Lack of water isn't the only problem in Jackson, MS.

It also has the highest murder rate in the country, at 99.5 per 100,000. That's about twice as high as the most violent countries in the world.
That means almost 1 in a thousand residents were murdered in 2021. pic.twitter.com/xAF1mggDjj

Is this the city Johnny Cash and June Carter sang about back in 1967?
If they were around now:
JACKSON(a GRA rewrite)
We got married in a fever,hotter than a pepper sprout,
We were talkin' 'bout Jackson--ever since the fire went out.
(Cash) I went down to Jackson--too many blacks around.
Yeah,I went to Jackson--no water to be found.
(June) You went down to Jackson--a good place to wreck your health.
The only White man,in a city like that--make a big fool of yourself.
You went to Jackson--they shot off most of your ear.
(Cash) Honey,I survived Jackson-- my condition's almost fair.
(Cash) When I breezed into that city,the nig**rs they jumped up and down.
I had never seen the demographics--or I'd a never gone into that town.
I went to Jackson--the blacks took-a my coat.
They also stole my checkbook--a lot of those things they wrote.
(Cash) They pulled a knife on me in Jackson,stabbed me right in my leg.
blacks everywhere,knives in the air-so much blood lost--it filled up a keg.
I went to Jackson--the only White above ground.
I want to warn all White folks--don't go to that town.
Well now,I seem to have a high fever,hotter than a pepper sprout.
All this caused by--Jackson--wondered if I'd ever get out.
I went down to Jackson--and that's a fact.
Yeah,I escaped from Jackson--ain't ever goin' back.
Hmmmm...We got...
(End)
