This place is a public nuisance and ought to be closed down. Longtime gathering place for the city's crotch rocketeers, and now this. I used to go in there for Sweet Daddy's ribs, but that was years ago.
Go to sweet daddy's every so often. Good service and the staff friendly.
Broad daylight. I saw the cops from I55. SMDH

Yes, because the cops on the Interstate were supposed to jump out of their cars and jump down to the Exxon?
soon to be green space
Just another routine day in America's most radical city. Move along. Nothing to see here.
Just wait until the liquor store opens up across the street.
Does Char now offer body armor if you forget and leave yours at home? And can you reserve a table by a brick wall instead of a window?
Get out of NE Jackson while you can. Leave all belongings if necessary.
Probably another drug deal gone bad
10:30- I am not 10:21 but I think you need to read more carefully.
10:21 seems to simply be stating that they (10:21) witnessed the blue lights/activity (the cops at the scene) as they (10:21) passed by. Meaning 10:21 was driving on I-55.
I don't see where 10:21 implied that cops were driving by (negligently?) on I-55 or that 10:21 felt the cops should Dukes-of-Hazard themselves off the over pass?
Expand and More funding for the capital police again please.
Add an additional tax on the wealthiest in Jackson to fund more police. That is what Belhaven has done.
Wonder if anyone involved in this "ambush" already has an arrest record ?
@12:26 Belhaven doesn't fund the capital police. The entire state pays for them and Belhaven is the recipient of that welfare spending.
As long as it stays there. They wanted it, so let it stay there.

>Dukes-of-Hazard themselves off the over pass
It would truly be a sight to see. It would be up there with me getting a front row seat to a BMW t-boning an Escalade at the Adkins stoplight 6 years ago.
A little while back there was another shooting at a Jackson gas station. Lots of shots fired but no one was hit. This time they came up to the car and shot the people inside of the car. The thugs are learning that shooting fish in a barrel is easier than shooting a running target.
Mr Mayor work your magic call Pastor Pickett. Chief Davis get ready to guard the Pastor!
Lock them up and quit letting them out! 1 million dollar bond! If they can come up with that I’m quitting my job!
Do you realize that virtually every Madison County resident who works in Jackson drives or rides right by this place twice a day?
I wonder if Lumumba heard the shots while eating at Char, or has Highland Village become too dangerous for him these days?
They was just mad they didnt have no clean water to wash they hands. I blame the mayor.
All of those shots fired and not one hits a fuel pump? Amazing!
Criminals know that they have a 10% chance of going to prison for committing crimes in Jackson and Hinds County.
Now these fools know right from wrong because they will not go into another jurisdiction with this type behavior.
Bleeding hearts representing Hinds County and Jackson keep playing games with them, they are going to fool you and hurt one your loved ones. It’s just a matter of time.
No meaningful consequences for the people that commit crimes in Jackson!
10:30: Slow down and carefully re-read the comment at 10:21. Pay particular attention to the word "from."
"All of those shots fired and not one hits a fuel pump? Amazing!"
Not really. They were using rifles against non-moving targets.
Hey, not to worry!
According to WAPT Chief James Davis, Jackson's police chief says that crime in Jackson is down 29.5% last year!!
If that is not a bald faced lie, I don't know what is.
And we can't look for ourselves, because our wonderful mayor has made sure we have no access to the information anymore.
Is there ANYTHING good about Jackson anymore?
This was obviously cause by Climate Change and the height of water meters in Jackson….
"Law enforcement sources said several men walked emerged from behind the building with rifles, walked over to a parked white Chevy truck, and shot into the vehicle. JPD said the victims suffered life-threatening injuries. The suspect is currently at large."
POP QUIZ: If 'several walked emerged (sic)" and "..walked over..and shot into the vehicle" and a suspect (singular) is currently at large, what happened to the rest of the several?
Bonus Question: How much do a bookkeeper at a Jackson Funeral Parlor make?
I guess one of the more upsetting things is hard hardened used to this we are getting. We all remember when Ellis Avenue was a hustlin bustling part of the Bold New City. Then crime slipped in some businesses started to close and a nut case starts shooting at people from closed Po Folks and that was it for the entire area. We are now talking about Northside drive Highland village maywood mart if we cede this area to the thugs this truly will be the end of Jackson. This area must be kept. If it's not already too late. Capital Police, more police I dont care but we msut save this area and start to reclaim Jackson
No, it was caused by America’s gun culture that allows every thug access to a pistol. This is not what the Founding Fathers envisioned.
"According to WAPT Chief James Davis, Jackson's police chief says that crime in Jackson is down 29.5% last year!!"
When crimes are not reported by LE Agencies, there is no crime. Was a favored tactic in Canton years ago. Back then Vicky McNeil made out like Canton was a quaint B&B city.
When the puppet Chief Davis talks Chowke is pulling the strings.
7:46 - Take a breath and give us your estimate of the number of gun crimes perped by 'kids' under 21, each of whom is illegally in possession of a gun. Do you really believe 'America's gun culture' allows those children to possess firearms.
If there was a way to determine the percentage of gun-thefts that later resulted in additional crimes, you'd fall off you Fondren bar-stool. I'd bet a thousand dollars that at least 90% of the guns used in Jackson crimes involves stolen guns, guns loaned by friend-boys or bought on the cheap from other criminals.
But, nice try at attempting to blame crime on society.
Much easier to blame inanimate objects than dumb ass humans, right 7:46?
I know I cuss those trailer hitches on the back of trucks every time they assault my shin bones.
There really should be better government regulation of those boat and trailer hauling weapons that pickup owners irresponsibly install so that innocent people like me don't get hurt.
January 13, 2023 at 7:46 AM, is a mystic. They are channeling the framers of the constitution. I wonder what the charge is for a reading?
That's four homicides in one day (Wednesday). In addition to these two at the Exxon station, there was one on Charleston Avenue, and another on Stokes Robertson Road.
