You’re not supposed to Notice. Stop Noticing. |
Little Mike is like “Look! Antifa! Portland is being burned down by Antifa! Anything but looking at his own home state mess. |
It can’t be broken down by city. You’re ignoring the rest of the state that might also have problems with violence, guns, break ins, drugs. Blue states have more money than states like Mississippi where corruption in government is out of control. Mississippi has a dozen dangerous small cities, not just Jackson. It’s up to the governor of Mississippi to fix the problems. |
I'd take my chances any day of the week in Mississippi over Portland, Chicago, NYC, etc. |
well, I wouldn't. At least OR and IL have other cities that's great for raising a family. There are neighborhoods in Chicago that are considered to be the nicest place to live. Arlington Heights in Chicago is #12 safest place in the country, and #56 best place to live in this country. There are zero areas in MS that's considered safe or best place to live. I would never raise my kids in MS, nor would I ever live there being in a biracial family. |
Yup, no one is hiring now. Trump has wrecked our economy. I fear for the kids graduating from college this year. What are they going to do with their degrees in physics and industrial engineering? Pick crops? Work at McD's? Joyfully fill all those empty factory jobs that deported (or detained) immigrants used to hold? |
Bless your heart, honey! Y'all have a nice time in Mississippi! Don't ferget yer gun! |
Have you actually been to Mississippi? The place is absolutely terrible. And that includes the rural areas. |

I’m gonna take a wild guess that you’ve never been to Chicago, NYC or Portland. |
I know, lemme guess. Gun ownership, ignorance and men wanting their way so killing their kids & women on hunting land so they are 'missing' and murdered? |
Been all these place and live in DC. Mississippi scares the s!@# out of me and I'm a good looking, educated affluent white woman who can put on the Southern (accent, style, mannerisms) at will. I still feel unsafe. From the cops, the crazy land-rich otherwise poor rednecks, and the drinking and driving and ignorance. I also have family there so go more often than I'd like. Sheeit, a gun could randomly go off and a kill a person in that land of nothin'-to'do. |
Do you live in your mom's basement? Anyone choosing the violence in Jackson, Mississippi over a comfortable, pleasant life in NYC, Portland, or Chicago - all great cities - is someone who is brainwashed by right-wing propaganda. But go ahead and move to Jackson, Mississippi. Best of luck to you once you see sunlight. |
Why always afraid? I thought you were a lion. |
