    I dont understand how everyone is moving to jay thinking they are getting away from all the crime and drugs. IT IS IN JAY TOO, always has been, always will be. I grew up there and it is no different than any other town when it comes to drugs and violence. Im not trying to make Jay sound like a bad place because it is not but wake up people. Prayers for the family’s.

    This really saddens me. A major drug bust followed by a homicide…I always pictured Jay as the quiet neighborly Norman Rockwell type town. The woes of our nation are having an impact on even the smallest of towns. So much pain, so much hatred, so much animosity…I guess Merle Haggard was on to something when he sang about are the good times really over for good.
