Jackson Jambalaya

Doing my happy dance on top of my desk!

Now maybe she will have to take down those campaign signs. Or maybe they will rot and once again become part of the Jackson environment like she said they would. Maybe then again the local DA, election commissioner, etc. will actually MAKE her folks remove the signs.

Cant wait to see her/his pissed off hat that she wears for the camera in her presser. You know she will take to cameras, "Dis is a tragecty, i wuz robbed. No, really someone just stole my shit! Get'em Kennuf!"

Oh, the train wreck that is going to be a re-vote in the effervescent Ward 3 will certainly be Oscar-worthy. Do we have an over/under on number of public shout downs that will take place?

I will go with 4.

Enjoy

Actually, there will be more signs. They have to have a new election.

Thank goodness. I believe I see a little glimmer of hope. The crud that went on during that election was unbelievable.

I'm stunned, literally. Just now watching Cheryl on WLBT with this story. Is there such a thing as a change of venue election? Kennuff ain't gonna let dis happen! I may have missed it, but, does this mean she cannot serve in the interim? And what is considered a quorum, if not? Not that it matters.

Of course we all know this is due to having a white attorney and a white jerdge.

Four? There will be that many poll worker fights on election day per precinct. KF, you already have the basis in your trial footage for an Oscar worthy documentary. There's no telling how many awards you'll win if you can get enough volunteers can tape and do exit interviews at the polling places.

the sad thing is that ward 3 is slam full of bottom feeders like mr. and mrs kenny 'tokes..jim crow..black crow...hmmm?

Kenny is going to want a change of menu.

Jerry Mitchell will be up late tonite.

Was anyone present when the "word" came down? Was there gnashing of toofa's?

The CL has video up with reactions from all parties. To God be the glory!

KJ, you need to get your video equipment ready and have plenty charged up batteries on hand. This is going to be your chance to film some award winning footage. The Stokes are so mad it's no telling what they are going to do or say before this next election, and on election day? Oh my goodness. I'm talking one of a kind once in a lifetime stuff.It's going to be priceless.

Seems like the news broke Jackson's website.

I think the persons involved in the illegal behavior at the polls are dangerous, and I fear for Joyce Jackson, who was brave enough to stand up for justice.
Larita Stokes arrogantly stated that she is still the Jackson city councilwoman, and Kenneth Stokes angrily said they beat Joyce Jackson before and they will beat her again. Well, if corruption and outrageous behavior has anything to do with it, I am sure he thinks they can.
However, be that as it may, I am thrilled that justice prevailed, and I will pray that Joyce Jackson wins in the pending election. I do NOT think Larita Stokes should continue to serve in a position to which she was illegally elected. Why should she?

There needs to be FEDERAL POLL WATCHERS at every voting precinct for this next election. Everyone knows Stokes the Joke does not play fair, and she doesn't either.
I was pleased that she did not win the court battle. People are tired of the Stokes Jokes.

I can only imagine the scene at the Stokes' place tonight:

Kenny & Rita, Mama Stokes, Enoch, their attorney with the (Egyptian mummy name ? ) and the rest of their camp all stirred-up into a frenzy.

I bet Enoch's faded camo outfit is is dripping wet with sweat tonight due to the verdict.

How can I qualify to be a poll watcher?

June 8, 2012 7:36 PM"

It has been broken all day. Before the news came out.

I may have to make a trip back to Jackson for a visit to the Ward 3 polling places on election day. I bet it will be a trip to watch. I will wear my kevlar though because you never know if a gunfight might break out if Rita's folks get worked up.

How about kennuf defending "racial" attacks by his wife? Racsism is alive and well.

Come on back to Jack-town 2012 & enjoy the show.

Wearing kevlar is required unless you set up base camp in Fondren. According to some, there is no crime in
in that " funky, hip and so called historic district " .

But not to worry... re-paving Fortification Street will make all things well again.

"Dis don't bees goodt." - Kenna Thtoke

"Dis heah bees raciss" - LaRita Koopathtoke

"How about a FAIR election this time?" - Joyce Jackson

"Amazing! There's still an iota of sanity in an ocean of corruption!" - the collective voices of the greater Jackson metro area

"How can I blame this on the white people in Madison and Rankin Counties?" - Donna Ladd

My guess...they wait until the last minute to file and appeal. That will put setting a special election back until AFTER the appeal is heard and adjudicated. Then comes an appeal of the appeal. By that time the next elections will have been held.

How can we donate to Ms. Jackson's Campaign/Witness Protection fund?

