Jackson Jambalaya

Get out now- while you CAN!

Clothes with bullet holes are becoming trendy.

Shooting in Jackson???? I thought Jackson was on of the safest cities in America

I hate to say this but sooner or later the state will have no choice but to take over Jackson.

Great advertisement for the safety of shopping on County Line Road for the holiday season. Or anywhere after dark these days.

The victim was shot in the chest and was still able to run from Burlington Coat Factory all the way to KFC?? That is not a short distance.

Jackson is becoming so unsafe. Such a shame.

It was only a 30 yard dash to Ridgeland.

It’s the Crime Stupid.

It was the Crime Stupid when white liberal Democrat Kane “Perception of Crime” Ditto was mayor of Jackson. It was the Crime Stupid when white liberal Democrat propagandists posing as journalists from Atlanta and Jackson deflected blame for Jackson’s problems from the Democrats that destroyed it. And it was the Crime Stupid when the white liberal Democrat Barksdalers held their leftist fundraiser on October 30th with “none other than Anna Wolfe (to) lead the effort.”

Let’s make sure history accurately reflects what Malcom X warned us of many decades ago, that “that white person that you see calling himself a liberal (today its progressive Democrat) is the most dangerous thing in the entire Western Hemisphere. He’s the most deceitful.”

And let’s make absolutely certain history accurately reflects that these “white liberal Democrats” were so, so much more concerned with power, money and winning, than they were of the innocent lives destroyed by their leftist tactics of crime and chaos…..and that they didn’t even care about the innocent children dying from stray bullets (all while some post pics of their beautiful sunsets, while those poor innocent children with no choice live in terror).

Round all the known criminals up and send them far far away!

The only thing worth going to on county line anymore is Ollie's.

This was a FACEBOOK MARKETPLACE robbery. Please people, if you are going to meet someone through Facebook do it at a police station.

I also wonder what time this occurred. I live in Jackson and do so happily and safely. I just returned from another state's capital city that every one of you would consider safe. It has a comparatively small minority population...around 12%. There were several shootings reported on the news there every day. Y'all would be surprised to know the shooters were white...every single one including the " cowboy like shoot out". It is also a GOP stronghold. We might do better fighting/preventing crime if we bothered to learn about what factors contribute to violence and criminality in every society.

This is closer to Ridgeland than many (most?) of us in Jackson.

These thugs know which side of the line gives blessings and which side does not.

Burlington closing and moving to Madison in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...

Will the last business owner on the south side of County Line Road please turn out the lights. I didn't mention "water" because it may already be off.

Obfuscate/ignore the crime while blaming racism, while using the tired "this happens everywhere" makes power and land grabs in these cities much easier.
Its really sad for the minorities that cannot flee, but hey...white progressives to the rescue...am I right 9:07?

You working for the mayor lately or just the Barksdale clan?

5:55, I hope that you one day discover a hobby that gets your mind off the boogeyman white liberals to whom you direct so much hate. Otherwise, damn, you sure do need some therapy.

I hope there are some important details missing from the early report.

First, a Burlington Coat Factory? Unless they are selling drugs, sex, or both, or have a casino in the storeroom, neither the store nor its usual customers seem like prime armed robbery targets, at least for those willing to shoot it out over the spoils to be had at such a target. Then, the number of shots - whether 8 or 10 or 6 or even more than 1-2 - this ain't Noo Yawk City, it's metro Jackghanistan, Missi-friggin-sippi. You start blasting away in a shopping center parking lot and there's a fair chance you'll take incoming fire. Most folks know that and you can bet your ass would-be robbers know it.

Then, however many shots fired, and with someone shot in the chest and cars shot up, the shootee runs to...a fast-food joint some distance away. OK, panicked people do panicky things, but there may be some important details missing from the story thus far.

Stay off of Facebook marketplace. I can't believe it hasn't been shut down by now. 90% are either a Venmo scam or worse, something like this.

So name the city. BTW, doubt it rivals Jxn's murder rate per 1000. Plus why is another city's anecdotal "shootings every night" relevant to Jxn's crime gangs and utterly corrupt governance? Racemongering demands one to find a straw man situation to equate white and black murder rates. FBI stats, albeit incomplete, already show Blacks, 13% of national population, committing 51% of murders, usually of other Blacks.

What do you have to support the validity of your post? It is so vague that it seems false.

I just returned from another state's capital city ...

You are anonymous. Surely you can name the state or city.

Do not shop on County Line Rd. Follow me for more How Not To Get Shot tips.

What capital city did you visit? I guarantee Jackson’s murder rate is four times higher than this, probably fictional, “capital city”.

Exactly

There is definately a perception of crime on County Line Road. Right?

@5:55 AM: It was Harvey Johnson, former mayor, a black liberal Democrat who came up with the slogan “perception of crime”.

Love how you call it NE Jackson. You mean 100 ft from Madison County?

@9:29, We don’t want it. Nor did we want the TJ Maxx, Old Navy and Aldi that will move in next to Costco. TJ Maxx and Old Navy are leaving County Line for this very reason. I’m sorry but we don’t like the crowd those stores attract, similar to the Marshall’s at Grandview. Too many Hinds county tags.

Just take a look at the abandoned Fortunes building.
It has been an eye sore for years, but now it has become
a new abode for the homeless. Amazing what is allowed to go on
In plain view of all who travel this main thoroughfare.

I thought some details were missing. The armed robbery was, as a couple of folks above and WLBT, etc., report, a result of a FB arranged sale. There is nothing reported about it having anything to do with a particular business at any particular location. The robber would presumably attempt the robbery at any location where he or she felt reasonably confident of a successful robbery and getaway and the victim would agree to meet, but that could include a lot of places all over the region.

10:56 who is "WE"? Aren't you the snotty, elitist one?!? I love and welcome these stores. Can't wait for Aldi.

They could have just arranged to meet a hundred yards to the west, at Krystal. Who knows...they might have become friends over a cup of coffee and a chicken samwich hold the mustard. You really f*cked up if you shoot somebody in the chest.
