Not particularly related, but Brandon MS is the only town I’ve had a anti-Jewish event occur in a small town. (Big cities always have weirdos.)
I was training US pilots in Columbus, MS and decided to tour MS (in particular, I hiked the Natchez Trace and saw the battlefields at Vicksburg.)
Long story short, this lady (a Mrs. Jones who turned out to be a 4th grade schoolteacher) started screaming at me in the supermarket at the top of her lungs saying I was resposible for killing Jesus and doomed to Hell.
Came out of the blue at me.
I was like, “I just want to buy some tuna fish and bread, leave me alone.”
Anyway, she kept screaming at me, saying all sorts of horrid things, to the point the police came because she knocked over my shopping cart.
Apparently, she had some sort of dementia (she was older) and had an event.
They took her away, still screaming.
I went South of Brandon in rural Rankin county a few years ago to look at pickup. The deeper in the woods I went the more Mobile Homes, Rebel flags and pit bulls I saw. I asked the guy if there were many blacks around there. He spit his wad of Red Man out and said “Naw too many” Probably goes the same for Jews.
