Jackson Jambalaya

Good way to meet a U.S. Marshall if they try that stunt in a federal courtroom (i.e., the only place that matters right now)

Lumumba and his ilk are cornered animals now. Get ready for more of this garbage.

That is so on brand for them to disrupt a community meeting in a church by hooting and hollering nonsense.

I can't get the dang video to play!

Wish I could see video, it won't play for me. Would love to know what Stokes said.

Anyone else remember Adofo Minka yelling at the mother of the girl murdered on Foritification. Yeah. On brand indeed. At least he fucked back off to Minnesota.

Narcissism and Marxism are a terrible combination.

They supppose to mad, their non profit pimp been indicted . Where will they get money from now.

David Archie is a menace

Good on Kenneth for calling these people out. We need more like him.

Yep won’t happen in a Federal courthouse

Archie should run for Mayor. Seriously.

is this what the navy calls mutiny?

That poor white lady. Explaining like a kindergarten teacher how their new world works to a roomful of low-information voters. Jackson, and Mississippi, and the US, and the West, all are lost.

Seems like the ones that are the loudest are the guiltiest. I hope this embarrassment to the city is quickly dealt with and Jackson can be the great capital city it once was.

Kenneth Stokes told Danyelle she is a 2 time convicted felon and she said hollered out no 3 time felon.

Haha! OMG! You just can't make this sh!t up!

Agitators - right out of the Marxist playbook. Right?

I parked downtown for a meeting with a Hinds County supervisor. Meter wouldn't accept a chip card. A forty-five minute meeting cost me $24 and change. Zero stars. Do not recommend.

The Lumumba malcontents never came to listen about the damn parking meters in the first place.

Agitators - right out of the National Socialist Party playbook.

What a shit show. Listening to that ranting hyena gave me a headache.

Why not have a meeting showing people how to use the meters?

Holy smoke, that poor parking meter tech support Lady should talk to Richard Schwartz about a PTSD case against her own employer. Whoever put her alone in that situation needs to be in deep shit. Otherwise, don't look for the Parking Meter Association of The World to book a conference at the future Bank of Owens and Lumumba Convention Center and Hotel.

My respect for Councilman Stokes increases by the hour.

Historically known as "Agit-Prop", agitated propaganda or agitate & propagandize?

Still say…Stokes for MAYOR!! ONLY one who gives a shit about people in Jackson!

Every person in Jackson should own one of these.

David forgot his gavel

stokes knows how to run west jackson just like papa doc duvalier knew how to run haiti.

Stokes has a point, and I had never thought about it. He brought up elderly or anyone on a cane, etc., made me think of my mother. She doesn't have chip card, walking to another meter wont work. Just hadn't thought about it. You're perfectly able and still got screwed.

Stokes was laughing! He is having too much fun knowing they are going down. Just as guilty of that as the rest of us.

The parking meters/kiosks are a disaster. The signage sucks and if you decide to pay by scanning the QR code, it is not at all user friendly. And you can’t park for longer than two hours. The already declining downtown lunch crowd is about to be extinct. Blame the meters!

Who would have thought Kenny would mature into a serious community leader and voice of reason?

How many city palms got greased for these meters?

I never really took the time to understand Stokes and brushed him off as a blow hard. Lately I’ve been paying attention to him and now I get where he’s coming from. I now actually believe I’d vote for him as Mayor. I’ve lived here my entire 64 years and as a downtown business owner I now truly believe he has the city’s best interest. I’m a white ass republican and I can’t believe I just admitted this.

Stokes for Mayor !!!!!!!! If I lived in Jackson I would campaign for him and drum up votes! Or He can move to Madison county and try to unseat the Griffins and I'd still get out and campaign for him!

This new Afrika thing has taken a while to build a small militia of agitators, but they’re now walking amongst us. What are they scared of? Probably other people’s dogs and water. Who’s up for attending some of the poor people’s meetings and giving them a dose of their own medicine?

I agree

Folks Jackson is in SERIOUS decline. It’s time to have a serious discussion about moving the capital out of Jackson

This right here is how mettings oughta get did, right. Order in the room! Order in the room! Take hold of that TV station mic and give it to the pretty girl. Errybody talkin and groupin up in convos while somebody at the podium have the floor to begin with. Order in da room please! Stokes be laughin. Wearin no socks and his big old STOKES cap. Archie be clownin - what else a clown gone do but clown?

Yep, dis here how a meet and greek out to be did. Order! Order Please! I'll have a Bick Mack, plead. No combo jest the samwich.

Why should people have to pay to park downtown anyway? Didn’t the taxpayers pay for those streets? Just another money grab.

Several people have mention the Republic of New Afrika several times and it has come up on a local podcast that the discussion lately has been that Chock sr was the person who shot the FBI agent and killed Officer Skinner in 1970. The person who went to jail was not the actual gunman. That I can believe because this cult had their sights on Jackson for a long time. It’s all adding up if you can look back on the events that shaped its existence and why Bennie Thompson does not want to have anything to do with Lumumba jr. He wants to distance himself from that crime. Now, when will everyone finally quit calling that cult leader by 3 names? We used to refer to our mayors as Mayor Davis, Mayor Danks and Mayor Ditto. I’m glad to see the FBI cleaning house and I’m hoping that somehow someway the EPA can file charges on Lumumba for the 4.5 billion gallons of raw sewage that has been dumped into the Pearl River that has contaminated all drinking water sources in many towns in Mississippi and Louisiana along with the fishing industry being damaged. Folks, this is real and needs to be addressed very soon. I’m hoping that somehow someone who has the power to bring forth an investigation into that matter will do so.

David Archie knew who was stealing money and taking payoffs while he was supervisor. Don’t discount him. He is honest.

When the technology of a parking meter requires me to use a credit or debit card or an app on my phone, count me out. However, from listening to the parking meter Rep Lady, it sounds like one could still use a dime or a solid quarter to feed the meter. So from that standpoint I really don't see the issue of removing them, unless the whole point of the upgrade in technology was to make it difficult in order to collect a much more lucrative fee from the fines. But then again we're dealing with people that don't pay a water bill.

Now, if you want to keep Rukia's constituents busy, a couple tubes of JB weld and a roll of solid quarters randomly glued to the sidewalks of downtown Jackson, preferably near the parking meters would keep them busy and give them some exercise therapy.

IIRC federal law mandates that money shall be accepted for payment.

Stokes has been a blowhard in the past. But he’s also been a grassroots politician from day one. He’s actually fixed problems for his constituents when nobody else would help. Like Chokwe Sr. did. I’m as white as the background of this page and yeah, I would vote for him.

Once I read the details of the contract Rukia "received" - wink wink to her brother - to have 4-5 parties at the airport (if I remember correctly) for about $100,000 to entertain elected officials and other politicals was being expedited, I was DONE. Sold my home in Jackson where I lived 55+ years. She was paid to "organize" functions that might get her brother some favor and make huge bank for doing little. She wasn't catering/working at these - she was just "organizing". Heck, I'll organize 50 events for a fraction of what she was paid. She is a flaming lunatic and may be worse than CL. She runs "nonprofits" that she def. profits from. It's so sad that the people that think these 2 are on their side don't know they are being robbed blind. Hoping all the graft and corruption is exposed and ends. Jackson residents deserve so much more than these grifters.

They should have had the loudmouth agitator arrested for assault, at then end.

Has the maya stopped doing Monday press conferences
