Jackson Jambalaya

These bastards are using full auto! Now KF if you don’t allow my comment the. It’s wrong. Those were full auto shots. My daughter was visiting a friend close to there last night! I had no fuckin idea this happened! And by the way, the State is doing the right thing so all of you trollers listen up. Your time is running out because it has NOTHING to do except the RIGHTFUL THING so don’t bring the race card into this

Color me shocked. A shootout in Fondren.

And people say we don’t need a state court for the CCID. I guarantee these guys have been in front of a Hinds County judge at few times already.

Like kudzu, crime is creeping.

Is my tinfoil hat not working properly, or is the world looking more, and more like a dystopian movie?

I refuse to enter Jackson after sunset. Many great activities & places to enjoy. But it’s just too dangerous a place to be.

I would never live in Jackson. Who is surprised by this? This town is a complete dump. Moved to the burbs.

Wow, Capitol Police sure stopped this from happening.

Don’t worry about this, the powers that be in the Belhaven area have forced an additional tax on the “Belhaven” residents to provide private scurity. Of course, this means the area will be as safe as, let’s say, Reunion in Madison. Property values in Belhaven should soon be sky rocketing.

Fondren is lost and as long as Lumumba remains on his seek and destroy wealth path it only gets worse. Show me one neighborhood in Jackson where once this garbage began the tide was turned and safe normalcy returned. You can't.

Have the naysayers go out into these crime ridden communities in Jackson for a dose of stupidity. Then can can go back into their gated communities.

A bullet don’t know race. As I said before until it affects your loved ones!

A Judge is a Judge regardless if they are elected or appointed. Just don’t commit a crime, Right!

Why can’t we have a safer city?

It’s funny that all the right wing nutjobs argue that they need assault rifles because of the criminals and the army has them. Now the criminals have full autos just like the army. What y’all gonna do now?

I certainly understand that if you can not afford to move out of the Jackson city limits, you have to take the risks that go with living there. I was fortunate enough to be able to move to Madison some time ago.

@646 what are your 3 best solutions to correct the crime problem in the city?
@710 ditto
instead of your criticism how about some solutions
props to the Capital Police!

Ah, a fracas outside a gentleman's club! How lovely! I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, considering the quality of society these days. Tsk, tsk.

Let me tell you, the mere sight of such a disturbance causes me great annoyance and consternation. The utter lack of decorum and gentlemanliness is simply beyond the pale.

However, I must admit, there is a certain twisted humor to be found in such a spectacle. To witness the lower classes acting in such a manner is both amusing and distasteful. It reminds me of the mad Bacchanalian celebrations of the ancient Romans, with their orgies and debauchery.

One cannot help but reflect on the state of our society and wonder where we have gone so wrong. It is a sad commentary on our times, indeed.

But enough of this depressing topic. I must go and attend to more important matters.

Mayor Lumumba is way over his head. This crime problem seems not a problem to him cause he goes to a supposedly safe neighborhood to rest.

Mayor can you go out in the streets and talk to these young men and women that’s committing these crimes. This shigity needs to stop before Big Mama gets killed in the crossfire.

Chief Davis do you think he will let you go?

Just asking for a friend

Has anyone asked the opinion leaders their thoughts?

"[Chokwe Antar Lumumba] a panderer who wants to blame his own incompetence on state and federal leaders who are trying to rectify his mess."

Jackson does not have a crime problem, it has a morals problem.

This was inside Fondren, but not The Fondren

haberdashery

clothing store

not gentleman's club

but but Fondren is so hip n kewl

7:35. What y’all gonna do now?

Shoot better.

@ 7:35 PM - We just train to be more accurate. Full auto is a waste of ammo.

@ 8:06 PM - Haberdashery: Men's clothing and accessories.

This location was identified as a gentleman's haberdashery. Look up the word. It is not the same as a gentleman's club.

If you haven't relocated from Jackson, the train's done left the station, with two lights on behind.

The blue light is your blues, the red light is your mind.

Any attempt to fix Jackson is all in vain.

Dude in the black dropped a clip & went back for it

Yet these elite white Jackson private school parents continue to complain about CCID police expanding

Lumumba should be sentenced to walking the streets of central Jackson at night with no bodyguards and pockets full of cash.

I lived in Jackson for 50 plus years and had NO problems and no crime. The current situation is heartbreaking. PTL for the capitol police for trying to restore some safety and peace. I am rarely at a loss for words, but what is happening in my home town is hard to watch.

Lose Fondren

Game over

This is a little off the subject of this post but I just saw that the Texas Legislature has a proposed bill for the state to take over the government of Austin. Many citizens of Austin are concerned about crime, not enough police officers, homeless invasion, management of utilities,(the city owns electric and water).

