This didn't make the Belhaven newsletter, but it took place the other night and is verified. JPD is told shots fired and takes 15-20 minutes to get there. Nice. Here is the message:
"As a follow up to last weeks email, it appears that a similar incident occurred this a.m. I woke up (around 3 a.m.) to multiple gunshots, a car screeching down my street, and a car alarm going off. Thankfully, a neighbor who heard a girl screaming grabbed his gun and went to help. That's what Belhaven is-a great group of neighbors looking out for, and taking care of, each other."
They called JPD, told them shots fired, etc, long response time. Nice. This is the second such incident in a week. The girl was pinned down on the ground with two guys on her. She got home late, when two guys out of nowhere attacked her. The neighbor fired several shots and they took off. My understanding is he didn't have a completely clear shot.

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?

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.

Why would it take longer than 50 seconds for a JPD blue and white unit to get to any point in Belhaven? This is unconscionable.
As much as I adored living in Bellhaven, I was afraid and had to leave. Something has to be done. It is so beautiful and full of history and character...Property value is still pretty high....
Our neighbor on Arlington was the subject of a home invasion. She was threatened and gave up her car keys. JPD finally arrived but could not enter the house due to "allergies". JPD bungled the evidence and 2 months later the stolen vehicle has not been recovered. JPD reported this as a "car burglary".
This wasn't Belhaven, but my 18 year old son was attacked during a home invasion in Fondren very recently, where a pipe was swung at him, but thankfully he ducked, hit back in the privates and grabbed the pipe and used it on the guy, then ran into a bedroom and locked the door. He called JPD after breaking a window to escape the home. He was very cut up, and ran to a gas station. A JPD car pulled up and he ran over and asked if he was looking for the guys. The officer was just getting the call from dispatch, 20 minutes later!
I'm sure nothing will ever be done about this.
@11:49--Why did he stop beating the guy? Would've been easier for the cop to find him then
Maybe the perpetrators were devout Amish types?
Lamumba is going to turn this around when he appoints Graham police chief.
This did not happen.
let me guess; average height/weight, 20-ish blk males?
Don't worry Belhaven and Fondren residents. This can be rebranded away. The metro area can be duped into believing that Jackson is suddenly, and inexplicably, safe again. Get your properties spruced up because buyers are about to come flooding in.
Where was this?
The cut and paste queen @ 2:37.
It is fortunate that Belhaven is getting that designation as a "historic" district (although not much there seems all that old to me) because otherwise, what idiot of a homebuyer would want to live exposed to the sparkli---er, the "elements" on the loose there? You could not pay me to deal with the potholes and potheads there, on a daily basis. It was lovely and charming in the 1940s; in 2012 it's practically a slum, in parts. But "localism" and nostalgia will probably carry it for a while...oh, well. Duck and cover, Belhavenites. And keep your Glocks loaded.
Heard there were four JA boys carjacked at gunpoint in the Popeye's drive thru on the Frontage Rd. last week. Didn't see that one in the paper either.
Jackson is a city of several hundred thousand people. There are going to be occasional incidents. In my view, this is an example of what is called availability bias. I have lived here for 20 years and never been victim of crime but that doesn't make for blog headlines.
"Several" means more than two. Jackson is not as large as your exaggeration. By most any comparative measure Jackson suffers from an above average frequency of crime not "occasional" crime.
9:37 is worried about his propt value....
jxn ranked 9th most dangerous in nation w pop. between 100k -500k. 24th in nation period.
availability bias, right... several hundred thousand? wrong. occasional incidents?? wrong. go hang out at UMMC ER late one night. or just do late night stroll in w. jacktown and you'll get a free ride there.
I should have been more clear in my post at 937. When referring to incidents I am referring to crimes against otherwise law abiding citizens. Sure, There are violent crimes in west jackson, but having spent 7 years in law enforcement my experience is that "most" victims of violent crimes are themselves generally up to no good, or somewhere they shouldn't be. It has never been my impression that the bloggers on this site where concerned about that section of the population. For those earning, there nickel by posting on behalf of the Madison County Chamber of Commerce you are down a fine job. Other than the story from KF, whom I trust, I question the veracity of these other anecdotal stories.
