Jackson Jambalaya

Shut it down

Is anyone surprised? Jackson is not a safe place to be, especially after dark. I feel for the legit businesses operating in that area.

Well, that was only a matter of time. That place should've been declared a public nuisance a long time ago. Thanks, Ted Orkin.

Not good timing for the reopening of The Mayflower!

The city wants to close down a gas station but this dive is OK? Gotcha.

That is the"diverse" shithole bar the town clown Kamikazi was so hipped up and defensive about when the downtown people fussed about it. You know, the one the murdered thug founded. Had his funeral wake in the parking lot of one of his titty bars. Teally. No surprise here.

Meanwhile, the 5 injured & sent to the Hospital will have the taxpayers pay for all the recovry bills.

Frelons, O ‘ Bar, Daiquiri Bar, local convenience stores, the list goes on and on. Closing any of these only means that the next shooting will occur somewhere else. These shootings are a result of cultural issues that are baked in the community that frequents these establishments. I don’t pretend to know what it will take to change that culture but until that change happens unfortunately these things will continue to happen.

This business is hated by downtown partners and is a public nuisance. Restaurants and hotels have voiced concerns to city council and mayor only to be called racist

M(urder) Bar 2.0

You are exactly right.

Taxpayer paid medical bills will approach $1,000,000.

Downtown was a nice place to live until the city allowed these nasty clubs to open. The downtown district went to hell because of it.

My grandmother told me 65 years ago when I thought I was a badass that nothing good ever happened after midnight. Seems like her advice is just as good now as it was then.

Ted Orkin has been asked numerous times to close that place down, but the rent he receives must be more important to him than the well being of downtown.

When will we see people out in front demanding the place close?

How many illegal and stolen guns recovered in that ghetto bar? Cap Police should search everyone at crime scenes. So funny NorthSide Sun Editor (editorial a month ago) wants the State to transform Downtown Jackson, with our taxes, into an Austin- Nashville equal. Only Lumumba or Kamala Harris could come up with a wilder, more wastrel wet dream.

Remember when people protested against this bar opening and were called racists for doing so? lol

I’ll wager, there will be a stabbing or shooting at Last Call Bar before long.

I live downtown for the rest of my lease. 3 months. You are exactly right. DT has gone to shit. Good luck to the Mayflower.

Ted Orkin is a selfish, white trash Rankin County redneck.

Don't forget the many times people were attacked here for stating the obvious that Jackson is violent! Remember that was negative I believe was said! 🙈🙉🙊

So all these JSU students have just moved into those fancy lofts just up the street. Do the parents know the kids are just a brief walk away from the next shoot out? Does JSU know how dangerous downtown has become?

And when will Hissoner Tha Mayah being holding a press conference concerning the shooting and increased violence in Jackson??? Oh? Right…. He promotes it instead of trying to stop it….

WRT the shootings at particular gas stations (or any other nuisance spot) I stopped at a 7-Eleven in downtown Dallas recently. In one of the parking spaces was a small trailer (like as big as a one jet ski trailer). It carried solar panels, batteries, etc, that powered three PTZ cameras on a tall mast wirelessly connected to the Dallas police. I’ve a pic.

Have no fear, the real time crime center is on the case. It’ll be solved in no time by its crime fighting prowess…

So sad for the loss of life. I am praying that the rest of the victims make a full and complete recovery.

Also, the grammar on the social media posts... so sad..

Easy solution: cancel their liquor license.

A week ago Jackson leaders blamed convenience stores, saying the burden was on them to provide security and curtail crime. Where are those same voices regarding this little establishment?

Can any of the 200 folks in attendance or any of the surviving shooting victims tell Capitol Police who did the shooting?

It's the County's Attorney job to seek closing.

Yes this is the COJ at fault for allowing Owners to operate like this and should be held liable somewhat if they are pushing convenience stores!

Best advice Big Momma gave us back then. I lived by those advice today

I agree with you

Ted Orrin might shut it down if the injured parties sue him for failure to have proper security…

Highway to the Danger Zone!

How about requiring the establishment to install metal detectors, and maybe close at midnight? Without retail and entertainment in the city, the riff-raff will come out to the suburbs (remember Walk-On's in Ridgeland).

At the Federal Building right across the street from this establishment, all entrants are required to walk through a metal detector before enter. This club needs to set up the same thing. Make it secure.

7:44 If reading any of this makes you sad don't read. You have that right.

Ted is not from Rankin, how dare you besmirch the good people of Rankin that way. You dolt!

I hope the Governor closes that public nuisance down for good.

4:16 and 5:47 Downtown has not "went" to hell or "gone" to shit. Chock is involved in this club and 4th Avenue Lounge and ordered JPD under previous Chief Davis not to police! These clubs brought the thugs and Capitol Police, new Chief Wade and Sheriff Jones have cleaned it up. This shooting incident was inside this "daiquiri" / strip club. It needs to be shut down permanently. 4th had more of a level of class, but it needs better operation and security.

Please, oh dense one. The owner of that establishment does not dare insult or distance customers from the place.

If he were to install such a screening device, he would have zero customers, and for that matter, zero employees.
