Jackson Jambalaya

Looking back should have put my building up for sale the next day and got the heck out of Jackson

1:16, we all should have left before this event happened.

Even pre-woke 27-years ago the lame stream media was calling it an "assault rifle."

Dang dude, most of knew Jxn was headed off a cliff long before that.

I remember that incident very well.

This happened within days of the mass shooting at the Jackson Fire Department Headquarters ... when the disgruntled fireman Kenneth Tornes killed four JFD officers. Seems Tornes was upset about being "written-up" for various policy infractions.

I'm not sure, but I seem to recall that he may have killed his wife before he went on his shooting spree
at the JFD HQ.

1:16 and 1:24, you both know this wasn’t the reason for the downfall of Jackson. There was an area just West (Wingfield Place and Whispering Pines ) that had many outstanding people residing in them. To the East was Alta Woods. Did you forget that many good people came from South Jackson or are you so damn closed minded that only NE Jackson and Madison had good people? Take notice that I said good people and not money because I had many many friends from that area who are great people and never look down to this day on others because we never forgot who we were and where we came from. Yes, there is now way to bring Jackson back. Someone dug a hole, poured gas in it, struck a match to it THEN through a grenade in it to finish it off. But for you to say this was THE event that caused your decision to move is not fair. Why don’t you say the idiot who shot up the JFD Main HQ was? Why don’t you say that former sheriff of Simpson Lloyd Jones and a former judge of Hinds County who Shot up the Dorm at JSU in 1970 was the event? Why don’t you say the sniper in 1976 who shot and killed a person on highway 80 at a bar from across the road from the top of a water slide at a water park was your decision? Why not say a bank robber in the early 80’s who took hostages at a bank at the metro center was your decision? My exact dates may not be exactly right but I’m pretty damn close. This event was not the first and it was terrible but…you really know why we need to leave now…and it’s because of Marxism.

Amazing to think that there were any people to shoot in that area. My how quickly things change. I think there was a Sams Club there when this happened.

I think this is about the time Mark Jordan put up the “Get out while the gettings good” billboard.

Now, THAT'S radical, I don't care who you are.

Jackson desperately needs Sheriff Lloyd Jones to come back from the grave to help it. If anybody(and there may not be anybody) could help, he could.

4:18 - you can bring back anyone you want from the grave, and it won't help the Jackson situation one bit. We have been witnessing a total collapse in a culture and no thing or no body is going to make a difference. The situation is out of control and getting worse. AND, we all know who to blame.

Fast forward…met a couple from Phoenix this weekend trout fishing in OK. She sales software for municipalities in the Southeast.
She said Jackson was known for not paying their bills and lots of companies bypass it because of the turmoil. Still a proud Mississippian but…damn!

Was this before or after the KLLM driver, holed up in a seedy motel along 80, opened rifle-fire on I-20 traffic through the motel bathroom window?

Like today, musta been somethin' in the water.

PS: @ 3:37 - Double your meds before bed tonite. And break out that enema kit and a gallon of prunes too.

Po Folks had the best chicken livers. I remember it but not well, as in a lot of the details.

"Why don’t you say the idiot who shot up the JFD Main HQ was?"

Calm down a bit 3:37.

I suggest you take a deep breath,and re-read the comments again.
3:19 did name the JFD shooter.


Moreover, I think many of a certain age know there were a lot great people (and some very wealthy)folks in South Jackson back then.
Especially in Whispering Pines.

Whispering Pines'annual Neighborhood Christmas displays (back in the 70's & 80's) were iconic. Those displays will always be remembered as the some of the best in a once great city.

5:53 and 6:55…touché ….I’m allergic to prunes and i don’t do enemas. My meds are bourbon and bourbon. I do remember the shooter that was “holed up” in that whore house on 80 in no man’s land. The shooter at the old highway 80 water slide lives on Mason Blvd and had a 10’ wooden fence around his place. He got caught. A bad spot in the history of south Jackson. It’s been 30 years since I’ve been to whispering pines because it’s, well..I’ll keep that comment to myself.

Sam's Club was on Raymond Road behind Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart & Sack and Save anchored Ellis Isle. IHOP, Po' Folks & Pizza Hut faced Ellis Avenue. The only business still there is the old Exxon at the corner of Raymond & Ellis.

Po Folks all you can eat blue ribbon fried chicken on Sunday. One of the many good things to be had in Jackson that ain't there no more.

Belvedere Dr looks like a 3rd world country…scary!

@ 3:37pm

Dang, son... you have a good memory...

What was the motive?

I proposed to my wife at Po Folk's.
She left me 8 years later.
Said I wasn't a classy guy.

3:37 Are you going to be ok? Like are you stable enough to be on here?

8:33 "Po Folks all you can eat blue ribbon fried chicken on Sunday. One of the many good things to be had in Jackson that ain't there no more." Had to have been lard (I made the comment about the chicken livers).

@9:10 PM

If you read the newspaper article the motive should be clear. He was an incel. He never had any visitors except the UPS delivery driver. Sound familiar? Same MO as every white male mass shooter today. He was an low-value, involuntary celebrate white male.

The solution to stopping these shootings is for everyone to get laid, and often. Win/win.

8:53 AM
You're the Real Man of Genius here. It's the best mental therapy there is .

People getting laid often is not the solution. It's actually part of the problem.

Damn, where have the years gone? Remember this as if it was yesterday.

The motive was discovered in a racist screed the shooter left behind. He was trying to kill as many blacks as possible to start a race war.
