Jackson Jambalaya

Tyrants always lie to their subjects.

When you have to say it out loud, you know it isn't true. To paraphrase Shakespeare, I think you protest too much.

You get the leadership you deserve.

Like Stokes said "I believe the mayor's smoking that dope!!"

Even his base isn't buying his BS any more. His days are done.

Completely clueless 🤣

He said he can’t speak about the mud bug shooting because it was on
“state property”. I guess those bullets stopped before enter Jackson property.

He's talking about Jackson, TN.

WOW!!.....I am relieved to hear that we are all safe in Jackson. I surely would never have guessed that to be true given the constant revelations about shootings, stabbings, robberies etc. I feel better now!

Wow. 27 minutes and no one from a Madison cow pasture has committed?

That dude can use more buzzwords (wrongly) in a two-minute sound bite than anybody I know.

Jackson has jurisdiction on fairgrounds. JPD can investigate all day long. Special events and their security on fairgrounds are MDAC responsibility but that does not deny Jackson jurisdiction.

LMAO

Then why does he need armed guards for personal protection? No one outside of MS even knows who this clown is! What an idiot.

Yeah mayor don't let those 155 murders in 2021 and 130 in 2020 take away from your safe city...idiot

Finding dead people in houses, on the streets, and in ditches daily, sometimes hourly...but Capt. Buzzword Salad says we are all ok.

So he has no police jurisdiction over property owned by another in Jackson? That is unprecedented new law. where is the NYT?

Attn 2:33 I am one of the previous commenters and I am from Madison.

NEJ resident here. I can assure you that this mayor is the most clueless person in America at the moment. Maybe a city judge can get him a mental evaluation. I am so sick of this man child
What a fool. This guy really is on a cloud in terms of his thinking or views of reality.

"Even his base isn't buying his BS any more. His days are done." Sorry and no offense meant, but he'll go right back in. Memories are short in Jackson.

Over 30 shots were fired and a teenager shot last Wednesday on Southbrook Drive. A 14 year old was shot and killed last Saturday on Sedgwick Court, Ciper shot and killed Robert Davis Sunday. And also on Saturday over 100 shots were fired at the fairgrounds and another 14 year old shot and killed and others wounded. 3 people shot and killed in 4 or 5 days and numerous others wounded. But yeah, Mayor, Jackson is safe. Great job deflecting and ignoring reality. Neeexxxttt.

Three pinocchios for the little boy-

Remember, May is Mental Health Awareness month.

Au contraire Lil Choke, there were a hundred shots into the crowd, Governor said, probably based on Capitol Police report to him.

Who will want to be in a future downtown Jackson crowd when one could be outlined in chalk and rolled out? Aye, Choke, why weren't you down there talkin to your homies if it's safe?

Just waiting in the wings to replace King Bennie when he croaks.

Oh, it is safe... for criminals, law breakers, gangs, and the worst of what Mississippi has to offer...

What does the actual data say?

Do they have water and is it safe?

Does sewer overflow?

Are there potholes in the street?

Is the garbage being picked up or not?

Does crime occur at an abnormal rate?

It doesn't matter what the mayor says, or what kingfish says, or what I say. All that matters is what the data and proof say about the above questions. So let's answer them.

Do they have water and is it safe? Some in the city lost water for 30 days in February-March 2021. That didn't happen in the surrounding areas that experienced the exact same ice storm. I know that Bear Creek Water in Gluckstadt provided water to Nissan so that they could operate for a month after the ice storm because Jackson could not provide it.

Does sewer overflow? Often and at a disproportionate rate compared to the surrounding areas. Raw boo-boo says Kenneth Stokes. Jackson is under a consent decree.

Are there potholes in the street? Open your eyes and see. Or drive the streets. It ain't hard.

Is the garbage being picked up or not? Kingfish has witnesses stating it was not picked up as scheduled last week in Jackson CC. The missed pick-ups appear to occur more often than with the previous vendor (Waste Management)

Does crime occur at an abnormal rate? Homicide, theft, and property crimes occur at a much higher rate than the surrounding areas.

So Lumumba is in denial. The facts are the facts. Hard data trumps anybody's opinion or eloquent speech.

