"Go Solve Your Own Crime"

 Murders often go unsolved as murders continue at record paces in Jackson.  CBS News took notice and came to Jackson last month.  The mothers of murder victims met with Jim Axelrod in what can only be described as a heartbreaking.  The tears still flowed long after the blood dried as the weeping women await justice in a city where too often justice is unknown.   The video is posted below. 



It is my understanding that JPD only has the detectives it has several years ago.  It has been said at City Council meetings that detectives are not paid more than patrol officers but JJ has not verified if that is true.  JPD is woefully understaffed.  As Sheriff Vance often told me "This is not hard" as he said if there are less police then there is more crime.

There are so many things to absorb here for an outside viewer, but the two main things are;
Stay away from a city where you have a strong chance of being murdered.
There is an alarming lack of leadership and professionalism within the police department
and the mayor’s office.

This falls squarely on the mayor who is more consumed with himself and jet setting off to different locales lying about how awesome of a job he is doing in Jackson with his progressive, socialist, holistic, collective approach to city governance all the while grandstanding for a bigger stage. He gives zero f's about the city or people of Jackson.

Official statement from Mayor Lumumba: "All is well. The M-Bar expansion is here."

I am a huge supporter of the police… however in the past 2 years I can tell you there really has been a change in JPD in terms of professionalism and understanding situations. They aren’t trained in domestic violent cases and often take wrong sides and can’t understand how to defuse situation without escalating it. I’m a trained social worker and JPD severely lacks all of the above
The mayor is a total joke even the police officers don’t like him

CBS race baits here stating blacks more likely to be victims of unsolved murders in Jackson where 99% of city cops, killers and victims are all black. They also more likely to be two legged.

notice the chief just blamed everything on the state crime lab. I can understand why the crime lab is back logged it's called 150 murders a year coming from Jackson. They never asked the chief about the un professional comments from detectives either. What a joke. The chief needs to be fired. The city council can actually do something about that. I have never seen the city in such a bad condition.

Cant imagine the heartache of a grieving parent.
With that being said, several things were striking.
Were there any fathers in that tv set of parents?
Did anyone take responsibility?
I heard it's jpd's fault. Then they said it was the state's fault. I think I heard gun's fault ("gun violence" boogeyman fallacy).
This will not change b/c everyone wants to be held blameless and be the victim.

Patiently waiting for Chok's press conference to address these inerpersonal murders.

The same people that bitch and whine about the police all the time are the ones always raising hell and calling the cops. The cops show up to do their jobs and all these radicals film the cops hoping to catch the least inappropriate act back the officers so they turn the video over to CNN and MSNBC. It's called the Ferguson Effect and you can thank Obama for it.

Highland Village has been getting slammed with auto related crime.

Wow. I'd say NBC's Lester the Fester really got scooped on that story. An all black panel of journalists, an all black forum of participants in a City of 150,000 that is only 84% black. Maybe it's a cultural problem. Nah, that would be too easy to admit and wouldn't be newsworthy.

Yet all these grieving JPD citizens will continue to vote for Antar because he's got a look.

Inefficiencies rampant throughout city departments are permanent unless and until Lil Choke is replaced with an inspired yet practical leader.

The Jackson POlice are prett good at bringing crooks, murderers, carjackers, gang members, and home invaders to a booking desk and jail cell. Then the judicial system lets them go and whores like CBS reporters take advantage of grieving mothers to run on "News" programs to run their agenda, or sell the latest overpriced Pahrmaceutical product being pushed by big pharma on the "News" program ads they sell. Oh and the "Slip amd fall? Then One call, that's all folks"

to BLM, these black lives don't matter. they don't matter because there's no money for them to hustle out of anyone. there's no many to hustle out of anyone because it's black folks killing black folks.

to try and protest that would be shining a light on just how bad it is in jackson with black on black killings, and folks would start realizing that cops, of any color, are not out there hunting black people. that there is no gang of white supremecists hunting black people. it is almost exclusively black folks killing other black folks. in a city run by black folks. in a city that is overwhelmingly black. any of you liberals, progressive, leftists, out there, please prove me wrong.

i can only imagine the pain these parents are going through, and hope and pray i never have to experience it. but to fix this problem, you have to be honest with what is happening and why it is happening, instead of blaming it on a bunch of things that have absolutely nothing to do with what's going on.