I have bought clothing from that establishment...very high quality and most excellent service. Suits, pants, shirts, jackets, you name it
...the best fit and feel...like a second skin. Thoughts and prayers, CM.

So...The report (from the Cap PoPo) redacts the location (see the line of xxxs) but asks for the public's help in gaining information about this shoot-em-up.

The shooting occurred at xxxx. So if you were near xxxx at approximately xxxx, give us a call.

@7:35, Well, unlike you leftist, millennial pissbabies, match firepower

@9:54 PM - "Clip?" Seriously? Did you receive your firearms "training" from Alec Baldwin?

You woke liberal leftists in Fondren and Belhaven get what you vote for. Be safe, it’s gonna get worse.

This looks radical. Isn't radical what Lumumba promised?
Mayor Antar Lumumba: promises made-promises kept.

That, my friends, is a full auto weapon. Jackson is in for a whole new world of hurt if the thugs now have their hands on full auto weapons. Spray and pray... coming to shootout near you.

@9:54 it's called a magazine. A clip goes in a girl's hair.

Get out of Fondren while you can! It's only going to get worse-

why didn't we hear about this sooner? WLBT had something on website 14 hours after it happen; now we have this over 24 hours from shooting???

why so long? why is the address not included?? are the capitol police better??

We want 'our own" judges and court system-- don't we John Horhn?

Story updated, injured got first aid, tourniquet in bowling alley, where he had been earlier, before being shot near State at Duling. Then taken to hospital.

The Capitol Police statement said it occurred by a. business of recreation when as you can see by the video, it took place by the bank and grocery store. Not fair to the business so I removed the name. I expect to catch hell for doing so but oh well.

I agree with 7:35. We should really make automatic guns illegal.
We should also make it illegal for felons to posses guns.
Heck while we are at it, we should probably go ahead and make murder illegal too.
I feel much better now.

There is no mention of this shooting on Nextdoor (The) Fondren nor Belhaven. The ostriches see no evil, hear no evil.

I'm not 6:46 and I am no Lawyer but I'll take a stab at it 7:53.

Implement curfews/roadblocks, hire additional Capital Police or bring in the Guard, arrest anyone breaking curfew or anyone arrested in possession of illegal firearms/parole violations etc is prosecuted to the max almost no leniency, use appointed judges that don't subscribe to Chuckles Catch n Release plan, lock them up long term. Rinse and repeat.

I hate the idea of paying to house them in jail, but we are paying with our safety and peace of mind while they are out. And the rapid procreation rates while free is just compounding the problem with future generations of feral youth.

Of course, the libs and White House will never allow any real course correction because it is somehow racist to want to help the impoverished minority residents enjoy safety because it ultimately threatens their ability to remain in power...so enjoy I guess.

Quick, somebody ask The Baker Man what to do. Work together?

Unapproved comment: good get.

I don't know but I've been told (beside Navy wings being made of ****) that there was a concerted effort in The Fondren to keep this quiet. Oh well, that crowd hates this website anyway.

Oh PUHLEEZ!
You've decided every drunk frat boy,every alcoholic, every domestic abuser,those with an IQ in double digits,those with mental illnesses that refuse evaluation and help, every drug addict has a "right" to a gun and every age can learn to pull the trigger.
Moreover, you want him to have the most lethal guns available.
And, now,you're surprised this is happening all over the country?
You've decided that being well educated, acquiring knowledge, experience,having control of your emotions, thinking before you speak, and being considerate of others is a weakness instead of strength.
Instead of hating bad behavior, you hate "groups". If they are YOUR group, you don't care how mean, nasty or violent they are.
YOU are the problem and you are incapable of solutions!

I think the shooting s justifiable. Who calls their store a Haberdashery in 2023?

As a burb resident, I am not enjoying the abject failure of the city at every turn. It breaks my heart that I cannot visit your city safely.

I just don't understand why so many residents want to hide this and refuse to address it head on with real life solutions. Like Jeff...pushing back because he feels the State's proposal will remove power from the City "leaders" who refuse to help?

The amount of liberal Jackson dwellers that are willing to sacrifice themselves on the alter of Wokedom is something I cannot comprehend.

Complicit as Lumumba.

As I gazed upon the newly constructed bait-and-switch Section 8 mountain behind the now-former Sal & Mookie's Fondren location, I said to my spouse "Fondren is fallen". Fondren merchants had been assured the development would be upscale. Sal & Mookies, Babalu, Barrelhouse, Dumbos...I wonder who's next?
Auto accidents in the area have skyrocketed as well.

