Hearing tomorrow for importing prisoners into Belhaven


There is a hearing tomorrow for the placement of a prisoner-release program into Belhaven Heights:

"The purpose of this e-mail is to update everyone regarding a very important matter within the Belhaven Heights Community.

The City of Faith, a non-profit that operates work release programs for the Federal Bureau of Prisons, has filed a request for a variance allowing it to operate a 40-bed program at 789 Harris Street in the Belhaven Heights community. The variance is needed because the location is within 1,000 feet of our park and single family homes. The BHCA Board has met and voted to oppose the location of this request. The City of Faith plans to appear before theCity of Jackson Planning Board at 1:30pm, Wednesday, May 23rd in the Hood Building, first floor conference room in order to ask the Planning Board to approve their request to operate at this location.

We need at least 50 residents to attend this meeting. If you, or any neighbors, can attend, please reply to this e-mail. You will not be asked to speak, but to raise your hand stating you are in opposition. We appreciate your support.

Scot Ehrgott
BHCA President"



Editorial comment: If you live in Belhaven and can be there tomorrow to oppose this project, be there and if Chokwe is there, run him over.

I'm aghast. What am I missing? Why put a facility like this in a residential setting.....ANY residential setting in ANY town? Another example of everything in our society being dumbed down to the point of less than mediocrity.

They tried to rent a building from me downtown. We refused, while Informing them that the last thing downtown needs is to add prisoners to the Whitfield patients, rescue mission residents, unsupervised halfway house panhandlers and the general homeless. Consider moving these entities out of downtown. Now imagine our downtown. B

DonnerKay lives in Fondren now a stones throw from the State St. Demilitarized Zone.

But it would be great if she donated one of her whizbang writing classes to these transitionees. Just think about all the victimhood and stories she could glean for free out of that crowd.

Isn't there ample rental property available on Hwy. 80 West? South Jackson has loads of empty rentals...

I'd much rather have this establishment than the various and sundry other scum, degenerates and human pieces of dog shit that live in and directly across from the neighborhood. At least these guys have a reason to think twice before robbing the hell out of Poplar Blvd.

Where is Poplar Blvd. asshole?

Poplar Blvd. is in Belhaven, less than two hundred yard from Belhaven Heights, which I'm assuming you know and are going to make the argument that they are separate areas. Poplar, though, is surely closer to Belhaven heights than the other side of State Street, where the real trash comes from. So, yeah, I'd still rather live close to a bunch of guys who are trying to, or a least have motivation to, do right and who are closely supervised than the legions of gutter trash who have nothing to stop them from pillaging our neighborhood and running right back across the street where they know the JPD won't do anything to pursue them. Asshole.

It's not a half way house. It's an internship program for hoodlums rusty on their petty larceny skills. Belhaven contains the homes they used to break into in their youth.
If you don't allow them in you will just have to pay to provide transportation from way across town.
At least if they are in neighbor hood you'll know where your stolen stuff is located....Every body needs a 2nd or 3rd chance to get away scot free.

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.

Trollfest '07

Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards. Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee? 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.

If you get tired come relax at the Fox News Tent. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both will entitle you to free drinks.Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required, just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '07 is for EVERYONE!!!