One mother said a detective told her, "Your son was no angel." And she agreed, saying she still deserves answers, which she does of course. But when the mayor & police chief let violence if not gang warfare run rampant, sometimes there won't be answers, unfortunately.

Mayor Chockwe Lumumba, Sr. is rolling over in his grave at the pitiful performance by his son. What a disgrace to his legacy.
(Save the comments about Sr's radical behavior during his younger days. He was a good mayor and would not have allowed the city to deteriorate as his son has done)

Anonymous said...

11:53, watched the video and your quote from a detective is not in the video. One mother said a detective told her that her son wasn’t “Perefct” to which she readily agreed. After all, the Word tells us that about everyone - Donald Trump’s own self assessment notwithstanding.

Sometimes there won’t be adequate answers. I know because I’ve lost a child. But compassion for one another, understanding and decency help when a parent is bearing such a loss. The Mayor is quick to throw his situation in there, yet his actions and attitude reflect his situation taught him little. The City will be better off once Antar goes to the next hustle, errr, position.

I have very little sympathy for anyone involved in this story.

The moms know this is a problem and need to stop electing people along racial lines. All the players involved are black and it needs a black solution. Fatherless bastards running the street and catch and release judges add to the problem.

This story acts like people are out to get black victims. It never stops to point out that the entire ecosystem of crime, from the victims to the cops, to the judges are all black. THAT is your story. What am I missing?

Is crime the reason the Mayflower is for sale ?!

Anonymous said...

12:46 crime, stray bullets, drag racing, that bar across the corner, vagrants, the list goes on and on. Lets just call it being for sale because "Jackson".

Yeah, well, the Mayflower has had several years to realize they were washed up in hostile enemy territory long before Plymouth Rock was considered loud lewd booming license plate rattling rap music emitted from a Dodge Charger on 32's.

12:27 - Chockwe Sr. almost certainly knew he was terminally ill when he campaigned for Mayor.

My baby was a good boy!

He may have carjacked ya,
but I don't think he'd kill ya.

Do not drive a Ford truck to Jackson. Working both sides of I-55.

Jackson knows this and cannot stop the criminals. Someone is on the take.

Anonymous said...

12:27, don’t fuckin get me started on Chockwe Sr! He was a terrorist and was responsible for the death of Judge Bill Skinners Dad who was a policeman! He was a friend of Bennie Thompson and they were joined at the hip. https://thenewamerican.com/murdered-cops-son-insurrection-committee-chief-is-a-cop-hater/ The current mayor is just as guilty and is as dirty as his dad and Thompson. The problem people are too afraid to say it. There is plenty of dirt on the lumimba family. Look it up

You get what you pay for. Or in this case, what you voted for.

King - I believe you pointed out that Jackson had a $37 m budget for police but only spent $29 m.

Didn't Chokeway try to counter your arithmetic?

Anonymous said...

1-CBS should have mentioned the racial makeup of the police department and the city. It just screams “See, MS is still racist”

2-most of the murders NOT involving gang members are solved. I would think they are prioritizing “law abiding” folks instead of “crime lifestyle” thugs. again, CBS should have done some investigation into that

3-Most of the metro area does NOT live within the city of Jackson. CBS should have also mentioned the murder rates of the entire area and the demographics of the suburbs to get a complete picture as to what’s going on.

But it generated clicks for its audience. All the “news” outlets bait stories. All of them.

Anonymous said...

Yes, well, let's do pretend that 100 police officers are adequate for Jackson or that any federal help stops at the doorstep of the Capitol.

CBS portrayed the exact story it intended to portray. Surely you know that. It was never intended to be a “this is the real story” piece.

John said...

Ultimately, the State will take control of Jackson. As the capitol, it plays too important a part to let it continue to deteriorate.

Anonymous said...

The state will never take control of Jackson. The optics of that act is more than any politician is will to present. He/she/it would be crucified by main stream media, the left, and the RINO right. It would be political suicide.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
