Please help Adam Williams. The Crazy Cat waiter was recently carjacked and shot but thankfully survived. However, he does have bills even though he was fortunate enough to have insurance. Crazy Cat owner Jon Lansdale posted on the Gofundme page:
Adam has worked for me for awhile and I came to know him when he started working at Bon Ami after I left to open Crazy Cat Bakers years ago. He is a professional waiter working working two jobs ( he works nights at Shapley’s). About two weeks ago, while being carjacked he was shot twice. Fortunately, while his injuries were severe, he should recover. And while Adam has insurance, it never covers everything. That combined with missing weeks of work could be financially devastating. Adam is a good guy, a hard worker, a professional employee and most importantly a good friend. These events were through no fault of his own and I hate to see him suffer because he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. We are reaching out to all who know Adam, those who he has served over the years at Bon Ami, Crazy Cat and Shapley’s, and all those who have had the pleasure of having Adam wait on them to help him in his time of need. Thank you for any support that you can offer.

I hope someone has the means to help. My family is surviving by buying gas and groceries on credit. When that runs out we will have to file bankruptcy and move into a Bidenville tent city.
Man. F Jackson. Was this a known person to known person crime, Chokwe?
Do not know him, but happy to donate. Done and I encourage more to do so. Even if it is just the price of a fast food meal.
This post is about helping the guy. Comments bashing him because he lives in Jackson won't be approved.
I donated, AND I bashed Jackson (although my comments weren't posted). Seems to me that should be acceptable, as (a) my donation helps him AND (b) my comments seek to prevent more of this kind of crime in the future!
See, telling the TRUTH about Jackson can actually be beneficial!
A friend just moved from south Jackson apartment to a north Jackson apt complex (next to former Batte furniture) because of the crime in south Jackson. This past week she and her next door neighbor had their cars stolen. Apartment complex had no longer closed security gates at night and security cameras were not working even though apartment management was aware that teenagers were roaming the complex at all hours of the night.
If it makes you feel better, I spoke to his boss to verify.
Crazy Cat is a wonderful restaurant, and granted the societal bar is low that I will take as given that anyone that actually shows up regularly for legal employment is also a pretty good guy.
Regardless, he did not deserve this.
I hate that I no longer patronize these few fine remaining establishments, but its just not worth the risk.
Hey Anonymous 2:04…..the carjacking didn’t take place at Crazy Cat or even in Canton Mart Square….Canton Mart Square has on site security so please reconsider dining there….and yes, Adam is a great guy.
Thank you for the clarification 2:31. Point taken.
Jackson is so unsafe now.
this young man is so nice every time we eat at shapeleys. I hope he has a speedy and complete recovery
*Shapley's
I know Adam very well and he is an amazing, sweet man!!! I just learned of this today and will definitely be making a donation for him. He was shot twice and this could have been so very much worse. I just no longer go to Jackson and avoid it like the plague.
