Jackson has been failing for 30+ years and the crime rates in Madison and Rankin counties have not sharply risen as a result. Argumentative fallacies and excuses are all that remain for Jackson and Hinds County. You've lost population. Your middle class residential tax base, both white and black, continues to flee for safety and schools. The business tax base follows those rooftops with precision. Your representation and influence in the Legislature continues to wane. So keep deluding yourself with the myth, and warped hope, that all the shit going on in your denial state is soon headed to the suburbs. It isn't the responsibility of surrounding communities to fix, and pay to fix, the mess you refuse to acknowledge you've made.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-39082619634256463962015-02-08T22:39:29.174-06:002015-02-08T22:39:29.174-06:00I live in Fondren.

I'm a tranplanted Delta boy with a young family who has a blue collar job. <br /><br />The reasons I live in Fondren are many. I like the fact that not everyone has the same house. I like the fact that I don't have to ask someone what kind of tree I can plant in my yard. I like that I have neighbors who don't think exactly like I do. It challenges me and I hope I challenge them.<br /><br />I sent an email to Kingfish as soon as I heard this happened from one of my neighbors. I'm not sure if I was the first to tell him, but he would have known about it and researched it without Nextdoor.<br /><br />For those of you who may chastise me for telling Kingfish about something bad in my community, I say to you I am a proud, tax-paying property owner in Fondren. If you want all the "bad" things hidden about your community, please move to Madison or Rankin and hide behind the sameness.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-77098931369136015982015-02-08T22:20:46.981-06:002015-02-08T22:20:46.981-06:00The problem is predation.

The same bullshit busy bodies in my neighborhood who for years have tried to hush-hush any real open discussion about crimes being perpetrated on us as if the facts about actual events are confidential neighborhood secrets are all over on Nextdoor trying to silence people there too. I'm sure many of them are only on Nextdoor because their control freak selves can't deal with the fact that they've lost control over the narrative. Well freaks, and you know who you are, SCREW YOU.<br /><br />There is one thing good feature about Nextdoor. It is a mute feature and I have Donna Ladd on MUTE.

They derive their life-philosophies while working on their addictions. <br /><br />The quality of my Labor Pool improved, noticeably, once we moved across the County Line. Aside from the elderly and some med students, I don't think there are many white Jacksonians left, who do not have life-defining substance issues. <br /><br />Every time I drive in Jackson, I'm left with the impression that it's becoming like New Orleans: a place for the dysfunctional (and delusional).<br /><br />By the way: is there such a thing as METH RAGE ROAD RAGE? I seem to have encountered that, several times (white drivers, in each case) on forays into Jackson.
