Eleven people are in custody after a mace attack at Northpark mall Monday evening. Shoppers were overcome by the fumes, and several were taken to area hospitals, including a six month old baby.
The attack was unprovoked. Northpark shoppers and mall employees were caught off guard.
17 year old Anna Mabry has asthma. She says it was frightening, and she can't understand why anyone would use mace on innocent people.
Sgt. Tony Willridge of the Ridgeland police department says they got the call around 6:20 Monday evening. He says it didn't take long for officers to round up the eleven suspects, all of whom were cross-dressing black men between 18 and 25 years old.
Willridge says police are investigating to find out where the group got the mace. Witnesses tell us at least 10 people were given oxygen outside the mall.
Audrie Thompson, the general manager of Northpark, said, "We don't comment on specific investigations by local authorities, but as always, our number one concern is for the safety and well being of shoppers and mall employees."
The eleven suspects were processed at the Ridgeland police department. They will be transferred to the Madison County jail. They could faces charges of aggravated assault.
Authorities will be monitoring the condition of the victims, especially the six month old baby.
Well, they'll have plenty of "fun" in a Mississippi correctional facility, that's for sure;)
In other news, the gunshow did a booming business in Jackson last weekend. In the past the gunshows at the fairgrounds have been rather anemic, but this one was pretty good. I picked up a few choice goodies and will likely apply for a CC permit. Things sure have changed haven't they? In the old days you purchased a gun to protect you from predators in the countryside, nowadays you buy a gun to protect you from predators when you come in from the countryside.
Oh come on, there's crime no matter WHERE you live. I live in a very rural town, about 35 miles from Houston, and have been a victim of crime. However, the perp was lucky I wasn't home or they'd be a dead perp.
It happens, drive on.
Could this have been a fraternity prank? The New Orleans cross dressers stole stuff. These freeks just maced everyone.
Strange.
I very much doubt that this is an effect of Katrina. There have been Jackson horror stories for years.
A month ago I went to Jackson and stopped off to see the capitol and the Governors mansion. When I mention I went to the Governors mansions people reaction in Vicksburg I stayued with that night was"Oh God thats dangerous"/ That of course thats a tad silly and I can't imagine anything happening to me there in broad daylight. But its a mentality that comes from a real problem. Hopefully the mayor there can straighten it out
True enough, but there's crime and there's CRIME. Getting attacked by a gang of transvestites is something that I can't say has ever happened in my rural area ;)
Northpark Mall?
I hate to see that.
Pretty soon, there won't be a safe place left in the Jackson Metro area.
That being said, I don't know which is worse...the mace or the cross dressers.
But, put those two together and it's double ugly. ;o)

This must be the new style for the Wood Street Boys:
First guns and gangsta rap, then dirty south and grills, now Ru-Paul on crack with a mace sprayer.
WTH? That is some weird schmack.
I think I'm going to try to do all of my shopping away from the Northpark Mall this year, despite its proximity to my house. I can do without being maced by angry trannies.
A year without going to the Mall is a good year in my book.
Man, Frankie in a dress leading the pack, that would be a hoot.
"Shoplifting gang. They used this same MO in New Orleans until Katrina put their marks out of business."
Bingo. My first thought, after recalling them hitting up boutiques on Magazine St.
"DRESS" rehearsal? A pun, but still a serious question.
"A year without going to the Mall is a good year in my book."
Fess up...you're happy with this developement, aren't you. lol.
It's true. The angry trannies can have the mall for all I care.
It wasn't me. I was home doing my hair.
