Cue Chief Wade saying his boilerplate "We're not going to tolerate this" in 3... 2... 1...
Well at least no one died, sucks that I have bar that low
Is this still a "perception" of crime?
Not much good happens after midnight, especially in third world Jackson.
Hey Anonymous @ 10:54am this joke would've landed if his name was Chief Bo Lucky nice try though #CCID
Fondren property values dropping another 10% in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...
The pen is mightier than the sword. But then again how many of us in Mississippi can read or write
Nothing will ever change in the COJ. It will only get worse.
I'm glad I'm old and no longer need to go near there with no Cherokee or Dutch Bar to go to.
Sunday night is race night in Jackson in which every idiot with a car modified to break the sound barrier rides down Northside, up 55, up and down State and Meadowbrook. Another reason why Jackson is not a peaceful place to live. Crowds gather in the parking lots along State and in front of the plasma building. The existence of raucous clubs like Taste, etc, doesn't help.
I guess their employers gave them Monday off.
I used to go to that area constantly, to the fire sale store, movie theatre, Marneys, Dutch Bar, etc. The last time I drove through, however, it reminded me of Mogadishu.
Sure smells like Madison in these comments. I get it. You need to find something to inflate your self worth after you found out your neighbor with a newer leased truck has been smashing your wife.
Only an asteroid can help it now.
Palm trees = Taste parking lot
I keep saying this is a culture problem. Even though Capital Police are trying they can’t stop this from happening. This culture was created over decades and there is no easy solution.
Deep redeeming culture.
This happened between Parlour Room and Taste. The neighbors have been complaining out the late night noise, traffic, and illegal parking since these places opened. The previous administration protected these places, but I'm hoping the new mayor will put his foot down and do something.
When caught, and they will be caught, I want to know how many charges each one has already on the books and some damn judge let them go. If needed, start sending the cases to any judge other than Hinds County so these criminals will actually go to jail.
Sailer's law of mass shootings wins again.
SAFE: Stop And Frisk Everyone in those areas with the most shootings. Punks will start leaving guns at home.
I agree with the previous post. It is a culture problem. It all started with fatherless homes. Just look at the all black areas in the 1940's and 1950's, when the black community still took pride in itself and consisted of the traditional family unit. Farish St. and areas like it were booming. It is too far gone to repair in areas like Jackson that are demographically lopsided.
