Jackson Jambalaya

My Lord!

If they are going to be speaking in front of an audience, it seems like they would have dressed up a bit.

Those are some of the fattest people that I have seen in a while.

That's so depressing.

Anybody know what key they were singing in?

Mrs. Eastover. When are you moving to Madison?

If they got a job they wouldn't be poor.

Guest appearance by Jabba the Hutt.

Up with HOPE... down with DOPE..

Free the land (whales)

Mayor Lumumba is playing 3D chess while Kingfish and Tater Tot are playing checkers.

FLEE THE LAND

The city supporting downtown businesses by block the street.

Free the land from what?

wow. This is so stupid and negative. Not only for Jackson, but the whole State of Mississippi . Anyone considering moving here, will do a quick research, and decide Mississippi is "not an option".

I’m embarrassed for these people. It’s really sad.

My Lord what an absolute joke

Honest question: How many photos of overweight poor people have you seen from the Depression Era?

Oh, a march where they shout doggerel and shake their little fists at The Man? It's like the sixties all over again.

Flee the Land. I like it.

These people should not be promoting obesity. Obesity is a leading indicator of diabetes which can often lead to amputations.

Ridiculous. But maybe effective? That song has been stuck in my head for 30 minutes.

1) 6:11 - They Did!

2) Kingfish - I think you meant Geaux.

3) Who is the long haired dancing,fat guy wearing a priest's collar?

4) What are the chances I could get a parade permit to chant, "Hey Hey, Ho Ho, Baby Chock He got to go!" ?

5) Have a bless Tuesday.

Who financed this protest? Where did the concert sound stage come from? Who brought in sound equipment, the white folding chairs and all the banners? None of this is FREE. Who paid for this?

This is like a bad reality show.

@6:14
Who financed this protest?
Soros
Bloomberg
Schwab
Fink

The usual suspects

7:56 PM...What do we win when his 3D chess game is over? What is his master plan?

The Left has sloganeered these parodies of old '40s and '50s "rah-rah" cheerleading since at least the sixties, the "hey, hey, ho, ho" and the "What do we want? When do we want it?" It's so tiresome. Why can't they just come up with some good memes that will change my mind?

The thinly veiled racism is strong on this one… I bet half of y’all commenting about their weight are only 30 lbs lighter than they are

It is sad that the Capitol city has been so evacuated that the town w as able to make Capitol street a two way street with virtually no need for stop lights and pedestrian walk signs.

That is so uncalled for. Who spent all that money? Who gave permission to hold the rally? I would like to have had a survey of "who paid their water bill over the last several years" from the crowd. What does free the land mean? Do they realize we would not have water if Reeves had not stepped in. Our mayor wasn't doing anything and didn't even let us know the water was bad from April 2021.

“Free The Land!” We want independence so that we can ensure our Human Rights are protected and that our land will be a zone and base for all who seek liberation and freedom…………………But we’re going to need you to fix everything beforehand.

They should get the state to pay for the garbage pick up too!

What a vulgar display of ignorance

Do these people not read? Who do they think is funding the "clean" water? They want it public so they don't have to pay a damn bill! What the hell is "Free the Land?" Free to kill indiscriminately? I am completely at a loss. Was Chokwe at your little tantrum or was he out of town again on YOUR dime?

Well, at least they got some exercise.... 6:14 - I'm with you - who financed this???

That is the most walking those folks have done in a long time!

Stupid people stupidly pushing stupidity.

@6:14 AM Probably the Poor People's Campaign. They were raising money during the (ongoing) water crisis... maybe they spent it here.

I blame social media. People think they can post/say anything and as long as it supports a protected "cause", anything they say/do is not only protected but promoted. So, the fixed media, feels like they have to get their likes and jump on that woke bandwagon.... so, then the Rukia's of the world feel like they have to double down on the social media culture so that they can take advantage of the real media's need to stay relevant.

it's a vicious cycle of wokedness

bizzaro-world

Count yourself lucky or un-lucky, whatever the case may be. You now have a face of the voting block that perpetuates the continued election of leaders that have flushed Jackson down the toilet. Pun intended…

I've got a suggestion. Let's change the voting requirements to remove the citizenship requirement and replace it with a "must be a contributing tax payer" requirement. I don't care where you came from or what your skin tone is, are you part of the solution or part of the problem?

FREE the calories-

Do any of these people have jobs

I don't understand what they are protesting against?? And, I have a master's degree in computer science.

Ironic considering Tate Reeves actually did clean the water...

"Poor People's Campaign" - Is that really a thing? These poor people don't even understand what they are chanting...

