History does indeed repeat itself: who was it said that those who fail to learn from history's mistakes are doomed to repeat them?
Can you connect the dots to complete the picture of how the June 10, Riot in Billy Taylor Park came about through Kevin Jackson?

Kevin Jackson the Enabler (first posted in December, 2006)
It has long been the worst kept secret in Mt. Hope that Councilman Kevin Jackson is the greatest enabler of drug dealing in Mt. Hope.
Without K.J., drug dealing would have disappeared long ago. He may as well stand down at the Crossroads, the corner of Camp & Cypress, and pedal drugs himself for all he has done to enable the drug dealers in Mt. Hope.
He leans on the police to go easy, to not enforce the law in Mt. Hope. He never hesitates to play the race card and to accuse the police of racial profiling. The drug dealers know of his liberal, knee-jerk leanings and run to him with stories of racist police action whenever a minority drug dealer is arrested for selling drugs on the streets of Mt. Hope.
That is the main reason why the police seem to be hamstrung in Mt. Hope. They are loath to take on a City Councilman when he opposes them enforcing the law. Who wishes to commit political suicide?
How would you like to be the District 8 Commander and have the Ward Councilman tell you to "leave them alone"?
He crows about being one of the first, avid supporters of our new mayor. How complicit is Mayor Ciciline for going along to get along?
We, the law abiding, property tax paying citizens of Mt. Hope pay for these politicians pandering to the scum who deal drugs on Mt. Hope streets.
For what?
Because the drug dealers are minorities?
You guessed it.
If Kevin Jackson opposed drug dealing in Mt. Hope, and actively represented the property owners in Mt. Hope, as well as all the law abiding, market-priced renters, family's, and working people in Mt. Hope, drug dealers would not be controlling the streets in Mt. Hope. In fact drug dealing would have long ago ceased to exist in Mt. Hope.
It is a shame that Jackson usually runs unopposed and that people do not realize what destruction he has wreaked on Mt. hope through his pandering.
The Summit is also victim to his pandering for Mt. Hope exports crime to the Summit neighborhood. Yet he wins them over with money for landscaping and "bump outs".
What a joke!!!
No more fear!
Even if you are a policeman, hamstrung and frustrated by the situation, or just a citizen,
VOICE YOUR OPINION HERE,
YOU WILL BE KEPT ANONYMOUS!

Enabler? He was as quiet as a mousy at the meeting I was at, innocent as could be, a real advocate for the Mt. Hope neighborhood, as he never said a word. A very inefficient Councilman in my professional opinion. But maybe that is what enablers do, sit back and pit one side against another. But what do I know, I'm new here and very busy displacing the long time residents who have made Mt. Hope what it is. What it is.
