Shameful. LOL!
Or the police dept....
Jackson , Mississippi is no different than Mogadishu, Somalia. It is a cancer on Mississippi. It is filled with feral animals that prey on mankind. On the rare occasion that I go there, I am armed to the teeth and traveling with others armed similarly.
As of the census of 2010, there were 173,514 people, and 62,400 households. The population density was 1,562.5 people per square mile. There were 74,537 housing units. The racial makeup of the city was 79.4% Black or African American, 18.4% White or Euro American, 0.1% Native American, 0.4% Asian, and 0.9% from two or more races. 1.6% of the population were Hispanic or Latino of any race. Non-Hispanic Whites were 18% of the population in 2010, down from 60% in 1970.
There were 267,841 households out of which 39.4% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 35.4% were married couples living together, 25.3% had a female householder with no husband present, and 34.4% were non-families. 28.9% of all households were made up of individuals and 9.0% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.

Jackson ranks number 10 in the nation in concentration of African-American same-sex couples.
The @#%$ with that.....protect you and yours...at all times.
Well....I understand your rage. But there's hundreds of reasons why those aren't the same....and I think you know it.
i say thunderdome them. they all get a rusty meathook and the one left alive gets a free trip (to Jesus).
They should be avoided like the plague.
depends on where you are. In a high crime area, sure.
Well of course...But most people don't stay at the high end, full security, full service hotels in safe areas.
Most hotels that most people are forced to use, can be quite dangerous.

Nope, that was his second mistake. His first was going to Jackson, Mississippi.
Looks like there’s a lot of cream in his coffee.
Especially within a 100 miles of Jackson!
that’s not in a bad part of town, just right by the interstate...
tha bad parts of Jackson is in West Jackson mostly, west of state Street and south of 220
Were on 40 near LR ...Wifey just saw this
Terrible....damn usual animals
They’ve lost their fear of h-worders
Very unsafe area...
Tournament probably scared to warn....racism and all being more important than saving lives
City cops are worthless too
County might help
Hubby and his coworkers think it might be the last time Bassmaster has a tourney at the rez.
Poor guy was just probably trying to save a buck staying at the cheapie motel.
That area up there is carjack/theft central. This isn’t the first killin’ in that area over stuff in parking lot of one of those motels.
Your map is from about 20 years ago. The bad parts dun expanded a mite.
That part of I55 north is notorious for carjackings, thefts, assaults and murders in/around those motel parking lots.
Hubby won’t allow me to go to the Kroger on I55 or any other business up there anymore.
How did he come across as an ass?
Tell us about these “nice hotels in bad parts of some towns”.
Motel 6 ain’t a nice one no matter where it is. I travel a lot on biz and I’d sleep in my car before Motel 6.

The criminals prey up on the traffic and businesses along I55 in North Jackson now.
Best to be avoidin’ that part of time. Specially if you’re by yourself.
