WTF Mississippi? Unpacking the Shootings, Culture Rot, and Accountability (Ep #1,078)

In this episode #1,078 of The Clay Edwards Show, I dive into a violent weekend in Mississippi where at least five shootings disrupted homecoming celebrations and campus events. This includes the deadliest mass shooting in the state's history in Leland, where 16 people were shot after a high school homecoming football game, leaving 6 dead and 10 in critical condition. Less than 24 hours later, a drive-by targeted a Leland gas station while a mother was inside with her children. Other tragedies: a double murder in Heidelberg following a homecoming event, a triple shooting with one death on Alcorn State University's campus, a shooting in the tailgate area at Jackson State University's homecoming game in Veterans Memorial Stadium, and another homecoming-related shooting in Rolling Fork.

Beyond Mississippi, a double shooting near LSU's campus in Baton Rouge injured two during the Tigers' homecoming. Last weekend, a mass shooting in downtown Montgomery, Alabama, killed 2 and injured 12 in a rival groups shootout, with a juvenile arrested on murder charges.
