There seems to be a little bit of fire with the latest double murder. People are pissed off and actually starting to demand something be done and asking the right questions about what is going on in the city.



Percy King, the Snake Man, was gunned down in his front yard in the middle of the day last week. He brought joy to thousands of children with his exotic animals. He had a passion for it. He would do birthday parties for the suburban kids with parents that could pay and do them for the inner city kids that couldn't pay.



My daughter's favorite memory of Mr. Percy is that during one of his animal shows, he put a parrot on the principal's head and told the children to clap. He then said "He poops when he hears applause!" which cracked up a ton of 1st and 2nd graders.

People are calling for a gun ban.

Won't work, per the Supreme Court. Can't ban guns.

What needs to be done can no longer be done.

Has Jackson tried 'Prayers to Stop Crime'? Shreveport does it all the time. After a rash of murders the black preachers declare "Enough is Enough...time for Prayer."
It's been going on for 20 years. It doesn't seem to work.

First I heard of this murder. I can't believe someone killed Percy. He was a great guy.

This is the fricking problem in the black community. You have one guy here who works hard, does the right things in life, brings joy to children. Gunned down in his yard by some thug pieces of shite.

It's just sad.

frick!

I remember Jackson in the 80s was a pretty cool town. Damned shame what has happened.

And the fact it is 80% black should not be a death sentence. One would hope that regardless of skin color, people want to live in a safe and prosperous community.

The good people in cities like these just need to relocate & let the ghettos burn down around the savages. It seems most of these areas are past redemption. No need to lose any more good people like this.
