2 shot and killed at St Paddy’s Day parade in Jackson. This wasn’t gang violence either. One of the alleged victims was a young mechanical engineer from MSU.

Just unbelievable, the world we are living in.

Shooter was a white male resident of Rankin County who was parked sitting in his car with his girlfriend prior to the parade. Allegedly the redneck and girlfriend got into an altercation. The victim came over to help the girlfriend. Redneck shot him and a female innocent bystander.

Not incredibly difficult to find them on Facebook either. Just nuts. You can’t be too careful out there. You can’t even help anybody else.

I guess you missed the part about the shooter being a 'neck from Rankin County.

Jackson can't be defended, but acting like this incident was a symptom of Jackson's issues is kinda disingenuous.

Sad Loss of Life. Can't imagine what the surviving friends and family are going thru right about now. Can't chalk this one up due to Jacktown's Leadership though. Just a Neck Neckin'. Wonder how he feels now that he's sober and in jail knowing he's gonna be there for a Looooooong time.

I tried to break up a domestic dispute one time. I'll never do that again.

Wife and husband arguing in a parking lot. Wife throws first punch to husbands head. He started beating her ***. She's down on the pavement and I pull the guy off of her. She hops up and punches me in the head. She is cussing me and telling me to mind my own Fing business.

I told her husband to get back to kicking her *** if that's what yall want to do.

Correct. White Knighting can get you in trouble QUICK. And the court system in this country is complicit, that’s why so many seemingly normal men lose their minds. The breakdown of the nuclear family and the fallout is some real sh*t. It’s our biggest problem.

I have not been to an event in the City of Jackson in 10 years, and don’t plan to attend one. Nothing will ever change with Jackson and we need to stop expecting it to. Put your energy into the other great cities and towns in Mississippi that are thriving.

That POS already trying to keep himself alive before he even gets to Parchman.
They’ll get wind of that video if not shown the video to the right folks at Parchman.
It won’t be pretty then.

Super duper dem man flies in to save the day!
Half a dozen others already pushed back on Trojan's weak attempt to blame the violence in Jackson's known safety issue.
I didn't fly in to save anything - I just piled on.

Jackson has many clearly documented issues. This incident is not more evidence of those issues.
Feel free to actually comment on the topic and show why Trojan's comment is accurate.

Yeah, this just happens in Democrat majority cities...moronic comment, it's happening everywhere blamer. Gun laws need to be changed. Background checks should be a no brainer, but we know how some feel about that.

we all know criminals will certainly follow gun laws. criminals don't buy guns over the counter. they either steal them or get them on the street. 90% of the time, the former

Look at the gun violence in democratic tan cities compared to the rest of the us and get back to me. Look at gun related deaths in Jackson, New Orleans, Chicago, Portland, Atlanta, houston. Those cities are much stricter on gun laws than most of their surrounding rural areas That rarely have any kind of gun violence. Why do you think that is?

OK, I'm getting back to you with someone who has looked at murder rates: https://www.thirdway.org/report/the-two-decade-red-state-murder-problem

For those that don't want to read the whole article, here are the main points. Emphasis mine.

Takeaways​

  • The murder rate in the 25 states that voted for Donald Trump has exceeded the murder rate in the 25 states that voted for Joe Biden in every year from 2000 to 2020.
  • Over this 21-year span, this Red State murder gap has steadily widened from a low of 9% more per capita red state murders in 2003 and 2004 to 44% more per capita red state murders in 2019, before settling back to 43% in 2020.
  • Altogether, the per capita Red State murder rate was 23% higher than the Blue State murder rate when all 21 years were combined.
  • If Blue State murder rates were as high as Red State murder rates, Biden-voting states would have suffered over 45,000 more murders between 2000 and 2020.
  • Even when murders in the largest cities in red states are removed, overall murder rates in Trump-voting states were 12% higher than Biden-voting states across this 21-year period and were higher in 18 of the 21 years observed.

And, in the interest of full disclosure, this site identifies as being center-left but they outline their research method in the story:

In this study, we collected homicide data from 2000 through 2020 for all 50 states from the Center of Disease Control Wonder’s National Center for Health Statistics Mortality Data. Data is based on death certificates collected by state registries and provided to the National Vital Statistics System. We chose CDC data over FBI data because it’s more up to date and does not rely on voluntary reporting from counties and states. All states are required to report mortality data to the CDC; they’re only encouraged to report crime data to the FBI. The United States Department of Justice has acknowledged that CDC data is more accurate.

I also want to touch on the point someone made yesterday that claims Australia cracking down on guns didn't work. That's demonstrably false. Whoever came up with that talking point is either egregiously wrong or outright lying.

Since the 1996 Port Arthur massacre, after which Australia implemented tougher gun laws and a nationwide gun buy-back program, there have only been 12 mass killings (defined as having four or more victims) in the entire country. Of those 12, only four involved guns of any kind. Three of those four were domestic situations where someone only killed members of their own family. And in one of those three, the perpetrator killed his family with a knife and only used a gun to commit suicide. The other eight incidents involve either stabbings, arson, blunt instruments or automobiles.

So, since 1996, there has only been one incident in Australia where someone committed a mass shooting against strangers that resulted in four or more victims. I'll round that up to two since there was another incident at a university in 2002 where a student shot and killed two other students and wounded several others, though there's evidence that the perpetrator in that incident targeted at least one of the victims.

This is defeatist and a slippery slope to arguing we don't need laws at all simply bc people break them. Of course people break laws. And with guns in the USA it's uniquely difficult to regulate any gun-related law bc we already have at least 1 gun per person in this country. We are proper 17ed basically. But insinuating we shouldn't try to regulate certain aspects is dangerously lazy and/or stupid. Surely there is a way to respect views on 2A while also making society a little less susceptible to gun violence?

Come on guys used in Australia as an example. Silly Australia is nothing like United States.

I only use hunting guns. I don't care anything for pistols or assault so weapons. They should put tougher restrictions on pistols and assault rifles because there's nothing but tools for people who are shooting enthusiast and home protection nuts. Nothing will protect your home like a 12 gauge loaded with buckshot. It's just my opinion you can have yours too OK?

The problem is every time you give the Left an inch they take a mile. They would ban all the guns. Don't believe me, just let this sort of legislative work get started and watch what happens. The Left doesn't bargain.

To get accurate data, research and drill down by county in those "red states". The most dangerous counties voted Biden.

for example the most muders in Mississippi per capita are Coahoma, Washington and hinds. All voted Biden.

In Alabama the most murders per capita are Macon and Dallas and both went for Biden.

missouri: St. Louis county/ Biden

Arkansas: Phillips/Biden.

The original post said compare cities to the rest of the US. I found a study that did that. A study that showed that even when you gave red states a boost by removing the murder rates in their largest cities, still showed that red states have a higher murder rate than blue states.

Again, here's the relevant quote:
  • Even when murders in the largest cities in red states are removed, overall murder rates in Trump-voting states were 12% higher than Biden-voting states across this 21-year period and were higher in 18 of the 21 years observed.
But now you're saying we should cherry pick some counties instead? Ok. We can do that. If you search for safest counties in Mississippi, the very first things that comes up says the five safest are:

1. Choctaw (Trump)
2. Marshall (Biden)
3. Clay (Biden)
4. Lamar (Trump)
5. Sunflower (Biden)

The five least safe are allegedly:
1. Marion (Trump)
2. Panola (Trump)
3. Washington (Biden)
4. Jackson (Trump)
5. Scott (Trump)

But I look forward to you moving the goalposts again.
