Jackson Jambalaya

I understand Mr.Allen's credit cards were used by the thieves after the attempted carjacking and are being tracked back to the thief. According to these conspiracy theorist dreamers, I guess that was all a set up as well. These people that start this stuff are sick.

Yet ANOTHER carjacking in Belhaven. This is like 4 in a month, and guns involved in every one. What the hell is happening to Jackson?

Fake news

Welcome to your dignity economy where equity and compliance is violently enforced.

Wow, disgusting from Stanley Wesley.

There needs to be better coordination between JPS and Law Enforcement.

Pull a list of all the students who have been absent at school more than 30 days and I guarantee you a majority of them are the ones committing crimes.

If there is any chance for Jackson to have a future as something other than a third world city, the State of Mississippi is going to have to make the tough decision to take it over, to put in place some sort of conservator, request federal task forces that bring forth the resources of the federal government to get these criminals in the federal court system so they can actually be convicted. Just as surgery and chemo to remove cancer is painful and the recovery can be long, unless the state steps in, there will be no positives in the future for Jackson.

Sadly, if you are a child born into poverty in Jackson, you really have almost no chances of success. If you are a boy born into poverty, you have a much greater chance of entering a life of crime and mayhem than going to college or learning a trade. Put simply, these kids never stand a chance and it is incredibly sad.

If not for the prosperity of Jackson, or the safety, then the state owes the future children being born into this mess a better life.

Money alone cannot solve the problems, leadership, tough decisions and guts is all that can turn the ship.

I spoke recently to a group of ladies regarding safety during the holidays. Number one on the list was "stay out of Jackson"!

Crimes like these WILL continue until the assailants FEAR that their victoms may be armed and might fight back...and perhaps kill them.

This is why concealed carry is important.

Don't count on the mayor to help.
Help yourself.
Fight back.

Only then will it stop.
These scumbags are only emboldened by easy targets and no consequences.
Kinda like the Somali pirates hitting oil tankers.
Arm them or have Navy nearby...no more attacks.
Risks become too high for these losers.

Get out! Get out while you can!

Friends in federal law enforcement report an alarming increase in gang-related violence in Jackson toward each other and citizens - a turf and credibility thing. Folks need to be extra vigilant and aware of their surroundings - especially getting in and out of cars.

Blast that heat on that ass. Period.

I have to admit that I was excited when Antar Lumumba was first elected. Young, energetic, articulate, seemingly sharp and bright. He has been so disappointing and seems to yawn as our city continues collapsing. His closest aides are really jaded, as witnessed by this Stanley guy. The downward spiral has no end, unfortunately.

Where is the police-work - the investigation? Two armed carjackings in Belhaven on Sunday evenings at dusk two weeks apart - plus another a couple weeks before. You don't have to sleep in a Holiday Inn Express to track down a few criminals who are repeatedly terrorizing a neighborhood...

You can lead a horse to water or you can lead him to the glue factory.

Laying in wait to put a gun in someone's face, what, one hundred feet from the Belhaven campus? What's next, ringing the campus with fencing a la Millsaps?

While Mr. Wesley and others in Jackson are busy respecting their "black dollars" they missed out on mine this past weekend. A large group of us went through Vicksburg for a sporting event. Not a one stopped in Jackson for food or gas. Not one dollar spent in that city.

Not because it is run by a black mayor. Not because we are anti Jackson and pro other cities. Simply because the crime is too high and the perception is that the city leaders don't give a shit.

Feel sorry for the businesses that rely on tourist dollars.

9:31 AM
Mayoral enforced deriliction of duty.

All you conceiled carry fans remember, the jury will be made up of people who fall for Stanley Wesley and Antar's mess. You won't be out from under indictment until the case winds its way through appeals several times.

Lumumba II's adminisitration is a PR machine, nothing more.

I know a lot of prominent Jacksonian’s living in caged facilities in northeast Jackson. The facilities are nice (when electricity, sewage and water systems are working). There is no opportunity for these people to effectively go for a walk, walk a pet, or jog. I have to hand it to them for not giving up on Jackson. Unfortunately, there is little if any chance for appreciable increases in property values.

Watch the fb video in link.

I did 10:51. That self absorbed man is a freaking lunatic.

so is cypher now pro chockwe?

Interesting that at the 26 minute mark, he starts calling out a long list of names who are part of the problem.....and its all the political enemies of the mayor.

Go read the facebook posts linked in KF's article. Madison and Rankin are not nearly far away enough to get away from this madness.

sheep and slaughter come to mind

Hey 10:17, you forgot "clean." Oh, wait.... he's as dirty as they come!

Crime is awful and it's increased dramatically everywhere including here.

God bless the victims.

