Is “temporarily pause” the same as “fleeing?”

So much for academic honesty.

When is Mayor Transparency going to realize this "perception of crime" narrative is all made up in his head?

NEWS FLASH MAYOR: take a peek from behind your gated community to see what's really going on in Jackson.

Good for Fedx

Looks like this could be contagious with other delivery services too.
The safety of my employees would be first and foremost.
Want your package, UPS, FedEx or Amazon, even the mail, come to us.

FedEx being targeted in a certain neighborhood. This must have been a continuous pattern and something the JPD could not handle. If Jackson had an effective department this could be nipped in the bud.

How are they going to get their weed shipments from California?

I think domino’s has already done this

A couple of years ago there were four or more assaults on carriers in the Jackson area that were drug related. Not the workers themselves, but shipping stuff through mail. Stamps discussed it at a city council meeting while he was on council. My carrier confirmed it when I asked it it was true.

I haven't read any mention of crimes against FedEx by JPD, nor the lame stream media. Crickets, just like the JPD crime statistics.

I guess they never heard of riding shotgun. Literally.

Relax. It's interpersonal. Chok said so.

The only crimes that reported to the public in that area are police pursuits from Rankin County.

FedEx embargo on the 39204. Welcome to the most radical city on the planet!

... and something the JPD could not handle.

So there are things that JPD can handle?

In any other city, the property value around a university is at a premium. But not in Jokeway’s town.

Can one-note Franklin be far behind hollering 'systemic racism, systemic racism'?

Yeah right Kongfish how many deliveries are they making in the area, why no news reports of alleged incidents, I think is more Bullfish. UPS & USPS will pick up the slack since they have the majority of the shipping business in this zip anyway.

@12:27

And you won’t hear any of these crimes from Jackson’s fine upstanding citizens because all the local media wants to report, and all the local government wants you to hear is how great it is in Jackson.

And on the News tonight all you will hear about FedEx is how racist they are for doing this.

Free the FedEx parcels!

Lumumba had better look real close at Chicago's mayoral election. People are fed up with crime. I hear that there are a couple of promising hopefuls running for mayor. They have not publicly announced yet...and no, not Charlotte Reeves or Les Tannehill. These candidates would blow them out of the water. I don't think it would be hard to get 10,000 votes for a solid candidate, considering that's how many Lumumba took to win.

I grew up in 39204. I walked to elementary school every day. Both of my parents worked and they left the doors unlocked during the day.

I guess you are telling me that things have changed since I was a kid.

Where is the "04?

Is this a guessing game or do you think everyone knows where 39204 is, specifically?

FedEx: "When it absolutely, positively needs to be there overnight."

Disclaimer: This does not apply to Jackson, MS.

Its funny that 'Kaze and all his race baiting pals immediately post "this happens in Rankin and Madison just as much, they just don't report it" when any crime is reported in Jackson.

We all know COJ is the king of under-reporting, but the lie/chant helps the low IQ residents in Jackson sleep at night.

Its just sad that they don't rally together and demand better from their esteemed leaders, instead of making up tales to theoretically drag the suburbs down with them.

It's become apparent to ME that Kingfish is in the tank for Stamps. Notice how he manages to slip in positive comments about Dekeither.

Last week I posted two or three times about Stamps and Learned, MS and none of the posts was allowed. Of course KF will have a screaming hissy and come back with the perfect reason his radar traps anything amusing or negative about his boy Stamps.

39204: Is south Jackson. Generally it is west of I-55 and south of I-20.

50 years ago crime was unheard of in the area.

From the Lumumba administration we hear all about perceptions, political narratives, institutional racism, environmental equity, and historical whatever.

The fact is, FedEx has suspended delivery service to an entire area code of the capital city of one of the 50 states of the United States of America, and it had nothing to do with a weather event or natural disaster. There is no way to minimize that or explain it away.

The bus lines attempt to abandon Jackson.

Pizza joints refuse to deliver to certain apartments in Jackson.

A major, national distribution and delivery company draws a circle around an area where it refuses to deliver.

State government seizes police and judicial jurisdiction in a segment of the city.

Anybody who can afford to has moved out of town.

People who don't live there are scared shitless to drive into the city most days and every night.

The coliseum no longer hosts three to six large concerts every year and now hosts zero.

City government encourages panhandling at major intersections.

Once peaceful streets are now drag-strips and venues for twerking on top of autos.

Titty-bars have closed.

Judges have condemned nasty hotels.

Not a single movie-house in the capital city.

Even the animals in the zoo fear for their lives.

Biblical scholars would point the reader to the last book of the Christian Bible.

I looked from this post on FB and it seems the reporter took deleted it. I wonder who told her to take it down?

Fedex does not stop service to a certain area without cause. Their efforts are for the safety of their employees. The company has had drivers in dangerous unsafe situations. This is fact and to hear those claim that the company is only looking for reasons not to delivery in that area absurd. What I don't understand is why the leaders of the city of Jackson don't do whatever it takes for the safety of the citizens who elected all of them to office!

I guess, Greyhoud, FedEx, white people, police, Deion Sanders, and dihydrogen monoxide have all conspired to take down the self-proclaimed "civil rights icon" and black mayor Chokwe Lumumba. He must be very important to merit a conspiracy of that scale.

Reported on WLBT tonight - FedEx blinked, rolled over and are resuming deliveries. Someone must have raised the race-card, or Jesse/Al put the screws to them.

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.

Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.
