Jackson Jambalaya

Jackson is truly a city of diversity, equity and inclusion, even the city council employs those with special needs.

I appreciate the investigative work of the honorable detective Kenneth Stoke, but it is high time the sleuth flew up to roost.

Stokes is back on WLBT again tonight. If Stokes truly wanted effective leadership, he’d resign his seat on the City Council. Then maybe someone effective could get elected and his Ward would actually improve. As long as Stokes is in power, his Ward will continue to decline and he will continue to be all empty talk.

Harris needs to get a restraining order on Stokes.

Stokes is a slum landlord in W. Jackson.

Seriously Jackson needs Stokes because every circus needs a clown

This shows what a nightmare our former mayor was, that he made Kennef Stokes seem like a voice of reason.

words cannot constitute an assault.

5:40, people have been saying that about Bennie Thompson for 20 years. No one ever resigns.

Sorry, but Stokes ward won't decline any more; it's already hit rock bottom.

Unless you're talking about manually picking up litter, NO City Councilperson in Jackson has the ability to improve their ward.

it could cross the line to slander/libel or the RICO

11:32 PM kind of sums it up. Yea the murder rate might fall to half and some good may come here and there, but doing what it really takes to make Jackson Great Again would require what Democrats will never do: get crime rates compatible with the Republican controlled suburbs.

Because the Party of Crime doesn’t want people that don’t vote Democrat moving back into Jackson (children’s lives would be saved but that’s not worth the risk of Dems losing control).

P.S. Now if we can find a way to require that Democrats (like the so-called Heavy Hitter Lawyer that was shilling for the Billionaire heiress No Kings scam) actually live in the City’s that their party has destroyed (and no gates allowed), i.e. keep their sorry _____ out of our areas so they don’t destroy them as well, cities like Jackson might THEN have a chance of making progress.

The citizens who vote have chosen what they want their city to be like.

@6:38am I agree with you, but to me it seems with Cap PD in the picture it isn't up to the city anymore. Anywhere in the CCID is pretty much safe now. Of course, there are domestic incidents of homicide but no more of the brazen car jackings and home invasions. It's actually been very nice lately. Would be great to see CCID expand to County Line.

You always get the government you deserve.

And just like that nobody talked anymore about how they wanted Kenny as mayor and one of those STOKES caps.

Stokes is now complaining that "blight" in his ward is chasing away churches. Stokes has been a councilman for 36 friggin' years, so this all happened on his watch. He is dodging the issue of why there is "blight," and is "blight" really causing churches to leave, or is it crime?

So true. Like cockroaches, they have disappeared when light was shed on the real Stokes.

Stokes is all talk, just look at his ward.

Instead of personal attacks, suggest what you'd do differently.
One of the problems is that county officials in Mississippi have more power and get more funding than is justifiable given their populations.
Mississippi has political fiefdoms.
The notion that a city council works for only the city and the county commissioners only for the county and the state legislature works only for the state and has not concern for the nation is absurd. There is supposed to be a co-operative component in government so the lowest on the totem pole is able to get their problems addressed at the national level if necessary.
The idiocy was obvious. Though I built in an established county subdivision on one of the few remaining lots, I had to call my county supervisor to purchase culvert pipes for my lot. Culvert pipes should have been a requirement for the developer of the subdivision as well as the streets in the subdivision. These were not lots with acreage. That was unheard of elsewhere and I hope it no longer happens in Mississippi. Also, the quality of the water pipes and sewer pipes and access should a state concern...you know the " leg bone is connected to the hip bone" kind of thing. That villages can become towns, and towns become cities isn't exactly a secret.
Mississippi and other small states create government jobs for the politicians and controlled by the politicians and their benefactors. The risk becomes government being the primary employer to the detriment of growth and prosperity.
It's not like we don't have thousands of years of human history to know what works best and what has failed in civilization. Now we have computers to help gather relevant information on every issue, but those we elect have to be willing to admit what they don't know and find out what they need to know to make good decisions.

Harris throwing rocks at Stokes' car as he drives by would complete the picture.

I, for one, truly thank these folks for the free entertainment.

I'm pretty sure it's supposed to expand up to County Line in 2026.

8:38 AM, the Capitol Police can only do so much and the Democrat Catch & Release Marxist Leftist Judges will continue with their revolving door system of allowing their violent criminal partners to roam the streets to keep non-Democrat voters out of Jackson.

Watch Netflix “Fear City” to see how bad the NYC crime was before Republican Giuliani cleaned it up. It only took 4 years of Bill de Blasio to ruin the city again. And now NYC has a commie Muslim Mayor. Can’t make it up.

Since crime is one of the most used tactics of the Democrat Party…we are never going to agree and therefore must find a way to make Democrats only live in their cities (without gates) and to stay out of ours.

Stokes has lived in his mom's home for years. Public records indicate that she died in 2014, but she is still listed as the sole owner and...wait for it...county records show that there is still a homestead exemption on that property.

That's slander per se if false which makes you wonder why not sue for that. Damages would not need to be proven.