But, anything other than running for office, joining law enforcement, or offering constructive solutions and/or comfort/help to the victims is whining.

As far as I can tell, JPD is doing a pretty good job of catching criminals.

I've already suggested keeping the criminals from being born through sex education would be a good start. Again, I ask you, how do you think babies grow up to be criminals? If they are born that way, we might want to put some big bucks into finding that gene!

Al's got it right. Please reread his message. He's the one who had a gun to his chest, but is he complaining to the world about the state of affairs in Jackson, in his neighborhood, in his front yard!? Is he trashing the Mayor or the police or the community leaders? Making a political statement? He has every right to.
NO, instead what does Al do? He speaks to the sovereignty of God, trusting in Him alone for everything, even when it makes no sense, even when his life was literally on the line, knowing he will wake up in Heaven the moment he dies.
Al literally took what could've been his last breaths to witness to his would be murderers who were holding a gun to his chest. Always sowing seeds of Christlikeness. Trusting in the Lord no matter the circumstances. Al is a giant among men. He is going to Heaven, and he knows it. You can too. Be there!

I thought polo the cypher hated Lumumba? I'm confused.

Until the joke for a criminal justice system in Jackson starts issuing proper verdicts and punishment for crimes the best thing to do is simply stay away. Nearly all of these crimes are being committed by habitual offenders who should already be locked up.

Edwards supports whoever directly (or indirectly) pays him. More sycophant-for-hire than mercenary. The 'Allens Made It Up' tale confirms that a initial inclination to totally dismiss 'Polo' out of hand was the right decision from the get go.

Follow the odor.
Only politico who benefits is Lumumba.

Same 4 good boys ?

What a GD, bona fide fool/joke this clown is. Can't stop laughing and laughing at his cadre of 80 IQ commenters. We actually live among these idiots.

I guess these mental midgets are gonna claim this was "round 2" of the conspiracy. SMDH.

Why do you stop posting comments after a spell? I researched this ex-convict "Polo" clown and he needs to be outed. He relishes in being a shitass and tries to be scary. He is big mouth fraud duping his stupid followers.

Mr Wesley is nothing but a racist. Looked at his Facebook page. Everything is black and nothing about everyone working together. Well dear sir, you can have your mess and don’t think for a second these 4 men will not make you a target in the future. Just tell them you hate the white men and I’m sure they will leave you in peace.

A 16 year old black young "man" has been arrested and is out on bond. Cops chased his sorry ass down after this carjacking. KUDO's JPD. Now watch one of our judges look the other way.

They are Chokwe's Chihuahuas

We in Northeast Jackson are walking and jogging and have been for years without incident.

I don't need a concealed weapon because it's useless if someone has the drop on me or ambushes me.

I stay alert to my surroundings and the body language of those around me. I have a plans of action in place for different scenarios.

But, then, I actually had a job that required me to go into high crime areas so training was needed. I didn't go armed with a gun. You might want to learn why that's a bad strategy.

Naw...I'd rather enjoy some lawyer telling the court you were the one who posed a threat and the criminal was the one who was defending himself against you.

@11:35 Which is it? You stay alert or is someone going to get the "drop" on you or ambush you?

You're painfully ignorant in your attempt to scream the virtues of NE Jackson. I too live in NE Jackson. I have lived in Jackson for 50 years. I have had extensive training courtesy of the taxpayer and never would I state something is useless in a hypothetical situation whose variables are too numerous to have a "plans". Preparation and planning are not always the same thing.

@ 11:35

I am not an attorney, and I do not regularly carry. The flaw in your argument is "telling the court that you were the one who posed the threat and the criminal was the one defending himself against you", exists at the point where you use the word "criminal."

I have a CC permit and that required some training and it was said "castle doctrine blah blah imminent threat of bodily harm."

In a nutshell, if he s attacking you unless you shoot him while he s running off, you by law probably aren't gonna have to tell "the court" jack, because you have the right under the castle doctrine to defend yourself.

Nothing but a bunch of racist people on this thread. Y'all make me sick. This is not the Mississippi I grew up in. Always quick to yell racism about everything but some of y'all are the WORST racists of ALL OF THEM!!!!!

@ 4:12

Which one of these comments on this thread was "racist"

you know I firmly believe that racism, like other malicious acts, requires at least some intent....... You can't just say well crime is bad and discussing it in a (from what I can see) civilized manner on an internet thread is even REMOTELY racist. Not one slur.....not one mention of a race being associated with XYZ, not one single solitary "racist" comment.

the problem with your mindset is when ACTUAL racism occurs, people don't listen because that horse has been beaten to death by people like you.

Are there any homes for sale in Belhaven, or any in northeast Jackson?

Mine. In Eastover. Done. Had it. Out. They win. Over. Make me an offer, no matter how ridiculous.
