying citizens of Jackson organizing and having peaceful, well attended protests in front of city hall, weekly?

Who's taking odds on whether the owners of Landmark Center will get that window repaired before or after they eradicate the black mold from the burst water pipe and get the elevators working again?

I'm in shock !

Shock I say !!

I'm shocked this happened within 48 hours of the latest
"peace Parade/prayer rally"!

Much less ... within 48 hours of the highly effective JPD crime prevention tool: (3 on 3) "Peace basketball" game.

I have NOT been downtown in almost a year or more but while I was using the Pearl Street exit going into and exiting the city I was totally SHOCKED at the amount of trash and how horrible the city's entranced looked! Of course the fair is in town but still entrance to the city must be maintained to look presentable as well says a lot too!

Those windows succumbed

@2:00pm
Can't protest in front of City Hall, too dangerous to park, then risky to walk to and from the car. Mental case beggars down there are aggressive and threatening.

I'd like a higher quality slate of candidates to vote for.

Somebody did something.

The chase should have happened in front of city hall! Maybe the bullet holes would let the hot air out of the mayors office!

The only place in Jackson I'd feel relatively safe is Eastbrooke, but bullets do fly.,. I love old neighborhoods and am not thrilled with new-ish Stepford developments, but they are safer. i got no place to go unless i can drag Oxford here, wall it in and cut the prices.bigly.

I need an armed Mayberry, and I don't mean Canton.

@3:51 PM - that is a lame excuse. Then protest SOMEWHERE!

Does this mean that the balloon release didn't stop crime? That Real Time Crime Center should kick in anytime now.

The simple answer is there's not enough outraged citizens.

3:10, that is both creative and funny!

The real simple answer is that the majority of people left in Jackson makes their living by unlawful means or has a family member that does. Of course they care more about the thug than they do other people who are dumb enough to remain in the cesspool.
It will take several generations before the people of Jackson become law abiding citizens. First the parents have to care enough about their kids to demand a school system that actually teaches the kids. That will not happen anytime soon. Second they will have to instill in their kids a desire to become something better than a drain on society.
Don't expect that to happen since there isn't any parents left in Jackson that will make the effort.

I thought the Tindell Department of Public Safety was supposed to have the Capital secured.

Those windows definately suffered gunshots, right?

2:00 PM

Thanks for the belly laugh.

Hollywood Sean Tindell, Tater's buddy, out to pull the wool over everyone's eyes. He's done nothing for public safety.

For years the promoters of downtown Jackson have fed the woke a line of BS about how safe downtown Jackson is. They say it is the safest part of town. What say they now?

"The simple answer is there's not enough outraged citizens." I don't believe that what is left in Jackson actually fits the definition of citizens. Sure, a few do, but overall.....

Just curious, but am I the only one that actually see’s humor in it all. I know it’s really not relevant but I’m now 65, grew up in south Jackson and sadly even invested in Jackson real estate back in the day. Needless to say I’m no longer paying taxes there but I actually see humor in what is taking place not only in Jackson but Hinds county as a whole. It’s like watching a constant train wreck on a daily basis and you can’t turn away.

Head down Capital Street on any Sunday afternoon after 4 pm and observe the mayhem. It has been this way for quite a while.

Now some vacant buildings have broken windows. Meh

2:00

The only citizens that are actually outraged by this constant criminal activity and violence are too busy going to work and running businesses to waste time “ organizing protests” in front of city hall! Protesting and demonstrations are tools of the Left and WOKE! Leftists are the only citizens who have time for that. The real answer is for concerned citizens to sell their property in Jackson for whatever they can get for it and leave Hinds county ASAP!

Holy crap @8:38 are you forgetting the nearly decade long harangue about the creative class and how hordes of 'creatives' where poised to move downtown as soon as (if only) housing was available?

The ONLY Mississippi media outlet that detailed the massive disconnect between that spin job garbage and reality was JJ. ONLY.

More urban renewal in the radical third world city of Jackistan.
