Who moves out of Jackson because of the red lights?

Lights are always out across Jackson. What a third world shithole.

Cool Kingfish. I thought, I was the only one who watched videos like this.

Jackson once had a magnificent, well trained Traffic Engineer. But he was White. Jackson replaced him with a Black woman who was politically 'qualified'. Gene Magee hired the fantastic Traffic Engineer for Ridgeland. He was likely better paid and in better company up there. He moved up in responsibilities and pay. A new Traffic Engineer now runs that department in Ridgeland and has a specialist who is Black who personally adjusts all the traffic signals in that city. I have met them, they both love their jobs and are professional.
Jackson lets conditions run to 3rd world dangerous, then subs the signal work out to do a half -assed fix.
Horhn needs to beg Magee to school him in how to run a city.

You ask if non functioning traffic signals provokes one to move away? That is not a stand alone issue. Degenerate, aggressive, homeless beggars at intersections and in retail parking lots and downtown, plus spreading crime, plus bomb-cratered streets, plus persistent nasty habits of littering, plus an entitled under class who want free stuff, plus nonfunctioning traffic lights does run people out, yes.

And the city council voted to buy another building ???

Not new building another building that needs to be upgraded and maintained

Curious. "Krusatyr" wrote, "Gene Magee (sic) hired the fantastic Traffic Engineer...," and "Horhn (spelled correctly) needs to beg (presumably the same Gene) Magee (sic) to school him..." Combined with other posts under the same handle, it becomes...curiouser and curiouser.

It's the incompetence, inciting hatred, playing the race card, and throwing the rock and hiding the hand tactics that the majority culture uses while playing the victim which has destroyed the heart and soul of this once thriving city.

Must be something in the water (pun intended).

A signal vendor or road contractor trolling for business?

Three minutes into the video this guru runs through an intersection with the light clearly RED. He did not clear the intersection before it changed to RED.

Tax dollars in Jackson are pilfered, or go towards supporting Democrat voters financially, so they will keep voting Democrat. When everyone is living off of the government, there's nothing left to spend on infrastructure. It's all about redistribution of wealth in Jackson, not properly running a city.

Even when they are working, most native Jacksonian drivers completely ignore the traffic signals anyway.

The only traffic light I've seen "out" wasn't ever needed. It should have always been a 4-way stop. But, keep on bashing Jackson so the legislature can continue send funds to Podunk, MS.

WLBT reports that home values have surged 32% in Jackson. Bwa, ha, ha, ha. That bridge that I have for sale also surged in value. Bwa, ha, ha, ha.

I know exactly where he is. Clinton BLVD. I travel that stretch quite often. I remember when that light was not even working, then they put it up that way. Going east is not too bad but going west the light in the left lane doesn't work so if you aren't looking at the right light you will run it if it turns red. There is only one side street that enters the intersection and the fire truck from the other side.

A couple of months ago, the light at Meadowbrook and North State was out for several days. The City put up plastic barricades and 4 way stop signs. Normally that would suffice but the usual assholes didn't stop and a great number of people stopped and had no clue what to do next. This city's only hope is a huge influx of people with an IQ over 80. I don't see that happening.

You must be fun at parties.

There was a long period when the light at Northside and McWillie was rarely working but that's another light that the ferals ignore. It's part of the racetrack that encircles Fondren.

Kingfish said...

BS. There is no traffic signal right now at Colonial and Old Canton Road. Temp. 4 way stop. The lights at East County Line & Old Canton and Ridgewood & Briarwood constantly go out. All that is in Northeast Jackson, the supposedly better part of town. Can't imagine what it is like in South and West Jackson

9:31 it’s true. You don’t realize that houses in Jackson on good streets are among the highest quality. Houses are made of cardboard now by illegals that only work fast and don’t know what they’re doing. And Jackson has the best restaurants in Mississippi. And Capitol PD has crime under control in the CCID. And the roads are no worse than those in Gluckstadt/Madison really. Suck it!!

City has no traffic engineer?

Anonymous said...

What happened to all of the street signs? Are the people stealing them or has Stokes changed all of the names of the streets and no one has put up new ones?

Anonymous said...

I guess this too is the fault of The White Devil.

Anonymous said...

As I type this, the light on Old Canton Road in front of the old Colonial Country Club is not only out, it's GONE. Replaced by stop signs on sawhorses. Get your facts straight.

Traffic engineer??? Surely you jest; hell, the city just now has AN engineer; went for a couple of years with no engineer.

I noticed that red light running too. What a tool.

I'm taking a break, here, having watched about a third of the video. The guy's gruesome White Trash accent ('Time' pronounced as 'Tom', and 'Hard R' sounds which go on forever, as only two examples), peppered with the overpronunciation of 'A' and 'The' - as if this will make him sound "professional" - are so DISTRACTING, it's hard to focus on the excellent points being made.

10:33 Exaggerate much.. ? HaHa

"Houses are made of cardboard now by illegals that only work fast and don’t know what they’re doing."....

"Jackson has the best restaurants in Mississippi."...

" And Capitol PD has crime under control in the CCID."

" And the roads are no worse than those in Gluckstadt/Madison really."

HaHaHa.. such wild, desperate, juvenile comments.

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.
