Jackson Jambalaya

Can JPD provide a more generic address? Was it at a house, east or west of State Street? Don’t think a car wash is located in the immediate vicinity. Sheesh.

I don't use a car wash. I myself use a hose with a bucket and sponge outside my house, but who cares, he got dusted and I'm sure it wasn't for washing his car. Just more citizen on citizen crime.

Don't these future rocket surgeons know that it is a crime to commit murder?

It didn’t say he was at a “car wash”. Just said he was washing his car.
Probably in the front of his house.

And, quite possibly drug or gang related.

Let this be a reminder as to why you should be Always Armed and maintain situational awareness at all times.

We have these insticts for a reason. Ignore the sheeple who will ask mocking rhetorical questions like "what are you so afraid of" and insult you as paranoid.

I'm not some racist that thinks this is just a black issue or that all black people are a threat. Just remember the roaring 20s in the last century. It's simply history repeating.

You alone are responsible for defending yourself and your loved ones. As the economy worsens, so will the violence.

Typical Jackson.

But no, crimes not an issue and the community activists have everything under control.

"I don't use a car wash. I myself use a hose with a bucket and sponge outside my house,..."

Because nobody ever gets popped in their own front yard?


And fyi 1:07, being armed absolutely does not stop bullets from a drive-by.

What's this now, 62?

Top Years for Jackson Murder:

2020 = 111 (Projection based on current murder rate.)

1995 = 92
1994 = 91
2018 = 84*
1993 = 84
2019 = 83*
1991 = 76
2008 = 73
1996 = 67

* Antard Lumumba Yearly Average = 83.5

Pictures showed the location to be between the old Fire Station 7 and the office building along the railroad. Not normally a place to wash a car...

Definitely gang related. This is the area I used to buy me weed when I was ten foot tall and bullet proof, 20 years ago. There was one gang that ran the show in this area at the time. From what I understand over the last several years that gang has splintered into other groups, as well as outside gangs trying to claim the turf. It’s a dangerous spot to be at the current time.

5 of the top 8 murder years in Jackson were when Kane Ditto was Mayor. Ditto was the last White Mayor of Jackson. Ditto was dithering while the murders stacked up.

Absolutely 1:07. Continue your parade that one must ALWAYS BE ARMED. That way, while you have a hose in one hand, a sponge in the other, working in your yard washing your car, you can keep a third eye on every car that drives by and when you see the glock pointed out the window, drop the hose and pull your carry out and respond appropriately.

Silly me. Why should I mock someone so smart when only trying to give good advice about how to protect yourself at all times.

Thanks for the advice. I'll remember it as I am finishing the concrete pad in my back yard next week.

@1:07.

Better advice might be to:

1) Don't get involved in gangs;
2) Don't get involved in the drug trade;
3) Don't even use drugs, but if you do, don't stiff your dealer;
4) stay out of areas in Jackson where others don't follow the recommendations in 1, 2, and 3 above

" Let this be a reminder as to why you should be Always armed and maintain situational awareness at all times. "

Very true.

Let this also be a reminder as to why it's never a good idea to venture down any street in Jackson, Mississippi.

I can say that.

I'm a native of Jackson.

Jackson had turned majority black so Ditto kept hiring chiefs who had only one qualification. You can figure out what it was. These were the days of Louis Armstrong, Kenneth Stokes, and Credell running the City Council. Walker was a complete joke. Hell,if I remember correctly, his car got repo'ed while chief. He made CBS news for promising there would be no police brutality "on my beat". While he worried about that, crime set new records in Jackson. Hollywood became Chief and was not cut out for the job. Murders were sky high until he finally lucked up and hired Robert Johnson. I think there was another chief but I don't remember so correct me if I'm wrong. Johnson whipped the department into shape and crime got under control while he was Chief.

Little story about Ditto. Chief Greenberg from Charleston came to town. Ditto wouldn't meet with him to talk about crime.

Y'all dont kid yourselves. You don't have to be in Jackson to become a victim. You can get pistol whipped or shot in Rankin County just as easily.

When seconds count, the police are minutes away.

65 according to WLBT. We're on track to surpass even the 90s. Good grief. https://www.wlbt.com/news/crime/jackson-homicides/

Dale Danks was the last real Mayor of Jackson . . .
Black or White.

5:22- “ You can get pistol whipped or shot in Rankin County just as easily.”

Nah. Thanks for playing, but this is not true. Not even close.

Jackson is dangerous place. Unsafe for people of all races. It may be worse than Gary, Indiana. It’s total garbage.

#1 stated in his/her narrative, "Was it at a house, east or west of State Street? Don’t think a {car wash} is located in the immediate vicinity".

Thank you for the non-ranting about Covid even with the Harvard Declaration being put out there. Maybe tomorrow.

The only way to slow the crime wave down is for the Hinds County criminals to cross the county lines and commit criminal acts! We won’t be seeing them for a long time!!!

Kane Ditto inherited a bad situation because in the prior administration a civil rights lawsuit involving the police academy had stopped the training of new policemen for some years so in the late ‘80’s, early 90’s the police department was understaffed through no fault of Kane’s, Those were the years Eastover, Belhaven and then other neighborhood patrols started to make up for the lack of regular police patrols.

Bottom Line: Do not be grillin' or washin' your ride in the front yard.

Good grief are you afraid of your own shadow!?

This wasn't some random crime, when it's all said and done it will come out the victim was connected to the assailants.

If you don't have any worries traveling to Memphis or New Orleans, where random crimes are more prevalent, then you DEFINITELY don't have anything to worry about in Jackson.

@4:08am:

I think most people are relatively comfortable in New Orleans of Memphis. With both cities, there are some dangerous and well as mostly safe areas.

As for Jackson, every street and neighborhood is an opportunity to be a crime victim. No place in Jackson is safe and if you are white, the citizens, as well as the mayor and city council simply don’t want you there.

New Africa. Their words, not mine.

Hospital tallies up a COVID payday, I'll bet.

Average annual murders during Kane Ditto's 7 full years in office was 73.28 murders.