Biden's policies have made them exponentially poorer. Unfortunately, they are much too stupid to understand.

Interesting that the Mayor et al. would rather have a "public" water system that cannot provide clean drinking water than a "private" system that can. This is a deeper conflict that money is not going to solve.

You can tell there's hardly anyone there - the cameraman keeps the focus tightly on the platform party. No pans to show the "crowd."

@6:14. I’m sure the particulars were all worked out with Senator Wicker when he went to the World Economic Forum meet in Davos this year. Notice they aren’t protesting the mayor, who did this to them, they are protesting the red state governor. This is a planned attack on Mississippi in an effort to flip it blue.

The banner said something about clean water and "keeping it public". I think EVERYONE would agree that is the best solution. Apparently, that hasn't been working out due to the incompetence by city leaders, which is why the state had to step in and repair a broken, neglected system. Manage and operate the system and no one will mention the need to contract with a private vendor to handle the self inflicted problem of incompetent leaders.

October 10, 2022 at 6:31 PM; all of them and none of them.

Who would show up to proclaim their poverty?

These are the main supporters of our idiot mayor… are they protesting him?

Why doesn't NBC Nightly News run a story about this>

I like 10:03's idea. But these "men of God" who claim to be preachers would simply "hire" every unemployed member of the congregation for a day or two to W9 them into being able to vote.

Criminals are incredibly smart at being lazy and never losing their perks and benefits.

They would find a way around any rule that threatened that.

@ 10:31

If you read the doctrine of the poor peoples campaign (which I unfortunately have), they indicate that they want to switch from a a war economy to a peace economy. This appears to be a moniker for communism. They want the land in Jackson and absolute control over every aspect of it. So basically what they are protesting FOR is to control and own Jackson, Mississippi. This should alarm people as these folks are sinking their claws deeper and deeper into Jackson Government, i.e., the election of chokwe lumumba Sr. and Jr.

What's fun is if you try to dig into the money/power behind "The Poor People's Campaign". They've been around since MLK in the 60's and clearly have money to blow based on the signs, flags, banners, shirts, giveaways, etc., but they file a 990-N postcard tax filing saying they take in less than $50K a year.

Kingfish - has anyone ever looked into why Lord Mayor has his social media accounts set up so only his friends can comment? This is a 1st Amendment (or Section 13 of the MS Constitution) violation and further evidence his honor cannot take criticism despite being "the most transparent"

Why don't they just come on out and say it:

Give Lumumba a billion dollars of federal money so he can finally implement his father's vision of the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement and establish the Republic of New Afrika in what used to be Jackson.

That's the goal.

Time for the State to do whatever it takes to takeover Jackson management while the current legislative leaders and super majority are in place.

11:44 Try not to get bent out of shape over this. These people would protest life itself if they couldn't find something else to protest. It gives their lives meaning. Their only influence is pissing off people like these bloggers and hoping they get some news coverage. When people have NOTHING to eat and your money is really, really worthless, thats when you should be really concerned. Not now.

Well...
they,unlike those with Swastikas and body tats with their militia allegiance or spouting insane conspiracy garbage who actually are being tried and convicted for their violence,
these folks may be well meaning but are ineffectual and aren't not a threat.
Perhaps, in time, they will learn enough about politics to be peaceful AND effective.

But, your party thinks Hershel Walker is has the judgment and morality to be in government and are pretending that he is controllable. How stupid are y'all? You can't control the insane who won't stay on their meds. But, keep recruiting them...you'll love how quickly when they have power, YOU become their enemy or a threat.

Sadly, these people don't realize they're being lied to and used by the Mayor and his sister. They don't realize that it was the City and the Mayor who failed to maintain the City's water system and allowed it to collapse. Nor do they realize that it was the Governor and the State that came in and got their water running again. If it wasn't for the Governor stepping in, Jackson would still be without running, drinkable water to this day.

You want the Governor and the State to stay out of Jackson's business and specifically the water system ? Ok, but this winter when the water stops running again, don't ask for the Governor's or State's help. Look to the Mayor to solve the problem. And good luck with that.

The people who marched like this 60 years ago were true heros fighting for a just cause. This ragtag group is just a bunch of opportunists collecting a $20 bill for showing up. Yes, they are paid to do this. Same group at every protest.

What do we want?

Sequestration

When do we want it?

NOW!

12:03 Correction. Not the same "Poor People's Campaign" as what MLK marched with in the 60's. Not the same at all. Get it right.

Does the clown on the PA not realize the city is who made the water dirty and Tate Reeves stepped in and SAVED THE DAY....Now free dat land!!!!