Well 2:16 it doesn't hurt when the subjects are:

* dumber than the tyrant
* butthurt liberals who deny the facts
* Dim-O-Krats who are going to embrace the "suck" no matter what
as in higher gas prices, food prices, run-a-way inflation and those
higher interest rates to really push people to buy cars, houses and
start businesses......

"word salad" = "a confused or unintelligible mixture of seemingly random words and phrases, specifically (in psychiatry) as a form of speech indicative of advanced schizophrenia."

I agree with the Mayor, I’m safe and 68 miles south of Jackson on a farm!

Good, I feel safe now. I was unsure there for a little while.

Tijuana and Juarez, cartel killing grounds, have a lower murder rate. Spare us the lies, Antar. LIAR.

Harvard Libtards are fools and believe your racist bull.

But the facts don't change.

In other news, Jackson's water and sewer systems are in prime condition and lying under pristine streets.

Of course it is safe considering that Jackistan is in violation of the law by not releasing their crime statistics, right?

For those people in a certain age group, in a certain demographic, in certain neighborhoods, with a certain economic level, with a certain level of education, it is damn, damn, dangerous. For those others like the mayor, not so bad.

For that first group, who cares? Not the mayor.

"Remain Calm! All is well!"

The Police Chief and the Mayor know where the problem areas are in Jackson. They also know the young men/juveniles carrying guns illegally, they know who the dope boys are!

It’s now time to sweep these communities and get rid of these fools before they accidentally kill innocent people. It’s time for Jackson to put law and order in place.

When night falls they creep, just like roaches! It ain’t hard to find these fools!

If that had been a 1971 Jack Webb screenplay script
From "Emergency" ... set in Jackson 2022 it would be something like this:

(Paramedics)

"Rampart... Squad 51 on scene. Five down,one deceased."
Request more police ... over"

(Rampart Hospital)

"Negative Squad 51. Be advised the Mayor has a group of holistic social workers in route"

Jackson Mayor with bodyguards lives in a gated community has no interest in Jackson’s crime problem! Hell, I wouldn’t either!!! It’s is understood when you do better you can live better. There is not a problem with being prosperous, however you can’t help the people that need help when you sit on a throne! Yes, I know you were elected by the people, but damn Mayor you got to get a handle on these young fools with guns! We need to start throwing these fools away(incarcerate a long time) to get this point across!

We just got to get them in the system! Fire the Police Chief or let him do his job. Mayor support your police force! The fools on the street don’t vote!!! Or is it true, you cater to them dope boys? Just saying!

His legacy will always and forever be the shrined M-Bar, just down the street from Chuck-E-Cheese. That reminds me of 8 or so years ago, my children were invited to a birthday party at Chuck Cheese’s. My children’s tickets were robbed from their hands by a grown thug ass pimp, who handed them to his children. I still hope he slipped on the prized slinky they won. Can we petition to have that Ridgewood Street renamed to Chuck’s Easy Street?

5:53: The police chief goes in whichever direction the mayor points him. For whatever reason, the mayor is not going to point him toward the gangs that run Jackson's streets.

Frank Melton tried to co-opt the gangs to be on his team. Apparently, that was just a trial run for Lumumba, who has been much more successful at inclusion (of the criminal element). That's Black Panther 101 - bring the gangs in.

REMAIN CALM!! ALL IS WELL!!

Whole Foods is pulling out of Mobile and Montgomery. Jackson isn’t far behind.

No one with any sense that lives outside the city limits will come there again unless medically necessary.

Chok said that all these shootings are interpersonal.

What in the cornbread hell is this idiot trying to prove? Juveniles shooting people is a sad state of the city of Jackson. He can deflect all he wants, but everything this jackwagon touches is proof of his failed administration.

He actually said that with a straight face. Send him to Hollywood. Or Washington.

Welcome to the New Jack City! Mayor Nino Brown at your service.

Lying is the ONLY thing Mayor Chalklines is good at.

To all of the idiots who voted for this fool, you have driven the final nails into Jackson’s coffin. Congratulations.

If you are not a resident of Jackson and you go into the city for anything other than going to the hospital you re an idiot. It is nothing but a shit hole and its not coming back. If the mayors election was being held today he would still get 70% of the vote just like he did when they didn't have running water. Its the worst city in America.

So let's take the Mayor at his word. Suppose that violence over by Sedgwick is gang-related or among people who know each other. These shooters are not snipers, one shot, one kill. They spray while you pray - the bullets don't hit you. Tell the neighbors who are diving to the floor they are safe.

