Because of the commissionIf they moved from Iowa I would assume they had involvement with a realtor. I don’t see how a local realtor could direct them to such a neighborhood in good conscience.

You think this problem begins and ends in Jackson, or MS?I'm not insinuating it, scooter: We clearly see both of them right here in this thread.
One group carjacks and many times worse than that. The other group says mean things about the carjackers.You see the original crime and then you read some of these posts, and you see real quick why Mississippi has a massive brain drain problem.
People with options want to be around neither bunch.
We have some individuals doing a carjacking here - I'm curious what "One group carjacks and many times worse than that" means? Why do you need to extrapolate it out? Who composes this group?One group carjacks and many times worse than that. The other group says mean things about the carjackers.
One is worse than the other.
Jayne Avenue. Over by the zooMoving to west jackson is a bad idea. I'm curious as to exactly where that is. That said, there are white people in Virdin Addition now. That's probably the most notorious place in North Jackson I wouldn't want to be but apparently the gentrification crew just keep coming down Mayes Street thinking it's Fondren.
I'll likely get judged for this but one of the younger kids in the car appeared to be mixed so maybe there is a AA husband or boyfriend that is now head of household that led this crew to think they could live anywhere. The issue in several neighborhoods in jackson is if you are white, you're perceived as food. Even if you're a white well versed in street smarts and can handle yourself, that won't stop some of these hardheads from trying. Stay dangerous friends
Oh, FFS spare us the semantics the word isWhen a person takes the bad actions of a small number of individuals and makes that represent a broad group, there is in fact a word for that.
Your words were “neither bunch”. I’m talking about those same two bunches that you were.We have some individuals doing a carjacking here - I'm curious what "One group carjacks and many times worse than that" means? Why do you need to extrapolate it out? Who composes this group?
Say whatever you want to say about these carjackers - they get what they get. Just right here, we've had posters use these carjackers to represent "BLM" and "Biden voters". When a person takes the bad actions of a small number of individuals and makes that represent a broad group, there is in fact a word for that.
In a funny use of a Mississippian's meme...You see the original crime and then you read some of these posts, and you see real quick why Mississippi has a massive brain drain problem.

Would YOU move to that neighborhood?I'm not insinuating it, scooter: We clearly see both of them right here in this thread.
ETA: not sure why you had to throw fat in there as a pejorative, that's a SPS hatecrime by itself
You think this problem begins and ends in Jackson, or MS?
Perhaps you’re right. I can’t think of any other place where there’s significant racial and/or socioeconomic separatism
Manhattan/Bronx
Gary/Chicago
Germantown/Memphis
Watts/Hollywood
Bessemer/Hoover
Berkeley/Oakland
South Africa
Gaza
Eggbowl-Red Side/Maroon Side
I agree. I'm not placing blame. I'm replying to those who judge an entire state for the actions of those who choose evil, and those who have the choice to either distance themselves from or defend against it.Sure, it's always someone else's fault. Evil and low moral people have existed since man first climbed out of the primordial oceans. But, there are many people of all races who work hard for the good life only to be threatened with crime by evil and immoral people who prefer the dark side. Unfortunately, as morality deceases in society and populations increase the likelihood of being a victim in certain demographic areas are expanding significantly as shown by your list above.
End Rant.
I work not very far from Virden Addition. I ride right through there if I want to go to the Popeye’s or Taco Bell on Northside. I wouldn’t want to live there, but I can’t say I feel like it’s the Wild West. Moderately safe. But like you said, you have to be smart. Have a little situational awareness.Moving to west jackson is a bad idea. I'm curious as to exactly where that is. That said, there are white people in Virdin Addition now.

If you're going to that Popeye's or Taco Bell after dark, you're really taking your chances.I work not very far from Virden Addition.

If forced to choose one or the other, though, who you choosing? Criminal or commenter? A or B?You see the original crime and then you read some of these posts, and you see real quick why Mississippi has a massive brain drain problem.

Make no mistake I’m working about 7:30- 4:30. I’m not down there after dark.If you're going to that Popeye's or Taco Bell after dark, you're really taking your chances.
Hopefully Thomas Tuggle will live up to his campaign promises. I voted for him.Moved to Desoto County over 2 years ago. There were hundreds of us fleeing Shelby County all bidding on the same homes, it was insanity. Neighborhoods around here cannot be built fast enough.

Just a goofy question since the comment you respond to clearly states it is referring to people with options.If forced to choose one or the other, though, who you choosing? Criminal or commenter? A or B?
a surprise to no oneIf forced to be in a closed room with a pedophile or a serial killer, I'll choose the pedi
Of course it isn't a surprise, since it's the decision every adult should make in that absurd hypothetical.a surprise to no one
My wife and her family are not liberal like me, but are from the coast while I'm from Jackson. I constantly have to argue to avoid situations like that, because they just do not get the danger, even though they constantly talk about crime from watching Fox News. Just last week I had to endure a long fight because my wife wanted to take the kids to a park in downtown Montgomery. We would have been those people. Some people just assume bad things won't happen to them.People are really bad at risk assessment, particularly for tail risks. The vast majority of Jackson residents, even in West Jackson, survive every year. People that don't understand asymmetrical returns look at that fact and think people are overreacting to crime and are driven by fear.
You see it a lot more in fringe neighborhoods than the most dangerous neighborhoods, but you see it everywhere it's dangerous.
Where is @ronpolk... we need the dramatic police over here, stat.**Just a goofy question since the comment you respond to clearly states it is referring to people with options.
Why even ask who he views as worse if forced to choose? That doesn't change his point that people with options don't want to be around either group.
If forced to be in a closed room with a pedophile or a serial killer, I'll choose the pedi since I will be safe...but that doesn't change the reality that people with options want to be around neither the pedo or the killer.
If I may summarize your take … Gun wielding carjacker is to internet article commenter as “serial killer” is to “pedophile.” Why am I not surprised.Why even ask who he views as worse if forced to choose? That doesn't change his point that people with options don't want to be around either group.

Yup, if you're dumb enough to vote democrat, you're certainly dumb enough to buy a home in the wrong part of town.Sounds like a couple of sheltered, naive, young liberals who (used to) believe in the inherent goodness of humanity.
We appreciate it too. Now Desoto County is turning into a hellscape.Moved to Desoto County over 2 years ago. There were hundreds of us fleeing Shelby County all bidding on the same homes, it was insanity. Neighborhoods around here cannot be built fast enough.
No, people with options want to be able to avoid getting carjacked in their own driveway. And there is definitely perception vs reality over how elites from other places see life in MS and how life in MS really is.You see the original crime and then you read some of these posts, and you see real quick why Mississippi has a massive brain drain problem.
People with options want to be around neither bunch.
I mean, do you want the actual metrics, or do you want MuH RAcisST TRoPE??!! Because either way, you're gonna get the same answer.We have some individuals doing a carjacking here - I'm curious what "One group carjacks and many times worse than that" means? Why do you need to extrapolate it out? Who composes this group?
Yeah. I'm not sure who you're referring to but I hope my post doesn't come off that way.SMH at blaming the victims...
You are welcome........ I guess?We appreciate it too. Now Desoto County is turning into a hellscape.
If I may summarize your take … Gun wielding carjacker is to internet article commenter as “serial killer” is to “pedophile.” Why am I not surprised.
How is that analogy not what you said?
Thats right about the SPS average for a summary.
You called that analogy a summary. And the summary is incorrect because I did not equate internet article commentators to pedophiles.How is that analogy not what you said?
