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?

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.

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

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

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.

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?

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......

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.

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?

Anonymous said...

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.

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.

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.

Kingfish said...

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.

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.

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

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.

Wow said...

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.

Anonymous said...

@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.

Anonymous said...

@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.

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.
