Jackson Jambalaya

He needs to speak on his horrible decision to hire PhD chief of JPD.

I think Horhn has made a number of bonehead decisions so far but this was a damn good message. Kudos for the effort!

I feel his passion, but “blah, blah, blah.” Heard it all many times before.

Not impressed. How many thugs with stolen guns and a grievance hear his worthless words? Only direct action and aggressive law enforcement by police, prosecutors and judges can make a positive difference.
SSAFE : Stop, Search, And Frisk Effectively, in criminal parts of town, with curfews, road blocks, prosecution and jail always works. An imprisoned feral savage cannot offend. Bloviating is not effective. A woke librarian as a chief of police is not effective.

Good heartfelt message. I’d like him and others to address parents of teens and young adults. The lack of parenting skills is abysmal. Everywhere, not just Jackson.
Thank you, Mayor.

Another Harvey Johnson a do nothing mayor

Someone must have put a quarter in him to speak.

Horhn needs to consult with Chowke because under Chowke's watch there were no gangs and just a perception of crime. Right?

Governor needs to take over the Criminal Courts in Hinds County and put the Madison County DA in charge to swiftly move the cases through the system. For inmates found guilty of violence give them real time so we won’t see them again until they reach nursing home age.

It appears the Dr. Chief wrote that "kumbaya" speech for him. He needs to bluntly address the responsibility of the judges that keep letting the animals back on the streets. Rabid animals must be put down.

Sorry, but Horhn is a joke.

His champions refused to believe our warnings during the election.

Now when he's under pressure ...
he has no choice but to produce a quick BS video babbling about the usual left-wing tropes

To get released on parole, the inmate needs to have an address to move to. As a result, I suspect a lot of children are growing up with a convicted felon in the home who is not their parent.

How about a parolee cannot be released into a home with minor children living there, unless the parolee is a parent/step-parent?

Where are the Capitol police I thought that was supposed to fix everything? Maybe the state can send in the national guard and maybe make them stay permanently.

Capitol police solved the triple homicide for JPD, CPD warrants division arrested the suspects for JPD. But you didn’t hear Dr. chief mention that at the press conference did you.

Horhn to hold press conf. tomorrow.

8:56 The Capitol Police don’t have these awful issues in their district, thankfully. Mostly because the thugs know not to mess with them.

I know it’s just talk, but my goodness how refreshing is it to hear a mature adult actually address the situation. The last guy wouldn’t have given a single shit. Horhn and I probably wouldn’t agree on much politically, but I want to acknowledge that he is a good man and a man he is.

8:05 Ok genius who was the alternative that actually had a chance to win? Horhn was supported so heavily because it was a last ditch effort, of a dying city, to rid itself of Cancer.

Y’know. It’s strange how things can change in just a short time. 3-4 years ago the homicides were double what they are now. And here we are getting upset about them now. To me that’s progress. There should never be more than 50 homicides in a city of Jackson’s size. Wonder if the mayor ever checks this page. Mayor, the ATF, DEA, FBI, and President Trump’s admin are just waiting for your phone call. They won’t play around.

The matter simply won’t get better until he calls in the feds. As soon as he makes the call, the whole city can get better. One call, that’s all.

Progress? We are up 19% from 2025, although 2025 was a down year @ 75...so far we are at 44 per wlbt. https://www.wlbt.com/news/crime/jackson-homicides/

Blah. Blah. Blah. Words are cheap, Mr. Mayor.

That's exactly what I suspected. Dr. Chieftess took credit and her people swallowed her lies hook, line, sinker.

Yo Mayor, thanks for checking in.

Yep, thanks to the feds, Memphis is a great example of true progress

Horhn needs to realize his biggest mistake has been not putting Bo Luckey in charge of both departments.

More speechifying. What’s needed is culture changifying. Physicians, heal thyselves.

Violence increases when the economy (inflation) makes the poor poorer. Violence most often takes place in poorer areas of a town or city and in the late hours of the night.

