JACKSON, Miss. — James “Jimmy” Johnson, a 56-year-old B.A.S.S. angler competing in the Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Central Open tournament on Ross Barnett Reservoir this week, was shot to death Sunday night at a motel in Jackson, police confirmed.

Jackson Police Department spokesperson Colendula Green said Johnson of Ganado, Texas, was fatally shot at the Motel 6 at 7145 Interstate Hwy. 55 North in Jackson, where he and his wife were staying during the tournament. Police received the call at 7:48 p.m. Sunday. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Green told Bassmaster.com the incident is being investigated as a homicide, and police are looking for a black male who appeared on security cameras at the motel.

Details are limited as the investigation continues, but Chris Bowes, senior tournament manager for the Bassmaster Opens, said he received a call from a friend of Johnson’s Sunday night saying that Johnson had discovered someone apparently burglarizing his bass boat. The shooting occurred after that.

I'd say respect for human life - all life - should be learned at home at a very early age.

However, it is easy to imagine frequent anti-white rhetoric in black homes, given their leaders - Obama, Sharpton, Jackson, along with the MSM, routinely disparage whites as racists.

Combine that with fatherless homes & you get black sociopaths who will kill whites for a fishing rod or just for fun.

Nope, comparing Tulsa to Jackson is far from apples to apples. Betn’ the best part of Jackson is worse than the worst part of Tulsa. Then we can look at what the ferals think they can get away with, Tulsa, Oklahoma is a far cry from Jackson, Mississippi.

Happy to have you stay with the M6 bedbugs, Bodet is funny to listen to on the radio.

You won’t be able to avoid them in the future. The Won is working to empty the cities and resettle them in, ahem, less colorful areas.

It’s another sort of ‘spread the wealth’.

Actually, the victim was from Texas. Texas has CC reciprocity with Mississippi. Seems like the victim should have been carrying when he went to investigate the boat break-in.

Thanks. I cannot believe what is going on in DC today. The press is today acting worse than they ever have. I do not know how we survive these assaults on reality.

The press in America is the most dangerous force to America....

They are the enemy of the United States.

Period.
