JACKSON, Miss. (WJTV) – A man was arrested for allegedly making a terroristic threat at Congressman Bennie Thompson’s Campaign Headquarters in Jackson on Friday, June 3.

Jackson police said Tony Ray Brown, 66, walked into the campaign headquarters and asked to see Congressman Thompson. Staff said Thompson was unavailable, and Brown allegedly stated “it would be one of the biggest bloodsheds in Jackson” if he couldn’t speak to Thompson.

Additionally, Jackson police said Brown also stated that he “didn’t care about doing life in prison” and would return to prison if needed. He allegedly stated that he’s “mad and needed help.”

... and got the attention of the right people! No mention of a gun at the scene, so just theatrics/hysterics, crying for attention/help.

RW media continually call Democrats Communist who are out to ruin the country and fire up the ignorant crazy people who think they are saving their country.

We have to do something about the propaganda.

was with my boyfriend now husband, we are white.....we were on our way to Mardi Gras and our VW Van broke down so we left it....yes, young a dumb days...Hahahaha

So, going thru Jackson, we were promptly met by local deputies who checked our ID etc and told us to keep moving on thru because the hippie types are not welcome....we most certainly followed thru with their recommendation...

when you hear this term, and you even had the hippie van!! Hopefully you kept the van as a collectible from those days but more than likely, the upkeep etc. got to be too much on it, so it went by the wayside.

And the best part of those times, is we never hurt anyone. Maybe ourselves, but I never saw violence except in bars and response to anti-war protestors by the "National Guard" and police.
