Jackson Jambalaya

Thank you sheriff if hinds county ! Why is this not handled by Jackson. Police Dept.?

That's some spooky stuff you posted Kingfish. They have glow in the dark eyes!

Distinctive hair and clothing, and most are not wearing masks. This shouldn't take long at all, assuming that all the folks who can ID them, will.

Really terrible for the victim and his family... justice needs to be served!

Doesn’t the Sheriff have a consent decree to manage, or are all the problems at county lock ups meeting compliance goals?

Seriously, if the Sheriff is PAID $20,000 per month for security (according to the Mayor), isn’t this an admission that the place cannot conceivably operate safely? Or should that amount be $30,000/month? Meanwhile, i can think of a few neighborhoods that would like deputies - but can’t afford the monthly fee.

Hold on. The Mayor said the bar paid $20,000 per month for security. That includes inside and outside. Hinds only handles the outside. So figure there is a split of the $20K.

That video looks like some kind of rap group (back stage) at an awards show.

BTW, why does JPD refuse to be involved with this thug den ?
And why does HCSO take over every murder "investigation" at that fine establishment ?

Mr. Mayor needs to spend some of the Siemen's money to hire a fact checker. First he says the state pays nothing toward water cost (on national TV) and now he indicates that the Murder Club pays $240k per year for an off duty sheriff officer? That can't possibly be correct. When the family of the deceased sues the s^#t out of them it'll be interesting to see them produce payments of $240k. HA!

$20k / month is another lie from hizzonor

$20k / month would be 3 security personnel on site 24 hrs per day, 7 days per week

Why the hell is the M-Bar letting folks walk in the back door? If that isn't SOP then how is it not a liability issue?

Recognizing the split. Total security cost of $240k? Feel sorry for the deceased and next of kin. Likely just out to have some fun in Jax and gets caught in the middle of a tuff struggle. Looking at nervous twitching of those entering the back door someone should have known something was about to go down. Murder Club owner(s) you about to go down. Strike three you out.

It never ceases to amaze me that in this day with a high def camera in everyone's pocket that surveillance video is notoriously bad. That B&W footage makes them all look like demons with shiny eyes. Banks are just about as bad. Every time there's a bank robbery the footage looks like it was shot on a 1988 era Betamax.

I've seen Ring doorbell cameras with better quality. If this place caters to the bang bang shoot 'em up crowd, you'd think the owners would invest a couple hundred bucks in a decent camera system. Sheesh!

Is this, “establishment,” located where the former Mexican restaurant - cannot recall the name (Cinco de Mayo, maybe?) - once was?

Red Chevy Tahoe? Who knew? Hard to even tell that's a vehicle.

HCSO must be in on this. No way can a gang enter the back door without giving the cops a little beer money..

Someone in law enforcement in on the take. Private money being paid to police sounds like kickback.

That film reminds me of a football team getting ready to hit the field. Everyone seems nervous and antsy, preparing to do what they have trained to do.

11:57 PM
If you're thinking of the one that sits in front of Old Navy and Bed Bath & Beyond no that's Kickin' Crab. It's the one that's between Zaxby's and Chuck E. Cheese.

@11:57

This place was a Garfield's Pub for about 5 days. They built it and occupied it for a moment before fleeing Jackson. I can't remember if there was any occupant in there between Garfield's and the Murder-Bar.

So - going forward, they will have to search every vehicle for weapons?

I wish I was a fabulous as these important people in Jackson! Wow!

Bed, Bath & Beyond has announced that they are closing that store because of the shooting. Bums me out because now I have to drive to Dogwood shopping area to visit the BB&B store on Lakeland. We just cannot have nice things any more in Jackson.

Garfield's Pub! Thank you 9:54 I was drawing a blank on what that building was before. I think I ate there once, hated the food and the service and never went back. I think Murder-Bar has been in that building now longer than Garfield's was.

1:09, BB&B posted closure as corp decision but just like Twin Peaks, Fudpuckers and several others along I-55 the turf wars in Jax surely contributed. Corp America has made it's position known about the capital city. Watch out Ridgeland it's coming.

Watch out Ridgeland it's coming.

Contagion theory. Fallacy.

Can someone please find out who was responsible for monitoring the suspect when she had a curfew. That individual or company should be held responsible. The real problem in Jackson lies with the judicial system, and until they are held responsible for letting criminals back on the streets in Jackson, nothing will change! Does anyone hold these judges responsible for their actions?

I thought B,B Beyond was closing all its stores. If not, I hope to hell Mary Hawkins doesn't attempt to recruit the store. We have enough shootings, robberies and shoplifting at beauty supply, makeup stores and such joints as it is...and 90% of their traffic is from Hinds. We have way plenty enough of damned chicken joints and cheap-crap stores up in here. When will Butler-Hawkins ever learn?

"When will Butler-Hawkins ever learn?" When she is either voted out or resigns along with moving away.

Comment was fine but for the last sentence.

7:03 While I agree with your sentiments, legally there's a limit to those who petition to open business there.

Judging by a periodic drive-through, 1:44, it would appear not.