I'm not really sure why anyone would live in Jackson voluntarily.

Jackson is a war zone.
I am expecting General Butt Naked of Jackson any day now.
BTW General Butt Naked is a preacher now. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Butt_Naked

The mayor talked about “layers” of issues related to crime. I wonder what he thinks the bottom layer is. Who is ultimately to be blamed for the crime problem? Certainly not the young perpetrators themselves or their absentee fathers.

My last remaining pal in NE Jxn finally gave up and sold last month.

I can't see any reason I'll ever visit again.

Mr Mayor of Jackson, If this city is safe why do you have bodyguards and live in a gated community? I ain’t trying to be humorous or disrespectful just being real!

Mr Mayor get off your high horse and walk thru the communities that you think are safe with your bodyguards! What are you hiding and why are needed resources used for your personal use?

We can spin the mud bug shooting all you what, but all the sane people know it happened in Jackson and ain’t coming to nothing else unless it’s daylight, maybe! Because they know these fools rarely come out during the daylight! They lurk at night and prey on the weak.

Just saying, RIGHT

This is what is wrong with our society. How in the hell is this old man guilty of crime? How did he deserve to lose his job?

I've been in Jackson since the late 1950s.....I've never seen anything like this. It will take your breath away just how far the City has declined in the last four years. Can you imagine four more years of this?

If Jackson is so safe, why does the mayor need a security detail?

If your buddy shoots you are you not as dead as when a stranger shoots you? Does the law say that if you shoot your friend it isn't really murder? Just keep all of your buddy shooters in your city. No one cares if they all shoot each other. Other places are not like Jackson. Most think if you kill another person it doesn't matter if you know them or not.

May 4, 2022 at 9:53 AM; the bottom layer, per the mayor and every other marxist, leftist, democrat, is the same; systemic racism, created by and perpetuated by those evil, racist white men.

He needs to address his toxic pride, because he’s not fooling anybody. In fact, he looks weaker and weaker the more he regurgitates his empty talking points. Reminds me a lot of trump. You know, if we don’t test for covid, we won’t have as many cases.” Lumumba has no credibility left.

@1.24-you keep saying “Jackson supplies water to Nissan “. No way Nissan would have come to Madison County if Jackson supplied utilities . Take a ride up I-55 and look at that big old water tower on it right next to the plant. You lose credibility when you make up your own facts.

I was a supported of Chokwe at first.

I will be doing everything in my power to make sure he is not re-elected.

His definition of safe is defined by the fact that murders are generally between known parties? What a clown. How insensitive.

Belhaven alone has had 50+ incidents of crime that include public flashing, harassments of women, breaking and entering with weapons, armed robbery, carjacking.

Every single one of these instances of crime is lifechanging and traumatic for the victims involved.

The sick part of all of this is that the police often are overwhelmed are push back against filing a report because it "wont do anything." Yea, I guess when there have been 140+ murders in a year public flashing is not that big of a deal. That is until someone gets violently raped.

I wonder if there is come kind of class action lawsuit or something that can be put together for gross negligence. Or a recall.

Chokwe, you are sick for minimizing this and calling Jackson safe.

Be a leader. Take ownership.

@3:31 Nissan does get water from Jackson. Jackson sells water from OB Curtis to MMEIA (Mississippi Major Economic Impact Authority). MMEIA is part of MDA. MMEIA owns a large waterline that runs through Ridgeland, Madison, Gluckstadt, etc. all the way to the 1.5 million gallon water tank on I-55 near Nissan. MMEIA sells water to CMU and Bear Creek. CMU resells that water to Nissan and Bear Creek resells it to a few Nissan suppliers. When Jackson can't provide the water, Bear Creek usually becomes the backup supplier. I am 100% positive of this.

So when Jackson is functioning properly, Nissan and a few suppliers are in fact using water from OB Curtis.

@331 to @503—I apologize for doubting your facts. The independent tower threw me off. I imagine there was a requirement that Bear Creek would be a back up and the water tower could service immediate needs.

@8:56 Nissan is a CMU customer. But CMU gets the water for that one customer from MMEIA who gets it from Jackson. So Nissan gets a bill from CMU. But the water is produced by Jackson, rather than by normal CMU sources.