Oh, And regards to my property value, I have a gain in my house and people are building in my Jackson neighborhood, so I take that as a good sign.
It has never been my impression that the bloggers on this site where concerned about that section of the population.
Screw you. Your words based on supposed experience expose you to be the jerk ready to dismiss any, and all, victims in West Jackson to some sort of violent fate.
You are anonymous. Your truthfulness is equally questionable and definitely fair game.
I don't know the race of the female that was attacked. But unfortunately, I'm certain this happens daily further in the hood. Is this sort of behavior accepted by black americans to the point that the police don't care. Glad I don't live in TRONA. When a majority of blacks start caring about their own race, things will be different. So far, I'm not seeing it.
"Most"? Proof please! We're not idiots. Most violent crime in Jackson happens to people who AREN'T law abiding? Really? More than half of all violent crimes are committed on people who are themselves breaking the law? Really? And therefore, if you just behave yourself, you don't have much to worry about? Wow! Unbelievable.
Waiting on Mr. Kingfish to disavow racist crap and admonish the posters thereof…
Had no clue about the wiggles stuff. Let me take a look. Thought it was someone being funny.
Waiting on Mr. Kingfish to disavow racist crap and admonish the posters thereoo.
Or else what? You're going to brand KF a racist?
WHAT???? Ok, I JUST saw that video. Yeah, you damn right I'm about to start zapping. I'm sorry for those comments posted here. Someone's mad, can't say I blame them. They are coming down right now. Hope you got your laugh.
924. Ask any police officer or look at the arrest record of people who are shot or stabbed. Most people who are shot at 200 in the morning are not on the way to church.
So, 12:33, you're standing by the premise that more than half of all violent crime is perpetrated on those already breaking the law in some way? Or that we should all be at home and in bed by two a.m. if we live in areas such as Belhaven because it isn't a safe place to be at such an hour?
@10:19 - There is no "or else." I appreciate the more mature approach KF.
12:56/12:33--unless either of you has data beyond anecdote, STFU.
2:14, this is 12:56. I don't need data. I'm not the one with the premise. And what are you annoyed at? What are you trolling for? If this thread annoys you, then don't visit it. But have a great weekend!
Fellas, fellas.....calm down. Come to Madison County and play with our Boa Constrictors and turtles. We'll even roll some pineapples your way.
Golly law enforcement experience Sparky. Didn't see you post any data beyond your appeal to your personal authority.
Why do people still live in Jacktown. I don't understand what part of the city being a cesspool they don't get. The gangsta brothers own the city. They will never stop being in control. Just leave and let them kill each other. The only hope Jackson has is that the black on black killings will eventually rid the city of the thugs causing the crime to law abiding citizens.
I've seen more than a few references on this blog to the now infamous sparkling whatever. My question as to what that meant was a legit question as I had no clue in hell what the poster was talking about. I'd seen the reference on as many as five threads and thought it time to inquire.
I want to retract my bitter denunciation of Belhaven, which was too rough. I had just that day gotten home from a trip to the Jitney 14 (I know I know, love Greg McDade, but it'll always be "Jitney 14" to *moi*). IN BROAD DAYLIGHT, some scruffy smelly bro shuffled right up to me and said, "Gimme all yo cash". Without a by-your-leave! Didn't even say "please":):)! He didn't appear armed, and I was halfway into my car, so I just said, "Go to Hell" and jumped in, slammed door, and vamoosed. But it made me mad, and all the way home I was fuming, wondering why criminals have become so casual, almost laconic, when attempting their malfeasance. Why, indeed? They feel (correctly) that the JPD is probably not going to be patrolling adequately. And probably, too, the malefactors count heavily upon scared white women to just fork over their purses to avoid "unpleasantness" (or violent death). Unfortunately for me, I was born with a raging Irish temper, and will no doubt get myself shot someday, mouthing off to one of these worthless bums. So, despite Belhaven's manifold charms, many gracious residents, and some truly fine houses...well, you still couldn't pay me to live there. I love a twilight jog or stroll, and there, I might as well wear a T-shirt reading "Sitting Duck".
