OT: MS State Fair

[ronpolk]

So, I read today that JPD is only sending one officer to patrol the streets around the fair this year. Typically they are all over place, especially high street and Jefferson. Personally I think this is a bad move by Jackson and JPD. If something serious happens the fair will be in a suburb next year.

I also think it's going to hurt attendance.

The fair commission is sueing jpd. Pretty crazy. Basically jpd doesn't want to do their job

 

[ronpolk]

I can understand JPD wanting the fair commission to share some in that overtime cost but at the end of the day JPD is basically saying we are not going to patrol an area where hundreds of thousands of people will be. Mine as well tell the criminals to come one down.

"the fair will be in a suburb next year"

I would rather have Gitmo in my "suburb" than that neon crime magnet.

They should move the fair to Madison and make them brick all of the rides**

It shouldn't be an issue. Hinds SO

will still be there.

Hilarious.
All the clutching of pearls over a Costco getting put in a suburb...and they're going to park the FAIR in a suburb?

Didn't they put the mid-south fair out at the agricenter? So I guess there is some precedent.

(disclaimer: I could see it happening in Richland.)

I'm thinking at Trustmark Park would be a viable option if they did shuttles for parking.

I think they moved the mid south fair to Southaven at the Desoto Center.

Exactly where I was thinking. There is probably just as much room at trustmark park but probably not the amount of parking. I just think Jackson should be prepared to lose the fair if something happens. Maybe Jackson does not want it.

When will you idealist clowns finally realize that the morons who now run most southern cities (and other left-leaning cities throughout the country) are corrupt and care nothing about the people?? Go in these city limits, you better be packing and have your head on a swivel!!

The Midsouth Fair is at the Desoto Center and the Delta Fair is at the Agricenter.

Yep whenever I'm in Asheville or Austin I always pack. Got to watch out for those people selling hemp necklaces. Catvet is that you.
