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.

Yes, because the cops on the Interstate were supposed to jump out of their cars and jump down to the Exxon?

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.

Anonymous said...

Add an additional tax on the wealthiest in Jackson to fund more police. That is what Belhaven has done.

Anonymous said...

Wonder if anyone involved in this "ambush" already has an arrest record ?

Anonymous said...

@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.

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?

Unknown said...

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."

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.

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.

Where are the Damn Crime Stats? said...

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.

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.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
