Jackson is Murder Capital, USA

 Jackson has the highest homicide rate among major American cities.   WLBT reported yesterday: 

People are being killed at a higher rate per capita in the Capital City than any other major city in the U.S., according to a 3 On Your Side analysis of more than fifty municipalities across the country.

With 153 killings thus far in 2021, the homicide rate for Jackson is 99.5 per 100,000 residents, a rate that blazes past Memphis, St. Louis, and Baltimore.

For this analysis, 3 On Your Side calculated per capita rates of killings for cities with a population of at least 130,000, including major ones like Chicago, Los Angeles, and Philadelphia, and cities that had previously been ranked for high homicide rates, such as New Orleans and Baton Rouge. Article and video.

The Mayor can blame Covid-19 all he wants but the number of homicides per year in Jackson ranked in the top five each year during every year of his tenure.  Mayor Lumumba ran off a good police chief, demoted his competent command staff, hid crime stats, pushed the DA to prosecute innocent police officers, instituted no-chase policies for almost anything, and benched cops who were dumb enough to defend themselves when fired upon.  The result is a decimated police force while the streets of Jackson descend into savagery and that, my friends, is the bottom line.

But Chowke is perfectly safe behind his wall and gate, while protected by a security force of JPD officers 24/7, right?

Why, as reported in the article, does poverty have anything to do with Jackson’s nation leading murder rate? I can assure you all cities listed have similar poverty rates. One direct effect of the Jackson crime rate is the massive real estate growth in west Ridgeland and Madison. I have lived in Madison for 20 years and I only remember one murder. It was a Jackson state professor murdered by some JSU students. The abduction and murder of the child from Kroger in Jackson happened in unincorporatedMadison county.

“[We’re] 40% below poverty; that’s got a lot to do with it. And, you know, it’s the pandemic, and people could not work and just not a lot of jobs right now,” Harris said.“

This might be the dumbest comment/excuse I’ve heard in a long time.

I’m glad a local major news network finally reported on these facts. Those of us that follow Kingfish already knew Jackson was the murder capital of the USA per capita. I can’t wait to hear the mayors response to the WLBT report. Oh wait…. He just won’t respond. Those of us remaining in Jackson should move ASAP. It’s over. Jackson is lost.

Maybe they should do another study. Pick cities below the south border. I am sure Jackson would still be high on the list but maybe not first.

There are many reasons for the murder rate in Jackson. Certainly the Mayor and his administration have decimated the police department, also Hinds Counties judicial system, which has been on the decline for years shares blame. The current state of affairs in Jackson and similar cities can be traced back to the 1960’s when LBJ and congress first implemented welfare programs that incentivized fatherless homes that began the breakdown in the family structure. Over the decades too many children born to mothers who were children themselves, led to the decline in public education and other social institutions.
Again, the current problems are decades in the making and will take years to begin to improve. Without leadership from the minority community nothing will change. Unfortunately, there doesn’t appear to be that leadership on a local or national level, only calls for more social programs which will only exacerbate the current problems.

2:18, Jackson would rank 5th worldwide if it had a population large enough to make the list. The top contenders are cities controlled by drug cartels. Maybe that helps explain Jackson’s homicide rate as well.

Jackson is higher than Tijuana. the most violent city in the world according to some, for last year.

And, that's incredible. Tijuana is almost at 2000 murders annually, for a city of 2.2 million (1 out of 1100).

Jackson is at 155 or so, out of 153,000. That's 1/1000.

Higher than the most violent city in the world for last year.

But, it's white folks, right?

No, it's not.

1. Stop And Frisk (SAF). Can you read that you failure of a Mayor? Quit the faux hyperbole blaming a lack of marxist equity.

2. And concentrate SAF on West Jackson, which sponsors 95% of murders, every single day and night.

3. Sell off all the surplus real estate Jackson owns but won't take care of and/or can't produce positive cash flow from, so you have funds to fix your ineptly maintained infrastructure.

4. Study and replicate Giuliani's "Broken Window" policy.

@2:33. You are exactly correct and no one wants to address this. The Welfare State doesn't do anyone any good!! (except the politicians that dole out the handouts).

Nationwide children are being raised to respect no one. They have no father figures in their lives to inspire respect. They will kill you without a lot of hesitation. Jackson because of it's demographics is the epicenter of such conduct. It will not get better soon, not in Jackson.