We who are afraid to die salute you, Belhaven stalwarts. Love y'all, but...you're better wo/men than I am, Gunga Din, and I pray that your beautiful neighborhood can overcome this real problem.
Claiming that "most" victims are themselves engaged in criminal activity is the tactic of Jackson apologists who have no other argument. It's just silly.
I don't understand why they wont just admit Jackson has a problem. It's nothing to be ashamed of. Many places have a problem with dangerous nuisance animals. In some places it's wild hogs. Jackson's nuisance animals just happen to be of the human type.
Let's not leave out the spoiled rich white Eastover boys who wreak havoc on a regular basis. I know a few who need some serious ass whoopins and a visit to juvie.
Wait a minute: another attack in Belhaven ? a home invasion in Fondren ? Attempted robbery at the Jitney 14 ? I thought last year's "JFP Crime Manifesto" would prevent such dastardly deeds.
Note to JA students - don't risk Daddy's BMW for a two piece spicy combo with an extra biscuit.
Those dang'd Ole Eastover boys are the culprit of all Jackson problems.
"Claiming that "most" victims are themselves engaged in criminal activity is the tactic of Jackson apologists who have no other argument. It's just silly"
--it might be a fact that you do not like, but it is still a valid fact nonetheless.
What was wrong about my JFP "Crime Manifesto" comment ?
4:25, again, please show us proof that this is fact.
4:25 reminds of the pollyannas who claim that Mississippi is losing population (and seats in Congress) because there aren't enough titty bars and daiquiri clubs in downtown Jackustan.
ophelia, if i were not married and deeply in live, i wd ask you to have coffee..
4:25 = moron.
Curt I'm thinking of pulling out my philosophy books on this discussion. "Of the human type" - I'm thinking a bit too much Darwinian thinking.
Darwin isn't covered in philosophy books. And, 4:29, there probably was nothing wrong with your post that didn't make it. Selective deletions are inexplicable here.
"Waiting on Mr. Kingfish to disavow racist crap and admonish the posters thereof… "
This sounds like the same broad who got offended on the andy gipson post ("Mr. Kingfish") crying to get comments deleted. Why is the inventor of modern jackassery bending over backwards to kiss this chronically offended person's behind?(at the old JJ, I would have said "ass" but "Mr. Kingfish" would ban my ass if I said it these days).
I also had no idea what this "silly wiggles or whatever " ment.
If it's racist, ( which it apparently is ), then KF is correct by removing it.
Until yesterday, I thought it was a reference to Les Miles & the LSU Tigers .
Seems it isn't confined to West Jackson at all. And no evidence of any wrong-doing on the part of inhabitants.
http://www.wlbt.com/story/19755257/north-jackson-house-shot-at-least-30-times
532. So you think the occupants of the house did not know the shooter and they were randomly targeted? I bet the investigation will reveal differently.
The car was stolen. Nice try.
I bet you blame rape victims too or think civil rights demonstrators were causing trouble and deserved what they got.
Ole 532 here. So, these folks knew the perpetrators too? I wonder what crimes they were committing when they got their stuff stolen.
http://www.wlbt.com/story/19775376/cneigh
I have lived here for 42 years...my entire life. For 42 years i have watched Jackson slowly collapse in on itself. These last 15 years have been the worst. I can only put it this way...Jackson has a virus. That virus is spreading faster and faster. Im not saying the virus is black people, no I'm not. Too many people pointing too many fingers and "city leaders" that don't lead. I dont know if there is a captain that can get this ship turned around now or not. I refuse to leave and i will protect myself and my family at all costs.
WELL I AM.
