There's a whole crew that'll swing by on a golf cart, fix it and move on to the next one.
It's a pity that what would happen to the miscreants, in China or North Korea, can't happen to them, here. What they'd get in Singapore, is too good for them.
There are people on the streets who want everything around them to be as screwed up as their own lives. Something nice pisses them off. Really.
The plants seem to be missing in the second picture. If that's the case, the culprit took them home to momma and she thanked them for their thoughtfulness.
Homeless population that Lumumba cares more about than actual citizens.
I totally agree with 8:11!
These folks hate nice things and nice people! They want the world to conform to their way which is not nice pretty attractive and most importantly peaceful
Kingfish didn't like my post about the perp taking the plants out of the pot and takin' 'em home to momma. That's exactly what happened and everybody knows it.
Jackson have nice things????!!!
Jackson has become the Detroit of the south
It's the same mentality as littering. Mississippi has the worst litter problem of anywhere I've traveled in the US, and I've been to most of the states. Commenters are correct that some people hate that others have nice things.
Or maybe I was watching 1883 last night and didn't look at comments until this morning. Sorry I don't sit at my computer all night waiting for you to submit comments.
Perhaps replant the container and install a Bouncing Betty underneath…
Fake news. The two photos were taken at different locations.
I'm with 7:39 the more I look at it. I don't see how any angle from the first pic could match the second one. However the fact still remains that no, we can't have nice things in Jackson strictly due to the demographics of youth and poverty. But Dem politicians will still claim it's the fault of racism somehow.
Agree with you 7:39
Let's all be honest, this is clearly the result of Carter Jewelers' annual Plant-Tipping Sale. 75% off the lowest marked price and if you get a diamond pendant you can go outside and knock over a plant!
Could it have been mistaken for a cow? - "cow tipping"
Of course it would probably be a different picture/location. No one knew 'that' particular planter would be vandalized so they took a pic of another one, of which there must be quite a few planted the same in the area, to show what it must've looked like before.
@7:17 AM, you do make a point: there is a segment of our population for whom the world is their garbage can. The nearest trash receptacle is at their very feet or their car window.
Not trying to be harsh but worrying about Jackson ever having nice things is way down my list. That boat sailed years ago.
9:15am
Accurate reconstruction of photos sequence, good thinking.
8:19 - Pretty sure he posted the first one to show what the planters look like as a general reference - some of y'all nitpick the stupidest shit.
Actually that boat sank.
There are some brain dead people commenting here. The first picture may or may not have been in the same location; it was just showing what the pot looked like, as a reference, before being turned over. That in no way changes the fact that the second photo was of a pot turned over. The good news is those astute observations now qualify y’all to be New York Times reporters.
Came here to say what 9:15 said.
They clearly took a pic of one of the non-vandalized plants as an example of the before.
Maybe 7:39 is a troll though?
Its hard to tell if people are really dumb or just looking for a battle.
Sometimes they are dumb and looking for a battle.
@8:42 😂. “ due to a flood of potting soil on the ground we will be remodeling. It’ll cost us more to deal with our jewelry so instead you can have them 99% off. Kick over a plant to reveal a Hershey kiss with an extra discount”
This is Mis’sippi and it ain’t turned over it’s Tumped over
Memphood has that honor...jacktown is becoming memphood
It's a different location and having had a storm tip a large pot that size at my house, removing and tending to the plant is step one. Or a couple of folks tipped it. The point is assuming the worst is a symptom of what's wrong in this country. And, forgetting that we don't know WHO did it or if it was accidental was the common reaction when America great because " airing the " dirty laundry" of one's family, neighborhood, city or state was considered to be not only crass but self-destructive.
Ah yes, the perception of crime defense.
I am admittedly on the cynical side that will assume this plant was tipped over largely based on actual videos of that same vandalism happening downtown.
I will also assume that 8:10 believes that protests are mostly peaceful and Hunter Biden does not know what cocaine smells like.
