Retired Professor Carjacked in Belhaven

 Will mayor's employees attack a carjacking victim again?

A retired Belhaven University professor was carjacked last weekend in Belhaven. The victim posted on Facebook:

November 15, 2021 - The opportunity…
Isaiah 26:3 - “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on Thee, because he trusteth in Thee.” KJV
Perfect peace?
Mind stayed on The Sovereign God?
Trusting in God?
How will you respond when the opportunity comes?
As four masked men rushed toward me in the semi-darkness I realized this was not the opportunity I was seeking to end the day.
As a gun was jammed into my chest, he said “Keys!!” - I responded: “If you kill me, I’ll go straight to heaven”
“Keys!!”
I was not looking for an opportunity, the words just came out: “Jesus loves you.” “Jesus died for you”
The accomplice found car keys, wallet, cell phone in my pockets and suddenly it was over and all the stuff that I so depended on was gone.
Stunned, we prayed “Thank you Lord, it makes no sense; but you love those men and you died for them.”
May the name of Jesus stick like glue in their brains.
Perfect peace? No…
Mind stayed on the Sovereign God? No…
Trusting in God?
Well, if you desire an opportunity for perfect peace and steadfast mind the requirement is TRUSTING even when the opportunity makes no sense.
“You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in You. “ niv

 Quite a few sermons could be made out of that epistle and what an epistle it was. Thankfully, one of those sermons will not be a eulogy.

 Kingfish note: Why did the Kingfish ask if the mayor's employees would attack a crime victim again? Because that is what an employee did when Matt Allen, Megan West, and their children were held up at gunpoint all trick-or-treating in Belhaven. An assistant to Jackson Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba claimed the attempted Halloween carjacking in Belhaven never took place. JJ reported last week that Mr. Stanley Wesley of the activist group "Respect Our Black Dollars" posted on Facebook:

 


However, Mr. Wesley is also a city employee. A public records request revealed:

Stanley Wesley is a City of Jackson employee working as a Mayor’s Office Assistant (General Government/Mayor’s Office), with a rate of pay of $18.27 hourly, and hired on 10/10/2021.  

Wesley and his friends are circulating this crap on Facebook. That video had over 400 comments.  So make no mistake, Mayor Lumumba's employees are trashing crime victims in public with rah-rahs from the mob.  Such is the culture of Jackson, Mississippi.

I understand Mr.Allen's credit cards were used by the thieves after the attempted carjacking and are being tracked back to the thief. According to these conspiracy theorist dreamers, I guess that was all a set up as well. These people that start this stuff are sick.

Yet ANOTHER carjacking in Belhaven. This is like 4 in a month, and guns involved in every one. What the hell is happening to Jackson?

Wow, disgusting from Stanley Wesley.

There needs to be better coordination between JPS and Law Enforcement.

Pull a list of all the students who have been absent at school more than 30 days and I guarantee you a majority of them are the ones committing crimes.

If there is any chance for Jackson to have a future as something other than a third world city, the State of Mississippi is going to have to make the tough decision to take it over, to put in place some sort of conservator, request federal task forces that bring forth the resources of the federal government to get these criminals in the federal court system so they can actually be convicted. Just as surgery and chemo to remove cancer is painful and the recovery can be long, unless the state steps in, there will be no positives in the future for Jackson.

Sadly, if you are a child born into poverty in Jackson, you really have almost no chances of success. If you are a boy born into poverty, you have a much greater chance of entering a life of crime and mayhem than going to college or learning a trade. Put simply, these kids never stand a chance and it is incredibly sad.

If not for the prosperity of Jackson, or the safety, then the state owes the future children being born into this mess a better life.

Money alone cannot solve the problems, leadership, tough decisions and guts is all that can turn the ship.

I spoke recently to a group of ladies regarding safety during the holidays. Number one on the list was "stay out of Jackson"!

Crimes like these WILL continue until the assailants FEAR that their victoms may be armed and might fight back...and perhaps kill them.

This is why concealed carry is important.

Don't count on the mayor to help.
Help yourself.
Fight back.

Only then will it stop.
These scumbags are only emboldened by easy targets and no consequences.
Kinda like the Somali pirates hitting oil tankers.
Arm them or have Navy nearby...no more attacks.
Risks become too high for these losers.

Friends in federal law enforcement report an alarming increase in gang-related violence in Jackson toward each other and citizens - a turf and credibility thing. Folks need to be extra vigilant and aware of their surroundings - especially getting in and out of cars.

I have to admit that I was excited when Antar Lumumba was first elected. Young, energetic, articulate, seemingly sharp and bright. He has been so disappointing and seems to yawn as our city continues collapsing. His closest aides are really jaded, as witnessed by this Stanley guy. The downward spiral has no end, unfortunately.

Where is the police-work - the investigation? Two armed carjackings in Belhaven on Sunday evenings at dusk two weeks apart - plus another a couple weeks before. You don't have to sleep in a Holiday Inn Express to track down a few criminals who are repeatedly terrorizing a neighborhood...

While Mr. Wesley and others in Jackson are busy respecting their "black dollars" they missed out on mine this past weekend. A large group of us went through Vicksburg for a sporting event. Not a one stopped in Jackson for food or gas. Not one dollar spent in that city.

