Jackson Jambalaya

Yawn................

I'll check back later.

I bet he blamed it on Gun Show! I know Chickway luebomba did.

next

A day or so ago Mayor Bloviator blamed all of this on "those gun shows."

That is so 2010.

He is getting his rhetoric from Bloomberg and his anti-gun crowd. No original thoughts come out of his empty head.

There are background checks at gun shows.

Guns don't shoot by themselves.

A better statement would be something like "it's because of people leaving firearms unsecured in their vehicles." Even then, guns still don't shoot by themselves and the theft of a firearm is automatically a felony.

How about unsupervised yutes?

Not one question from reporters about how many guns seized so far came from gun show sales - in any case, the results touted today from crime control measures are meager at best.

golly gee. if there was some sort of accountability for judges who can’t help handing out blessings...the police aren’t there to prevent crime only arrest those who do.

Those morons don't realize that their "rocket launcher" is an empty fiberglass AT4 tube that is perfectly legal for anyone to own and is not even legally considered a firearm or destructive device. It's an empty fiberglass tube you can buy for a couple of hundred bucks for display. They either are completely ignorant or just have it there on the table to scare ignorant reporters.

I can't believe Fox 40 interrupted Hot Bench for such useless waste of the public airwaves. The next time I want to know nothing, I'll tune into a city press conference.

Simple. It's time for a crime summit. We need to get city and county leadership and a cross section of about 175 youth from the Metro together (fish fry with ribs for 400) and sit down and talk about this thing. Break out into group sessions of 12 for four hours, reconvene and do some white-board and flip chart stuff.

What's so difficult? We're all in this together and, believe it or not, we're all looking for the same result. Right?

" Simple. It's time for a crime summit "

Hell lets go beyond that.

A "Town Hall" to facilitate "dialogue" has been proven to be more effective.

Hell, that would be another opportunity for the "community" leaders to hand out worthless custom engraved award plaques to each other.

Yeah, (I'm being factitious)

I would love to ask one question at this "press conference". What percentage of the perps of these violent crimes should have already been in jail from prior charges but were released by your kangaroo courts ? May even see a pattern here if you look close enough....DUH .

Here's my question: Is the city investigating possible gang affiliations when it investigates homicides?

Follow-up questions: If not, then why not? If so, then what percentage of homicides are believed to be gang-related? And what, if anything, is the city doing to address gangs and gang-culture?

Law abiding citizen here.....I've purchased several rifles and pistols at the gun shows and not once was a background check run. The reason I was told there wasnt one was that the firearms purchased were used. No telling how many times they've changed hands. Doesn't really matter to me though since the feds dont know I have them.

Turn it over to the mayor of Pelahatchie. She will solve this crime problem quick!

@8:24.. a FFL Dealer runs a background check on weapons, new or used. I, as an individual, selling firearms that are individually owned, not selling as a business, CANNOT run a background check. No means of doing so. I Jack the price up to unbuyable stupid price range when asked the price of a weapon by a person I don’t trust. Weapons used for crimes in Jackson AREN’T coming from the gun shows. Lamumbalot, and Stokes, likes to blame the shows along with the pandemic for the killing stats. You can’t prove them wrong without research that is impracticable for an individual to achieve.

"I've purchased several rifles and pistols at the gun shows and not once was a background check run. The reason I was told there wasnt one was that the firearms purchased were used."

If your post is true, it had nothing to do with the fact that you purchased at a gun show or that the firearm was used. Most who set up booths are licensed firearms dealers and are required to run background checks per federal law. A few are private dealers and are not required to run background checks if it's a private sale or out of the trunk of a vehicle in the parking, but that's rare, although perfectly legal.

As a private individual, I can sell you any gun I own and you can sell me yours...no paperwork required...just as I could sell you my lawnmower or pogo stick.

@8:24 That only applies if you bought them from an individual and not a licensed dealer. Otherwise the dealer broke the law. Buying from an individual is not really exclusive to gun shows since you can privately sell a gun in your home, at deer camp, in the Walmart parking lot, and anywhere else.legal to have a firearm.

