The good guys won a round in Ridgeland today.
A friend drove up to the intersection of Highway 51 and Colony Park around 3:40 PM today when he saw a black male and two black girls beating a white mother and her daughter in a rather violent fashion. He jumped out of the car with his pistol to intervene (He admitted later he thought he was nuts for doing so.). The thugs took off but not before he got a picture of their vehicle.
He called 911 and said "within 90 seconds" over ten law enforcement vehicles arrived on the scene. A search immediately began and presto, the police managed to catch the suspects.
Ridgeland Police Chief Bryan Myers said the suspects are being booked as this post is written. The two female suspects are in their teens. He said it was a road rage incident. The friend said apparently the victims' car was going too slow and the suspects took great offense to what they judged to be a lack of sufficient vehicular progress.
Ridgeland PD will issue a press release at a later time.

If this was Jackson the mother and child would be arrested.
Classic GGWAG (good guy with a gun). BZ!
Hate crime?
God bless that man, RPD & Madison Co. SD. This is the way it is supposed to work.
Good job to all involved! That’s called being a man.
How wonderful to read of a community that upholds law and order. Absolutely necessary to be in Jackson tomorrow and definitely dreading the appointment.
I came up on the intersection right as this happened. Never seen so many law enforcement show up in a literal blink of an eye. Was awesome to watch and reassuring that we’re well protected.
Live amongst snakes you will get bit…serpents don’t recognize zip codes.
This is getting ridiculous. Are the victims ok? Thank God for your friend.
Do we know if Derrick Johnson and his naacp are going to file a complaint or lawsuit?
For 15 years +/-, females have demonstrated unusual violence, partly coinciding with popularity of digital videos on social media. Is there a dietary or other environmental component?
They probably were upset that the mother was following the ridiculously slow school zone speed limit in front of Ridgeland HS. But seriously, I am glad this gentleman stepped up and got invoked. Could have been my family in need.
I travel Colony Park daily for work. The school zone is ridiculously slow but Ridgeland PD are out at least 2-3 days a week pulling people over for speeding in the zone. There are some rather aggressive drivers that will tailgate the entire way if you are driving the school zone speed limit, and I was almost hit last week by a speeding car weaving in and out of traffic at this intersection. Road rage/aggressive driving seems to have increased over the last few years.
I suspect the perps have poor impulse control. Kind of like small children. They also probably think the world revolves around them. The perception that the victims were driving too slow was probably a message aimed direclty at the perps.
Apparently the slow driving victims did not appreciate how valuable perps time must have been.
Great effort on everyone's part!
Now, throw their asses absolutely under the jail. Maximum sentences for all.
i guess CNN or MSNBC are sending someone to interview this HERO!
I love Mississippi and live here and will die here but this incident is a snapshot of why we'll "never have nice things".
"Hate crime?" C'mon man.
@6:20
What a bizarre comment.
God bless the guy with the gun for helping. It truly is risking your own life to intervene. I am so happy this one ended well.
@940 check out Waffle House fights- videos on line and you will see the aggressive female behaviors being mentioned!
It’s cultural man! Culture is teaching disrespect, disregard for law and order! Before you say I’m racists poor whites , Hispanics etc are doing the same !
Society is collapsing around us. Arm yourselves and be prepared to defend yourself and your loved ones. Common curtesy is on her deathbed and soon lawlessness will reign. Small pockets of sanity with law and order will eventually be the only refuges law abiding citizens have left. We will scurry from one sanctuary to another, always looking out for a random attack.
A very crowded intersection and only ONE Good Samaritan...?!!
Have there been any arrests made or charges filed ?
Not an incident of road rage -- the parties knew each other and had an existing beef over something
These incidents only ever go in one direction.
Typical...thinking with instincts
