Kenneth Stokes wants gun shows moved to Madison, Rankin Counties

With the number of shootings happening in the Capital City, Councilman Kenneth Stokes believes having gun shows in Jackson isn’t good for the city’s crime rate or wallet.

“Not all money is good money.” said Councilman Stokes. “Dope boys make money, but that ain’t good money.”…

…”As long as it’s these young black kids that’s killing each other, the Governor and others don’t care.” Stokes said. “It’s people like Kenny Stokes who say it’s wrong for a black man to be killed. It’s wrong for a white man to be killed. It’s wrong for a Hispanic man to be killed, because the bible says, ‘thou shall not kill’.”
