Retry Frank.

Some time in the near future, Assistant U.S. Attorney Blumberg will decide whether to retry Frank Melton for demolishing the house on Ridgeway Street. If Mr. Blumberg has any backbone, he will ignore the calls for abandoning prosecuting the Mayor and instead try to hold him accountable for his actions on that Saturday night.

It is understandable many do not want Melton prosecuted as crime has been a problem in Jackson for a long time. Families moved en masse to the somewhat safer suburbs. Elderly are robbed on a regular basis. Thugs place no value on human life as they kill others for real or imagined offenses. Kids selling drugs on street corners. Nightclub shootings. Retired teachers beaten to death. People are fed up and are sympathetic to a loud-talking, hard-charging Mayor who is "doing something" about crime.

Unfortunately, Melton used those feelings to his advantage. Demolishing the house on Ridgeway was never about stopping crime but rather about Frank demonstrating his power. What was on display was not Melton the crime-fighter but Melton the town drunk as his scotch-fueled ego knew no bounds.

Melton the crime-fighter has been a complete joke as its clear he was never truly interested in fighting crime. Millions of dollars in federal grants were lost as Melton allowed the number of JPD officers to drop in large numbers during his term. Melton abolished the drug task force. No arrests for drug sales were made in 2006. Melton refused to release crime statistics until he was sued by the media. Melton sought to abolish the Jackson Police Foundation. He disciplined good officers for merely looking at him wrong and tried to promote officers even though they were not qualified and had not tested for the promotions. Under Melton's tenure, crime has skyrocketed as murders approach the levels last seen in the early 1990's.

If anything, Melton has been pro-criminal in his approach to crime as his actions involving Micheal Taylor prove. Young Michael Taylor. 16 years old when Frank assumed care of him. While under Frank's care he becomes involved in an armed robbery. Frank commits obstruction of justice by keeping Taylor away from Hinds County deputies when they try to arrest him. He graduates to carjacking. He calls the carjacking victim to demand money from her for the car and tells her he is going to rape her and kill her family. For all of her troubles, Melton and Taylor's scumbag mother call the victim a crack user. Some crime-fighting. Get robbed by one of Frank's special children and Frank will then smear you as a druggie and say you had it coming. Frank's buddy Judge Yerger gives him a slap on the wrist in court, setting him free in less than two years. See earlier post: Melton and Soljah Boy

There was a reason the Founding Fathers put the fourth and fifth amendments in the Constitution. The memory of Redcoats entering their homes at will and tearing them up in a Meltonesque manner burned very vividly in their minds as they wrote that sacred document. The Bill of Rights doesn't exist to put handcuffs on law enforcement or help criminals but to protect we the people from drunken mayors like Frank Melton who think because they have a gun and a badge they can do anything they want to do.

If the house on Ridgeway was a crackhouse, all Frank had to do was have his police officers make some undercover buys there, arrest some people for dealing drugs, then move to seize the home. Its not that hard and governments do it all the time (In fact, Brad Pigott did it in the 1990's when serving as U.S. Attorney for the area.). Its one thing for the police to claim strict rules on search and seizure keep them from fighting crime. Its another matter for them to not even try to arrest drug dealers or other criminals. While Melton's lawyer claims his heart was in the right place, its clear the only place Frank's heart was in was in a scotch-fed ego acting like a Black redneck.

Unfortunately, many people don't get it and just see the image of Frank destroying what they THINK is a crackhouse. If Harvey Johnson had done the same thing to a house in Eastover or Rolling Meadows while claiming it has a meth house, one can only imagine the screams that would have erupted on the JT and Dave show. I can remember back in the 90's the same people defending Frank crying bloody murder when the government sent the ninjas and tanks into the Branch Davidian complex in Waco after claiming there were drugs there even though none were ever found. What they fail to see is Frank has been using them all along and is just as much a threat to them as he was to a poor black lady who owned a house on Ridgeway.

If Mr. Blumberg respects his oath of office, he will prosecute Melton for violating the civil rights of Jennifer Sutton. She should not suffer from seeing Frank destroy her property while walking away scott-free. She has just as much right to protection from a drunken Mayor on a rampage with a sledgehammer and his gang as does any resident of Madison or Brandon. Justice demands no less as the Constitution and law exist to protect us from Mayors who watched 48 Hours too many times.

Black redneck.. I'm sorry, that was hilarious.

Kingfish for mayor.

I thought it was funny too.

This time, try him again on that one count. Dont' retry recio. Sequester the jury. Jordan needs to get some damn balls and start throwing people in jail if any more witness tampering goes on. Jordan was made to look like a fool by the defense team.

Put Welch, Sutton and Melton on the stand. Sutton is only concerned with the civil end of this deal.

Let him go. Crack kills. Crack destroys people, families, and neighborhoods. Tear those houses down. You have no rights when you choose to smoke and sell crack.

This is another babyboomer result. When they got tired of snorting, the suppliers cooked up the powder and distributed it that way. Thank You!!

OK....so the trial is back on. Who's guessing where it will be? I'm betting Natchez.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