Not sure which was more funny:

a. Watching Bruce Burton stumble and fumble as usual.

b. Da Stokes posse complaining.

I am no fan of John Reeves, but this legal matchup was about like having a normal kid vs. a challenged kid in a trivia contest. And ol Iamatopper Hoetapper just sat there looking stupid nodding his head.

I certainly think the case had merit and I agree with the jury. It appeared to be Reeves beating the pony-tail lawyer like a stray dog and making him like it. Embarrasing.

Bad news is - Stokes stays on the Council until the election. Bad law, but it is the law.

Good news, judge said election to be held within 30 days of final order.

Look for election before the end of July.

Appeal is not that easy - and if Stokes tries, the Supremes generally rule on election appeals within a day. Election will continue as scheduled.

Hopefully, the voters in this ward will take the chance to get rid of Stokes - but that is not an automatic. Jackson is well respected and known in the community - hopefully they will step up to the plate and tell Kenny that his time is up.

Why is K. Stokes so mad? This has threatened his double dipping. It has been documented that he is corrupt and financially defrauded the city of Jackson. Now he has his sights set on stealing from the county with several other supervisors. With L. Stokes taking his old seat in J-town he has double income stealing. He is mad because some of his fraud income is being threatened. And if anyone else gets into that seat there is a good chance that they will uncover the corruption left behind. And by the way K. Stokes, you ever pay that bus bill or are you still trying to twist the arms of churches and working people to pay your bill?

Someone ^^^ mentioned the safety of Mrs. Jackson. I agree. Where can this woman go and not be in fear of Kenny and his goons. I can remember countless times when he got up in people's faces and threatened them physically in City Hall Chambers. He's a violent, angry and dangerous man and he has hundreds who will do his bidding. Someone needs to protect this woman from The Ghetto Mafia.

I commend the jurists who decided this case. I was thinking "no-way" DT Jax is going to decide this the right way.

I am quite amazed and have nothing but great job for the jurists who were unable to be influenced as the voters were on election day.

"gnashing of toofas."I spit my coffee on my I-pad! Funny stuff there. And Kingfish, If you don't capture a enough video for a Comic Short Documentary on this one, shame on you.

Wonder what the verdict would have been in a Jackson court, under a Jackson jury?

10.06, this was not a Jackson court and jury? Where was the case heard??

10:06. It WAS a Jackson jury. In fact, 3 of the jurors were from Stokes's Ward 3.

11 blacks, 1 white. UNANIMOUS.

Hattiesburg, I thought.

Attorney John Reeves did a splendid job. Hope he'll get back in politics. We need more like him who are not afraid to speak truth to power.

A good day for the City of Jackson and also for Joyce Jackson!!! Congratulations Ms. Jackson for having the courage to stand up for what is right and legal!! You are an example of what it will take to make Jackson, Mississippi whole again!!!

Stoke's attorney labeled Joyce Jackson a "sore loser". Based on the post trial interviews with the two big 'uns, it would appear sore loser would be more appropriate for the Stokes duo.

One can only wonder how the residents of Ward 3 and Hinds County could vote for two individuals that have been and continue to represent them (when they are not too busy grandstanding by walking out of meetings) in such a negative way.

Moople, once again, missed the train and fell off the freight platform. Hello Moople! The judge was brought in from 'outside'. Not the jury.

No, the judge was from the burg area, I think. All of the Jackson judges recused themselves.

My bad

I hope that the voters in Ward 3 will get it right this time and Cooper-Stokes will lose. But I'm not ready to put that much faith into them yet.

I'm glad that the verdict was unanimous.
But I had no clue that there was a White juror.

Do Whites actually remain in that ward ?

The white lady read the verdict... Racist.

Yeah that was Barbara Dunn.
How did she play into this case ?

Barbara Dunn was fulfilling her role as Circuit Clerk.
The jury was picked from the 1st judicial district of the county, not just ward 3.

Just like all juries are, for trials in the 1st judicial district.

I wonder how Dunn continues to stay in that office.

5:05 Be careful talking about Ms. Dunn. Anything is possible in Hinds County even Ole Kenny or the Mrs. deciding they would like to take Ms. Dunn's place.

Whatever happened with the charges filed against Barbara Dunn, months ago?

I woke up from a dream just now. Kenny, LaRita and Chokeme were in some town up north in a meeting. Men in suits were seated around a big table and there was a water pitcher and grapes. The printed agenda was handed to me as I entered the room. The three of them, it seemed, were on an industrial recruitment trip and were speaking to the men, giving them reasons they should relocate their business to Jackson. It was LaRita's turn and she was talking about 'the arts', improved relationships, the availability of rail spurs and schools. Kenny was chuckling. LaRita smiled and I could count seven gaps where teeth used to be. Chokeme's bowtie began to spin and he took off his shoes. Then I woke up.

