Jackson Jambalaya

I wonder if they had free food and drinks advertised on the flyer for the Boston Tea Party?

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!

The funny thing is to watch and see who the head grifter will be. When it is made clear who will be skimming off the top, the other grifters will rise up and effort a coup of the ones in charge demanding their "fair share" of the cut.

Then it will be a total disaster and the event will probably be cancelled.

Moving on.

FREE food and drinks…

They really do know how to get the constituents to show up.

Activate the National Guard. Suppress this insurrection.

Looks like an insurrection to me. Maybe Bennie will form a committee.

How do you claim you want reparations and independence in the same sentence?

Not all that different than listening to WYAB in the morning.

Who's behind this.....Sister Rukia?? Maybe they are trying to follow San Fran's lead on reparations.

I totally support this. Free the people from state and federal authority - as long as they free the people from state and federal funding. Not sure where they will otherwise get the money to give everybody $100K each, given that they don’t have money to fix the drinking water, sewer and roads. But if they are willing to support themselves, forgive crimes of all the “citizens” and let them be free - as long as they stay in their free “state.”

Paging Brother Bennie. Form that Committee.

I see trouble on this horizon, they better have metal detectors.....

Keep your powder dry.

The man behind the website is Ramzu Yunus (per the "Leadership" page of the website). A google search of his name finds lots of stories from Detroit. The news sites there refer to him as schemer, hoaxter, gunman, and "snake oil salesman."
His activities include handing out fake property deeds, promising $100,000 grant money, encouraging people to stop paying taxes, and shooting at someone trying to evict him from a home he was squatting in.
Quite a character.

Hope its' chicken, ribs and cat fish. I'm a coming.

Got to entice the masses with free food & drink to get them to show up. The "cause" isn't going to do it. ;)

From their website:

"You are now asked to envision a new independent Jackson that racist federal or state government can't usurp control of. A Jackson in which there is no poverty and every adult has a credit of $100,000 in their city treasury reparations account. Envision a Jackson where all housing is free while the empty properties and spaces are given away free to those who need housing. Imagine a Jackson whereas your electricity and water is not shut off but allocated to you for free. Place in your mind the idea of the marketplace being owned by the community so that you don't "spend" money but instead rotate it back into your own pockets. This is the new dispensation if YOU choose to assert your right of self-determination. This is the REPUBLIC OF JACKSON."

Sounds great. $100,000 to each person, free water and electricity, free housing, free food, etc. I'm in. But, uh, where do we get all the money to pay for this ?

Well you know if its a fish fry ... Bennie is behind it.

the expenses of this little party will all be paid for by a federal grant.

the federal grant.........the official coat of arms of the state of mississippi

Interesting web address there…

"Bring your own trash bag."

With the timing of the GA cease and desist are these political agitators just looking to influence elections in MS?

Bye Felicia……

Is this really newsworthy kingfish?

Or are you trying to rile up your readers, particularly those who love the Confederate flag, for cheap clicks?

Will they be picking up their trash?

Nothing will happen. The reaction to his outlandish statements is the goal of this type of foolery. He WANTS you to react as if you take this stuff seriously. That's his idea of credibility. DON'T take this BS seriously. On that day a few nuts will dress up for the cameras and NOTHING WILL HAPPEN.

@12:23 PM - You have a firm grasp on the obvious.

By July 4 all the rotting garbage will smell like freedom?

Kingfish and his pathetic peanut gallery of mediocre white males will be too scared to attend.

I just want it to happen, because I love train wrecks, dumpster fires, and people suffering based on their stupidity.

What a load of shit.......

"I see trouble on this horizon, they better have metal detectors". In Jackson? They don't have enough of those things. Besides, what would it matter? You have to have people man those things.

Hide the women and children-

It’s working about as expected

Shouldn’t they be doing this on Sunday, oh wait wrong resurrection.

I'm showing up disguised as Fred Sanford and my wife will be disguised as ahhnt Esther! We gonna call some names and create some mess, suckahs!

My neighbor wants to come along as George Jefferson, but my mule will ride only 2.

I hope the beverages will be to my liking. Pizza or chips ain't squat. I want ribs!

Democrats being Democrats!
Give me....Give me....Give me....Give me....!

Kingfish, I support your work on this site. You are a regular source of important news that other outlets ignore. For this reason, you've earned credibility among a lot of folks in this town. However, posts like this seem to detract from that hard-earned credibility. As far as anyone can tell, this event and the movement behind it seems like a nothing-burger. I'm at a loss as to why this is newsworthy, and my cynical side thinks it's really an attempt to rile up certain conservative elements of your readership. Come on, man. At some point, you might consider deciding whether you are (a) real journalist with the kind of journalistic integrity we all desperately want to see in our media or (b) an amateur blogger willing to employ tired and manipulative tactics to increase your revenue by stirring up a frenzy and drive web traffic. A bunch of us hope you decide to do the former.

See that jackassery mention at the top? 😁

5:08 Do you know of a better source of news such as this? Some of us want to know what outsiders are up to round these parts......

@5:08

I am John Birch Conservative and I love reading anything on this website.

Long Live Kingfish!!!

@5:08 PM - Don't go away mad...just go away.

“ Come on, man”, is that you, Joe B.

@5:08 I bet you watch The View & participate in the "Free the Land-Free the Water-Free the You Name It I Want It Free" Downtown Speeches!!

Come on man

Are they threatening to give NE jackso taxpayers their money back? If so count me in… I’d love to see these people without the white taxpayers funds.

What are the chances Clay Edwards will go and interview people?

Anything to distract y’all from knowing white women love having sex with they dogs

There’s even a phrase now for a white Oman and her dog… you just know

The same city,Detroit,where this Yunus is from is also where Lumumba was from who represented The Republic of New Afrika, in 1971.

Jackson and its leadership is a joke

What is a John Birch conservative? Is that worse than just being a conservative?

WYAB is still on the air?
