The Mississippi Department of Agriculture and Commerce issued the following statement.
Today, Commissioner of Agriculture and Commerce Andy Gipson reminds the public that the deadline to register to attend the upcoming Rebuilding the Walls of Safety crime summit is tomorrow, June 1, 2022. The crime summit will be held inside the Mississippi Trade Mart at the Mississippi State Fairgrounds on Wednesday, June 8, from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

What's for lunch?
Rather than share sparse oxygen with all those sweating bodies, I'd rather just read JJ's hot take on the event after the fact.
Hope Aaron Banks makes a meaningful contribution AFTER Lil Choke spins his worthless, twisted yarns of blame and excrement.
Will the blue ribbon commission be meeting there also?
If you are looking to steal a F150 tomorrow, be at the Fairgrounds between 11 and 2.
What a colossal waste of time! My prediction for recommendations; additional judges, prosecutors, public defenders, jail space, etc. Also, more mentoring programs, basketball courts, summer job programs etc. same old solutions that have never worked in the past.
Until our so called leaders recognize the problems are cultural and generational nothing will change. Government assistance programs which have rewarded fatherless homes, with undereducated teenage mothers having multiple children in order to receive benefits are now decades old and society is dealing with the results. Until the culture is changed no meaningful changes can be made. We have to accept that change will come slow. It has taken generations to get here.
Until then our leaders can have their crime summits and strategy meetings, meet with religious leaders,etc, to pretend that they are doing something in order to get elected.
..oooooo- breakout sessions.. cant wait. will there be nametags and donuts?
will that old preacher man be outside yelling "stop the genocide , stop the genocide? like he does at the gun shows???
Will any junior leaguers mistletoe girls be there?
Chokwe is holding a protest outside the fairgrounds…
All the NE jackson Eastover junior league lady’s will be at County club of Jackson or RHC or highland village in tennis skirts
Put me down for the breakout session on welfare fraud crimes (Brett Favre, Nancy New, Feel), stealing from farmers (Coleman family), or stealing timber (Madison).
They could make some money if they rented booth space in the vendor's area to the funeral homes and gun dealers. If it worked out wel, they could rename it "The Origional Crime Summit" and run it every month and put up little signs around town, advertising the event.
I vote for Thunderdome. Two perps enter, one perp leaves.
Sounds like quite the photo op.
Will Brett Lorenzo Favre speak at this event? He did not mention it during his Tucker Carlson interview tonight on FOX. Probably get paid anyway.
I wonder if Gibson will ride in on his horse.
I predict they will recommend "midnight basketball."
Big White Hats all around or go home!
Did they tell people in advance what Bible Verses the sermon will focus on?
I agree wholeheartedly with 5:59 p.m. This is purely a cultural issue, so you can rest assured, nothing substantive will come from this gathering. There's not a person who will attend that will be willing to address the ACTUAL source of the problem(s), because that would require being truthful, and truthfulness brings claims of racism.....which, of course, has heretofore been quite successful at killing discussion.
Quite a neat little circle where, ultimately, things just remain the same.....but the benefits of virtue signaling remain.
11am to 1pm........hummmmmmm...sounds like an extended ,long lunch break for government employees .
5:59 said it all.
And no elected official will ever have the balls to say it so succinctly, because they want to keep their job and you dont get reelected if you stop paying for all the unwanted babies that are hell bent on becoming criminals.
An unbreakable cycle and I see no way out.
Thanks LBJ!
The uneducated masses continue to vote for these charlatans who promise them more free money, while making sure they never climb out of poverty.
They are too dumb to see that they are mere pawns.
Hell, we all are I suppose.
Heard on the news last night that there is no need for the Crime Summit anymore. The city of Jackson has come up with a solution for the high crime. They are going to let the thugs play basketball. Crime problem solved.
