Can We Have Nice Things?

Was there a ruckus at Urban Air last night? WAPT reported: 

Chaos erupted in a newly opened trampoline park in Jackson after park goers say fights broke out sending the park into a lockdown.

According to Jackson police, a fight broke out inside Urban Air Adventure Park Saturday night.

Investigators say the kids involved went back to their cars to grab guns and tried to get back inside of the building, but were told to leave.

Reports say the kids started shooting in the parking lot. However, police have not been able to confirm whether or not there was a shooting outside.  WAPT story.

Urban Air issued the following statement on it's Facebook page today: 

 •Safety is our highest priority, and we take any disruption at our park very seriously.
•It’s important for our guests and employees to know there were no weapons found inside or outside of our facility, just misinformation being spread on social media.
•Local law enforcement can confirm this as well.
Thank you.

Let this be a lesson to anyone who even considers investing in Jackson.

You'd have to be a damned fool to open any business of this sort in Jackson - Or any other venue where yoots are likely to gather.

LOL! No you can’t. Disrespect, you get the TEC.

I hate to say it but the owner of this business just shot himself in the foot…no pun intended. Why would anyone in their right mind invest that much money in a crime ridden city? All I can say is we didn’t do things like this when we were growing up. The world is changing for the worse.

Stokes announced a proposal to outlaw gun sales in Jackson. Maybe enforce laws that help find stolen guns first. Like Stop and Search, perhaps by surprise roadblocks in high crime areas.

Around 6 weeks ago on a Friday afternoon I was having a drink at a local restaurant and it’s located in renaissance. I was waiting on 3 guys for a steak dinner with our poker group and a guy in a Alcorn state tee shirt was slouched down in a seat and his legs were long and obviously I accidentally stepped on his all white Nikes and he strode up and acted like he was going to kill me and everyone in there for disrespecting him. Clearly the manager asked him to leave but he refused until Ridgeland PD showed up escorted him out. It was a 15 minute ordeal for stepping on his shoes by accident. Manager apologized and once his crew left we enjoyed our evening. I’m shocked it happened at the steak house in ridgeland. I guess in naive

I recently listened to Thomas Sowell’s “White liberals and Black Rednecks” since so many of you people recommended him. According to Uncle Tom Sowell, he wrote that this is all white peoples fault. Thug culture is redneck culture and that means white southern “cracker” culture. That explains the Goon Squad too. You Niknar whites own it.

But let’s all go have a protest over how Heflin is not using “our” people to fix the water system. As if that’s Jackson’s biggest problem.

The owners moved here from Texas and apparently didn't do their homework about Jackson. However, even if they established their business in Ridgeland the Jackson thugs would still come there.

It's right next to the M-Bar. What could possibly go wrong? Now the owners know why they got such a good deal on their building.

No KF, we can't have nice things. Jakson thugs ruin literally everything they touch. The mayor refuses to call out the violence or do anything about it other than a pre-election photo-op with Tate and Capital Police for a perception of giving a damn. For the Sake of Ridgeland, I hope top golf has tight security.

Anyone who follows local happenings knew this would occur. My question is who in the hell thought this would be a viable business in the first place? Don’t the people with this kind of money to invest know how to Google “Jackson crime?”

Excellent cinematography. Wonder when we'll see the full blown shootout.

When I saw on the local news that this place was opening I remarked to my wife that I wondered how long it would take for this place to turn into a s_it show. Not very long.

The thugs will be back. Film at 11.

Without several armed security guards, metal detectors, and a restricted parking area such a business cannot function for the entertainment of Jackson youth. But who wants to operate a business with those requirements?

That narrator must have some real experience dealing with an active shooter event. She never dropped the phone to gather the kids but just kept on focused on her phone and sure as hell not what was going on around her. The kids don’t seem to be her priority.

That's really too bad. The City of Jackson needs more constructive things for kids to do, but the bad seeds ruin it for everyone. What do you do when teenagers carry guns and aren't afraid to pull the trigger over something simple?

Anonymous said...

