I live in a city that literally can't function.

Just totally ridiculous. Lives mean nothing. Responsibility means nothing. It just descends more and more into chaos.
Talking about Jackson.

Kingfish. Please consider leading the fight that has to be fought. A child is dead because of the gross incompetence of the city leadership.
I will fight with you but you need to lead this.

Parts Unknown is quite a shithole, from my understanding...

Why don’t you move?
Posted on 5/19/18 at 9:30 am to prplhze2000
Where do you even start with that place?

I hate it for you. I moved away from there in 2006 and would never move back. It is an absolute shithole city and a lost cause. There is no fixing it.

Shreveport is right behind you. Crime keeps going up. Honest people move to Bossier leaving a higher percentage of criminals to prey on a smaller group of people with stuff.
If could be fixed with a big increase in the police budget. But the Democrats who run the city see the fleeing homeowners as Republicans who would just vote against them anyway.
The infrastructure is going to hell. Almost half of the schools are graded as 'Failing'. Every year the Shreveport Times runs an editorial calling for 'Municipal Tax Base'. IE, combining Shreveport and Bossier City financially. Bossier's GOP dominated govt is still laughing about that idea.

I lived in that shithole town for almost three years. I am so thankful I got out. We go back and visit friends and relatives occasionally and I just can't believe how bad the roads are despite license plates costing an arm and a leg in Hinds County. Someone that lives there, please post the cost of your tag. I've also heard that there are bridges out all over the rural parts of the county bc there is no money to fix them.
This accident is infuriating. My SIL said that it has taken them almost a year to resurface a two mile stretch of road. Just last week they had to go back and re- do the manholes. There is a manhole right in front of the girl's school, about 200 yards from the accident, that has had barrels around it for 3 weeks.
I think of all the crazy shite teenagers do and live though it and this poor child was killed by an incompetent city.

Jacktown doesn’t care about human life. Murrah baseball boys flip on Riverside Dr. 6 year old capped. Unsolved decapitation. Lil Lonnie getting whacked. Sad.

First thought was New Orleans. But Jackson is spot on as well.

Third world cities in this first world nation. But don't worry, Europe is following us.

A woman who witnessed the crash told our cameras that she was, tragically, not surprised that something like this happened. She said that previously, another woman damaged her car when she hit the same manhole and that it was not properly repaired after that incident.
The city is still to blame, however.....
I can think of at least 10 times where I have gone out of my way to put an obstruction in front of a large pothole that I had come across. Why? because it pissed me off that no one else had done it, and Hypocrisy is my #1 pet peeve.
See something. Say something. Do something.
5 gallon bucket, borrow a crate or even a GD box from the closest convenience store. Hell as a teen I went out and caution taped & barricaded an entire intersection because it was in such shitty shape. Make a statement.
" yea i seen it was an issue but frick it, not my problem"

It sounds like it’s Superior Asphalt’s fault. And I’m no fan of radical communist Jackson Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba. He is akin to the South African militant black leaders and an early warning sign of how social media easily engages the homogenous black voting community in ways we haven’t seen before. We saw it in how quickly Bernie Sanders began to turn the tide with young black voters in the 2016 primaries (not quickly enough, but they learned from it).

The state needs to take over Jackson. Bring in the National Guard for security and the infrastructure rebuild like Frank Melton suggested years ago. Going to need a big jail, but they can build one of those too. Install George Flaggs as the overseer which should help appease the residents.

I blame the white leftists.
They conditioned the culture to be more accepting of lesser standards.
