Jackson Jambalaya

Prime hunting grounds for criminals.
But, Jackson will be faced to spend tons of money on all the water breaks coming this weekend.
Temperatures in the teens for over 24 hours.

Forecast I saw was 12 degrees Thursday and Friday nights. Saturday night 17 degrees.

Well, I am glad this new “Security firm” will get this under control. I must be extremely naive, but I thought that was what the local police department was hired to do. Anyway, they look good and have those smug looks on their motorcycles.

Is this not the same Kroger where a car was stolen several years ago with a toddler inside while the toddlers mother was shopping? I remember reading that the perpetrator drove to Gluckstadt, called his “friend”, and said “I am going to “out” this baby, then blew the babies head off.”

A few years ago Kroger did away with security and a woman was abducted and raped
When the Hinds County deputies were there for several years it was pretty quiet.
Then Kroger replaces the deputies with private security with no gun and driving around in
a Nissan with a blue light
Seriously? Is this security?
Bring back deputies with guns.
It's really a no brainer.

Why is the SO investigating this?

Nothing left to loot or shoot in west Jackson or south Jackson. Pearl and Ridgeland, you are next.

Well this doesn’t meet national headline criteria, bury it!

I'm serious, how do I bid on the yellow crime tape for Jackson, Ms.? They do not re-use it. I would like a shot at it.

well crap... St. Catherine's is looking better and better....

I perceive a perception of crime. Right?

Why didn't hizzoner's Real Time Crime Center prevent this perceived crime?

8:51. Thanks for the warning but no thanks. We take care of business over here on the redneck side of the river. Act the fool over here and end up picking butter beans on the Parchman Farm.

I see a significant increase in business at Kroger Ridgeland starting tomorrow.

@9:21 PM - If it weren't for Chowke's Real Time Crime Center 1,000s would have been shot. Right?

Chowke will blame this on last weekend's Jackson Gun Show. Right?

To discuss the crime problem in Jackson is racist.

Kroger should just close that store.

"A black male suspect fled on foot. He might have left in a dark SUV."

I'd like to nominate that one for the police-report-comment of the year.

I felt much safer with the deputies sitting and driving around the parking lot outside in the golf carts. Saturday I was there and inside was a black man begging for money while I was shopping, no security in sight. I guess it's time to stop going there, which I hate, because they have the best selection of everything.

Democrats love crime. Crime = control i.e. keeps voters from moving into cities like Jackson, that would then vote Democrats out of office. Crime pays big time for Democrats.

Really people? Are you actually blaming Kroger and not the criminals?

..interpersonal conflicts? Right?....

I live in NE Jackson and we shop at that Kroger. If they want to continue to keep the NE Jackson rich housewives shopping in day there they will bring back the local law enforcement also homeless from the interstate are a nusence
Speaking of homeless why is flowood now having so many homeless people now

This Parking lot has been the scene of hundreds of crimes dating back to the 1990s.

The best lawsuit regarding this area was filed by Shane Langston - the criminal testified he spied on women in the lot and followed them home and attacked them in their garages.

New security laws enacted 2021

Now there is less incentive to hire security because it is impossible to be held liable civilly.

So far tort reform has seen medical negligence increase and their insurance premiums increased too…..Kroger now doesn’t need premise liability insurance and you can bet the number of crimes increase due to lack of security.

I wanna know the motive for this shooting. Drugs, carjacking, triangular woman sharing, target practice?

So many think that more police is the answer. It's not. There is no answer. We are, and have been for sometime, witnessing a complete breakdown in a large portion of a culture. All this violence is going to take place regardless of laws or law enforcement. We are not dealing with a traditional culture here, therefore, traditional methods will no work. What's the answer? I have no idea. We have never had a situation like this before.

Watching the verbal gymnastics on FB from blue haired craft beer hipsters defending Jackson is so helpful.

If residents spent as much time finding and electing leaders that would be tough on crime, as they do chanting "tHiS hApPeNs aLl oVeR iTs jUsT nOt rEpOrTeD bEcAuSe rAcIsTs hAtE jAcKsOn" they could actually affect some change.

Alas, the Liberal minded only want to use words...never action.

There is a reason that there isn't a Kroger in W. Jackson. Dems love those "food deserts" as it is something that they can blame on the right. Right?

It's my understanding that when Lumumba declared panhandling, vagrancy, loitering and bridge-dwelling to be desirable activities, he, in effect, established them as goals.

That said, you can't stop vagrants from the interstate from hanging around on public-access parking lots, pissing on the floors in the Kroger bathrooms and plying their trade on the premises.

The only way to control the parking area is to light it up with multiple million-candle, stadium-worthy lights. The only way to keep roaches off the kitchen floor is to leave the lights on. They'll still be lurking - you just won't see them.

