Have it Your Way, Jacktown Style

Meanwhile on Meadowbrook Road and North State Street.....

 


I drove by two Burger Kings yesterday.  Could've been me

This is simply target practice as most of their firearms are stolen or illegally modified, so it would be risky for them to go to a public range.

Reason number xxx why I do not go to Jackistan - ever.

But thanks, as all of these reports raise the value of my Madison the City home value.

Come on. Haven't we all thought about this, when the food machine broke 6 months in a row? When they close at 1055, just as you roll up? Or when they give you mustard when you specifically asked for no mustard? Just kidding. It's bad form.

They need to equip their drive through folks like the clowns at Burger World.

"Drive up to the clown. It's a Burger World town."

Could have bought 5? burgers for cost of juvenile shots, not including hundreds in cost to merchant for sign repair.

Punks driving in Jackson itching to shoot. Stokes maybe needs to sponsor a target range in West Jackson. Or regulated duels.

We gonna just have to let them have it. Jackson residents and officials for the most part like it the way it is and what it is becoming. That’s why they elected those judges, mayor etc… that’s why they don’t like Capitol police and judges. Life is just that way, sometimes you have to pick up and leave. As tough as it is, sometimes you have to just say see you. Get ready for the Capitol to move as well. It’s coming.

Seal team 6 needs to visit Jackson for about a week, or two and this kind of shit wouldn't be so much fun anymore.

How dare KF post negative (read: Truthful) headlines besmirching Jackson!
This is click bait and he should be ashamed!

Is that the same BK where an employee was selling drugs out of the drive thru? I distinctly remember that being the case for the one on Highway 80. Can't remember if it was this one also.

Total waste of $2.60. One well placed shot should have taken care of a sign that they used 10 shots to kill.

The truth is that the hoods were aiming at the security camera. However, when they held their Hipoints sideways with a limp wrist, they hit the broadside of the menu displays instead of the intended target. They also used their stabilizing hand to grip their groin as the noise and recoil have them euphoric thrills. The weapon also may or may not have been cleaned and lubed.

12:28 PM It's SEAL, not Seal (marine mammal), and SEAL Team Six hasn't existed for at least 15 years. It became DevGru and now something else.

Totally agree with 12:38. Enough is a enough. They have completely destroyed most of Jackson. Ridgeland is next.

If the camera in the background was working, and if the Capitol Police have jurisdiction, and a competent judge is in charge, and the jail works as designed, perhaps justice will prevail and a miracle will have occurred in Jackson.

When will people learn? The people living in Jackson are not complaining. Most of those who complain do not live in Jackson. People have been moving out of Jackson for years. Businesses have been moving out of Jackson for years. It has not gotten any better in Jackson. Why do people still think there is going to be a change in Jackson? People, it is time for you to smarten up. If you do not like Jackson the way it is get the hell out of Jackson. Let those who like the way Jackson is have it. Stop supporting Jackson and the people who like the way Jackson is being run. Let them make it on their own.

Such things are going to continue and worsen. The state government will not move, though, not ever, so you can get that out of your skulls right now. Instead what they will do is outlay more and more money for more and more security and protection for them, the bureaucrats and legislators, while the rest of Jackson can go suck canal water as best they can with the service and protection of JPD.

"SEAL Team Six" remains the unit's widely recognized moniker. Today, ST6 is known as the United States Naval Special Warfare Development Group, or DEVGRU, a U.S. Navy component of Joint Special Operations Command.

Layers stop bullets.
LCD displays are layers of tempered glass, mesh, liquid crystal, LED backlights, and then a Chinese pot metal spine.
Consider an LCD display an expensive bulletproof shield.
Mythbusters proved that a Bible in the pocket or phone book stuffed in your door/walls is a better bullet shield though.

It's hard to imagine that, and a capital city in the Continental United States, people can fire handguns at fast food restaurant menu screens with absolute impunity. This sort of thing even appears to be routine. When I tell people here (not Mississippi) about Jackson, and the homicides, and the gunfire, and the kids routinely riding four wheelers and dirt bikes through traffic, and the street racing, and the fact of virtually nobody having any type of insurance, they look at me in disbelief. They literally do not believe it to be true. But it is true.

