Jackson Jambalaya

Photo and lead in don't really help. Was this vandalism, weather or what? No date and time stamp on this photo.

The mayor did this on one of his rages of anger

Weather, my ass.

Surely there was a security camera somewhere that caught this on video.

Just a few more unexplained barricades on Congress. The next block south in front of City Hall has been blocked off for more than a year for no apparent reason.

Are those marijuana plants?

Rage over 1020 or the garbage contract? Or maybe just bad behavior from the vagrants who plague downtown.

8:20, you are either mentally challenged or a poor comedian.

9:02- Correct..only explantations is the narcissistic mayor !!!

Hizzoner's "real time crime center" is "on it."

Vagrants do this kind of thing daily in downtown Jackson. The city refuses to do anything about them. Vagrants bust out windows, catch buildings on fire, even steal police cars with no consequences.

I think 8:20 pm pushed those planter boxes over.

If those were the 96 gallons carts, it would be almost impossible to turn them over.

Not excusing vandalism, but civic urban landscape needs to be secure and a dull earth-tone: white is obnoxious for street-scaping.

In fact, city should outlaw white take-out food bags and cups because brown trash is less nasty than white trash laying in streets and ditches.

@ 8:44 - and if there was a security camera that caught it, what difference does that make? What's the point?

Reason #___ why I moved my business out of downtown Jackson.

I hope you reported it rather then let the plants continue to struggle.
Someone could just stop their car and pick them back up and pack the dirt back in.
This happen to two huge plants on my patio in a storm. So, weather can do strange things but however it happened, it's still a "nice thing" that can be kept "nice" with very little effort.
Or people can wait for the plants to die so you'll have something to complain about.
Bitch or do...everyone's choice.

Sure there are security cameras in the area. For some reason I think the same thing will happen as did with the cameras that caught the people hanging the nooses around down town. We still haven't heard about who did that. Even after all of the yelling about racist people. Anyone know what happened?

Not a lot of non-bitchers left in that area. The do-ers fled when they got tired of the abuse.

Use the catch & release criminals for community improvements & make it. Part of sentencing like 200 hrs of community service for less serious crimes adding more for greater or felony charges!

Downtown Jackson? who goes there anymore?

10:19 It was 2 hours after KF posted this that your post wanted someone to care? You could've jumped in your EV and run down to check on the little "puppies" to make sure they were okay.

Chowke's statement: No! The wind blew them over, thus creating a perception of malicious mischief. Right?

My friends and I were downtown for a concert last night when we noticed it. We did pick them up although three were broken. Pretty sure the wind did not do it. Someone also did a hatchet job on some trees around the governor's mansion. Those were beyond our ability to help.

"Someone also did a hatchet job on some trees around the governor's mansion."

Photos or it didn't happen. Your post is bullshit. The mansion and grounds have 24-hour on site protection and surveillance plus Capitol Police protection.

George Washington would not even get by with chopping a tree in that area.

Now, whatta you have to say for yourself, young man, after making that story up? Find a Catholic church and confess.

3:45 - My name is Jane. In what language is that considered a young man's name? I have a photo of the trees but there is no way for me to post them on this site. You can see it on my FB page - Jane Tucker. Hope that satisfies you.

3:45 you have some serious problems. Get some help.
Unlike yourself, many people attend church and work downtown. We all saw the trees around the mansion fence wall that had been struck down as well as pots dumped over and / or broken all down Congress Street.

@3:45. Security footage shows the same vagrant destroying the newly planted tress and the planters. Hopefully they will find him. Thank you Jane for picking up the planters.

It was myself, Chris Fitzpatrick, and David Null. We were at St Andrews watching Shawn Williams perform in the courtyard. Great crowd, great performance. Fortunately it ended at 7 before too many of the loud racers took over the streets drowning out any other sound.

Your post is bullshit.

Jane's rep towers over that puddle of yours on the ground.
