Is today the anniversary? Were you at Pearl when it happened?

Kingfish, Unit 32 is pretty close to hell.

Today IS the anniversary. So many with emotional scars from it.

This is the day you hold your children a little closer and pray it never happens again. I was working in Pearl about 4 or 5 miles from the school.

I remember that the attack by Woodham was stopped by an assistant principal with a handgun that he was legally allowed to carry in his car in Mississippi due to the 1990 and 1991 gun permit and concealed carry laws. Thank God for Mississippi's embracing of 2nd Amendment rights. It saved lives on that day.

He is also nearly 300 lbs. damn. He's getting FAT in prison?

Remember to thank Joel Myrick and his .45 for putting an end to reign.

Jawbreaker

And Justin Sledge, Kroth mastermind, still walks the streets.

Re: his weight - he was about 270 lbs when it happened.

yeah, a fat ass then and a fatter ass now.

We all have slapped God in the face and are responsible for sending his son to his death. If we have been forgiven the greatest of sins we must forgive these lesser offenses against us.

"..A young man in prison wrote us a letter that moved me deeply. Talk about miracles! Here is what he wrote, word for word:

“David, I receive your sermons through the mail. I am one of the school shooters. I’m the one they blame for starting it all off. On October 1, 1997, I went into Pearl High School and killed two students and wounded seven. I also killed my mother before this. After I came to jail I got saved. If there is any way that I can help your ministry, I would love to. Maybe I could give you my testimony. I’ll do anything to help. I look forward to your sermons each month…”

Yes, I believe in miracles!"

Yeah I agree with above posters--if it wasn't for a law abiding school employee with a .45 ACP it could have gotten much worse.

Sledge went to jail for something else a few years later.

Honestly, from what convict friends of mine tell me, about all you do in prison is eat and sleep/lay on your cot ("riding the rack" it's called). Nearly everyone gains weight.

Exercise is veeery limited and hard labor is a thing of the past.

At least he's not a danger to people on the outside anymore.

Right, Kingfish - Justin Sledge was arrested in Rankin County for the manufacture and possession of a submachine gun, which he discharged on a public right-of- way. He was a student at Millsaps College at the time.

The BATF wanted his ass in a sling, but the federal judge (can't remember who it was) was surprisingly lenient, and Sledge only got four months in the pokey. He'd been expelled from Millsaps, but the idiot president Frances Lucas (thank God she's gone) re-admitted him after he served his time. He graduated a year or so ago, and last I heard, wanted to travel to Mexico to foment rebellion. Good luck with that, Sledge - they don't take kindly to crap like that down there. We'll probably hear from him again, and it won't be good.

... oh but the tree-huggers at Millsaps just can't get enough of Mr. Justin Sledge. They just have to overlook that little Federal weapons conviction that Sledge won for himself while a student at that little anti second amendment mecca.

It appears Sledge is now a popular philosophy professor at Wayne State and was a commie rabble rouser while at Memphis. He'd probably fit right in with an Antifa mob. The creep was a co-conspirator in the Pearl shooting (he hid in the library knowing full well what was about to happen) and even intruded a prayer vigil afterwards and went off on a rant. Then the weapons charge? The guy should've spend some serious time behind bars. They were even planning for explosives, escape to Cuba, etc, much like their Columbine counterparts.
