Jackson Jambalaya

Game Day going to get some hella cray-cray footage.

Impressive but stretch before you replicate those moves.

Dude has some moves.......not good ones. The butt crack is especially a nice touch.

Adults with mental issues, drug addiction problems, etc. tend to gravitate to the urban areas not the suburbs, That's true all over the country. Jackson happens to be the closest haven in the area so they get this stuff all around town. What else can they do?

Making fun of the mentally ill? New low.

Don't believe he's ready for America's Got Talent.

Making fun of the mentally ill and possibly addicted = classless move

Crazier than a head-shot rabbit.

Is this included in the Platinum Package?

"High" Street, indeed. Illegal drugs are a terrible thing.

See, you gots yer judy chop. All right, you got yer karate chop and you got yer ninjy chop. DON’T GO NINJAIN’ NOBODY THAT DON’T NEED NINJAIN’.

This is why I don't go to the High Street Whataburger and Waffle House anymore.

And Madison County property values continue to fall…

That's Randall "Tex" Cobb, aka Sailor, in Uncommon Valor

When other municipalities all over the state truck their indigent, mental and drug problems to High Street and drop them off with $10, what do you expect?
And JPD/Chokwe could not care less that these people are chasing away visitors, businesses, destroying private property, and more…
Third world Here we come…

@9:44AM

We're making fun of a city that not only tolerates the addicted and mentally ill roaming free, endangering themselves and others but actively encourages it. No compassionate society would tolerate this sort of thing.

Why would anyone go through a car wash in Jackson? With the Jackson water, you will leave after the car wash with a dirtier car than you came in?

9:49

There is no reason for anyone in this country to be homeless unless they want to live that way. Can it happen? Yes. However, this country has no shortages of options to keep someone from being homeless. The biggest of which is a dire shortage of workers.

If you can dance at the car wash, you can hold at job at the car wash and if he's on drugs, I don't care what happens to him. He had the resources to get the drugs. He can use those to get a cheap room.

Interpretive dance is often misunderstood by the general public. Such a vibrant display of the culture of Jackson should be celebrated. Here we see human emotion or fantasy translated into movement and dramatic expression.

Just a small part of the payoff created by the Honorable Mayor Lumumba II as he carries out his visionary plan to create a progressive city. Not only to correct the ills as we see them, but to be a model for the nation of what progressive leadership and collective genius can accomplish.

Bro is high on crack. They have to get to rock bottom before they want any treatment. Until then looking crazy dancing at the car wash will suffice.

@9:47 AM - Yo bleeding heart, have him move in with you if you are so concerned. No one forced those drugs on him, and he wasn't an addict when he started.

Well, the participants of the Ballet competition next summer have certainly got something to look forward to.

Don’t see how it helps to laugh at and make fun of people who are mentally ill. Drug addiction, PTSD, homelessness, schizophrenia are all considered mental illnesses, not moral weaknesses. Lots of ignorance and misunderstanding so it’s easy to judge and ridicule but I don’t see how that helps anyone.

I don't see any of the bleeding hearts above volunteering to take him under the wings/roof. Liberals always want someone else to clean up the mess that they created, but won't get their hands dirty. It's the progressive way.

This one, the wheelchair-bound man in traffic, and a couple others have something in common: they’re gratuitous and almost make me feel ashamed.

This guy on Dance Dance Revolution…..What does "high score" mean? New high score, is that bad? What does that mean? Did I break it?

1:19 - Nobody, I mean NO BODDDY, with PTSD acts this way. So, while you're playing Tuesday morning psychiatric-aide down to the Vet Center, you can check that one off your list.

Truth be known, this guy sees the brushes in the car wash and is simply mimicking their action. He'll calm down in a bit, move down the street to beg for some grub, and then be back at it soon enough. He's harmless until he thinks you've somehow slighted him. Stay armed.

I’ve seen crazier stuff than this on a Sunday afternoon at Shucker’s on the Reservoir.

Damn, that looks like just my bonus kid all mucked up on that fentanyl. YES FOLKS, that is what it does to a human being. Makes them act JUST LIKE THAT if they are lucky enough not to make that trip to the ER for some NARCAN. I sure hope this guy is ok. He obviously has a terrible drug habit.

October 25, 11:26am with the best call and reference that I have seen in many moons......Why did they call him Sailor?

We work with the homeless in downtown Jackson day in and day out. This guy should be institutionalized—for his own safety and ours. But instead, he roams the streets. He’s schizophrenic, bi-polar, and completely unmanaged. Even if he had access to medication, he has no one to make sure he takes it. It’s a HUGE problem. The whole “if he can dance at the car wash he can work there” line is absurd. And add to it the “there’s no shortage of options in this country to keep someone from being homeless” line, which is the second most absurd thing I’ve read — coincidentally by the same person — is ridiculous. Jackson (AND the country) has an enormous shortage of affordable housing. Not sure where you’re getting your information, but it’s incorrect.

This guy hears voices. He’s not rational. And he’s certainly not hirable. In his particular situation, Whitfield needs to become Whitfield again. It’s inhumane what is happening in our streets—and to him. God help him.

5:19, there is only so much that taxpayers are able to fund the able-bodied non-working, homeless, criminal, substandard education, etc. population before the wheels fall off on the money train.

5:19, you’re exactly right. But the guy in the video, that sparked this entire conversation, is merely sick. And up until this ruling, from the Department of Justice in 2011, he could have been safely provided for. But instead, he’s dancing at a car wash—and we all lose. Keep celebrating budget cuts for mental health.

I'm just glad they cut that tree down by the i-55/St D intersection so the out of town vagrants can't snooze there anymore.

5:19: You are absolutely correct.
6:07: One of the basic duties of government is to get the dangerous off the streets, this includes those who are a danger to themselves and others due to addiction or mental illness. I can think of plenty of things we’re funding that are less important. We need to expand mental health and rehab capacity in this state.

Excellent Judge - It's also inhumane the degree of enabling that goes on 'downtown', largely carried out by people such as yourself and your fellow Bleeding Hearts. If not for folks like this dancing-rabbit, you would have to find a real job, yourself.

I firmly agree with 5:19. We need mental institutions back. It was the wrong decision to close them. This is the type of person that needs to be there by keeping him off the street and others safe. Whitfield and other places like it worked.

This was not a problem in the past. A simple call the the men in white coats and this guy would be residing at Whitfield indefinitely.

Oh man I’ve got high with this cat before. He is a good guy. Y’all stop judging people so much. We all know you snobs are a bunch of racist, drunks, and sinners.

This guy showed up a few months ago in Jackson--usually hung out at the corner of Fort and Jefferson. I gave him a few bucks one day. Looks to be early 20's, completely psychotic. You assholes that write off people as "must be on drugs, could work, ect...." probably all have losers like him in your family. In Mississippi, I'd wager even the people not commenting have relatives like this within the cousin strike. Get over yourselves and your dry-cleaned jeans and peroxide wiiiiives.
