Jackson Jambalaya

"near the home"? There are shootings near my home everyday.

No gun reform legislation yet Cindy?

Knowing where she lives, they were more than likely sighting in rifles for deer season.

"Shooting" is not the same as shots fired. Hunters? Target practice? Plinking? Firecrackers?

Hey Cindy - is this your wake up call that you live in Mississippi and it’s hunting season? Remember that when you shop in highland village where your constituents handle gunshots every day and night. Maybe if you’d step out of those high heels behind a desk you’d have a clue as what most of the workforce faces every day- faces - not hears nearby. Handle your own Cindy

What superb nonsense to report an occurrence of gunfire out there in the country.

Addendumber: She's not a state employee or member of our state legislature - Given that, why did the Cap PoPo jump to attention and bust open the biscuits and grape jelly?

ok and?

Like her or not, this sounds more serious than most of you know it alls are making it out to be. Shots fired from a 9mm towards the car of a family member as they drove up the driveway. A vehicle was seen speeding away.

Per Mississippi Today...
"The shots were fired from a 9 mm weapon, according to a law enforcement source, and were fired in the general direction of the vehicle of a family member of Hyde-Smith’s as the person drove up the driveway toward the house near Brookhaven in south Mississippi.

The incident occurred about 12:30 p.m. Sunday. After the shooting, a witness saw a vehicle speeding away."

I'm not sure which family members these are, but I'm thinking all of Cindy Hyde-Smith's family probably grew up "in the country" like she did and they certainly could tell the difference between some random hunter shooting in the woods and this incident. If it had just been the former, this certainly wouldn't be news.

@2:11pm, KF noted it’s the US Capitol Police that is going to investigate because she is a US Senator

Brookhaven is lost.

2:16 - what does a 9mm sound like compared to other calibers? also, what the frack?

"She's not a state employee or member of our state legislature - Given that, why did the Cap PoPo jump to attention and bust open the biscuits and grape jelly?"

Read again 2:11 PM.
Only this time a bit slower.

This is the not our Capitol Police. It's the Capitol Police from Washington D.C.

@3:58.

I can definitely tell the difference in calibers by sound. A random person might not be able to tell a 9mm from a .38 but most can definitely tell a 9mm from a shotgun or rifle. It’s a big difference. One is like a staccato whip crack and one sounds like thunder.

Jackson definitely has a horrible crime problem but stuff like this is happening all over Mississippi. Brookhaven, McComb, Vicksburg, Meridian, etc. etc.

"The shots were fired from a 9 mm weapon, according to a law enforcement source, and were fired in the general direction of the vehicle of a family member of Hyde-Smith’s as the person drove up the driveway toward the house near Brookhaven in south Mississippi."

This sounds much more serious than some numbskulls bloviating on this site seem to realize.

I grew up around hunting land, and shots in the distance during hunting season are no big deal (hell - even near hunting season was no cause for alarm).

But shots fired at or towards an occupied vehicle, in the driveway of a US Senator? You have to be a special kind of stupid to not realize what that might mean....

6:13… Special,kind of stupid or 16 years old…. 1983 ish I picked up my gal and parked around the corner. Cops came and asked us to get dressed. The lady cop finally said “Not in front of Mayor Danks house again, OK?”
I was a special kind of stupid that day!

Imagine being such a psychopathic gun nut that you can tell the different sounds of guns!

"Again " ?

Gawd 6:55, that's funny.

Danks had a very nice house, but it was almost on the Pearl River.
(at the end of Meadowbrook).

If you and your "gal" had driven another twenty-five yards, both of you could have got'n buck ass neck'id
on a Pearl River sandbar without any interference.

But back to the topic, I'm so glad the Riverside Drive fiasco is being exposed.

It looks like it's too late to tell 7:28 not to get stuck on stupid.

7:28 - you deserve anything you get.

6:13… Special,kind of stupid or 16 years old…. 1983 ish I picked up my gal and parked around the corner. Cops came and asked us to get dressed. The lady cop finally said “Not in front of Mayor Danks house again, OK?” I was a special kind of stupid that day!

Good for you! I doubt very seriously you had the location of your car on your mind when the cops came knocking. Pretty sure they got a good laugh out of the situation as did you when retelling the tale to your friends. Your "gal", probably not so then, but in later life even she gets a chuckle every now and then thinking about it.

Some of y’all don’t understand the difference and the importance of shots fired near your place of abode compared to shots fired near the place of abode of one of the elite, protected class. They are critical to our continued existence as a nation; you are not.

When can we expect Barney to show up on his motor-sickle with Andrew in the side-car?

The incompetent US Cap PoPo reports to a non-existent House Majority Leader. Seems the FBI would be assigned. Tell me this...Which federal agenc(ies) would be down here two days later if the gunfire had occurred at a certain House member's residence out from Bolton, MS. At least ATF, FBI and the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division.

1:31pm Gunshots every night near Highland Village?
Whaddaya call "near" 4-5 miles on the other side of I-55?

Stop lying/exaggerating for political purpose.

Some of us live "near" Highland Village and we aren't hearing gunfire "every night" or even when it did occur once starting on the other side of the highway but not so we'd hear it.
Your lies hurt our property values should our jobs take us elsewhere but then you only care about your own "acceptance" in a political cult or finding some way to justify whatever prejudices you embrace.

The extremists like you of both parties who will lie and exaggerate and misinform to show party loyalty are traitors now as far as I'm concerned. We have a threat of war and threats from China(that has aligned now with Russia and North Korea) and people like you voted in idiots that are keeping Congress from functioning! Your idiots are keeping the military from promotions to get officers in the correct place to lead should we get attacked.

You even think you are voting to "strengthen" the right to vote when you are doing the exact opposite. And, you do that because you f'ing don't bother to know how a voting machine works. You think it's like your computer ,dummy and that someone can "connect" to it and change how it works on one day and only with one candidate on the ballot. You don't know what it is your clerks of court and election officials and volunteers DO that insures the votes are made by registered voters ALL YEAR LONG not just on election day.

But, you will listen to any uninformed, uneducated idiot or con man for YOUR PARTY! You may can goose step but you are too poorly put together to dance!

@ 5:31 - No you can't. You just think you can.

In general: They may have determined the caliber from empty brass left behind.

@9:16 AM - Au contraire - I can easily tell the difference between a .22LR and a 105mm Howitzer.

But will she turn more RINO on us and join the "take away the guns" crowd?

I live in NE Jackson and have heard quite a few gunshots that were alot closer than 4-5 miles away as you put it. Usually sound like they are coming from Ridgeland Park area or over by New Jerusalem.

9:16: You are correct. Empty brass.

“you will listen to any uninformed, uneducated idiot or con man”, that's not true, I don't listen to you.
