How many murders so far this year? Does anyone even bother to count anymore? Seems like 5-6 this week alone. It is so sad that In Jackson Mississippi bodies are found lying in the road or individuals are shot and killed in the middle of a downtown intersection and it is so commonplace that it is barely even newsworthy.
Don’t meth with my meth.
Next-
Time for the Downtown Jackson Partners to write another completely useless letter!
Some of hizzoner's dope boys, right?
People die errday, B.
Downtown BID has gone from the cleanest, safest area in the state to absolute shit in 3 short years. Thanks Brad and all your stupid, dreamer, motormouth, apologist, loser, immature buddies. Y'all have succeeded in ruining it.
Obviously less succumbing when a shotgun is used.
Gotta love Mississippi, where we arm our meth heads.
Must not be enough cameras down there. Cameras stop crime from every happening.
We are at 38, or perhaps 39 murders this year. It depends on if WLBT has updated their database with this latest murder yet. Jackson is running ahead of the old record pace set in 2020, but is behind the new record pace set in 2021.
And 12:48, Jones-Walker is leaving downtown. They are sick of this crap.
The odds of getting murdered in Jackson are higher than the murder rate by the Russian military in Ukraine.
Statistically, it is more dangerous to live in Jackson Mississippi than it is in Ukrainia, why are we sending money there?
@7:33 PM - Exactly! Everyone should send their donations to the Chowke Lumbumbles Foundation to Free the Land. Yeah, that's the ticket, right?
Nothing to see here folks, please move along. Go see the cows on Jefferson.
Jones-Walker is leaving downtown. Wow. That leaves Brunini, or what is left of it still downtown. Thanks Franklin and crew. You guys rock. You have it almost all to yourself now, and can run that sleezy crap that you like at will.
send in the national guard..
Crime, violent crime hurts us all, Rankin and Madison County included. Small very violent area, add in Canton so small for the level of black-on-black violent crime. Not sure it can be done, like the old NYC Stake out squad but assume the most violent men on the street are known. Shotgun, yikes.
"The odds of getting murdered in Jackson are higher than the murder rate by the Russian military in Ukraine."
Bullshit! 98% of these murders are between people that had some kind of issue with each other
These killings are not committed by unfamiliar acquaintances
There was a "stop the violence" march in downtown on Saturday so this violence will soon come to a halt.
Anyone know where Jones-Walker is moving? If they are moving to Madison County, I visualize a lot of NE Jackson homes going on the market.
10:44. Yes I know. It is not Madison County.
What happened to the DJP Ambassadors?
Weren’t they supposed to keep things safe downtown?
They previously patrolled downtown and had to check in at each location on their rounds.
12:48 : That's a good one.
