Not unless it was a cowardlydumbass calling himself “jay” on this site.
Good old Jonesboro, nothing but criminals and unabated crimes. This is happening all over the Country because of the demonic liberal demmocrats. Apparently people aren’t paying attention, not even when they are attacked, robbed and beaten.
Glad to see reporting
Did you know that in craighead county , you can punch a 58 year old veteran in the face and the police department Is Not allowed to make an arrest ? This happened to me last night… I was told by an officer that they had to witness it themselves and see a visible mark on my body !?;? Wish that I was never a member of the US Army , and never an American citizen !
If this is true, you got a bad cop. You have on-line access. JPD has a site on line where you can report crimes and report bad or good officers. If this really happened, I hope you will do something about it. The current administration is way too easy on crime and criminals. They do NOT have to witness an assault, etc. They are always posting video footage of crimes/criminals and asking the public to report who the thugs are, etc. Stand up for yourself. The more the crooks get away with the more crimes they commit and the more an officer gets away with doing nothing when they should do something the worse they become.
The main reason I doubt your veracity is your claim to wish to have never been a member of the military and never an American citizen; neither of those sentiments even begins to make any sense.
The entire police department is corrupt, to include the sheriff’s department. Can’t even find a good doctor in Craighead county!
Gotta agree with you about the sheriff’s dept. but city’s got some good cops just bad mgt. There’s always a bad apple in any big barrel but the problem is the uppers not the officers. How you mash the law with the crappy docs in this town is kind of weird.
The JPD is full of dumbass pussy’s.
Freemasons and Illuminati….
Personally I’ve noticed a lot of improvement in Jonesboro over the past few years. Half as many incidents but three times as many are getting reported. Regardless it’s best to stay vigilant. The most crime happens in places where the residents refuse to “snitch”.
If you think Jonesboro has improved over the past few years then you need to take that mental cognitive test and get your eyes checked too. “Snitch” is an archaic term used by criminals dealing in drugs back in the ’70’s and carried forward by small minded people who have a lot to hide. Law enforcement can only do its job if law-abiding citizens work with them, including reporting crimes and suspicious activities. God knows Jonesboro is a cesspool of criminals and crime.
Great news , now available in Paganboro Arkansas… The servants of Satan can purchase liquor at the Malco theater. Dry county,no, devil county. These rich pagans are gonna bring down the wrath of God upon the entire community with this! Next thing you know, the Malco will start showing Porn and selling CBD products!
Pretty amazing, isn’t it, Stuart? With all the crime (only the criminals claim it’s not bad) the powers that be decide to allow even more drugs (alcohol is a drug) to be dispensed to the public in general. We stopped going to the theater because the audience was so out of control years ago and one can only imagine how much worse it’s going to be when they are all drunk out of their minds too (some already brought their own, of course) and then stagger out to their cars and get on the road. Same problem with all these restaurants that serve booze but all this administration in Jonesboro cares about is serving lost people what they, themselves, want — destruction.
Yes…. Spiritually blind,deaf, and dumb.
However, I was like that before the awakening or quickening if you will. How frustrating and painful it is to my soul,to posses the cure ,for cancer of the soul,and be ignored, mocked and despised, even hated.
I could not be more blessed,more awake, more vigilant,more determined, than I am now…To Stay On Mission ,until I take my very last breath in this wicked, enslaving, deluding world!
Well, folks, God Himself warned us that evil people hated Him and we should be ready for the evil people to hate us when we love Him and do our best to live the way He told us was good. The liberal demoncrats hate Him and hate us and anybody who supports evil will be crushed by it in God’s time.
I cannot believe that anybody would lie and say Jonesboro is getting better. Do you even know any of the police officers who have to deal with the scum of the earth every day in Jonesboro? Young and old and everything in between. The courts are so flooded with evil creatures that they’re getting more like NYC every day and just turning people loose and more and more the officers don’t do anything because nothing is done even if they make arrests. Only a terrible criminal type person would try to say that situation is good in any way.
Yep, you hear the filthy sociopaths screaming every 4 letter word known to man, night and day, public and private and nobody does a thing about it. Great parenting, huh?
The Man here don’t take none of that serious Gus. There own kids is doing that stuff and worse. Not hard to see why Jboro is bad as what you are seeing on the news in other places but the peole that need to be telling it dont want to tell the truth about this stink hole town.
I wonder if Stan Morris is catching flack about posting these reports? They seem to be dwindling in frequency and completeness. Too bad. The dwindling law-abiding segment of Jonesboro really needs and wants to know what is going on.