Gun shows are a political boogeyman but in reality dealers at gun shows run the exact same background check and use the same paperwork they would in their brick and mortar location. Private sellers at gun shows can also sell their guns privately anywhere else. The fact that a transaction happens at a gun show changes nothing legally for any buyer or seller.

As long as they keep pointing fingers, crime will keep rising

For "law abiding citizen"....You bought a gun form an INDIVUDAL not a FFL licensed seller. Gun shows have both types of dealers about 90% are FFl licensed.

8:24, bet you get those illegal drugs you’re taking from the gun shows also; and without a prescription, right?

Jackson and their leaders are a joke. They are uneducated and unskilled. That simply do not possess the needed training or ethics to make tough designs. Simply put, they are in way over their head.

Of course you can acquire guns. It’s a constitutional right. What the dummies in Jackson don’t understand is that it’s the entire breakdown of the family and acceptance of bad behavior that eventually leads to gun violence. It’s not gun shows. It’s not the Wuhan virus. It’s masses of uneducated broken homes combined with drugs and alcohol.

Guns are in the possession of all sorts of citizen across this state. Every color and every social-economic background. But for some reason that nobody wants to confront, it’s really concentrated on Jackson.

JPD should be ashamed. They have lost any ability to be a moral compass.

How about fixing the f***ing water and sewer system, Antar?

'Law abiding citizen' purposefully casts a negative shadow by conveniently leaving out a number of details. Yup, we believe you.

1:35 AM, don’t take the bait. The definition of several is at least 3; so, 8:24 is claiming to have purchased at least 3 guns (or 3 rifles and 3 pistols, so 6? Maybe 8:24 will clarify) from “gun shows and not once was a background check run.”

So, 8:24 just happened to purchase at least 3 to 6 guns from individuals i.e. all go those FFL’s that have probably 99%+ of the guns for sale at the show…just happened to not have what 8:24 was looking for, but those individual stragglers did.

Odds are, this didn’t happen. Got to learn how to spot a high odds disingenuous post 1:35.

The gun show line is a leftist tactic for the poor, uneducated fools too lacking in common sense to know better; and the so-called educated, propagandized by type B white collar professors with tenure and fat cat retirements at the expense of student loans and tax payers.

The gun shows aren’t responsible for the violence in leftist run cities any more so that the gun shows would be responsible for the illegal drug problem.

Gun shows are just another excuse for the extreme failures of leftists run cities.

"Lamumbalot, and Stokes, likes to blame the shows along with the pandemic for the killing stats. You can’t prove them wrong without research that is impracticable for an individual to achieve."

Actually, that research has already been done. You can look it up. Turns out that almost zero criminals get their guns at gun shows. The National Institute of Justice, the research arm of the U.S. Department of Justice, has studied this for decades and found that about 2% of criminals' guns come from gun shows (that includes guns illegally possessed, but never otherwise illegally used by the criminals).

But apparently 100% of gun haters are idiots. That doesn't take any research.

What Antar, the younger, and his minions is really attempting to do, as concealed as their plan may be, is this: If they can shift the perception of blame to the white community, or white men in general (and 99% of the booths at a gun show are run by white men), then they can get the low-information crowd to deny the fact that the real problem is the almost total breakdown of the family unit and morals in the black community.

How complicated is that? For decades these people blamed problems in their community on job discrimination, lack of opportunity, poorly funded schools and racism. It's real tough to do any of that now, since economic opportunity, runaway spending at JPS, equal opportunity at the employment door and every other door imaginable is wide open.

They scramble daily for a believable way to blame their problem on white folk.

Mr. Mayor:
How's that holistic approach working out for you? And us?

Free the land-

The “rocket launcher” has been in police evidence for 20 years.

Before long they will be able to blame violence on the heat and humidity.

Is Antard the dog or the pony?

Other JPD officers weigh in...

@10:01am

Moreover, why did JPD display the “rocket launcher” during the presser?

"Moreover, why did JPD display the “rocket launcher” during the presser?"

You're just too easy. Antar hates the police and is disgusted by the military. He knew, subliminally, many would associate that hardware with the military, as with the Thompson Tank...and that would ratchet up his support group who dislike both the PoPo and the military.

Were there some racist Civil War muskets on display? You know, put in evidence in 1865.