You have to give the Left credit where credit is due....and they deserve credit for their messaging! They can convince their base of, literally, whatever they want, because there is no thinking between what the left says and their base's reaction.

To wit: “[We’re] 40% below poverty; that’s got a lot to do with it. And, you know, it’s the pandemic, and people could not work and just not a lot of jobs right now,” Harris said.

The dude said, JUST NOT A LOT OF JOBS RIGHT NOW! There may be a lot we don't have a lot of right now, but JOBS ain't one of them! Yet, that's what he's been told, so he shouldn't believe his lying eyes, he should believe what he's been told.

Kudos to the crazy, moronic, lazy, degenerate, evil, mentally ill left! In Jackson, at least, you should never worry about losing another election.....in perpetuity!

Poverty has little to do with it. Many past leaders grew up penniless, but they almost always had strong families and loving parents.This fatherless and non caring mother society developes this thug society.

The mayor is totally inept. With that said part of the blame here also belongs to the county board of supervisors and the Hinds county judicial system. Can’t keep them in jail AND won’t keep them in jail. Direct correlation. If you can’t see it you’re a voter in Jackson/Hinds county

This is what the majority of the voting citizens want. That’s why they vote these folks back into office. They’re just getting what they asked for in spades. Jackson will just get worse until the voting majority is changed out

When there is no fear of punishment, then there is no respect for law of the land. This should not be happening. This city was too good to be this way. As I get older I understand things HAVE to change. Wish it didn’t but it does. We can’t bring back what was once good. We can’t, in today’s time speak our minds or we will be censored. But, we all know when the demographics changed in Jackson everything went South and did in a big kind of way.

If Medger Evers knew what people would do to their communities when given the ability to make the choice to destroy them would he have risked his life to let people make the choice? So many brave men and women risked their lives for self determination and the citizens of Jackson have thrown their sacrifices in the gutter by voluntarily choosing to live like animals.

Mayor -- all, read that again, ALL of the other cities included in this analysis have had to deal with the pandemic. All have faced similar conditions as we have here in Mississippi. In fact, most other states have had worse conditions, but we won't bother to enter into that distraction because your political idiology will try to use some argument to blame your failure on something not relevant.

There are plenty of jobs available for any reasonable person in Jackson that wants a job. No, if they are convicted criminals some of those positions may not be as quickly offered, but even for those individuals if they were serious felonies there are opportunities.

Its not poverty. Look at the other cities listed, and the areas where their homicides are occuring. We can beat them in that statistic as well, if you want to brag about another of yourn failings.

As with everything else you and your scycphantic followers (employees?) want to do, trying to blame this on the failure of the state - please tell me why this only occurs under your watch, and not in the other majority black areas of Mississippi. Or any other part of the state for that matter.

Your failure to provide the basic services required of a government: Security, health safety (not your mandates re: COVID, but things like sewer systems that work, continuing effective garbage collection, safe drinking water); and basic infrastructure speaks to your administration. Yes, the preceding few administrations failed as well: Yarber spent too many nights dancing around the stripper poles while awarding contracts; Melton tried to hard to protect his guys while busting others; and Johnson provided plenty of plans, over and over, to fix everything but never implemented.

But you can't continue to blame your failure on those that proceeded you. Your campaign was that you would do things to move forward, not backward. Your campaign was to benefit Jackson, not what you considered to be improving your national standard. Granted, its obvious you don't give a damn about Jackson as long as your mug gets its attention on the nationwide scale of those that measure your ilk. So - give it up. Turn the city over to those that can manage it and get out of their way. Of course, you won't do that. But in the interim, its your demographic that is getting killed every other day. Your failure to address that is a great indicator of your (and your handlers) interest in what actually happens to those deprived of a decent life situation under your regime.

7:34--I get what you are saying but it isn't the majority of voters, but rather the majority of people who voted. For example, Mayor Lumumba was elected wit 69.3% of the vote. That would be amazing except that he only received 13,210 votes out of 19,051 cast. There are 175,000 citizens in Jackson. I have no idea how many are registered to vote but have no idea how a leader is elected with such a pitifully small number.

8:16 Medgar lived in his own time. The people he died for were not like these. Their values were different their experiences were different. Circumstances were different. It will take an extreme change of circumstance to bring these people back to the spiritual underpinnings of their grandparents. It will take a mega disaster to bring them to their knees and to their senses. They will have to become self-reliant. Too bad, but that's it.

