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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
