The Republic of Jackson is at it again.
The man behind this scheme is Ramzu Yunus. He pulled a similar hoax up in Detroit several years ago. WXYZ (Detroit) reported in October 2021:
The city of Detroit is warning citizens about Yunus and his “free home” promise.
“He is the self-proclaimed leader of several organizations. Detroit Peoples Government. Humanitarian Occupation of Properties,” said Garcia.
In the past, Yunus has made noise at rallies promising people free homes.
Garcia says, “There are no free houses in the city of Detroit.”
Yunus and members of his organization tell Detroiters that they have the right to occupy homes without owning them.
He says there are dozens of victims who have fallen for this scam. People sign-up for a home and Yunus gives them a deed. “They have this piece of paper from the Detroit people’s government, is this legit? And of course, the Land Bank and the city of Detroit says ‘no this is a scam'," says Garcia. Wayne County’s 3rd Circuit Court granted the Detroit Land Bank Authority’s request for an injunction on Ramzu Yunus and his associated groups. Read the rest of the article.
Kingfish note: I've no idea if the event took place. Got caught up studying the Book of Enoch after getting a facial and massage and just lost track of time.

You've already worked your way through Jubilees?
First, what type of person WANTS a “free house”?
Second, how isn’t this illegal?
Typical Jackson bullshit.

I would bet there were quite a few Jackson citizens there with their hands out. The city should be able to let them have a free house. Just give them one that people have abandoned and let for taxes. Some might need a little TLC.
He needs to take his ass back to Detroit. Let me guess when Detroit started gentrification a few yrs back and elected a white mayor he fled
The more than 500 abandoned homes in Jackson are available.
Cute little hats.
A clown show. Jackson makes the loonies feel very comfortable with their revolutionary bulltalk. They know they have no houses and absolutely no money but if they can get people to just notice them they will be happy. So they make outlandish statements hoping for some publicity and a chance to wear their little hats and spout their slogans real loud. A clown show. Move on.
I’m not sure if you are serious or being facetious.
🧐 The Book of Enoch is a really good audiobook.
He is a racist scam artist just like the dummy Lumumba
One day republicans in this state will be outnumbered. Then just watch how fast things fall apart once a leftist is elected Governor
These are not serious people.
Most weed-grown empty houses in WJxn, SJxn would not pass an inspection for occupancy.
But temporarily vacated homes could be claim jumped by squatters with a fake deed. National news has recently told stories of actual owners spending months in court to evict a squatter. This Detroit scammer specializes in fake deeds for squatters.
I already have a home, but would be very interested in the free water and electricity; that was very benevolent of Henefin and Fisackerly to work with Mr. Yunus to provide that benefit.
Do those 500 free houses in Jackson have free water and electricity? Please provide addresses. Also, it might help if they have plumbing.
I had no idea men got facials. I think Tom Head does that. What color are you nails now?
Is Chock putting him up at one of the more reputable extended stays or is he lodging at Chock's place?
I have a friend who luckily attained one of the houses. He was extremely happy with it with the exceptions of Rats, Spiders, leaking roof, plumbing problems, neighborhood theft, no response from the Jackson Police Dept. Within an hour and a half after being notified. I could go on, but I hope I got my message across. Please respond. BTW, the JPD knows how to dress up and ride expensive Motor cycles at parades like Saint Patty’s day.
I do not owe anyone anything except the bank that holds my mortgage and the finance company that has the lien on my work truck. You know, some people don’t have college loans to pay back or demand free housing. This isn’t going to sit well with us suburbanites.
KF, why do we need read about your trip to the spa for a rundown and manicure? Are you trying to brag or something?
Why does so much of this kind of bullshit seem to trace back to Detroit?
"Human Rights Policy Officer".....HRPC for all of you unable to speak with out depending on acronyms to complete your sentence's...just what is a human rights policy officer?
Do you make a “story” of every stupid thing that a private group does in the burbs too?
Those blue beanies need to take a trip up a certain part of their anatomy's. Things in Jackson are horrible enough with out these Jackasses down here stirring the pot.
Yunus! A real stand up guy! Lol!
@7:22 AM
Please post up about these stupid things private groups do in the 'burbs. Links too!
The Book of Enoch, as in the apocryphal Biblical text, or a novel of the same name?
The left now calls residential burglars "squatters." Try squatting in my neighborhood and you will get ventilated.
How did this scam artist get access to the Jackson City Hall? The mayor? A council person?
@9:00
This scam artists is in with the loser mayor of Jackson. Soon as Detroit started gaining white population and gentrification set in and they elected a white mayor in Detroit this scum bag fled and came here. He’s a true idiot with a low IQ much like our radical mayor.
"One day republicans in this state will be outnumbered."
If that day comes in Mississippi, it's because the Republican party has backed people and causes that are so far outside of what taxpaying, law-abiding conservatives can support, that they just can no longer in good conscience vote Republican.
In other words, once the Republican Party completes in transformation into the Libertarian Party and the Party of Kooks, which stands for nothing except pure politics, it will cease to be a relevant force.
It think it has made a very strong push in that direction in the last 15 years.

The day that happens I move to a red state. Probably Florida. At least they have good beaches.

"....except the finance company that has the lien on my work truck...This isn’t going to sit well with us suburbanites."
Let me help you, Bubba...People who drive 'work trucks' don't drive them home in most of your suburbia. And suburbanites 'round here don't have liens on vehicles. We always pay cash.
If you truly live in suburbia, you don't, on your property, park a business vehicle with a logo on the door, you don't park anything on the street, you don't park off your driveway or park longer than three days without showing that the vehicle will crank...
@2:21
That’s odd bc my truck is wrapped I live in Madison and I park it in my driveway everyday and night. I can tell you I work in suburban areas and in northeast Jackson and people don’t care about that.
Probly Madison has no rental houses with 5 or more illegal males crowded in and parking across the front yard, between the furniture and appliances tossed out.
Butt-head: Hey Beavis .... someone said Tom Head ... Huh Huh huh.
Beavis: Huh huh huh ... I had forgotten about that guy.
Butt-head: Yeah ! Yeah ! He's the guy that can explain all of the online degree options.
I live in MadCo, and it's in our covenants not to have vehicles like that in front of your property. It's not enforced just like leash laws.
@ 3:36 - That's because your wrapped truck is a pickup and you drive it through the car-wash once a week or more.
Some call it over-reach. Others call it pride in property. Some people have never experienced pride at any level, in fact they're taught to be proud of nothing. That's a terrible fact or reality.
And don't start yacking about poverty...even the poorest of people I grew up with had pride in who they were and what they represented.