Not because it is run by a black mayor. Not because we are anti Jackson and pro other cities. Simply because the crime is too high and the perception is that the city leaders don't give a shit.

Feel sorry for the businesses that rely on tourist dollars.

All you conceiled carry fans remember, the jury will be made up of people who fall for Stanley Wesley and Antar's mess. You won't be out from under indictment until the case winds its way through appeals several times.

I know a lot of prominent Jacksonian’s living in caged facilities in northeast Jackson. The facilities are nice (when electricity, sewage and water systems are working). There is no opportunity for these people to effectively go for a walk, walk a pet, or jog. I have to hand it to them for not giving up on Jackson. Unfortunately, there is little if any chance for appreciable increases in property values.

Crime is awful and it's increased dramatically everywhere including here.

God bless the victims.

But, anything other than running for office, joining law enforcement, or offering constructive solutions and/or comfort/help to the victims is whining.

As far as I can tell, JPD is doing a pretty good job of catching criminals.

I've already suggested keeping the criminals from being born through sex education would be a good start. Again, I ask you, how do you think babies grow up to be criminals? If they are born that way, we might want to put some big bucks into finding that gene!

Al's got it right. Please reread his message. He's the one who had a gun to his chest, but is he complaining to the world about the state of affairs in Jackson, in his neighborhood, in his front yard!? Is he trashing the Mayor or the police or the community leaders? Making a political statement? He has every right to.
NO, instead what does Al do? He speaks to the sovereignty of God, trusting in Him alone for everything, even when it makes no sense, even when his life was literally on the line, knowing he will wake up in Heaven the moment he dies.
Al literally took what could've been his last breaths to witness to his would be murderers who were holding a gun to his chest. Always sowing seeds of Christlikeness. Trusting in the Lord no matter the circumstances. Al is a giant among men. He is going to Heaven, and he knows it. You can too. Be there!

I thought polo the cypher hated Lumumba? I'm confused.

Until the joke for a criminal justice system in Jackson starts issuing proper verdicts and punishment for crimes the best thing to do is simply stay away. Nearly all of these crimes are being committed by habitual offenders who should already be locked up.

Anonymous said...

Edwards supports whoever directly (or indirectly) pays him. More sycophant-for-hire than mercenary. The 'Allens Made It Up' tale confirms that a initial inclination to totally dismiss 'Polo' out of hand was the right decision from the get go.

Why do you stop posting comments after a spell? I researched this ex-convict "Polo" clown and he needs to be outed. He relishes in being a shitass and tries to be scary. He is big mouth fraud duping his stupid followers.

Mr Wesley is nothing but a racist. Looked at his Facebook page. Everything is black and nothing about everyone working together. Well dear sir, you can have your mess and don’t think for a second these 4 men will not make you a target in the future. Just tell them you hate the white men and I’m sure they will leave you in peace.

A 16 year old black young "man" has been arrested and is out on bond. Cops chased his sorry ass down after this carjacking. KUDO's JPD. Now watch one of our judges look the other way.

We in Northeast Jackson are walking and jogging and have been for years without incident.

I don't need a concealed weapon because it's useless if someone has the drop on me or ambushes me.

I stay alert to my surroundings and the body language of those around me. I have a plans of action in place for different scenarios.

But, then, I actually had a job that required me to go into high crime areas so training was needed. I didn't go armed with a gun. You might want to learn why that's a bad strategy.

Naw...I'd rather enjoy some lawyer telling the court you were the one who posed a threat and the criminal was the one who was defending himself against you.

@11:35 Which is it? You stay alert or is someone going to get the "drop" on you or ambush you?

You're painfully ignorant in your attempt to scream the virtues of NE Jackson. I too live in NE Jackson. I have lived in Jackson for 50 years. I have had extensive training courtesy of the taxpayer and never would I state something is useless in a hypothetical situation whose variables are too numerous to have a "plans". Preparation and planning are not always the same thing.

@ 11:35

I am not an attorney, and I do not regularly carry. The flaw in your argument is "telling the court that you were the one who posed the threat and the criminal was the one defending himself against you", exists at the point where you use the word "criminal."

I have a CC permit and that required some training and it was said "castle doctrine blah blah imminent threat of bodily harm."

In a nutshell, if he s attacking you unless you shoot him while he s running off, you by law probably aren't gonna have to tell "the court" jack, because you have the right under the castle doctrine to defend yourself.

Nothing but a bunch of racist people on this thread. Y'all make me sick. This is not the Mississippi I grew up in. Always quick to yell racism about everything but some of y'all are the WORST racists of ALL OF THEM!!!!!

@ 4:12

Which one of these comments on this thread was "racist"

you know I firmly believe that racism, like other malicious acts, requires at least some intent....... You can't just say well crime is bad and discussing it in a (from what I can see) civilized manner on an internet thread is even REMOTELY racist. Not one slur.....not one mention of a race being associated with XYZ, not one single solitary "racist" comment.

the problem with your mindset is when ACTUAL racism occurs, people don't listen because that horse has been beaten to death by people like you.

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.