Lifelong MS til 2 years ago..moved to northern AR….State Farm insurance rates went down considerably…when I inquired as to why the agent stated that MS has the most uninsured motorists in the country. Just FYI..

the absolute worst drive thru experiences in my life have been at a Burger King. There's no telling what the story is. Did any check the parking lot for return fire? Broken auto Glass? Nobody working there knows anything about it do they? Ohhh nooo! the drive thru broke y'all, ohhh well.. first the ice cream machine

Why does the Highway Patrol allow the uninsured motorists?

Anonymous said...

A empty nest friend who still lives in Jackson said he can’t move because he’d lose too much on his house. He can’t understand that amount he’s lost as of today is the baseline — not whatever he paid way back when. Find a freshly-minted, starry-eyed UMC grad to pay something — anything — for the place, and get out before you lose another $50k in property value.

There is a camera on the rooftop to the top right, and probably another over the service door. They've got them on video. Hopefully, they can get them off the streets before they shoot something other than a static object.

2:01 & 3:57 PM -- It is NOT the state government's burden to "fix" the City, and their hands are tied to some extent by law. That's what HB 1020 is about. But, of course, it's racist because the people who broke the system, and can't figure out how to repair the system, must remain in control.

Probably someone got angry because they couldn't understand the garbled "language" spoken by the person over the intercom. Speech therapy recommended for those people who take the food orders as many of us customers do not speak Ebonics.

Because most of the insurance violators are close-cousins of some highway-controlman.

Is the camera tied in to the real time crime center in Jackson?

@8:03am - Sunk cost fallacy is going to get your friend killed. Though it appears he doesn’t seem smart enough to understand the concept since he’s still in Jackson.

Years ago when my family moved out of Jackson and later when my husband moved his practice out of Jackson, we got tongue lashings from some Jackson residents. Since then some of those who criticized us have quietly moved out, but have been crickets in apologies to us. I get no pleasure in being right about our decisions. I hate what is happening. I do a lot of business in Jackson and worship in Jackson. I do not know how much longer I will feel safe doing so. This makes me sad, especially for those who are left who feel they have no choice but to stay because of the cost to move. It is not good for any of us.

While some of you seem determined to be insulting, the large majority of Jackson residents are still law abiding, God fearing and decent citizens.

We do NOT condone crime or vandalism any more than we condone crass insults from you or anyone else.

What exactly would you have us do that is realistic (unlike getting in the SEALS).

Get the Jackson budget and salary scale and you prioritize expenditures so we can hire more law enforcement to police crime areas (not the State government properties only).

Be sure to have potholes and clean water and ways to get the authority to tear down deteriorated properties and hold the owners accountable.

You tell me how we are going to keep people like Melvin Priester in office or get anyone who is bright and honorable to run when just because you don't like that person's skin color or gender or religion or social status or political affliation, they will be verbally attacked, lied about, ridiculed or threatened and even their families will suffer the consequences.

You have run off every single one of my children's brilliant peer group that left here to earn their success and came back to contribute. You didn't like that they either went to private school or an elite national university.

You'd rather elect Bubba whose only success came from inheriting Daddy and his only successful planning ever was to the kegs to a party or catch/throw/kick some balls.

Every one of you that prefers the prevailing "talk" and " emotions" and believe what you want to believe rather than getting confirmable facts/evidence from unbiased sources makes you an obstacle!

Do tell us how exactly, you'd get rid of the gangs or guns away from teenage vandals and crooks.And do have a plan that gives law enforcement the funds to hire and train enough warm bodies that are competent and provide them the resources and authority...especially since you don't want to pay taxes! Tell me how you'd change the flow of money from the feds to get it where it's most needed instead of a nicer road getting to Neshoba once a year! Tell me how to put "guardrails" on the flow of tax money in this State so corruption and diverting funds isn't so damn easy.

None of you ever take the dare...all I hear is name calling and blaming without anything to back it up or realistic suggestion to "fix it".

Put up or shut up! There's more than a little money in the State treasury that's gone unspent or been corruptly misspent but you deflect to Jackson as if you are shocked that our politicians didn't learn from YOURS for decades on how to "feather their own nests". You were silent when YOUR good ole boys got rich in office when they never ever made money on their own. You are deliberately blind to how their life styles and earnings don't match their income and there's not even a source like a rich wife or inheritance to be found. Do you demand laws that require them to report income from "gifts" of goods or services or in "payment" of a speech? "Everybody does it" is the excuse for YOUR guys and gals.

