Jackson Jambalaya

That Lumumba campaign sign with his arms crossed speaks volumes.

We are going to hit 100 before the 4th of July BBQ season.

Look on the bright side. All 47 homicides died of COVID-19. Now, they get will $7000.00 each for a nice burial & headstone.

Lumumba's Jackson. Been through there many times when I lived there. Moved last May.

Is it possible to go anywhere in Jackson without being shot? I now feel fortunate that I got a COVID vaccination at the Smith-Wills Stadium drive-through site without being murdered.

Great opening commercial for Mayor Lumumba - with his 4x8 (illegal, but who worries about city ordinances) campaign sign in the forefront. Nothing like getting free campaign air time showing the success of your four years in office.

That’s just down the street from M Bar and where retail soon used to be on County Line Road. And in broad daylight!

Mayor-for-life C. Lumumba...

According the the WLBT crime tracker, a man named Broderick Dyson was killed in almost the same spot on Jan. 25, 2021.

A pillar of the community I'm sure.

Keep voting Democrat.

Does anyone remember the last time we has a homicide in Flowood?

39211 is ruined forever. She will never recover.

The good news is that on any one day most people in Jackson don't get murdered, or even shot at.

Ridgewood and Adkins seems to ring a bell. All that area is missing is a high-dollar rim emporium.

The roaches, my friends, have long since overtaken the kitchen.

When increasing real estate economics, the greatest cull agent ever invented, left 39211, and homes all over began selling for less that $100/foot, people that heretofore could not afford to live there, began moving in like wild. That, coupled with hordes of homeowners left 39211 and began renting their homes. Everyone with anything larger that a brain stem knows the results of these 2 givens. If I say it, this comment will get zapped. IT.IS.OVER. Thank you.

Hope this will motivate my dentist (his office is on that corner) to move his practice to Madison or Ridgeland. We're definitely going to have that conversation. Going to the dentist is bad enough without having to put your life on the line to get there. LOL

And to think I (and my neighborhood friends) used to ride bikes at that intersection.
Great memories !

But that was a long time ago in a galaxy far far away.

While guys would naturally get pissed-off at each other and fight,
nobody died.

There was always a bloody nose or two every week. (But once again ... we didn't kill each other).

Back then, a good ass whipping worked wonders on the local bully, and no kid died on the spot or ended up in a
Hospital Emergency Room.

Oh well ... times change.

Absolutely right on 5:21, and is sickening to watch it all unfold, like a cancer that has grown wings. Think 10 years from today, if you think it is bad now.

KF, is there any indication as to what kind of homicide this was? Random drive by? Road rage? Targeted?

@2:03PM

Sometimes I wonder the same thing, the same thing.
Based on my experiences, crime has always occurred on the outskirts of Jackson.
That said, I can’t recall too many murders past Ridgewood and County Line roads.

@2:03, you did, it just takes between 3 weeks-18 months

Imagine Adkins and Ridgewood Road in 10 years. It will have burned out houses and looted, shuttered businesses. Just drive down Ellis avenue and you’ll see the future of what’s coming. The days of Northeast Jackson’s glory are but a dream.
