Jackson Jambalaya

Pure CYA excuse-making.

Chief Talkalot at it again.

His business card says 'Have TV Camera, Will Make an Appearance'.

Why are all those lots still empty after so long?

At least he said that would never happen again.

He’s giving lip service to the concept that noise violations exist. Which, as evidenced here, appears to be mostly a white thing. But until the officers are willing to enforce noise violations, Wade needs to give out his cell phone number.

Let's give the guy some credit. He said it would not happen again.

Once July 1st, 2025, gets here., John Horhn you are on the clock! Will you allow these things to continuously happen? Will you enforce noise ordinances on the M-Bar, Club Taste in (Meadowbrook) that's been getting away with this for over 8 years with Chokwe in office. Many Residents in Jackson don't even fear good old fashioned - roadblocks during those late hours anymore because they don't exist either. That culture has already destroyed first Thursday in Fondren. It's a matter of time before it hits Sal & Mookies at the Eastover. What's saving Belhaven is that it's no open green space and no hip hop music playing.

At least he doesn't say "right" after every sentence while bloviating.

Chief wade appeased the Rich JA and country club white home owners. Hotty toddy

When it comes to neighborhood "block parties" and the like, JPD is between a rock and a hard place. People tolerate their neighbors and friends but not the outsiders who they never wanted to "invade" their neighborhoods in the first place. Things can get pretty bad. If there is no shooting or violence it's a win for JPD.

if any of you are following the local young influencers then this party was legendary. it was absolutely lit🔥. If you wasnt there there you missed THE party of 2025.

Ever heard of the broken window theory? It's how little things snowball into big things. People in the burbs gripe and complain about traffic tickets, property ordinance violations, and noise ordinances. but guess what? That's how you keep from turning into 2025 Jackson. The little things turn into big things. While Jackson is too far gone to become what it was in the 1970's or 1980's (the tax base is gone), they could start to enforce some of these things and get some level of civility back. Chokwe all but destroyed the city in his 8 years, so we'll see if Horhn can bring back SOME law and order.

What part of noise ordinance do you not understand? They exist for a reason.

11:01, please tuck that race card back into your wallet. I don’t care if my neighbors are from the Jackson Symphony playing Beethoven, Mozart, and Bach, I will be pissed if they are playing it loudly at 1:30 in the morning. JPD is certainly not between a rock and a hard place; all they had to do was enforce the existing noise ordinance.

I doubt JPD is equipped to scientifically measure or enforce noise restrictions any better than car window tint. Possibly such ordinance does not exist that quantifies parameters of "noise" in a legally enforceable limit. For the safety of Jackson in short term, Search And Frisk; In the long term, Parental Choice in Schools.

@11:16 - No one except immature and insecure children care what young influencers think.

11:16, I’m pretty sure “THE party of 2025” will not be held outdoors on unsold lots in a struggling housing development. And as far as the “legendary” influencers you appear to idolize, to paraphrase Bob Dylan, it will be hard when you discover that they really aren't where it's at.

11:16 said “in case you wasn’t there” how hard is it to speak properly and sound educated or at least not a fool.

12:26, It's called breach of the peace, and there are laws against it that are currently in place.

One question I never heard anyone ask was, "Was the use of that lot authorized by the landowner or was it a pop-up event?"

Don’t forget the rumble at Margaritas. No reports of police awareness of this situation in my neighborhood.

So if someone is white, and live close to where this took place and then move because of it, are they then at fault for the downturn of this Jackson neighborhood for their "white flight"?

Lot is owned by East Flora Management LLC. Sole LLC member per Sec of State is Jerry Bouldin.

What's the over-under of Wade keeping his post when Horhn is sworn in?

We have decided to close the barn door after the horse escapes.

You know those partygoes are sitting back laughing about all that loud music with sonic boom base speakers that made area residents go ballistic.

Delbert hosemann lives a block from this and it’s a very nice neighborhood with tons of renovations and lawyers doctors with kids at JA. Not any flight as my neighbor moved from Madison bc they have 3 sons now at JA and it’s convenient. Most ppl only hear of crime in JACKSON and they associate this with it. Not the case.

3:12 you are either ignorant or a liar. Delbert lives on Heritage Hill, a couple of miles from there. This inexcusable event (in a "normal", civil city) took place across from the post office and beside the library on Old Canton Road, in the "empty for years" lots. In no decent city would this occer. Our city (and particularly 39211 now) has cancer. It is as obvious as the nose on your face, and those dishing out the disease don't care and most think it is funny.

There are plenty of pastures in the rural areas, the only thing you have to worry about are the ticks!

Good thing COJ & UCI fixed that giant crater and moved the excavators off Old Canton before the event. You could have lost two or three vehicles in that thing.

Next one needs to be like the Green Lizard, way out in the country where there were no neighbors to bother, and you could just whiz over the split rail fence into the woods.

Ledumba lives closer than Delbert.

It's clear some of you were never invited to parties as teens or young adults.
Some of you never had teenagers who were invited to parties. Long ago several large parties occurred in my neighborhood. It was no big deal except to the one neighbor no one liked.
Insulate your homes better and/or buy good earplugs. And, be glad you still have young people in your neighborhoods. It means your neighborhood is thriving.
