So I'm sitting in the middle lane of North State Street (Northbound) stopped at the UMC crosswalk Saturday. Stopped in the right lane next to me was a minivan with a vanity plate that said "VOTEDEM."
Tired of waiting for the red light to turn green, VOTEDEM figured he was above the rules and drove right through the red light. VOTEDEM probably should have looked in his rear-view mirror because he would have seen the Capitol Police vehicle right behind him if he had done so. He got about 10 yards before the blue lights flashed and Capitol Police pulled over VOTEDEM.
Good job, Capitol Police, good job.

That happened...
That guy lives in my neighborhood(Belhaven) he always drives like a D****E. Love this
Dems are above the law. Right?
@10:31 AM
I absolutely believe it. My mother was up from Hattiesburg and we were on West County Line in front of Tougaloo stopped a a red light. Two cars were in front of us. A hoopty and someone from a county north of Madison. Yazoo or Holmes. Well as soon as the light turns green and the car hasn't had time to react (less than 2 seconds) the hoopty guns it and passes them on the right emergency lane. Then has the audacity to slam on brakes and turn right into the shitty apartments before you get to Highland Colony.
Imagine life without DEMS
…and everybody clapped!
Obvious case of unjustified targeting
I still encounter people who insist that redlight running is NOT a problem in Jackson.
2 years back, I had the need to be towed due to a mechanical problem from Clinton to State Street. We had to leave I20 due to an accident, and in the 4 miles or so detour, I watched 3 denizens of Jacktown run red lights, including right in front of a JPD cruiser. Who ignored it. Three separate intersections on Hwy 80.
And, I'm not talking entering the intersection just after it turned red. I mean completely blowing the light with cross traffic. VOTEDEM must have been stunned that rules apply to them. Yet they live for a cash out from an "accident" and they carry no insurance themselves. I wonder which legal specialty is the biggest Dem donor group?
They thought they were (D) ifferent, and laws didn’t didn’t apply to them.
Chowke voter.
cool story.
On a slow news day, KF seizes the opportunity to reexamine the Pavlovian Response Theory.
This guy is also running for city council 🫠
On a slow work day the trolls poke their heads out of their basements.
STELLAR journalism here. As always.
His campaign bio states he led a Title 1 public school instead of simply naming the school he was at. What teacher, coach, administrator , etc. says they work at a Title 1 school instead of saying the name of the school?
Dude was at a charter school. Probably would get a swirly if he was at Wingfield. Guess he needs to drop that Title 1 stuff for his Yankee friends up north without actually being at a normal Title 1 public school where the last thing they think about is whatever the heck Title 1 is exactly.
Well that's the first I've heard of someone in Jackson, Madison or Rankin county getting pulled over for running a red light or stop sign.
It seems to be normal to roll thru any red light or stop sign. It's been tolerated for so long people expect to get away with it
I see the Peanut Gallery is awake.
That’s so sweet. KF, grow the fuck up.
Gotta love all the people commenting negatively on this true story, just because it doesn't mesh with their ideology. "No one is above the law," right dems?
Basic policing. It's something that JPD quit doing years ago. No fault of their own really...they just became understaffed, overwhelmed, and have had poor leadership. The lack of basic policing leads to what you now see in Jackson. Good for CPD for doing what needs to be done in their district.
I rolled through a stop sign in the Hanging Moss area one night in 1969. Cost me $50.00, I think. Neither the cop nor judge had any sympathy for a kid going home from Work at a burger joint at 11:00 pm. I learned my lesson and am thankful for that $$$ expensive lesson in "do the crime, do the time" that has kept me out of Parchman Prison across all of the years since. I am certain the nation has been saved the pain of dealing with a serial killer due to the action of Officer Cummins and Judge Chambers.
Apparently, as long as you are one of the first three vehicles through a light on County Line Road after it turns red, everything is hunky-dory. However, I’m seeing more and more vehicles treating a red light as a four-way stop; briefly stop, then head about your way. We are headed towards Mad Max.
A few years back I had to use Woodrow Wilson extensively for my commute. Once past the Medical Mall, if you stopped for red lights you were likely going to cause an accident. Running lights was necessary for survival.
Local comic, Rita Brent, posted a warning today for people to pause at green lights due to the high rate of people running red lights. And she was not trying to be funny!
"Of Course I Saw That Stop Sign Officer...Didn'T You See Me Slow Down?"
I surmise the vast majority of the motorists in newer vehicles that never seem to come to a complete stop at a stop sign is due to the annoying automatic engine stop then start of their "green" vehicle that is saving the planet.
