NBC reported on June 1, “A 12-year-old honor roll student who was fatally shot in Jackson, Mississippi, was remembered by loved ones Wednesday as an empathetic and protective old soul who was always concerned about the safety of others. Adrian Hawkins-McDougles and his 16-year-old brother, Onterrio, were walking to their grandmother’s house last Thursday to get batteries for a video game controller when they were struck by bullets from a drive-by shooting, according to police and the boys’ mother, Kyneshia McDougles.
It is clear to me that the democrats do not want any problems solved. They would rather use their racist attitudes to make everyone else responsible for their own malfeasance. No wonder they have to lie, cheat, and slander to win elections and then stay in power.
True enough - but that is true of far too many Republicans, as well. How many members of the UniParty with an 'R' beside their names suddenly were not supportive of the wall on our southern border, once Trump was sworn in? They wanted the issue, not the solution.
I believe the goal of Socialism is make the people as miserable as possible so they're easier to control. It's usually the middle class that suffers the most having the most to lose. That's why they want our guns. We have a Democratic Socialist Party now, and if you check your history, the rise of the Nazi's will make more sense to you :) Scary times, it's why we need Trump and why the Dems will do anything to get rid of him. Pray for Trump <3
Correct. "There are so many homeless in California so we need to combat that with more money!" Then that money is scooped up by new bureaucrats while the homeless continue to... be homeless.
I have said this before and I will say it now. Democrats and liberals ONLY want you to lie and falsify everything. For them to hear and actually listen to the truth would be to admit they are wrong. May God save The United States.
The murder of that young boy is such a truly heartbreaking and tragic story. Even more tragic is that he’s far from the first innocent victim, and nowhere near the last.
From that NBC article about his murder, whose main focus was, wait for it…guns!, here are two quotes from the boys mother:
“They’re just shooting for no reason, and no one understands why. Then you turn on the news and someone’s dead.”
McDougles said she went to court Tuesday to see the faces of her son’s accused killers. When one of them was told of the charges, she said, he smiled and laughed.
“It really hurt my heart,” McDougles said. “What type of person has no remorse?”
Could it have anything to do with a culture that marinates in rap music which glorifies gangs and guns and “bling”?
The exponential and epidemic rise in murders and gangs in black cities and towns can be directly correlated to the flooding of the airways and iPods of these culture-rotting anthems.
Even though it sounds as if this mother was trying to do the right thing by her sons in moving away from Jackson, there is also the huge problem of no fathers in the homes. What a sad story all around - including for our once great nation.
About thirty years ago Manhattan Kansas had a number of families fleeing Chiraq move to town. Within six months we had our first drive by shooting. Some thugs from Chiraq drove to Kansas to administer a beat down to the family of a rival gang member.
A friend of mine witnessed the shooting, got the tag and called the police. The targets claimed to have no idea why it happened. They also didn't call the police.
As LuAnn noted, no father in the home is a serious problem. GOD designed the family to have a mother and a father.
Jackson is my old home town and my wife’s. Her family’s business was there. Our kids were born there. I used to work there and go into the worst neighborhoods on Wednesday nights to help the homeless. I still have friends living in the city. I don’t know why they stay. Many blacks have also left the city for the suburbs. Some, like the McDougals, have moved far away. So it has not just been white flight.
The water system has always been a disaster, but I never felt unsafe there. Now, I only go there by necessity or if traveling through on the highway. Never at night. A truly broken city. Broken by democrats. Broken by liberals.
If the state government was not centered in Jackson, it would be even worse. A takeover of the city is its only chance for survival. And the expanded police force was going to be the Capital Police, who ensure the safety of the government areas.
So sad to hear that, Mr. Lardmaster. A city that has been destroyed from within by Democrats. They build nothing. They only destroy. This is happening to Democrat-controlled cities.
Last Republican mayor was in 1989. We moved out in 1999. Dwindling Jewish population in the City. The temple is still there, but in a nicer part of town.
My mother was born and raised in Jackson and we visited her family often when I was a kid. My Grandma lived across the street from Battlefield Park where my cousins taught me to play tennis. My uncle took us out to the reservoir to ski and eat at the catfish shack. My mom and my aunts went shopping downtown and let us go off to get ice cream by ourselves. It was clean and safe and everyone you passed said hello and wanted to stop and talk to you.
In the 80s, my cousin moved to Clinton and then made my Grandma move in with her shortly afterwards. Then my uncle sold his house in Belhaven and moved to Brandon. The last relative moved out in 2001. I have a cousin that teaches at the university medical center and commutes from Madison. He’s the only one that goes to Jackson for any reason. I wanted to go by my Grandma’s old house when I visited him a few years ago and he said no way are you going anywhere near there. He was frantic about it and made me promise him I’d stay away.
