TUPELO, Miss. (WTVA) — Tupelo mayoral candidate Rob Chambers is charged with a misdemeanor after being accused of kicking a teenager in the groin outside his home just one day after filing to run for office. Lee County Sheriff Jim Johnson said three teens came to Chambers' house in Belden Saturday night, rang the doorbell, then ran away. He said when they did it again, Chambers jumped out of the bushes, grabbed one of the teens and kicked him. "The parents of the juvenile that was kicked filed a report with the Lee County Sheriff's Department," said Johnson, "and an affidavit was signed by the parents in Lee County Justice Court. And subsequently, a warrant was issued for simple assault." Chambers, the only candidate challenging incumbent Todd Jordan, turned himself in to law enforcement Tuesday and posted a $600 bond. In a Sunday Facebook video, the candidate indicated he thought there may have been more to what happened instead of just a prank. "It could be some kind of coincidence," said Chambers. "I don't know. But it certainly appears to me that it's targeted to try to intimidate me to not be involved in this mayoral election." Johnson said what happened was not politically motivated. "This is a situation that — if you've got teenage kids or even when I was a child, kids pulling pranks on other kids — we can say that there was a child at the home the same age that knew these individuals," said the sheriff. The case involving the candidate would normally be handled by Tupelo police, but the department turned it over to the Lee County Sheriff's Department to avoid a conflict of interest. WTVA 9 News reached out to Chambers Tuesday to see if he wanted to comment further after what he posted Sunday. He did not answer multiple phone calls.

Today's entire show is based around a simple request, I want someone to sell me on the incentives for someone to move to Jackson from the suburbs or stay in Jackson instead of moving to the suburbs. This is how we started the show and it took us down a bunch of rabbit holes about how & why Chokwe & his team (IMO) have intentionally destroyed Jackson to enrich themselves. We also got to see his 2022 campaign finance reports and a familiar name pops back up, Terry Lovelace. We discuss how he appears to be Chokwe's largest donor and in my opinion the financier behind Lumumba's reign of terror and the downfall of Jackson. How did him or his company benefit from the near $50,000 in donations made to Chokwe over the 3 year period of 2022 - 2024? I'm only speculating but from the outside looking it stinks!!

Shaun joins the show to assist in the deep dive into Jackson mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba's campaign finance reports, we stayed up late last night going through who all the donors were, how they potentially benefitted from their campaign donations and much, much more. Kingfish even calls in later in the 2nd hour to discuss his thoughts on this topic and the disaster going on at Thalia Mara Hall.

Let's take a look at Chokwe Antar Lumumba's campaign finance reports and look at all the alleged corruption and expose him for taking $25,000 from an "accused/alleged" racist (we got the receipts), we report you decide!!
