I hate what's happened in Northpointe in the last ten years. I see that there were two armed robberies on Northpointe Pkwy, in the same block, two days in a row. I know of shootings there in recent years, too. Bad stuff in what was once an awesome neighborhood. I grew up there and felt safe as could be. It was the place to be in the 80's through the mid-90's. Fortunately, my family got out while the getting was good. There have been reports of a gate system going in at the major entrances (Npt Pkwy/Plantation, Old Canton/Npt Pkwy and Npt Drive/Waterford), but apparently those residents can't get their collective act together and agree on a solution. There are some good people left there; a bunch of them, actually. But the problem is that the County Line contingent uses it as a pass-through to Old Canton, and vice versa. There are bad neighborhoods on all sides of Northpointe now, and I fear there's not much left that can be done...especially if it is never gated. Anybody with close ties to Northpointe have an update on what is being done? Really a sad situation over there.

Tear down the apartments and it would be fine. Also, bad neighborhoods on all sides? Tell that to the Country Club.

Until we're all gated, profiling. Need more profiling.

Look out of place in a certain neighborhood? Pull their ass over. See what they're doin.

Hurts their feelings? Too damn bad. Don't come back then.

Least they'd know we're watching.

@ 11:25, I don't consider JCC contiguous to Northpointe because, well, it's not. You get my point, though.

What is the disturbing 11:00 AM is the trend by neighborhood associations ... like Eastover where Downtown soothsayer Ben Allen and Circuit Judge hope-to-be Jeff Weill make their homes ... to privately employ weapon-packing off-duty JPD officers with arrest powers 24/7/365 to patrol specific neighborhoods and specific streets.

Now what we have in Jackson is a two-tiered system of public safety. Live in one of the special neighborhoods with the ECONOMIC POWER to hire JPD officers and RECEIVE SPECIAL PROTECTION.

OR live elsewhere in Jackson and only count on the best-efforts approach from the beleaguered and severely undermanned Jackson Police Department.





Meanwhile Jackson's Nero Harvey Johnson wastes precious time getting wiggy about billboards featuring pole-dancing stippers while his taxpaying citizens load rental trucks for all points out of Jackson.

Let's face it ... hiring off-duty JPD officers specifically for their arrest powers and ability to proactively use police power weaponry is EXACTLY the same as ... even BETTER than ... employing a private militia.

So when you read or hear the names Leland Speed, Ben Allen, Teddy Duckworth, Jeff Weill, Kane Ditto and any other luminary living in Eastover remember that they receive a level of police protection that 99% of Jackson does not receive.

Why has the Northside Sun been the only media to report on the attack of the couple during Fondren After Five?

6:08- What happened? Give us more details, please.

First off, the individuals named are not hiring JPD for that. Nice conspiracy theory. Second, even if they were, what is wrong with a JPD officer being hired off-duty? Want more police and/or better protection? No problem. Vote to raise your taxes to pay for it.

Otherwise, quit bitching.

Here is a new thought. Work hard. Play hard. Be safe. If I was drinking at a local establishment and could not drive and hired a cab and it happened to be an off duty Police Officer (moonlighting because he has a family to raise) would you complain? And what if I hired him every night (on call) to make sure that my friends had the same safety to the public afforded them? Would you complain? Get with it, I choose to do what is right and your criticism for those who do so is not racism, classism, profiling, etc. It is called, I don't have cable, I do have internet, I don't have someone mowing my lawn - I do it myself, I don't pay for gas for my car to and fro work - I ride my bike...etc., etc., etc.,

I do what is right in my world and try to keep my family safe without hurting others, do you think and act the same?

Drop the drama.

You can't stop someone from hiring private security for their neighborhood, home, personal safety, etc. If it is permissable for off-duty JPD officers (or whomever) to accept such employment, then there is nothing you can do about it, besides complain like a jackass and make yourself sound ridiculous.

If I felt like I needed extra security and could afford to pay for it, I would do it, and I wouldn't expect someone to judge or criticize me for it.

It's a sorry shame that other areas of this city experience much more than their share of crime, and I'm not trying to diminish that. But police protection alone is not enough; the whole community has to be responsible, proactive, and anti-crime. This is not a new problem, and nothing done has yet to make a lasting difference.

Don't judge someone for trying to keep themselves and their property safe, as long as they are within the law. And don't expect one group of individuals to be personally responsible for what happens all over this city.

We live in an incredible NE Jackson neighborhood, but crime happens...and is happening. SO, our neighborhood association is looking into hiring off duty officers. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THAT? We want to take a further step in protecting our homes and our families. If homeowners want to pay extra to hire additional security then what business is that of yours or anyone else's? More neighborhoods need to take an extra step in preserving NE Jackson....instead of just giving up and bitching...
I am 300% for off duty officers being hired. Our neighborhood has many meetings with Jeff Weill and the new Precinct 4 commander to discuss crime prevention. It is called "Taking action"....you should try it...

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.

Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.
