Jackson Jambalaya

That’s sad and pathetic…

That will Be the end of that event. Many others will pull out. Mistletoe Marketplace and others will look for other venues. Sad sad sad.

NO, That's Jackson!

The city with sou…BANG BANG BANG BANG!

So the deceased was the perpetrator?

I saw nothing in either video that would make me ever want to attend a public event in Jackson. The mayor should be talking about stopping this instead of talking trash.

I work in downtown Jackson. I am scared to go to my office during the daylight. No way I would take my family down there at night. It’s not safe! And even if you don’t get shot your neck is going to be sore from scanning the area for when you might get shot.

perception of mass shootings…

Who said you can’t have nice things in Jackson?

I hate this so bad cause when I heard about the fest on the radio I thought how much fun it would be for me and my family. We all love crawfish. But. Of course I remembered the fights last year. Not that we would be there that late but can’t take a chance with young kids. So we stayed home and didn’t go there and blow a bunch of money. I know I’m
Not the only one. Basic safety concerns kept me and my hard earned dollars at home. I wouldn't dare let teenage kids go to the fair at night anymore. Which is a damn shame. I have so many good Memories.

Congrats choke, this one has gone national.

Culture of violence.

Mistletoe will not leave. Many if not most in the high ups of junior league live in city of Jackson and many sponsors do as well.

Jackson is ruined because of these type people, and sadly, they could care less. I live in NEJ, and have supported and fought for this city for years. There is NO WAY I would attend a large public event in Jackson with my grandkids, and especially one with alcohol being served. It is a matter of time, now that the St. Paddy's parade has "expanded", before there are shootouts happen there. THIS is why we will never have "nice things" and are doomed to live in a city of perpetual public misery.

This is why Jackistan can't have nice things.

I bet this would've happen in Rankin County or Madison moved it there. They know not to go there with the foolishness.

7:10 said it perfectly. I wonder when Mistletoe Marketplace will decide to move to Flowood or Madison.

Different scene , different crowd.

St. Paddy's is doomed. 8:19 is right.

We do not want these kind of events in Madison County, as they would attract the Jackistan thugs. Keep them contained within Chowke's radical city.

I wasn't there but looking at video the last several years, the crowds at the Paddys parade are much smaller than in the past. Already taking a toll on that event.

St Paddy’s Day Parade is held in daylight, they only come out at night. No reason not to just back away and let them and the politicians have the place. Bad free water will eventually get them, or an errant golfball from up the road. Build the wall now, last one out with any sense can cut off the lights.

Thanks Chockwe, Kamikaze, Daquiri club and Murder bar owners, and the rest of you "enlightened" urban planners. You are reaping what your motormouth stupidity has been longing for.....a true urban ghetto, but feel good about it. You are in charge.

Savages Kill For Fun And Fame

Rap videos, violent kill video games, social media violent phone videos likely all feed this lust to kill for fun and fame savagery.

Based on stories read in WAPT, WLBT and Fox News, a man and two juveniles with two rifles and a pistol were firing from in or around their car at innocent revelers.

Not a race issue. This is the difference between being barbaric vs civil. Unfortunately, leadership in Jackson chooses Barbaric.

Cancer spreading I the City of Soul

10:01. are you serious?

Gang members, those without the ability to control their tempers,the mentally ill,and those on drugs have gun rights, and those with an emotional and intellectual IQ below 90 have gun rights and get to carry anywhere ( even where not allowed if they can slip by).

Indeed, the blind can even have guns.

So, you get a crowd and alcohol and you don't think you're going to get Dodge City back when everyone could "take their guns to town".

Extremists on the left and right believe " equal" isn't equal opportunities and responsibilities, they have made us think everyone is born with the capibility of being responsible and making good decisions.

That is hogwash!

So now we get the obviously mentally deranged actually elected.
The difference in parties is the myths being peddled and the commonality is both parties leaders and pundits get wealthy at your expense.

Grow up! Learn how to pass laws that stop this nonsense in civilized countries without having a brutal dictator like Putin or Kim or Xi.

Carrying a pistol legally is for self defense but IMO bringing rifles and shells to a crowded venue proves intent, attempted Murder One.

Sad day All Ill say is I gurantee you we will find out the shooter couldnt have had a gun legally. So it asks the question if you makes guns illegal why do you think this individal woudln't have gotten a gun anyway, Just always wondered about that side of the argument

This is why we can't have nice things.

Anything that Mistletoe has to offer I can buy online.

I’m not putting on a fancy outfit and going down to Jackson to get shot at on those “fair” grounds.

I wonder if Blue Oyster Cult got a chance to play “Don’t Fear the Reaper” before all of the shooting began.

2:13! MORE COWBELL BABY!

"I wonder if Blue Oyster Cult got a chance to play “Don’t Fear the Reaper” before all of the shooting began."

Don't know if Blue Oyster Cult had yet taken the stage, but this was one hell of a show opener if you know anything about the past of "Sullivan's Hollow" from Mississippi history.

@2:13 Yes they did, it was their last song. Then the crowd cheered for "1 more song!"

Yes I was there with my fiancée. We left at 9:40.