It’s so sad to see the once beautiful places that fall into ruin every time the Democrats and their useful idiots take over. Everyone who is competent and productive gets fed up and moves away leaving the dregs of society to run the city and its institutions into the ground. Sadly, the city that holds many of my happiest childhood memories is the worst example of this destruction.
You can't solve a problem by ignoring the cause. Every serious effort to understand racial disparities whether by noted black scholars like Thomas Sowell and Walter E Williams or white scholars like Charles Murray and William Shockley or Nicholas Wade are denounced as racist in order to never accept personal responsibility and inconvenient facts.
If you spend any time with my nut job cousin you'd know absolutely no dissenting fact is allowed. The View and MSNBC are the only source of truth. When I said gas prices are high because of Biden shutting down American energy production she told me it was a lie and the right wing was covering for oil and gas companies gouging prices. When I asked why they weren't high in 2020 she said because the oil and gas companies were in Trump's pocket.
I've a retired teacher acquaintance that never thinks about politics, she waits for her union flyer to tell her how to vote and just follows the template. Sadly she has no embarrassment admitting it.
In that stop-the-murders story, AP quoted Democrat Solomon Osborne, who said, “Mississippi has always been first in racism.”
Racism is allowing a whole group of people to self-destruct and kill each other because you don't think they can do any better. I'd add, "or want any better," but that these people keep voting in Democrats suggests that perhaps they don't. But then again, that we all put up with this Uniparty system that serves quite literally no one but the elites shows maybe none of us has room to judge.
My Friend and I aren't exactly white. I'm all three races. We both get darker than Megan Markle mowing the lawn . In my section of town we are infested with college professor types. She was asked by a college student what it was like having white privilege-by a scrawny red head who couldn't see my GF was asian looking, and she replied: '" I wouldn't know I'm Choctaw ." Democrats feed on differences drive a wedge, stay in power. To hell with solving problems. They create problems and chaos .
If politicians or government agencies actually fixed the problems they were asked to, they would be out of a job. Keeping problems going or making them worse brings them job security, It doesn't work that way in the private sector. If you don't get it done there, you're fired.
As a Mississippian, I am used to being considered a racist by non-southerners. I was with a group of Mississippians at a conference many years ago when someone walked up to us and introduced himself. When he heard that we were all from Mississippi, he started telling racial jokes. We told him to fuck off and walked away. Another day in the neighborhood.
The liberal politicians are primarily the only ones here focused on race. You didn’t read about any rioting or violence in Mississippi from the mostly peaceful Antifa rioters.
I regularly read your comments and comment on them. It has never once entered my mind that you could possibly be racist because you are from Mississippi. You are most certainly not. It's the liberals who are focused on race.
Most every day people judge people by their actions, not by the colour of their skin. It's the race grifters and Democrats who are dividing people. I have to say that MLK's dream about judging people by the content of their character is dying.
Our favorite reality shows lately are Cops, Jail and On Patrol Live. You don't see color at all, just idiots who make bad decisions, under the influence or have mental problems. You also realize they don't pay our LEOs enough. The AP should start watching these shows and start getting behind our heroes in blue. Our local print and broadcast media smothers us daily shootings and gets a little too jiggy when it's a cop on black shooting, next thing you know Al Sharpton and the NAACP's in town shaking their fists at the camera and demanding justice (which translates to a George Floyd pay day settlement with the city). Not many people know the NAACP lawyers get over 30% for their trouble.
We definitely have a media problem. I remember several years ago after leaving the Dem Party I checked out a few conservative sites for help with my "transpolitical" mental health. Several of these sites banned links to any AP stories. I soon understood why during OH-BOMB-AH's arrival as The Messiah. Jim Jones would have been proud.
Read anything and everything by Jack Cashill about Obama, especially his book Deconstructing Obama. I believe American Thinker has the archives of his articles. Good stuff.
When you read the words of Mr SIngleton you see how both the Black and White population has been destroyed by the decline in education. Our country is moving to the third world.
It is clear to me that the democrats do not want any problems solved. They would rather use their racist attitudes to make everyone else responsible for their own malfeasance. No wonder they have to lie, cheat, and slander to win elections and then stay in power.