That "upscale" apartment complex just east of the old Sal and Mookie's sold to the Fondren a few years ago as a huge plus was quietly rented as low income property. 95% of the renters are single moms with kids and many of them are teenage boys. This was so predicted years ago. Fondren's future is toast, just like 39211 is disintegrating. I wish before God I could leave this hellhole but circumstances won't let me. Seeing and enjoying Jackson in the 70's, 80's and 90's and watching as the cancer spreads slowly killing us is tragic. On top of that, the IDIOTS on the Council are trying to refuse held from the state. unbelievable,

@8:43 I saw it mentioned on Next-door, but someone claimed it was a car backfiring and not gunshots. It hurts to read those comments.

9:04 claims to want to address the problem while also refusing to accept the "problem" is the failure of humans raising decent humans.

So, check back with us when you are ready to talk about the ugly actual source of crime.

Personal responsibility is not as flashy as gun control.

And for sure, drunk frat boys are the national problem we need to focus on.

@9:57 AM - Thanks, that's probably why I didn't see it. Will look again.

9:50 here. Just WEST of Sal and Mookie's.

Free the haberdashery! More bow ties, less AK’s would help Jackson.

Let's go bowling-

9:50, Oxford Court and Downing Court were always intended to be affordable housing. That's how they got financed and built. That's how affordable new housing works. Tell me, sir, where did you find your demographic information? 95% single moms? Wow! And most of them are unfit parents to teenage boys? Imagine that!

For a neighbor, I'll take a Black single mom raising a teenage boy over your sorry ass any day of the week.

It seems the Fondren has made every attempt to ignore and bury this.

I don’t know you can exist down there and hear automatic rifles ant your home or business and not want this on national news.

I moved out of that mess years ago. They won’t get any of my business at Walkers any longer.

About the only thing I did venture into COJ for was music at Duling Hall and Walkers.
And I think I only visited once or twice post-Covid days.

I guess I truly am an ex-pat now.

You guys don't want this to change (see also; opposition to HB 1200) and you obviously don't care about tourism so I will honor your clear intent to keep sane people and our dollars out of your radical/free city.

I hope, with no snark intended, that the people who live there enjoy the land they created.
Everyone deserves to live in a place that represents who they are, and I guess Jackson is that, for some.

10:22 AM is that the Vieux Care Apartments?

I saw something I missed on Facebook that Jeff said. He was against the Capitol police expanding, BUT, he was in favor of "closing of the carveout. The small wedge of Old Canton Road which would cover a significant and important part the the retail along Lakeland Drive and I-55 North between Lakeland and Northside Drive.
I live in Jackson, but do not eat out here because I just do not get out after dark.
I have no idea what restaurants Jeff owns and I had never heard of him until the water crisis.
Does he own restaurants in the "carve out" that he is talking about?
If so, that means he wants protection for himself and not the other areas?

Anyone know if that men's clothing store carries kevlar suits/shirts?

7:35 sounds like the national guard may need to step in and enforce the law since those weapons are illegal and I’d be willing to bet it’s likely that it’s illegal for the perps to possess any type of firearm as they probably already received blessings from the courts.

@5:51pm - Kevlar does not stop rifle rounds.

@9:11, KingFish used that label for the men's clothing store (in an attempt to be witty, one would assume). The proprietor does not use the same. "Clothiers" however...yes. And it is quite nice.

@10:15, 5:51 here. "rifle rounds"? The retort in the video sounded like a handgun round rather than a larger 228 or 308 (albeit fired from an automatic). I'm curious, what makes you suggest those were a higher (rifle) caliber? If it was a handgun caliber then...Kevlar clubwear (TM?)...might be a market for that is all I'm saying.



Or are you simply stating that Kevlar doesn't stop rifle calibers...well yeah, known, that is. Clothier would need to offer armor plating options (pocket squares?). But then, let's not stop. Grenades? Potholes at 45 mph? Water purification system?? Though possibly needed in Jackistan those protections probably aren't a practical off the rack option to keep in inventory...but I hear they do offer custom clothing, so maybe ask?

Only a few of you clowns REALLY know the deal over there first hand BUT within BLOCKS of this area was lost 25 years ago....NOW, they have tossed fresh meat to the wolves. I lived near this area in late 1980's. I went to sleep to the faint sound of gun shots every night, off towards the area of West, Bailey and Livingston St. I could not IMAGINE what it would be like to live or even eat or visit that area now. No way in HELL if you KNOW what is lerking in the darkness would you even be down there.

Automatic rifle fire directed 38 inches in front of the feet will pretty much cut anybody off at the ankles. The Trauma center at UMMC can't assemble a team large enough to attach feet. But the man missing those feet will get a front table at Walkers with a complimentary pudding desert.

Fuck safety...It's all about customer service.
