Jackson Jambalaya

Most Fondren and Belhaven residents agree with her radical ideology, so her apathy towards crime will be accepted and applauded. Her support of throwing more money down the drain of the Zoo solidified it for me that she has no clue about governing a City and is like all the others outside of Priester in that regard.

Kingfish,
You know that surveillance camera footage has been declared racist. Crime statistics are also racist. So why woud a white woman want to expose herself to accusation of racism by discussing a racist topic?

She knows the meeting is recorded. She doesn't want the Cindy Hyde-Smith treatment from the tolerant left.

Very disappointing. Seems Virgi wants peace so badly she is mute so as not to make anyone uncomfortable.

These people don't understand how shell case analysis works at all. If you recover a 9mm shell casing you may be able to narrow it down to say a Glock, but unless you arrest someone with a Glock that you can later match the fired case to it doesn't help. Shell case analysis is meaningless unless you also recover the weapon since the shell case alone has no information attached to it other than the general model of firearm and some toolmarks from the breechface and firing pin that can only be matched to a gun if you also have the firearm. "That shell casing belongs to Bob" is only valid if you have the casing and also arrest Bob with the gun in his possession and fired cases in the crime lab match the tool marks on the cases from the scene.

@11:05, not sure what you are talking about with the surveillance footage statement, sounds like you probably got duped by some Fox News rant. If she is afraid of being labeled a CHS, she could try avoiding topics such as hangings and lynchings. It’s really not that difficult.

If you've noticed, over the last year or so she has become the Mayor's best vote on the City Council. Never bucks him on anything.

White guilt. Belahven and Fondren breeds it.

11:32. Please see 11:11. Agree.

Didn't the county throw money at the zoo also? Should have thrown it at more prosecutors or given it to CPD.

Nope, she never does, and she rarely helps any of her constituents with problems. She should be advocating for Belhaven and Fondren to be the bright star of the city to attract new residents. It's only common sense to know that the City cannot improve until it brings in new businesses and new residents. No idea why that isn't a focus. Can George Flaggs move to Jackson and save the Capital from these morons? He gets it.

She’s just taking the Clarence Thomas approach. He says he learns more when he just listens and if he waits long enough someone else will probably ask the question he was thinking to ask anyway.

11:56: George Flaggs is willing to talk to and work with white people. Not a good look in Jackson.

@11:05. Cindy should catch hell from not just the left, but everyone she represents. Any public official that refuses to do their job (ie represent and talk to their people) ought not to be a public official. Seems she has time to chat with friendly supporters and media, and go to shooting ranges, but she doesn’t have time to reach out to the other people she’s asking to represent. I understand ducking a debate if you know you’re going to get whipped, but damn do something to show people you actually want the job. Even Cochran in his later days, still had enough sense and hustle to know he had to work for it.

You people just don't get it. You are under the false impression that the elected officials in that room can do something to curb the crime in Jackson. They cannot. Sure, they could hire more police, pay them more, accept the help of the Feds, but this will help only in solving crimes once they are committed; it will not prevent them from occurring. The crimes are a result of a culture in chaos, a culture that has lost its morals, ethics, and character. It took 50 years to get to this point. It will take that long or longer to restore civility.

12:12 Mike Espy isn't reaching out to White Republicans with his latest campaign advertisement. Give me a break on that. She doesn't have to debate because she is going to walk away with a win. She's basically a Tyson(get it).

I believe Ms. Lindsey fails to realize that the Free the Land agenda of the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement is in fundamental conflict with our system of government, so there can be no peace between the two.

The stated goal of Mayor Lumumba and his intelligentsia is to create a self-policing autonomous zone for black people to live in an egalitarian Afrikan utopia, the likes of which have never existed in history beyond the Garden of Eden, and which is doomed to failure.

Solving the crime problems would require some racial realism and that is never going to happen. So there will never be an end. The government is unwilling to face facts. So platitudes of so called "racial reconciliation" will be spoken and government money will be spent. But not a single damn thing will change.

The truth shall set you free. But it will also hurt some folks feelings and that is unacceptable.

Btw, Kibgfish are you just going to ignore the story about the three Bravo Mike's burglarizing the church on Watkins Drive?

Mayor Moron can bloviate on mental health all he wants. But as someone married to a community mental health therapist it takes two to tango in the mental health sphere. It takes someone seeing a therapist to accept that there are things they have to do to achieve sometimes even a normal life. I can't count how many times I've heard "patient refuses to take responsibility", "patient hasn't worked on x skill we've discussed and practiced", "patient denies having done anything wrong" etc. etc. And this isn't even in Hinds county. So excuse me if I think the Mayor is a highly educated moron. I have one of those in my family. Holds a doctorate but you'd have to draw him a map to get home.

Are you telling us that BabyChok is married to a community mental health therapist? Or are you telling us about YOURSELF, and your spouse? If it's the latter, then you would have made statement more clear, by phrasing it as:

"...as someone married to a community mental health therapist, I've discovered that it takes two to tango..."

Wow, that’s like Lynn Fitch level silence.

2:49 PM
Sorry. I thought I worded it clear enough, but the latter.

" 12:12 Mike Espy isn't reaching out to White Republicans with his latest campaign advertisement. "

Au contraire 1:31 PM.

Espy is grasping at straws.

His latest ad starts off with a stereotypical Mississippi Redneck that says in twangy accent:

"I'm a Republican, but I'm voting for Espy".

Give me a break !

Yep.

Belhaven and The Fondren deserve anything they elect.

I've talked to some very weird looking characters on Dulling Street that actually care about their Fondren neighborhood.

They seem to be more pissed off about current events than Virgi.

There all some seriously weird folks that hang out in "The Fondren" . . .
that care about that area more than Virgi Lindsey.

Virgie is the second most capable person at that table that explains everything

Yes George Flaggs is showing how to do it in Vicksburg. Racism cuts both ways and when you will not work with white leaders you are just hurting Jackson. Baby Chok should take help from anybody to get crime in line. I dont care if its the boy scouts. If People could feel safe In Jackson they will shop there. Then you work on utility services and potholes. Then you have something you can sell to people.

Wait until Belhaven rams Blount's CID down everyone's throats.

EXACTLY like the looting of the special sales tax, before too long Antard will show up at Belhaven's door to share that there is no money to fix that latest Belhaven sewer line collapse, or the like, and dupe the CID Board into kicking in CID money to fix the problem.

Name the last Jackson mayor who was 'willing to work with white people' or who had a goal of employing three or more white employees down to City Hall. You might have to go all the way back to Dale Danks.

It's the PERCEPTION of crime, so her silence is on the PERCEPTION of silence....

12:28 nailed it. The entire crime problem in Jackson is a parenting problem. Children have to be disciplined. PERIOD

"The entire crime problem in Jackson is a parenting problem. Children have to be disciplined. PERIOD"

The city should buy/build 10-12 LARGE billboards all around town and leave that message up permanently. That'd be the best $$ the city would ever spend!!

" You might have to go all the way back to Dale Danks. "

Understatement.

Danks did his best to work with Black "leadership" during his terms as Mayor.

Many Black politicians and "reverends" paid lip service, but still stabbed Danks in the back at the end.

Danks had pissed many of them off over the years, so they found this Kane Ditto guy.

Ditto was never smart as Danks, and ultimately met a quicker political death within the City limits of Jackson.

Former Jackson resident here, moved to Madison in 2003. My business, no retail storefront, is still in Jackson. From what I see on the local news it looks like George Flaggs in Vicksburg has got it together. As someone else pointed out, would Mr. Flaggs consider moving to Jackson and running for Mayor?

Asking for a friend.