Correct. The UniParty is corrupt and never supports what voters actually want.
I believe the goal of Socialism is make the people as miserable as possible so they're easier to control. It's usually the middle class that suffers the most having the most to lose. That's why they want our guns. We have a Democratic Socialist Party now, and if you check your history, the rise of the Nazi's will make more sense to you :) Scary times, it's why we need Trump and why the Dems will do anything to get rid of him.

I do. Pray for our nation too.
Correct. "There are so many homeless in California so we need to combat that with more money!" Then that money is scooped up by new bureaucrats while the homeless continue to... be homeless.
Yes, 100% correct about the Ds. I don't know how the cheating gets stopped.
I have said this before and I will say it now. Democrats and liberals ONLY want you to lie and falsify everything. For them to hear and actually listen to the truth would be to admit they are wrong. May God save The United States.

But it’s only about the guns.
Right.
Let the killings continue apace.

Yes, see my reply above.
The black community needs to get its two-parent family structure back in place.
The whole country does!
So sad to read this.

How many Republican mayors has Jackson had over the years? I am assuming the Jewish population has been reduced also.
Last Republican mayor was in 1989. We moved out in 1999. Dwindling Jewish population in the City. The temple is still there, but in a nicer part of town.

Yes, because if you solve the problem the gravy train stops. Personal responsibility does not and should not include grifting.
THIS^^^
That is truly The most damning fact of all!
It’s been so long since I have listened to any Democrat seriously. The party at large has lost its moral compass as they plot for power.
But yet voters keep voting for the Ds. I don't know how you explain that.
I think 2020 established that it wasn't humans casting those votes.
Yes, machines helped secure the victory.
If you spend any time with my nut job cousin you'd know absolutely no dissenting fact is allowed. The View and MSNBC are the only source of truth. When I said gas prices are high because of Biden shutting down American energy production she told me it was a lie and the right wing was covering for oil and gas companies gouging prices.

They're sheeple.
Unfortunately that is also true about republicans once they get to Washington.
In that stop-the-murders story, AP quoted Democrat Solomon Osborne, who said, “Mississippi has always been first in racism.”

We too often expect govt to fix things, when we should fix them ourselves and tell the govt to go away.
"But white people did not kill 100 or more black people in Jackson, Mississippi, in each of the last three years. Black people did."
80% of crimes done to Americans of African descent are committed by Americans of African descent. I mean white republicans.
Accepting this as fact:
"The story also said, 'About 83% of Jackson residents are black — the largest percentage of black residents of any major U.S. city.'"
...and that this is true:
"'Mississippi has always been first in racism.'"
The only logical conclusion is that blacks (those in Jackson, Mississippi, anyway) are racist.
"How do you know Democrats are losing an argument? When they cry racism."
Spot-on, Don!

Don...
if they blamed 'Black Republicans' that guy would be really pissed...
When they say black republicans they mean Justice Thomas, Ben Carson, or Thomas Sewell. Tell them there might be more and you get called a liar.
Where does Washington DC rank. It's only our nation's capitol, but why should that matter???
More crime happens in Washington DC than any other place in the nation, but we're not talking about Congress right now.
