Apparently some people are accusing me of posting the name of the JPD detective killed today at JPD headquarters before the family was notified. I will attempt to put those doubts to rest right now. A very reliable source provided his identity. I was told the family had been notified. I have since learned his family members either worked for JPD or were retired from JPD. I made the decision to publish the identity. There is NO WAY IN HELL I would have published his name if I thought for one second the family had not been notified. PERIOD!!!
This website supports law enforcement and has many friends in the law enforcement community. I have been critical of law enforcement at times but do not think for one second I do not appreciate our police and all that they do for us. They protect us, put up with our bitching, put their lives on the line for us, and do it all on pay most of us would sneer at if offered to us. Cops in the Jackson area lost a friend, a comrade, a fellow warrior, and yes, a loved one today. Just as they suffered when Pearl suffered last year, so do they suffer now. The police and the Smith family need our prayers and support right now. They are not robots. They are human beings with feelings just like the rest of us. There is also a Mayor's race right now and politics aside, don't think for one second the Mayor isn't grieving for his man today.
Having said that, that hasn't stopped some people such as a certain "publisher" who has a vested interest in destroying this website from making up things and hurling false accusations at this website. I think the word is "opportunistic". We've had our sparring over the years. However, she displayed her usual lack of maturity today as she just had to go after my advertisers and sponsors. Really. That is the difference between us. Mississippi needs more, not less media. If her publication can succeed and do it on advertising, more power to them. I don't wish for them to go out of business. Never have. Never will. I don't care for the Jackson Advocate. Think I want them to go out of business? Hell no. The more media, the merrier in Mississippi as for as I am concerned. You won't see this website calling for boycotts or spotlighting sponsors. Unfortunately, we can't say the same about her. She instead chooses to attack, attack, attack. She won't debate, she instead wants to run those with whom she disagrees out of business. Well, those of you who are familiar with the ethics and body of work on this site can decide who is right. I'm not going to tell you how to think but instead ask you to judge for yourselves after I present my side.
Once again, pray for JPD and the Smith family.

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.

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.

Keep up the great work, Kingfish! That old biddy is just jealous because you are successful.
Sure do appreciate all you do!
Never doubted that. As the son of a JPD officer from way back, and a fellow grad of Callaway HS as was Detective Smith, I am truly saddened by this whole turn of events.
I never doubted you for a minute, KF. The thought that the family had NOT been notified never crossed my mind until the slander started. The delusional biddy is beyond redemption or rehabilitation.
If anyone only knew the work that goes into this blog, one would be amazed. Well, maybe I'm giving too much credit. ;)
It is a one fish show and a lot of dedication to the readers.
Let us not allow the few silence what is a gift to all of us, a respite from the madness otherwise know as... [Please Fill in the Blanks].
Officer Smith I beg the Lord you rest well.
A terrible tragedy has taken place that affects many in a terrible way. Few facts are known.
I do not know whether to be more shocked and saddened by the loss to the community or by the reaction of those members of the community who have chosen to use these early hours as an opportunity to criticize, speculate,and play politics.
The lack of empathy,compassion and respect for one's fellow man is disgusting.
My condolences to Det. Smith's family, friends and colleagues. May your grief, in time, be replaced by the joyful memories you made with your loved one, friend and colleague.
I pray that others will not add to your grief but will find ways to give you comfort.
The Jackson Free Press has a history of pouncing on other news feeds to try and belittle their work. No worries, your blog is impressive and Jackson Free Press should be ashamed of such slander. It looks bad on their part to point fingers, to try and get ahead, during such tragedy.
Bottom line, the Harpy reads JJ and sees JJ as competition. It doesn't take a license to do journalism nor must one attend a journo school to have an impact. She's an absolute control freak and knows that JJ has captured a substantial market share of online eyeballs. So instead of improving her product in order to better compete she attacks the personal character of others. She'll never change because as an ideologue she is incapable.
get a life complaining people, the name was all over facebook long before KF put it out. Maybe is Donna had any friends that knew anything or the truth about things anyway, she too would have had the name.
It.is.really.simple.
Donner.doesn't.want.people.going.to.Jackson.Jambalaya.for.breaking.news.
Donna.do.you.remember.this.installment.from.the.continuing.series.Pot-Kettle-Ladd?
"Can we say tasteless? Once again her hatred for all things Melton leads her to write a very irresponsible story which she later admitted was based on unconfirmed information. It's pretty clear she means Melton is about to die and decides she just has to scoop everyone else in town."
I thought the State Tax Commission shut down the fondren freak show when they didn't pay their taxes.
What am I missing? I went to the JFP site for the first time I a couple of years, and I saw no mention of this.
Anytime i want to feel normal and thankful for not being a weirdo, i go down to Fondren and look at people, espcially the hipster (unemployed) crowd on the porch of Sneaky Beans. Gross.
Did you expect anything less from Ladd? She is a megalomaniac. She is the petulant, whining child making a fuss in the fancy restaurant trying to make everyone focus on her while everyone around tries to ignore her and enjoy their dinner.
When the story should have been about a Detective being shot and killed at JPD HQ or how or why it happened, the JFP storyline on Facebook was how better people Ladd and her sycophantic disciples were a much more respectable news source because they follow journalistic standards... well, ok, the journalistic standards that fit the razor thin breadth of their narrative.
Even now, as she reads over the shoulder on an intern she is helping the intern read and sound out the words of this comment, she is getting a tingle in the area where her soul should be cause someone is talking about her.
Jackson and Mississippi would have been much better off if she would have never returned from New York, but then again, if she hadn't returned, who would shame us for our evil and unwashed and unlearned and basally racist ways?
A police officer has died and before his body is in the ground, this becomes about Ladd, Fondren, and our Governor tries to make political hay!
Libertarian, if you have to go to Fondren to "feel normal", you aren't!
" Normal" people don't have to look down on others to feel comfortable in their own skin!
Interesting that KF never, ever culls a post critical of his nemesis. He lays back and revels in it.
The DonnerK crowd slanders KF, he defends himself and the DonnerK crowd makes accusations of making "political hay."
Maybe this is why "JFP" and "DonnerK" have become synonomous with "screwball nutjob."
Save your scorn 4:54 as the first salvo was launched by the Harpy. If you have a complaint, take it there.
Maybe this is why "JFP" and "DonnerK" have become synonomous with "screwball nutjob."
DING, DING.
We have a Winner!
I don't care who launched the first salvo.
And, just because someone else is wallowing in the mud, doesn't mean you have to get dirty!
Holy Crap. Now Graham is masquerading as a police officer to squeeze out some pub for himself off of Eric Smith's death. PATHETIC.
