Jackson Jambalaya

thank you KF !!

This would be funny if it were a skit in a comedy routine, but unfortunately it is not fiction.

Surely this should be taken seriously and investigated. I hope Mr. Stokes will pursue this knowledge with someone who can do something about it.....Jackson is in worse shape than we could have imagined if this stuff is true!!!!

I used to not like Mr Stokes, but one thing I do know he would not go down and disappoint his beloved city by taking a bribe! To the Mayor, as Mr Stokes said, you need help!
Word on the street is you protect dope boys! How did you get that association?
Fix the crime problem Mr Mayor?

Even with earbuds could not understand him...Regardless...what kind of dope is he suggesting is being smoked by the MAIR? Weed? Crack? Hash? Powder-line? It do make a big different.

When it comes to political skills, Stokes is a loaded freight train and the kiddie mayor is an empty 95-gallon garbage can.

It's in the worst shape ever regardless of whether the mayor is a drug addict. I mean, we had a drug addict DA for twelve years? At least dope would be an excuse for behaving like a drunk raging toddler.

This ain’t supposed to be for white folks ears. Y’all need to be listening to MPB or SuperTalk. This black folks radio. Y’all can’t hear the truth because y’all too cynical and racist.

Stokes Should Run For Mayor Next Time.

Stokes and Pollard on the same day ought to win KF a Pulitzer. Now THAT’s local flavor!

I still don't like Stokes, but I'd love to see Lumumba's lackeys have a heart attack after Lumumba losing to Stokes.

@3:54 Guess how we got that way?

3:54 is a state-sponsored troll for the Nation of Jackson.

Stokes knows 50 years of Black Jackson History. I doubt most of you could piece that much of any history together. Kingfish spends hours poring over web archives (or microfilm) to piece it together. But he can only see what C-L said and that record is iffy at best. I am curious if Kingfish has ever detected a discrepancy between the microfilm and the web archive. I am old enough to remember going to Eudora Welty Library in the late 1990s to pull C-L microfilm from the 1970s and 1980s.

It is evident that the dope boys run the city of Jackson and/or are smarter than the Police, the DA and the Judges. If not why do they continue to go through revolving doors to back on the street of Jackson. No other Jurisdiction in Madison nor Rankin Counties allow this nonsense.

So tell me why? Who’s smarter! The only other answer is to surmise that the fix is in! The Mayor is not allowing the Police to Police. The DA is not prosecuting. And the Judges are not?

Wish there was a transcript. I could not make out a lot of what he was saying.

Where are the late City audit reports on the financial statements?

Mr. Stokes better watch out for the Richard's goons out of NOLA. They might mud-check his ass.

And any chance the Mair will give me the pager number to his dope boys? My anxiety/glaucoma/inherited nervous twitch is acting up something awful, and I'm afeared that my county is gonna choose to take the loop-hole opt out in the weed bill our part-time, hay-seed, jack-wagon legislators put together.

An absolute true Hee-Haw SALUTE! to Jackson, MS, and the rest of the confrustated red and blue state.

I'm afraid this is the final straw for me. I am an optimist, but this is too much. Sad For Jackson

9:06 - remember that Stokes' wife is a Judge.

@10:58 PM
How many times I gotta tell you to stop beginning sentences with "And."
Also, watch out for Richard's goons, not "for the Richard's goons."
Stokes is a city council member. He should be addressed as Councilman Stokes.

@7:29
Intentionally trolling grammar Nazis is good sport.

Stokes has been a council for more the 20 years just take look at his wards should tell you all about Stokes he talk like a thug because he is one.

7:51 : Still, gotta respect that he still lives as his neighbors do. With that said, the current mayor along with current and former council members and mayors are to blame for the demise of this once barley good city.

As others have stated, I, too, never thought I would agree with Mr. Stokes, but . . .
Mr. Stokes is on the right side of the garbage collection issue. From what I can tell garbage collection under Waste Management works like it is supposed to. It looks like WM was the lowest and BEST bid.

Why would Mr. Stokes want to run for Mayor of Jackson. He seems more like a legislator than an executive. Mr. Stokes, as Mayor, would have to deal with all the nitty gritty of running a city, or at leas that is the job description for mayor. Mr. Stokes seems to do just fine representing the people of his ward.

I am kind of reminded of the quote from Little Alex (at least as far as legislators are concerned):

“I viddied that thinking is for the gloopy ones and that the oomny ones use like inspiration and what Bog sends. For now it was lovely music that came to my aid.”

― Anthony Burgess, A Clockwork Orange

Who turned the damned Grammar Nazi loose??

I know Stokes is Stokes and has been this way forever, but it's still crazy to me that in 2022 we can have an elected official who publicly says he won't even speak to some people because of the color of their skin (11:24). How is that ok?

@8:39 PM
Congrats… I guess… for making the cringiest post of 2022.
A Clockwork Orange quotes …Really?
Perhaps next week we can pretend it is 2012 and you can post Bane memes.

@9:11 AM
I did. I'm responsible.

Councilman Kenneth Stokes is an absolute unit, and a living legend.

Didn't Stokes send a letter to US Attorney in this area? Did the US Attorney respond or say anything that you know of?

The City of Jackson Leaders, the Hinds County DA and the Judges enable the Criminals to run rampant and without any real life consequences. An example needs to be set to get these fools in order before they rob, rape, or kill one of YOUR loved ones!

It is really sad that the citizens have to resort to comments on a blog for help!!!

We the citizens need the public’s help with information that will get to the bottom of the allegations of corruption by the Mayor and Mr Stokes.

Contact you local FBI office or the US Attorneys Office. Not the Hinds County DA! Don’t get them mixed up!!!

Get the persons name, position and number you talk to for your record!

Let’s nip this in the bud!

"Let’s nip this in the bud!"

BUD? Bud, hell! A bud is a beginning. The bud bloomed and became a tree and the tree produced fruit that has long since rotted, the branches have fallen to the ground, the trunk harbors rats and coons and possums and the roots are thriving only on raw boo boo. It's time to call an arborist and take this thing down. Call the stump grinder!

I see this so called administration becoming another chapter in the continuing stories of "Marion Barry Debacle" of Dim-O-Krat run utopias.

Only thing is, that by the time it becomes a full blown fuk'n disaster,
there won't be a Clarion-Ledger rag to play down the coverage......