9:07, the problem with the turnout was that there wasn't an acceptable alternative. Nobody of any substance filed to run against the incumbant Mayor (thank you, MS legislature, for setting the filing deadline as such a short period, in order to protect your own asses) due to his advanced campaign bank account and it being before the latest disaster with the water system. When the choices were a discredited woman who has run as a Republican, Democrat, Independent, and crazy person, along with other perinneal candidates who all thought that they could win because their white neighbors convinced them that they were the saviour, and the other major party candidate being a nice guy with no basis to be the alternative ---- nobody turned out.

But now that the radical new city has reached the ultimate (that being the absolute bottom) its a different story. But Baby Chock doesn't give a damn any more; he's set in this role and now has lofter ambitions. He knows he has failed here, but just as his icon (Bennie) did, he made his dollars here, and looks to move to the national scale, to hell with Jackson, just as Bennie said to hell with Hinds COunty when he took his millions to the eight miles surrounded by reality known as the District of Columbia.

Chockwe doesn't care anymore. He may be proud of his latest record because it is a record. Granted, those that have lost their lives were from what shold be his base, but what the hell, its only a few votes. He looks to get to where the real money is - over the Macon-Dixon line.

Jackson had a Police Chief that had identified the problem. I forget his name but he had the five stars on his shoulders and wore the purple sunglasses. He said "The Young Black Male In This Town Is Outta Control"
And then that's the last we saw of him!

907 you are saying the same thing. Apathy is saying the status quo is ok. Same as voting the same folks in. Otherwise it’s just plain ignorance. Problem is with the citizens of Jackson, plain and simple, no matter which way you look at it.

The 99 per 100k number is based on the 2020 census which said there were 154,000 people in Jackson. But that was done in the middle of 2020. Jackson has been losing 2000 people per year for the last deacade.

Extrapolating from that the present population of Jackson is 151,000, so the homicide rate for 2021 is 153 / 151,000 or 101 per 100k.

I wonder how long it will be before Chok is my Congressman in District 2. Then he can embarrass us on the national stage just like Bennie.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, if Mr. Fish will allow:

"The Dunning-Kruger effect is a type of cognitive bias in which people believe that they are smarter and more capable than they really are. Essentially, low ability people do not possess the skills needed to recognize their own incompetence. The combination of poor self-awareness and low cognitive ability leads them to overestimate their own capabilities."

It’s not just the mayor. It’s a failure of the people. The people that elect the mayor fail. The people that show up for jury duty and scream for the “young man” on trial not the deceased. The fault lies with the people that elect the da, sheriff, and judges that make the situation worse. You can not change Jackson without changing the people. This is what the majority of the people of Jackson want. Honest people of Jackson now decide whether it’s worth the life of their children and grandchildren.

Group 1: People w/ intelligence who blame Chock for Jxn woes.

Group 2: People w/o intelligence who blame the Governor.

Sadly, Group 1 was also smart enough to leave when they no longer had a representative (read: SANE CONSERVATIVE) voice in Jxn government.

Group 2 will continue to vote based on candidate skin color, not talent...so there is just no way to recover.

Jackson could have the best police chief in the world with a fully manned patrol division and it wouldn’t matter. Policies like stop and frisk or zero tolerance won’t do the trick either, not until there is a jail that will house not only felons but misdemeanors as well. Until a newer, larger jail is built criminals will continue run the streets of jackson.

Anonymous said...

Build a jail sufficient to hold misdemeanants in addition to felons and Lumumba will direct JPD to stop arresting misdemeanants. Who wants to wager?

Build a twin tower high rise county jail in downtown Jackson. The new twin tower 50 story County Jail Tower complex would be the tallest buildings in the city while hiding the symbolic representation of cultural decay.

After that we need some robocops just as soon as google can work the racism out of their facial recognition algorithms. Look it up.

I think I am becoming jealous of the low IQ Jackson constituents.

The people who are cursed with basic intelligence are forced watch society fail but we are far too outnumbered to affect change.

The answers are relatively simple, though admittedly the solutions are not.

And unpopular solutions don't get career politicians reelected.

Ignorance really is bliss...and knowledge (without any realistic option for action) is a burden.

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.
