Jackson Jambalaya

It normally goes unanswered, maybe the phone company will take over the calls.

Check and make sure they paid the phone bill!!

so just a typical day in Cracktown

It's only a perception of a 9-1-1 outage. Right?

This means that if you are just barely outside the city limits of Jackistan and call 9-1-1, your call may not be answered, even if you are in Ridgeland, the county, or Clinton.

Is there such a thing as a 4th world city?

WAKE UP! residents of Jackson.
Vote every politician in Jackson Out of Office! ASAP.
Whatever it takes. Right. Right.

Is anyone other than this blog paying attention to a notice from COJ?

While I have a gun in my face, I am supposed to check their website and then promptly dial (601) 960-1111.

When government fails to provide basic human needs the governed will eventually revolt. The most recent example is the Taliban in Afghanistan. They led an insurgence against the established government. When the population got enough of the ineffectual government in place they supported the insurgence.
I wonder at what point the citizens of Jackson will find another way?

Tomorrow, solar flares will cause the disruption...then, flooding...locusts.

There was only like one operator on duty anyway

People in Jackson have long given up on Government.

Street justice has replaced the police and justice system.

If someone is hurt and dies, they die.

If something burns and the fire department doesn't show up, it burns.

If someone needs something and cannot afford it, they steal it.

The people of Jackson move along. They don't think about revolting or voting people out. Long past that point of caring.

Jackson's government is a cartel. They just look different than cartels in the movies.

@10:37, at no point will Jacksonians find another way, a more competent leadership. Jacksonians prefer little to no services provided by their own kind. If having social services and utilities means their own kind do not do the providing, they would prefer being without.

Sincerely, I hope I’ve worded this to meet the approval of the JJ censors.

Let the Feds take over Jackson 911. They could divert calls to the IRS. Wait, the IRS has a 70% drop rate. Of course, calls to the IRS are not urgent, but same attitude.

11:21 for the absolute win of the year on JJ.

Perfectly spoken.

Radical and Progressive 9-1-1 service.

Thanks, Chok!

This is what the voters wanted.

Volunteer Librarians, lately dismissed from local decrepit libraries, are attending corpses and outlining in chalk.

"their own kind".
Seriously, 11:21???
You too, 12:37.

No, this is NOT what the voters wanted. Look at the embarrassingly low # of votes it too for Lumumba to "win"! There were around 17 candidates, none with strong name recognition. Most stayed home because there were no viable options. Others selected one of the 17 for various reasons, and the vote was split too many ways. So Lumumba's embarrassing numbers rose to the top.

Since "this is NOT what the voters wanted" 2:34

I am curious what said voters are doing in preparation for the next election...to you know, ensure a viable candidate is on the ballot next time?

Are the voters encouraging potential candidates now and creating name recognition and momentum for those people, so that they WILL have a leader that does represent what they want?

I want Jxn to improve, and it makes me sad that there is no grassroots action or responsibility taken that I can see from these voters that you state, basically had no choice last time.
