Attempted Carjacking in Belhaven

 There was an attempted car jacking on Poplar and Hazel last night in Jackson around 9:15 p.m. The boyfriend of female victim thwarted it and chased the bad guys north on Hazel.

Around six gunshots were fired around Hazel and Belhaven Street. It is not known who fired the shots. JPD arrived very fast and started scouring the area, looking for them. I don't know if they caught them.  A gentleman stated on social media:

"Police cars have been searching the area for the perps" I hate to tell JPD how to do their jobs, but I am betting after that went down, they are on the opposite side of State St. I am not expert, but just a hunch. I doubt they are driving around or live in or around Belhaven.

Rest easy neighbors. We got cameras all over Belhaven now. All of our crime problems are solved. Once we vote in the CID we'll be living in the Shangri-La of the South. Happy days are here again!

Belhaven = Carjacking capital of Mississippi!
Jackson Po Po needs to patrol Belhaven in unmarked cars.

Gee, I thought Belhaven and The Fondren were gun free zones. More homes on the market in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...

What about all of those cameras Belhaven residents were hoodwinked into paying for?

The officers staffing Baby Chowke's "real time crime center" are likely playing solitaire or hearts vs. staring at cameras.

Luckily for her, not even a Hinds County Grand Jury would indict a woman for defending herself with deadly force.

If you are going to leave Jackson because of the crime you might as well move out of Mississippi. If you move to Madison or Gluckstadt you are hemmed in between two high crime areas.

I just can't get it in my head why any civilized person with the ability to leave doesn't get out of there. It's literally playing Russian Roulette to stay at tis point.

Time for The Belhaven to hire a few snipers.

317 -- good guess, but it appears that they didn't get out of the neighborhood as quickly as you would think. There are a couple of neighbors who's ring cameras caught one or two of the perps trying to run through their backyards - but didn't understand that many of those yards had fences.

Couple of good shots of them trying to negotiate through the mazes. Appears that, not necessarily on any community cameras, although there may be some we haven't seen, but the Ring network has some pretty damn good shots of them.

Now, what the popo and the court system might do with this helpful info, can't say. But after the shots were fired, might not be coming back as quickly.

Apparently Belhaven is so not-racist the residents can’t even give a full description of carjackers.

Except to a fool, cameras do not offer even the perception of safety. Cameras only offer the opportunity for after-the-fact visual documentation. When it comes to crime in Jackson, cameras don't prevent a f'ing thing.

To 4:48 and others who are hating on Belhaven,

As a Belhaven resident I can walk to Elvie’s, Fenian’s, Lou’s, Corner Market, Keifer’s, Manship, Picantes, Pizza Shack, the gym, Baptist, UMC, Millsaps/Belhaven/JSU football games, Fondren, downtown, etc. We are also planning on getting a brewery in 2022. I have no idea who you are or where you live, but something tells me you don’t get to walk to such areas. Also, mama didn’t raise no b****. At least we don’t have any of the libs y’all have that want to defund the police and crap, but are too scared to live in Jackson. All talk.

The author in the screenshots above is the man.

Even of they get caught Judge Faye or Judge Tommie will just look the other way and suspend their sentence.

If they don't say "white men", you know that they were most likely Oriental or American Indian. Right? ;-)

Shame they weren't better shots.

@4:36pm - The difference for those living in Madison and Gluckstadt is that the perps will be caught and will be put away for a long time since our circuit judges actually do their jobs and don’t hand out blessings. But stay in Hinds with your 4 clown judges.

Belhaven needs to forget Securitas and hire Blackwater instead. Find a couple combat vets who'll hunt these thugs for sport. That'll stop them. The old guys in the toy Securitas cars sure don't get their respect.

Meanwhile, Chockwe is more interested in shaking down the gun show than the people with guns. Has he said much on his summer of violence?

Anonymous said...

@9:19pm - Have fun with all that walking. Let us know when you get mugged/shot and one of your circuit judges hands out a blessing to the perp (assuming JPD catches them).

Anonymous said...

The ability to walk to cool spots is valid.
The chance of being mugged while walking to nice restaurants and events, is also valid.

But no hate from me.
Live in a place that makes you happy.

I know I do, and if Belhaven brings you joy, then I wish you well in life.

@ 9:19

I graduated from Belhaven College some years ago. Back then, if you attempted to walk to "Elvie’s, Fenian’s, Lou’s, Corner Market, Keifer’s, Manship, Picantes, Pizza Shack, the gym, Baptist, UMC, Millsaps/Belhaven/JSU football games, Fondren, downtown, etc"...... You were playing with fire.

In current times it's just flat out not smart. You keep on kidding yourself until someone robs you and beats your ass while you are out for an evening stroll.

Just because it hasn't happened to you YET doesn't mean the danger isn't there.

and I LOVE Belhaven.

Lock and Load said...

@9:19 PM - true, except after dark Belhaven becomes like the city in the movie The Omega Man.

I hear this is the latest fashion in Belhaven and Fondren.

Until the city gets that drug house on the 1100 block of Lyncrest shut down nothing will change. JPD has known about the problem for years now. Some of us are starting to wonder if Lumumba's drug boys have an interest in the operation.

Why do you rednecks pull so hard against Belhaven and downtown in general? If you live amongst your people in Rankin or Madison, do you not realize that you will suffer as well if Jafracistan as you call it isn't doing well? The State is the problem, but ya'll give your redneck handlers who are fleecing it a pass.....

Anonymous said...

Every city has a Belhaven . A nice place full of libbies surrounded by blight.

Anonymous said...

I agree 12:13.

Rednecks do give their handlers a pass and I agree that its wrong.
Just like the woke libtards give their leaders free reign.


Please don't act like your side of IPA drinking, Hipster pant wearing favoritism is somehow elite.
I can at least respect anyone who sees that both parties are worthless.

I have been posting some on Nextdoor (which I normally don't do.) Have noticed that if I post anything about my concerns related to crime in Belhaven/Fondren/NE Jackson, I get assaulted by residents in these neighborhoods. I have a real concern because I work in Jackson. Why is it bad for me to want to know what crimes are being committed in Jackson?

Anonymous said...

4:00pm, what is your point? I have not party affiliation and had to google IPA. Take bourbon, neat, thanks. What side? Your respect is not worth much if you are so condescending on your .....whatever your position is other than disdain.

12:13, Speaking for myself, I’m mostly just sick of being lied to by those who insist that Jackson is not what it really is: consistently one of the worst-run cities in the country, with a failing school system, and one of the highest per-capita homicide rates in the world.

It’s very frustrating to actually want better, when those in a position to make it better (and their enablers) continue to claim there isn’t really a problem, or that the problem isn’t worse than any other place.

In other words, I get angry when someone urinates on my leg and tells me it’s raining, repeatedly.

'I can walk from Belhaven to Fondren and JSU football games'.

Sure you can. And I can remember walking from Shakey's Pizza Parlor to MSU vs Alabama games. But, that was 50 years ago when you could park anywhere on a side street with your doors unlocked. Would you care to comment on what's changed? (Other than the perception of crime?)

You can walk from Belhaven to Fondren and JSU football game AND enjoy the aroma of surface sewage discharges the entire length of your trip!

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.
