May 7, 2025 at 1:47 pmI saw a sign in Jackson a few years ago; it was across from the VA Hospital when I drove by, but gone when I came back the same way. The sign said “IF BLACK LIVES MATTER, WHY ARE WE STILL KILLING EACH OTHER?” I thought it was the most profound question I had ever heard. That said, kudos to the law enforcement agency for quickly arresting the shooter in this case.
