Jacktown may break 100 this year. Come on thugs; we are depending on you.
Next.
One more life extinguished by a poisonous culture.
Somebody call the NAACP, SPLC, and the ADL, because I can assure you that "N word" was said with hate and contempt while the trigger was being pulled.
succumbed, altercation, alleged.....I'm impressed. Things are looking up since the day of Lt. Graham as spokes-left-tenant.
This violence will be reduced significanly once Stokes' new initiative takes place (arrest people who don't report that their gun was stolen).
Next.
The killings in Jackson could be stopped very easily.
Just pass a law that says every citizen in Jackson has to carry around a tin sign. People demand action when a tin sign is shot up. People getting shot up doesn't seem to bother them.
