Third time post of this "word of warning"... enough. Red, why not take out a paid advertisement in the Democrat if you would like to promote your services?

redusmfan, Seeing as you are in the contracting business yourself, I find it more than a little distasteful that you have posted verbatim this same "word of warning" twice to the Democrat comment boards today. This is no time for marketing and promotions. Thanks for your concern.

At the end of the day, Natchez will have one hospital. It's as simple as that...

This post was intended for the more recent/updated article on this incident, but as the comments have been disabled, I'll post my comment here.

The headline reads, "Top Officials: chase, shots OK"

Then everything must be OK? Right? Sorry, but what else would these folks say? "I did not have sex with that woman", "I'm not a crook", "I have sinned"...

What's wrong with questioning the actions of our law enforcement officers, when deadly force is applied in the narrow confines of downtown Natchez? There's more than one way to skin a cat isn't there? What's with the "Yer either wid us or agin us" mentality?

If no one voices concern over issues such as the ones surrounding this case, then this simply becomes the status quo. No questions asked - business as usual - shoot first and ask questions later. It wasn't all too long ago that young people died in an accident, the result of a car chase through Natchez. How often do these situations have to occur before law enforcement officials come up with a new strategy or alternative course of action to deal with individuals who seek to evade officers of the law?

This is a small town. Couldn't the perpetrator be picked up later? Are these cruisers equipped with video cameras? Wouldn't video footage suffice for a transcript of the alleged crime?

I do support our law enforcement officials, but I am entitled to ask questions too. That's a right guaranteed by our constitution... and if you don't use your rights, then you are apt to lose them.

Well, as the headline reads, "Top officials: chase, shots OK"... then, it must be true, right?

Does anyone know who claims the Marketing Gimmick "Capital of the World" title?

On Mini-biscuits lead to big title for Natchez

Congratulations Natchezians one and all. Now, where shall we erect the larger-than-life fiberglass biscuit monument? How about Memorial Park? On the bluffs? Main Street? Welcoming visitors and returning citizenry at the city limits? Perhaps the water towers could be artistically made-over as giant biscuits, painted to resemble our flakey, gravy-wed friends? Bold letters proclaiming, "Welcome to Natchez, Mississippi - The Biscuit Capital."

Sounds like a clean and quiet future is being carefully orchestrated for the ol' biscuit capital. Just ignore the sporadic Sunday afternoon car chases and gunfire, but please do something about these reckless kids and that darn rock 'n' roll!

Thank you, to the Mississippi Department of Archives and History for this grant and best wishes to all those involved in the project. I look forward to visiting the Rhythm Night Club Intrepretive Center. In the meantime, perhaps an account could be set up for those wishing to contribute to the project?

Now that's an offer no one should pass up-- a chance to visit The Elms and admire Esther's beautiful restoration work, while supporting the Natchez-Adams County Humane Society at the same time.