I see that it's night in the photos and there are no cars in the lot.
Was this someone targeting employees getting off work? Or have they already interviewed potential witnesses?
Pretty sure white males still hold the title for killing wives,ex-wives and girlfriends as well as being serial killers and pedophiles.
If you look at charged vs convicted for crimes in general the stats are worse but more white males and females can get good lawyers and offered plea deals.
So, would you rather claim relatives who rob and steal or who kill their family,friends,girlfriends/boyfriends and spouses, abuse children sexually and physically in your race?
Now the white gangs and black gangs exist. You see Hell's Angels and Aryans differently than Crips and Bloods but the fact is they are just the same. Ask a prison guard.

Why does anyone shop at that Kroger? The aisles are ridiculously crowded and there is always a huge line to get anything from the meat counter with all of the folks wanting steamed shrimp/seafood. There are 3 Corner Markets and a Whole Foods nearby that have way better meat and everything you need.

7:28 - So, as a plaintiffs' attorney, while you're moaning about tort reform (which dented your income), are you suggesting a merchant should buy insurance protection he doesn't need?

Get out of NE Jackson- while you can!

A $50 rental inspection fee will fix this.

Put a Hinds County Sheriffs Dept sub station in the parking lot.

8:38 either had a stroke typing that, or gave me one as I attempted to read it.

There were no cars in that section of the parking lot because it was taped off for a crime scene. Duh. That time of night there are usually more cars.

6:15: I was there when that bum was begging inside. He was on the back aisle plying his trade. Cornered a woman in a motor scooter trying to intimidate her for money. He came to me for money and I told him in a raised voice to get lost. He got mad and starting screaming KKK as he stormed off to harass someone else. To their credit, I went and notified security of what he was doing and they promptly got him and ran him out the store.

I like the store. The produce selection is good. Hell, the overall selection is good and better than at other Krogers in the area. I don't have to walk sideways down the aisles as I do at the Ridgeland one. Staff, including pharmacy, has always been nice.

My only gripe is the removal of the deputies. They used to ride around in golf carts. When Brister and Spooner had that detail, they rode around no matter how hot or cold it was. Then covid hit and Kroger had the deputies working mask patrol at the doors. When all that ended, the deputies had gotten in the habit of hanging out at the doors playing on their phones. Hadn't seen the ride arounds in a long time.

@8:24
Strict law enforcement increases peace and order, which not only Madison and Rankin counties demonstrate, but historically Mayor Giulianni cleaned up the nastiest human sewer in America, Times Square, with his "stop and frisk" and "broken window" policies. Now after a few leftist mayors cut back on law enforcement, all of NYC is a human sewer again.

Did LEO get a Tag# on the SUV leaving the scene?
Tag readers in the cities are a tool. We are all paying for every one of them you know.

I was at the Wendy's drive through when I heard the shots last night - 8 pops. That was the first time I've heard active shooting close to my neighborhood. I agree with those who have concerns about losing the sheriff's deputies in the parking lot.

10:22 Madison and Ranking Counties have less crime, but it's not because of "strict law enforcement". It is because of the quality of the people that live there.

With Prime gone and only a few JSU games using the football stadium, how about selling tickets for these disputes to be settled by hand-to-hand fights? And the "gladiators" would get paid.

December 19, 2022 at 9:48 AM, I pulled out my handy decoder ring, that I save for such times. I used it on the post you referenced, and the answer is that the post is a classic, “whataboutism”.

Whatabout these folks doing this, or whatabout those folks doing that. Since everybody is doing something, there's no problem. Everything is fixed with a whataboutism. Of course the victim would disagree, but what the hell does the victim know? Classic.

I'm currently offering a limited number of franchise opportunities in the Jackson MS (aka Murdertown USA) area for mobile "Condolence Trucks". Each truck comes equipped with a supply of vigil candles, helium balloons for the memorial balloon releases, and a compact screen printer for adding the decedent's face on the obligatory "In memory of Mookie" t-shirts. These things are guaranteed winners if you can keep the truck from being stolen.
Call for details.

Jackson and its current leadership can be counted on for nothing. Yes you must have your own security, your own water, your own streets. What the heck does Chok do?

Did they remove the deputies from patrolling that Kroger to pay for the Tyrone Lewis-ish Christmas billboard of the Sheriff on High Street. My tax dollars just going to waste….

Who knows? Since the parking lot is private property, by what authority was the S.O. ensuring security there? Were the S.O. deputies on their own time or the county's clock? Were they paid by Kroger? Who removed them - the contract with Kroger or the Sheriff?

Can Kroger get the Capitol Police to guard their property, heard that police force wants to expand and needs revenue

This story has been buried. How are the victims? Any leads on shooter?