4:31 That was no dream you had, Shadowfax. That was a nightmare. You just gave me a serious case of the creeps. To think either Stokes represent anyone is just plain scary.

If you still live in Jackson you should be planning your departure now.

The reactions and Depiction of imagined conversations on this site demonstrate a blatant hatred of black people. Its shameful.

10:34 We hate thieves, swindlers, con artists, self-promoting hustlers and liars of all races, colors, creeds, sexual proclivities, political parties, religious beliefs, etc. And, as a group, we are none too gentle about expressing it.

I defy you to find one nasty comment about, say, Kim Wade on this site. He is a black man, so obviously your theory that we hate 'black people" is crap. We despise some people because of their behavior, and say so.

This apparently is too subtle for you to grasp, or you prefer to give a free pass to any liar, crook, swindler, etc, if they happen to have an excess of melanin.

That ain't gonna happen here. I'll be just as nasty talking about Kenny Stokes as I am (or was) about Paul Minor when he was in the headlines. Crooks are crooks, and nobody gets a free pass here.

Toothless ain't got no color in MS! Implants are a good thing.

10:34. There's nothing shameful at all about disliking anyone who tries to control, bully and steal from others. NOTHING AT ALL.

Intern,

I mean, 10:34.

Get back to work before Donna walks in and sees
you reading & posting on JJ !

Maybe If I had included Ben Allen and 'One-Buck Leland' in my dream, 10:34's panties wouldn't be in a wad. I could have, but, those aren't currently the people in the news.

10:56 - if you truly believe what you say...that you despise all crooks no matter what race color or creed....then why not stop or denounce the needless pointing out of the improper use of english by black folks. Does it really serve a purpose? The answer is no. It only highlights hatred for black people....period. If Stokes are crooks...then find a witness, fill out an affidavit, and proceed. If you just dont like Stokes, et al, then feel free to say why...just stop the racist banter shown by depicting imagined conversations wherein they are shown to speak with improper grammar.

OK 1:39. YOU WIN. I HATE the black people that have moved around the corner, park their car in the front yard, and cut their grass every 3 weeks. I HATE the black people that are 25 years old, and walk around the street all day long, living on welfare I pay for, and never even look for work. I HATE that 40 years ago, we had the Temptations, 4 Tops, Otis, Sam and Dave , Impressions, Sam Cooke,
Stevie etc, anf now we have foul mouth black idiots idolizing thuggery. I can go on and on. Yes I HATE these black people.

Act normal = don't hate. Act like a n word = hate.

It's very simple 1:39,

After almost 50 years and trillions of our tax dollars spent on public schools with nothing to show for it,
such comments are naturally to be expected. Actually, it's probably going to get worse.

Call it "racist" if your progressive little mind wishes, but the reality is that these "socially promoted" kids are doomed.

I interview such kids daily. An illegal teenage anchor baby from Nuevo Laredo is light years
ahead of the average product of JPS . Who do I hire ? .... The Hispanic kid of course.

Why you may ask ? Because they can speak & write better English than any JPS student.

They also have a work ethic

but that takes all the fun out it.

I believe black men hate what the black culture has turned into. Are they racist 1:39.

jeez, have you not heard the stokes speak? there's a ton of footage if you're interested.

here is some racism for you: years ago i spoke to the city council on behalf of a black client who was present. before it began we introduced ourselves to all present; i held out my hand to shake stokes', and he declined. he shook my client's hand, who later said to me 'that was embarrassing'.

I hope that New Orleans Bus Company
squeezes some serious blood out of the
Stoke's turnip.

I'm just glad "Mama Stokes" was captured on tape.
Better than a DNA test.

The reactions and Depiction of imagined conversations on this site demonstrate a blatant hatred of black people. Its shameful.

More righteous indignation from another anonymous junkie who can't stop shooting JJ up into their brain.

Who is this youngster who has not listened to a sampling of Stokes-Speak on television? Does she really believe somebody has to come up with imaginary conversations slaughtering the king's English while making buffoons of the speakers? Even improper English could be excused if the speaker were to make the occasional right decision. When hooked in tandem with bad conduct and moral failure, hood-English can't be excused. Sorry, intern.

Grammar is important. Communication is key. Why not tru to get over subject verb disagreement and point out the real issues is what I am saying.

White country people cant speak english...its not as pronounced but its there...and not a peep from you.

