NEW: Black activists in Jackson, Miss., are calling for a Texaco gas station to shut down because of the growing murders and crime in the area

Someone said “The owner should have the integrity of a human being for [himself] to say, we need to shut this down”

Councilman Kenneth Stokes says he will bring a vote of no confidence against the city's legal department for not shutting down the gas station sooner

“Where people suffer harm or injury, it’s got to be considered a nuisance. How many people have to die here before they realize it’s harmful?” Councilman Stokes said

What is the gas station doing to cause all these murders? Shouldn’t that be a LEO issue?

So if the owner shuts his station down because of nearby crime he has no part in will there be protests of a “gas desert?”

This is why grocery stores left the hood decades ago…..

You don't think they'll find somewhere else to murder each other?

A dusk to dawn curfew in certain neighborhoods would be more effective.

That Texaco station should be arrested.


These people and their “leaders” refuse to hold their own responsible for anything. Damned fools.

I didn’t know they still had Texaco stations. I used to have a Texaco card back in the 90s.

It is the gas station’s fault that Jafrica can’t police worth a shite?

Don't go trying to make any sense of this... Somebody other than the people committing the crimes must pay for these murders. They have chosen this small business owner as the sacrificial lamb. Don't worry though, once they shut this place down, all crime activity in a 10 mile radius will stop immediately.

You can’t coexist with people who think this way. Period.

That fricking gas station is a clear psychopath. I hear it wet the bed well into its twenties, set fires to random things around the neighborhood, and killed many puppies and cats. This is not a surprise that gas station has grown into a serial killer. We just can't allow it to keep hunting and killing.

How would shutting down the business stop murders at the building? Are they expecting the building to be demolished too?

Why would anybody have a problem with this? At least put the store owner on notice. Good for them.
