Jackson Jambalaya

This terrible event is such an everyday thing in Jackson that it probably won't even make the local news. Get out while you can, as it's only getting worse. Your mayor lives in a gated compound with 24/7 JPD security and a JPD driver, so it doesn't impact him.

He is the tool who says things like "Jackson doesn't have any gangs" and "it's only a perception of crime."

How soon the low information voters forget.

Carjacking and an aggravated assault committed by means that can likely cause death or serious injury. Hope the lady does well. Have to wonder why anyone would want to live in that area with what seems to be a large amount of this type of crime going on there.

Guess not wanting to be labeled a racist is worth the risk of serious bodily harm, significant property loss and even death must be worth it.

When/if they catch this guy, I'll bet anyone here a steak dinner that he has some sort of prior violent crime that he was probationed / paroled / juvied for.

Not a perception of getting the f*** out.

The mayor's water toters will say "This happens all the time in big cities". I saw one of them post when the 80+ cars were broken into at the JSU game say on social media, "They break into cars in Oxford too". The same ones also talked about #whataboutisms a lot when they were pining for our current Commander in Chief. Jackson isn't a big city and I bet there have not been more than a few vehicles broken into in Oxford at a time. It's comical watch his people try to make the disaster he created a normalcy.

9:55 am Who exactly said "Jackson doesn't have any gangs"?
Granted, as someone from a truly large city before I moved here, my "perception" of crime IS different. I do "prioritize" crimes and know not to buy the most frequently carjacked vehicles and generally how to avoid property crime.
I also know where not to go in ANY city I visit. I also am not "out" after midnight or driving in poor areas of any town or city.
You'd be surprised to learn that Oklahoma City and Jacksonville , Fla are in the top ten cities where carjacking is a serious problem.Add Dallas and Austin , Texas.
Indeed, Dallas is second only to Oklahoma City.

If there is a conviction (big if) half the sentence will be commuted anyway.

@11:05 AM I moved here from Jacksonville recently and the carjackings are much worse in Jackson. Don't forget that Chowke doesn't publish crime statistics.

The mayor and police chief need to resign immediately. Our murder rate has almost tripled under Lumumba’s watch.

Is this in Belhaven?

Mantras of Jackson...
"Other cities have crime too..."
"The state didn't solve our water problem..."
"More money will fix our schools..."

The emperor has no clothes.

11:05 So, what you're saying is, "it's OK, because I let the criminal element in the city in which I choose to live dictate how I live my life."

Sounds reasonable.

11:05 - Your perceptions are totally irrelevant. Seems you are unaware of the fact that you now live in the city which outpaces all others in this nation in the per capita incidence of murder/homicide. Shit happens everywhere is a crap-load!

@12:53 PM - Belhaven Heights

@11:05

The mayor and at least one of his police chiefs or spokespersons have said that in the past, IIRC they were explaining why they didn’t have a gang unit or task force.

You gotta be pretty lame to 'attempt' a car-jacking and not succeed.

I too giggle and the endless "it happens in every big city" from the Jxn cheerleaders.

After all, the preferred Democrat methodology is to drag everyone down to the sewer, rather than demand improvements and accountability so ALL can rise up out of poverty.