Start there! Start with LAWS that will make political graft illegal!

well said 10.31 so true anyone who remembers Jackson in better days just hurts to see this. But this is not Normal or right no matter what baby chok says

Kingfish said...

BS. It was the blacks who tommed Priester and smeared him when he ran for Mayor. Smear is a polite word. He tried to point out the city couldn't afford a golf course no one used but was crucified for telling the truth.

You want some changes in Jackson, oh wise one? Quit electing so called community activists (actually loud mouths who can't get a job) and broke dicks who think they are entitled to a government paycheck.

Two things:
first, believe it or not you want more uninsured motorists. The man that stated his insurance when down was either mis-imformed or is making it up. I have been in the insurance claims business for almost 30 years. When MS made insurance mandatory your rates went up. Allow me to explain. When I started in the business less than 50% (44% to be exact) of cars on the road in MS had insurance. The odds that two uninsured people struck each other were were high. There were no claims paid on those and the only people who suffered were the uninsured. People who do not carry insurance are usually of the low intelligence and irresponsible kind. When you force them to get insurance, Something they look at like wasted money, they make tons of claims over and over. "If i'm paying insurance i'm making every claim" The make claims for all kind of silly stuff and they vandalize their own cars for new paint jobs and tires and lots of other things you would not believe. Since insurance is simply spreading the losses around to a large group you are paying for the "stolen" 5k worth of rims and tires that they sold their buddy for $500. You are paying for their paint jobs and their "damaged" engines from unknown objects hitting the oil pan or radiator. You would rather leave them uninsured, pay for uninsured motorist and be responsible for yourself. When they hit an insured motorist they will be billed slowly but surely by the insurance company. Trust me, subrogation will get their money if it takes 20 years. They don't get away with not paying.
Secondly,
The only way to put Jackon back on the right path is good leadership and that ain't gonna happen.

Right on, KF. I often wonder what Jackson would look like today if Jonathan Lee had become mayor. Never forget the smear campaign against him by a few black activists because he was too conservative.

Anonymous said...

@ 11:20 “Allow me to explain” …same vehicles I had in MS were insured in AR with the same carrier; I wrote a check for the premium for less, as I do every 6 months! But let’s continue…” You would rather leave them uninsured, pay for uninsured motorist and be responsible for yourself. ” (your words)…If one state has more uninsured motorists than the next, which state do you think will charge a higher premium for the “uninsured motorist” endorsement? Neither uniformed or need to “make anything up.”
You go ahead and have a nice day!

Anonymous said...

@ 12:54. I have almost 30 years in the claims business. I was working for the underwriting department when the law started in MS. three years in a row we went to the DOI and requested an received permission to take rate. Your insurance went up all of those years. One thing changed we added a bunch of new policies we would have never written before. Why would we do that? Because the state requires to you to take a certain number. The larger the carrier (State Farm) the more they have to take. The smaller carriers take less but its an equal percentage. We had no choice but to take these fools who bled all they could from the companies. every time we raised there rates they made more claims. You would not believe how they can profit from this. We call them insurance farmers. They were forced to get insurance they did not want. We were forced to take them and they bled the company for every dime the put in and then some. It raised your rates. paying uninsured motorist claims is far less expensive.
Now, I have the experience that is more than I moved and my rates went down. There could be any number of things that made your rates go down including the fact your rates had gone up in MS in the prior years due to the above mentioned issue. another being the minimum limits in AR are half of what they are in MS.

Anonymous said...

@4:55 I carry more than minimum limits…I do carry the same limits in AR as I did in MS
You failed to answer the question I posed to you! Don’t hate the playa…hate the game.

Anonymous said...

@ 8:50 But most others don't carry more than the minimum limits therefore the carrier has less exposure so everyone's premiums are less. Since the exposures are less the company pays out less. Please understand I know what I am talking about. Premiums for everyone are tied together that's why your insurance goes up sometimes without an accident or a ticket. the way CA keeps their premiums lower is by having 5K limits on PD and BI. That's ridiculous in 2023 when a minor fender bender will exceed 5K. Its all smoke an mirrors. You are insuring yourself in CA.

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.
