The only thing I know about Jackson, MS is that the Mayor basically reads from the Communist Manifesto.
I'd be curious to see a source on this one. Looks a hare dubious.
With their newly elected mayor, they will eventually find their way back on the list.
Are you saying Lightfoot will have kept dangerous crime at a lower level than Johnson? Everything Ive read by those who lose their crap but dont live there is Lightfoot is the Devil in the flesh and it couldnt get any worse than her.

I don't want to start a huge political thread, but your last sentence caught me off guard. Most crimes across the board have been dropping for nearly 25 years, with a recent increase since COVID. This includes most "violent" crimes. Crime is much less of a way of life than it was in the 60's and 70's. There are several easy to find charts that show this, but I'm too lazy/inept to link one.
I'm surprised this event doesn't have some sort of twerking contest to go with it. Most of the flyers I've seen lately for events in Jackson have that as an added bonus.
The perception is much, much, much bigger than the actual criminal acts.
There is always worse.

Not the least bit surprising though. With the d*** measuring contests between the council and mayor….the city has been left to run rough shod however it sees fit.
I'd love to know who's paying for the free food and drinks.
I have spoken with someone in our local law enforcement multiple times that tells me how frustrating it is to arrest the same people over and over and over. They are back on the street before they can finish filling out the paperwork. Recently there was a local shooting where someone was killed. The person that did the shooting had already been arrested over 100 times. The criminals have no fear of law enforcement. A person was arrested recently on drug possession and distribution charges not far from where I live. I was told that they had arrested this person approximately 75 times. Is it because the jails are full? Whatever happened to 3 strikes and your out? I say just take them to the train station if you know what I mean. Enough is enough.
If putting more people behind bars is the solution, we'd have the lowest crime rate on earth.
So I am guessing that these other countries get tired of putting up with arresting them over and over and just move on to a more permanent and less expensive solution….If putting more people behind bars is the solution, we'd have the lowest crime rate on earth.

Violent crime rates in the US are the lowest they've been in decades.

In 2022, the violent crime rate in the United States was 369.8 cases per 100,000 of the population.
Its funny. Prison population corresponds almost directly with crime rates.If putting more people behind bars is the solution, we'd have the lowest crime rate on earth.

I bet the vendor asked for the money up front.
I don't have to "twist" anything, facts are facts.
That’s not a fact. Crime is still rare, even in high crime areas.