There is a large percentage of Jackson teens who crave any opportunity to shoot at somebody. Really. And this place is an open invitation.

Sad Day for our Country, State & City.
The Equality movement has made criminals = to law abiding citizens.

Stop & search roadblock have been made illegal by the NAACP, The Southern Poverty Law Center & the American Civil Liberties Union due to the perceived targeting of blacks.
But, if the city of Jackson was serious about lowering crime, they would use this effective tool to rid the streets of guns. this would remove all the stolen guns from Jackson which is around 60%.
Why doesn't Kenneth Stokes, the Mayor support this? I'm sure the common citizen would happily support this.

No guns were "found" because they were tossed.

How about a combination trampoline park and shooting range? That should work.

Top Golf and Walk On are the death nail of Ridgeland.

This place on County Line never had a chance. Business can’t move off of County Line quick enough.

No reliable water and bullets flying. I’m sure Bloomingdales and Neiman Marcus are lined up to open stores where there would be no reliable water, 911 does not answer, there are barely any police, there is trash thrown everywhere and there are always carjackings. And, not a damn crime solved or anyone in jail.

That corrupt M Bar is not their “good neighbor” either.

Urban Air needs to declare bankruptcy and run before their insurance liability carrier cancels them.

Chick-Fil-A needs to get out of there.

I love reading the comments and spotting the differences between the incidents with youths in the Rankin/Madison area and compare to those of Hinds county. Seems to me it's the same combination of youth, stupidity, thuggery, and machismo.

The owners obviously didn't talk to Chuk-e-Cheese, or any of the closed movie theatre owners.

This violent behavior will always crush any long lasting recreation sources.

Top Golf is 100% guaranteed to be a disaster. Ridgeland was foolish to let it ever happen.

Anonymous said...

All the Bridgewater folks that lost their minds over Costco should have directed that at Walk Ons.

It really seems to be inviting the criminal element to that area. I do think Top Golf will be facing hurdles too.

Its sad that we let Jackson criminal ruin so much, but you cannot make a change when the majority of the voting base is a criminal or has a loved one who is.

@1:36 PM "Ridgeland is on he lent side of County Line Road..." Maybe they will give up their guns for LENT.

@2:05 PM - Agree, and alcohol will be served there. Like stadiums and airport terminals, what could possibly go wrong.

Anonymous said...

As businesses leave Jackson, the thugs have to go to Ridgeland and Madison to rob and pillage. Besides, it's conveniently on the way to and from Canton. But, you can't put Walk Ons and Top Golf in the same category as M Bar...yet.

@3:39. Jackistan has tried several slogans, such as "Jackson -The Bold New City" and "Jackson- The City With Soul". It's time for a new one "Jackson - Nothing Left To Steal"!

I've eaten at Walk Ons it seemed safe to me. what am I missing? I saw blacks and whites enjoying lunch there. The area looks cheap with Costco, the gas station, and Wendy's there. I would have thought there would have been better planning.

Is Walk Ons a "gun free zone?"

Dammit @2:21. I laughed so hard I snorted bourbon out my nose. What a waste of good bourbon but what the hell, I got A Good laugh.

I don’t understand why they don’t have security in place and I would recommend a metal detector for that location. I hope the future planetarium learn from this which I’m looking forward to that 2025. I was planning to take my kids to urban air this weekend after seeing you tube videos from other states bc it appears super nice! It’s poor planning by owners by not having proper security in place for that location. Why should the innocent children suffer over some ignorant hoodlums, get the security in place!

Shooting all around your kids and your first instinct is to take your phone out?

10:11 PM, “Why should the innocent children suffer?”

Because leftist Democrats use crime to get and keep control of cities like Jackson for decades (forever?). Allowing rampant crime is a tactic to keep citizens that are smart enough not to reelect the same pro-lawlessness failure candidates like Chokwe - over and over and over.

Rich white Democrats trade their silence and refusal to be bipartisan in support of making Jackson safer – in exchange for the votes Chokwe et al can get them in state and national elections.

It’s too polite but still a great article:

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug.
