Jackson Jambalaya

Walk on’s has been open less than a month and is now off limits to me and my family. These junior thugs ruin everything they come in contact with.

So…just knucleballing here—this may not have been a random,drive-by shooting.

Why is there still a link to North Mississippi Commrnter’s blog on your site? He’s been dead for years and the site no longer exists. Clean up this crap!!!

Why couldn't Lejeremy, Anterrion and Tyrone be satisfied watching Saturday morning cartoons like the rest of us this morning? Why, oh why?

By the way...these officers are to be congratulated for scouring that area and finding the discarded weapons in the weeds.

Has the mayor, Gene McGee, eaten at Walk-ons? My advice, you need a full time team of RPD uniforms within spitting distance of that place. It’s a great restaurant and bar, food is good. But, It’s a caldron for another episode of the gun and knife show. Great place to have a few drinks and argue over the attractive wait staff.

Make Walk Ons pay to station a few cops in the lot and at the door. Metal detectors wouldn’t be a bad idea either. This place has only been open a couple weeks and it’s already a nuisance.

Shut it down!

@3:55am - I believe the word you were looking for is “spitballing”

These places are just like titty-bars. Nothing good happens in or around any of them and eventually they become just another drug and weapons emporium. Whatchu bet you will never see one of them north of the Roundabout. Figure it out.

Walk-on’s is a great concept but who would have known it was going to turn into a thug hang-out. Be careful folks the parking lot there is dangerous

I won't be going back to Costco. A stray bullet will easily reach that parking lot. Not worth the risk.

M-Bar West...

just get ready to dodge bullets going to costco...

Right...Who would have ever thought a 'sports bar' half a mile north of Jackson would spell disaster? Great concept? Bull shit. Can Waffle House, ribs on wheels and an enlarged I-Hop be far behind?

Someone has made a big financial investment in Walk Ons. They better hire some off duty cops to control the thuggery. Ate there last night. Great food and drink but you could could see the rowdy crowd attraction of the place.

@11:53am - Don’t forget your body armor. All the guns in the world won’t protect you from an errant round.

KF, you have mentioned from time to time that you are not slow to refuse a post that is too far out of line. But as I reviewed the current batch of comments about Walk-Ons, it occurred to me that the trolls making the comments are like the bad actors who they say will likely ruin Walk-Ons. They may ruin JJ. They suggest hiring security guards; maybe you should do the equivalent. But then JJ would become a forum for civilized discourse, so never mind. I mean, what was I thinking?

Management of bars controls the environment. They can choose to be a crime attractor, or not. The simplest solution is to not have bars and the resulting DUi risk, and criminal element. But, Gene the Sellout Machine, chooses otherwise.

His peer, John Sigman, has allowed many liquor stores just across the water. He lied about all the "factors" that would prevent a surplus of them, just like the Rankin County Board of Supervisors lies about storage facilities, dollar stores, and other low rent attractants being a factor in the decline of quality of life. Trailers, duplexes, dollar stores, and liquor stores, every 100 feet. It's a disaster, thanks to Sigman and the limp wristed RCBOS.

Hell, Gary "Clogged" Rhodes would LOVE to have an MBar next to a Walk Ons next to liquor stores. That's a win win win for him. More unchecked development. Just like Gene Gene, he's now building a new Palace.

We can see it in the difference in the quality of life in Madison vs Ridgeland and Rankin.

Highland Colony Parkway will become like County Line Road now is. 30 years away.

Isn't Drew Brees part owner of this franchise?

Watch the TV news.
There were some mighty big bullet hole (size of Quarters)in the Chevy Tahoe. What caliber weapon was the hail of bullets coming from?

Of course all of you know it alls have all the answers and information.
Great job as usual RPD.

Thugs need a place to eat and watch the game just like everyone else. Don't blame Walk-Ons. They don't advertise a gang-banger special. And, it didn't happen on the premises like M-Bar.

The mayor of Jackson need to be on unemployment.

You can’t have nothing nice in or around Jackson before it gets overran, destroyed, and closes. Hooters, Twin Peaks, and soon Walk On’s.

I remember when Gene Magee got on Supertalk and announced Walk-on as a family friendly place for Ridgeland.

It’s a bar. I rolled my eyes in the car listening to him on the radio touting walk-on.

Mary won’t allow that crap in Madison. He’s sold out that area to crap.

Follow the money.

Every other shopping center in this area has an expiration date. What on earth made you people think Renaissance would be any different (although I expect that's still relatively far down the road)?

Plenty of room there that MBar could be moved next door. Jump at the chance mayor!

Madison County needs to fight hard as hell to keep from being another Hinds County. If we don't start now we'll end up like Hinds County with a bunch of buffoons in charge.

What were you thinking, Gene? Visions of a walking and bike-riding trail and craftily painted concrete poles to keep little cars from negotiating the sidewalk?

A low, drive-up window for those recumbents? A ceramic bike-parking-rack out front? A respite where you spandex wearing old men could relax on a stool and toast each other with a sarsaparilla?

LOOK! Yonder comes Prime-Time, walkin' through the door! Them's Ridgeland PD motor-scooters out front, wheels all tilted perfectly to the left. Hoodlums all.

Jess wait til you people elect Gerald Steen.

Remember 25 years ago when Buffalo Wild Wings was hailed as a new, family-friendly environment? Your babies were 14 years old. Now they're sitting there swilling warm beer and hollering at TV sets.

to 9;28,,,,,,,,,,,you sound like that clown frank melton, who put titties on trial back in the mid 2000s and lost very badly in federal court
but you are probabley to young or stupid to remember that as people on this blog have very short memories
when the city shut down babes back in 2006 it was because melton found a scapegoat to blame everything on to draw attention away from his failed administration
federal judge henry wingate found , among many other things, there was no such connection between crime and babes and hit the city with about a 7 figure verdict and ordered the club reopened.
the city hasn't come back by since and the cops won't even drive through the parking lot.

4:27 a.m. - The point sailed right between your ears. I mentioned no trial, no law, no verdict, no call to arms. I said, and rightly so, these places are just like titty bars. A titty bar is not a strip club, as was Babe's (I'm 70, was 50 then)). It's a place you go to view fake titties - don't pretend you're unaware.

The only difference in these places and titty bars is the design of the uniform, the number of children seated with parents 'over on the other side' and the bar-tenders' tattoos. Well...and the degree of support from the mayor.

They were armed, seems like Mutual combat, did not go well for the Canton lads, let them go.

Y’all are some dramatic pvsses. Jeez