7:12... did you ignore everything I said? Last year was less than HALF of what it was in 2021-2022. Reading comprehension is a valuable skill.

8:53...What progress...we are up 19% from 2025...reading comprehension is a valuable skill...if you can comprehend the increase in %....that is not progress!

A video by the mayor should pretty much take care of the problem. That was easy! Move on to the next one.

10:40 PM is correct “they (Trump’s admin) won’t play around.” But don’t be fooled.

Low violent crime rates = people that don’t Democrat moving back into Jackson. The last thing Democrats want is low crime rates. Catch & Release will continue because crime is what keeps Democrats in control of cities like Jackson.

In exchange for votes in state and national elections, White Democrats go along with this evil Democrat pro-crime tactic, even knowing full well that innocent children will die. But of course they, the White Democrats, will live safely behind gates, or stink up the Republican controlled burbs by living there. Got to make sure their privileged white babies don’t deal with their Democrat pro-crime tactics.

He is trying to negotiate and beg with the violent youth in this video? Dude its time for you to take up arms and go into these neighborhoods, call the governor and national guard. RIP to the future victims of the C.O.J. its going to be a hot summer

Mucho dissension in JPD ranks. Brackney is a zero.

9:41am, this is true, but us conservatives need to stop ceding the cities to these animals. We need to actually conserve and restore our cities, especially our dad gum State Capital. Move in and gate off your yard and driveway. Call Capitol PD if you see anything at all. Vote like hell. We can fix it.

"Violence increases when the economy (inflation) makes the poor poorer."

I think someone has confused causation with correlation.

Just to give everyone context for how Jackson compares nationally, here are the murder numbers for 2024 for the 10 cities closest in size to Jackson (5 larger and 5 smaller) for which numbers are reported. See if you can spot the outlier.

Syracuse NY: 23
Lakewood NJ: 2
Meridian ID: 0
Miramar FL: 7
Round Rock TX: 3
Jackson MS: 111
Stamford CT: 1
Lewisville TX: 4
Coral Gables FL: 1
New Haven CT: 14
Fullerton CA: 1

This was an easy case to solve. Baby daddy was the key. It's rarely random. Usually drugs involved. Now address the low morale within the police department. It's only a matter of time before the fissure becomes a full blown earthquake. We also waiting on the next speech about the corruption in local municipal and county government. Jackson won't be rising anytime soon. Truth is truth.

2 words - National Guard.

Word on the street is that baby daddy won big in a dice game so the killers showed up to rob him. He ran and they killed whoever was in the house.

I'm sure all the Glock-switched thugs in Jackson watched and took his message to heart. They're such sensible people.

The Mayor can't afford a tie? He looks unprofessional and like a slob. Wonder what his shoes look like,

The mayor rarely isn’t wearing a tie. He dresses much more maturely than the last guy.

And this year we're on track for 87-88 homicides

44 ÷ 183 = 0.2404
0.2404 x 365 = 87.7

Now this is a rumor I want to hear about.

For a closer apple-to-apple see if you can find some with same population density and demographic make up. I doubt it'll change your point.

To 8:49:
“ Violence increases when the economy (inflation) makes the poor poorer. Violence most often takes place in poorer areas of a town or city and in the late hours of the night.”

Why is that? Poor people even poorer in the late hours of the night?

I really don't know what anyone actually expected with Horhn. He has no executive or high level administrative experience. He should have some connections in the legislature that should help but not if keeps playing the race card on every issue. Jackson will suffer because of his lack of experience, but at least he is trying on some issues, which is better than the all-time zero Chokwe.

July 2, 9:49 correct! Keep playing with this fools we need Shock and Awe! Hit them hard with roadblocks. You know where the problem areas are and the times and places these roaches go to.

All talk and no action makes for lacking leadership. Anyone can talk a big game but it’s something else to deliver results.
