All defiant and grinning in his mugshot. I don't think he realizes that JPD ain't primary on this one, Capitol Police is and he's about to get dealt with quite differently than I believe he thinks he's going to.
if only our local courts would be this hard and uphold the law, serving actual justice when these youth smile and act as if they did nothing wrong. Exhibit A: https://www.al.com/crime/2025/07/angry-judge-gives-woman-maximum-sentence-in-fatal-dui-over-fake-apology-jail-calls-about-getting-high.html
He's smiling because he knows he's going to walk.
It’s obvious he doesn’t realize the seriousness of the matter. The problem is his judge probably won’t realize the seriousness of it either.
No worries, he will likely not live past 35. Live a thug life, die a thug death.
All that hard work by law enforcement just to get a blessing from a Hinds County judge.
@10:05. It doesn't matter. You can have the best case in the world, but a deficient judicial system (Hinds County) will negate it every time.
Arrests and prison time are signs of achievement in the Thug Life. And remember how many like him have been blessed by the Hinds County court systems. He has every reason to believe he'll be able to plead, get three squares a day courtesy of the taxpayers, and be back out on the street Glock switching (another badge of honor for his ilk) in no time.
Hey 10:09 This is why Hattiesburg, Jackson Greenville, Yazoo City etc etc all need curfews to try to stifle the punk ass youth shootings..
10:14 - He ain't walking anywhere. This isn't a Hinds County case. This is Capitol Police and a different court.
@12:30. Wrong. A lot of people are obviously misinformed about the new CCID court. Thanks to the Democrats in the legislature, it was reduced to a misdemeanor court. The higher court that was part of HB 1020 was deemed racist. Felonies still go through Hinds County.
A parent here- I saw yesterday where a woman was arrested for hitting her kid with a wiffle ball bat… now I’m not proud of it but I did that too once upon a time as a spur of the moment discipline measure after my kid torn up something that I had worked hard to pay for. That kid is a College engineering graduate, no student loan debt,
And makes more money than me today. Now I’m not proud of the few licks on the bottom side where I used a wiffle ball bat. I was spanked with worse at home and at school, but I was spanked. Hank Williams Jr called it an attitude adjustment. Speaking of which corporal punishment and shock treatments might get their attention.
Incorrect @12:30. The CCID has a separate court of initial appearance with regards to felony cases. The case will be tried in the Circuit Court of Hinds County First Judicial District like all the rest in Jackson.
All curfews do is move the shootings to the daytime.
I’m pretty certain that’s not his mugshot.
Parents should be held accountable
This specific shooting is the reason I will NEVER again drive through Jackson, MS. Lived there 7 yrs, spent nearly another 30 in the delta, traveling to Jax at least once a month. Now a resident of NE Arkansas. But, my route to the gulf coast no longer involves I-55 thru Jax. Memories of St Patty's Day (and other downtown events) there were sweet, but not worth even driving on the lawless streets. Visiting some of the fave shopping spots or neighborhoods? No thank you. Other parts of MS are relatively safe and things like this senseless shooting just pollute & ruin the good memories. Wonder how many other thousands have departed and not even bothered to 'kiss it goodbye.' Elections have consequences.
