Cape is talking about their streets and how clean they are. You should see Jackson's streets. They're a disgrace. We live on Birdie Lane near the golf course. And ever since the snow, all the cinders and gravel that they had dumped are still on our streets. My car and house are filthy dirty. I have to wash it every two days because of all the dust. I've contacted the city of Jackson three times to ask the street sweeper to come out here and clean up the mess left over from the snow. This is a disgrace, because of all the taxes we pay in Jackson, that they can't bring the street sweeper out here and clean this mess up that's left over from the snow.
I see where Al Sharpton is out here telling these people that "we're going to rebuild Baltimore, and we're going to rebuild Ferguson." Can someone please tell Al that they burned down Baltimore more than 50 years ago and did not rebuild back. They're not going to rebuild back Baltimore. Just like Ferguson. Here it's been eight months. Not one building. They keep talking about having a training center. What are they going to train people to do? Because those businesses are gone.
