Jackson Jambalaya

They can’t control it. Call in help. The National Guard was needed 2 years ago. This weekend is going to be a crap show with the holiday, heat, and liquor.

I'm sure all the thugs are tuned in and will immediately change their ways.

Im sure all the gang bangers are huddled around tge TV listening and will behave this weekend.

How about not accusing everyone that is not black that tries to do something about the problem a racist. That would be a damn good start.

what about capitol police?

"* The city will ask the state and federal governments for financial support for crime prevention."

Of course they will. It should come with caveats like boots on the ground from the federal government, not just an open checkbook like they want.

The frustration is very understandable. The desire for less crime is sincere. But wanting to do something about crime is not enough. Saying you're going to do something about crime is worthless. Tackling crime in Jackson is not about how many police officers you have or where they are patrolling. It's about homes that are producing young people with no moral guidance, no discipline, no guardrails for behavior, and eventually having no regard for human life. The most immediate and effective means would be for the judges to start following the law and sentence offenders accordingly instead of giving them a path back to the streets.

Ahh, federal money to buy new SUVs, office decor, overtime for her driver, funding for her golden parachute... Was she pulling on the mayor's puppet strings or did I imagine that? He seems to be her step-and-fetch.

How do you convert thugs into law abiding citizens? It's way too late for most of them.

time for a cocktail

Jackson area needs roadblocks to collect illegal weapons & weapons from felons. Curfews need to be enforced. Clubs need to be checked for teenagers. Public parks need to be patrolled for gambling, drug sales & other illegal activity, Bottom line JPD & CPD need to do more than drive around in their vehicles & respond to 911 calls.

When she finally gets fired expect a sexual harassment suit to be filed immediately.

I'm going to have to start carrying myy lawfully possessed machine guns into jackson to defend myself. The semi-auto stuff just isn't cutting it anymore.

No RaShall, it isn't a 'spate'.

All true. The chief judges and DA need to be involved in solutions.

Need to bring in Judges that will dispense Justice equitably and according to the crimes. Stop giving these fools chances they are killing folks! Dang are the judges just thinking about themselves in their comfortable neighborhoods and safe havens. Judges cancer spreads, y’all better get off y’all assess and start throwing these fools away! A bullet doesn’t discriminate!!!

Never let a crisis go to waste. Apply for that free, tree-grown "federal money."

Let's be honest. It is the culture.

Typical political presser.

Horhn surrounded by a stoic faced posse ... (that included more token White folks than usual).

The only thing Hizzoner forgot ... was to include the obligatory
sign language translator .

You know ...that person that dramatically flaps their arms and makes weird facial expressions ?

And before anyone get's "triggered", I'm not making light of most translators for the hearing impaired. Only the ones trying to get the most attention.

Need a COmmunity meeting….ASAP!

"I cannot quell anyone's fear of crime." Chief Librarian is lost. Law Enforcement, Prosecutors and Judges must put 'fear of consequences' into Jackson feral savages. SSAFE: Stop, Search And Frisk Effectively. Curfew and surprise roadblocks. Then next time Horhn speaks publicly, he can brag about all the arrests, and stolen cars, stolen guns and dope he got put into evidence.

I would have liked to see this but it was blocked. This happens quite a few times on here.

This guy is a clown. Just like ever other pathetic leader Jackson has had for the last 40 years.

Nothing will happen. Bookmark this story and revisit it in 5 years. Crime will be worse and the criminals will continue to terrorize the community with impunity.

Jackson gets everything it deserves because of the spineless, idiotic people they elect.

Good. Let that shithole continue to rot.

@2:43, I caught that. She's clueless. I was waiting for her to whip out a land acknowledgement. The quick response thing sounds like a total PR swag.

Operator error on your part. Odd how you're disgruntled but still here commenting.

5:30 do you realize that by cheerleading this shit you are writing your own death warrant? Wherever you live. The crime and culture is constantly trying to flee itself and they will be in your area if it continues. Goes for every city in America. “Let that shithole continue to rot” says the “conservative” that doesn’t try to conserve anything but his own paycheck. Shame on you.

You are pathetic. Way to tap out and give up. It’s our State’s Capital and we cannot let it continue to rot. And even if you hate Mississippi, this is still AMERICA and no part of it should rot.

Cocoa with the popo.

The translator got arrested for assault and battery a few years back!

And Mayor Horhn decided to be a clown and spend his time testifying in court to try and prevent the State from taking over the airport. Priorities Mayor, priorities....