You can live in denial...but its obvious to all that racism is the overarching reason for your posts as Ive deliniated above.

people like stokes and lumumba show us daily that had the roles been reversed 60,100,200 years ago between whites and blacks they would have done the exact same thing that whites did to blacks so long ago.. they are racist no if ands or buts

How does "racism" enter the picture here when we are talking about illegal behavior that got someone inappropriately elected to the City Council? I think the behavior of this couple speaks volumes, and Kenneth was a blight and now his wife is. Is telling the truth racism? Not in my opinion. And nobody "made up" the language, the grammar and the ludicrous comments of this couple. They can take credit for that, and it is what it is.

When the stokes are involved racism Is involved

5:17 i think we agree. Point out the problems...stop making fun of how they may butcher proper englsh. Its easily done.

4:43-I want you to go back and re-read your post. And this time with a red pen. Hey to Donna.

I'm glad there will be a revote. I hope my fellow Ward 3 voters will educate themselves and realize the embarrassment she's caused for the short time she's been in office.

I've owned a home in Ward 3 for over 25 years. Do you know what The Stokes Twins have done to improve that Ward in all their combined time on the payroll? Not one, single, solitary thing.

@ Kingfish-June 8, 2012 8:18 PM

I’d call elections division at SoS office to verify, but here’s what I found on poll watchers in MS (listed below). Honestly, we would all appreciate you contacting Delbert and demanding that representatives from the SoS office be present at all voting sites for this election. It would be incredibly important with this election since it was overturned by a court of law because of the shenanigans. Quite frankly, wish you could be at all of the voting places.

From 2010 SOS Guide:
Check written credentials of Poll Watchers (Miss. Code Ann. § 23-15-245) and monitor Poll Watchers by using the following guidelines:
a) Every candidate (or political party in General or Special Elections) on the ballot has the right to have one (1) Poll Watcher present at the polling place to carefully observe the election and challenge the qualifications of voters.
b) A candidate representative must have written credentials from the candidate.
c) A party representative (only in General Elections) must have written credentials from the state/county party chair. Political parties may have two (2) Poll Watchers in General and Special Elections only.
d) A candidate or his/her Poll Watcher may challenge the qualifications of any person offering to vote or any absentee voter. His/her challenge shall be considered and acted upon by the Poll Managers.
e) Poll Watchers are not allowed to campaign or attempt to influence or persuade voters.
f) A candidate or his/her Poll Watcher shall be provided a suitable position from which he/she may be able to carefully inspect the manner in which the election is held.
g) Poll Watchers may be present at the public counting of the ballots.
h) Prohibitions of Poll Watchers include but are not limited to:
- Moving about the polling place greeting voters
- Influencing voters
- Interrupting the election process
- Distributing or displaying campaign material within one hundred fifty (150) feet of any entrance where the election is being held.

POLL WATCHERS
Can Poll Watchers or candidate representatives be present during the counting of ballots? Yes, they must be afforded reasonable space to observe.

Do Poll Watchers have to present credentials to the Poll Manager before serving? Yes, they must have written credentials from party or candidate.

Can a candidate serve as a Poll Watcher? Yes, but the candidate cannot have a Poll Watcher and representative present at the same time.

How many Poll Watchers can a candidate have? One (1) per precinct at any given time.
Where do Poll Watchers sit? He/she must be assigned a position from which they can view the election and challenge unqualified voters.

What can a Poll Watcher do to make sure the receipt books are properly filled out? Stand at a distance, but not in front or behind Pollbook or in any way that causes a disturbance.

Can candidates or Poll Watchers greet voters? No. (Miss. Code Ann. § 23-25-595)

Butchering the English language is done quite often, not only in Mississippi, but across the U.S. What is uncommon is when elected public officials with college degrees as well as law degrees do it as openly and routinely as the Stokes do. One can only wonder if the grandstanding theatrics and outlandish comments from the two are intentional to draw more attention and publicity, or are they simply (fill in with your choice of words)?

1:15 and I bet the law schools who granted them their degrees are SO proud......

Did DonnerKay give you a pass to leave the reservation?

Although the post @ 3:17 is rather benign and carries a version of my screen name, for what it's worth, I did not submit it. I always capitalize my own screen name and have no thoughts on what black men might or might not think.

Just making sure your paying attention shadowbean

Moople: You appear foolish enough using your OWN screen name.

Yep. *Sarcasm off* What difference does that make? I don't need anyone's permission to post anywhere. But if you're gonna get me to bad mouth her or anyone else at the JFP with no cause to, keep dreaming.
