Sources tell JJ both defendants pulled the "do you know who I work for" card when stopped by the police. Ms. Smith entered a plea of guilty for driving under the influence-1st offense. She was ordered to pay a $1,000 fine and $317 for court cousts. Ms. Horn is scheduled to appear in court on September 5. It is not known if Judge Green composed a poem in their honor.

...composed a poem in their honor... Well done, KF.
I am sure they will say it is a DWB deal.....wait and see.
Well, these two obviously made a mistake, and were caught making it. It is good to see that the police officers and court system of the City of Pearl apparently, so far, could care less that they worked for the Hinds County court system. We are all citizens of Mississippi and the United States of America, if we break the driving laws, or any laws, we should all be treated equally, regardless of socio-economics, class, status,race, religion, education, etc. Over 18, you are an adult, same rules should apply to everyone.
Rankin County is so RAAAAACIST with their race designation for these women as "B."
For anyone wondering what is being alluded to by the mention of the POEM... Kingfish is talking about Judge Green's sentencing of Karen Irby.
If you're new to Jackson, the Irby trial, plus the events leading up to it - and the events following the trial - will make for at least a month's worth of good reading. Much of the juiciest stuff is to be found right here on Kingfish's blog. MSM sources are good for the sadder, more tragic aspects.
Germane to today's topic is that many thought the Judge's imposition of a harsh sentence on Mrs. Irby reflected a certain amount of anti-White bias. As someone who has been menaced by speeding 'socialites' on Old Canton Road, I'm not sure the sentence is particularly harsh.
Here, at least one of those arrested seems to have been doing virtually the same thing Mrs. Irby was doing when her car veered into the oncoming lane, and resulted in the immolation death of two young resident physicians: SPEEDING WHILE DRUNK.
Just this Sunday, we decided that it's time for us to move our gym membership from our grand old gym in Flowood, to one closer to Madison. That's because of the drivers we're encountering on the way.
Even if we take the Spillway Road route (thus avoiding Hinds County), we are having to deal with people from Jackson (if you can't tell by the tags, or the occupants of the cars, you can tell by the deodorizers hanging from the rearview mirrors - if you can see through the window tinting...).
Jackson drivers, out for a little shopping at Dogwood Festival Marketplace, or a movie (Jackson lacks a movie theater, for predictable reasons), are making Lakeland Drive a little too hazardous.
Saturday, we were threatened at length, and nearly run off an intersection, by a Jacksonian in a Candy Apple Red Chrysler, who apparently understood neither traffic signals nor turning lanes. Maybe he had just been whipped to a frenzy at this weekend's ACLU/SPLC "Training Seminar". Or maybe he's just like that all the time.
I just wish there were fewer 'typical Jackson drivers' careening around outside Jackson. This article's arrests are probably pretty close to typical of what we'd just as soon not encounter while driving.
GD I have heard it all now. First everything about the city of Jackson sucks, now it is our drivers. Dayum some people are phucking OBSESSED.
Ok if we Hinds Countians, Jacksonians, or however you wish to refer to us, agree to stop driving in Madison or Rankin.....will you suburbanites agree to stop working and feeding off of our city?
They brought in the big gun to defend them. Must have been quiet in Canton.
6:11; Please describe in a thousand words or less how anybody 'feeds off Jackson'.
Who they baby daddy?
6:11 that's not really a fair deal for the people of Jackson for it is our "feeding off of jackson" that is keeping the doors open. Hinds county drivers and their "cars" on the other hand tend to endandger those of us trying to bring money into the city...
6:11 i'm sure that some of the people would happily chose to work outside of the capital of the new Afrikan Republic and take their $$$ with them. Maybe you can tax your downtown businesses out into the burbs too. That'll show them! Lol.

Apparently you guys are driving in to eat at our Mickey D's. You gotta cut that out.
5:50 PM, the driving is the MOST dangerous part of "The Jacktown Experience". Unless a person is home-bound, dealing with Jackson drivers is inevitable. Most other Jacktown problems can be avoided, with enough effort.
And if you'd ever known someone who's been in a serious accident, you'd know that the aftereffects of an accident can last for a lifetime. I know of one wealthy man with great insurance, whose car was hit by a speeding teen. His year-long death, despite the insurance, cost the family millions, dominated an entire family's lives during that year, wrecked his widow's health, and will leave his widow living the rest of her life in poverty.
I don't see how anyone can obsess ENOUGH, considering what's at stake.
A car has more capacity to maim and kill than do most guns.
From among the many shortlists including Jackson's drivers among the worst, I'll reverence Allstate Insurance's 2010 list, which placed Jacktown merely as 'Tenth Most Dangerous' in all of America. That's disappointing: but surely Jackson helped Mississippi get a big NUMBER ONE from Wallstreet24/7, on their Most Dangerous States for Driving list.
Oh, and 6:11 ... You'd be surprised how many people in the surrounding 'burbs DO NOT WORK IN JACKSON. The place is fast becoming irrelevant to a growing number of people. And considering that even Jackson State and University Hospital seem to be trying to establish beachheads in Madison County, the great institutional "employers" seem to be trying to escape Jacktown, too.
All the movie theatres are in Jackson. Right?
Interesting comments about Jackson and the views of driving/living/working there.
Funny thing is, if any of the vocal posters actually read the documents KF posted - you would clearly see and perhaps, understand the simple fact of BOTH of the 2 employees arrested whom both work in City of Jackson for a Hinds County Judge yet LIVE in (get ready, drumroll please) Madison and Brandon. READ the addresses listed in the arrest records people.
Anyone care to comment?

Ok, nice to see some of you picked up where you left off last week.
Now back to our regularly scheduled programming. Wonder what Judge Green will do since she said Mississippi is a "zero tolerance" state for drinking and driving.
More than a few judges I know would've fired that court reporter for either the DUI and resisting arrest and THEN trying to pull that "do you know who I am" routine.
Green won't fire her reporter. There are significant differences. A) Race B) Well, race is all that matters to the poetess. She'll protect her homegirl. Mark my words.
LaRita say 'We ain't got no elephunts up in here. Somethin' gotta be did'.
WAY funny! teach her to show her drunk ass in Rankin Couny! I hope that she gets a pan full of Pearl, MS hospitality!
11:53 pm--you just nailed exactly what should be watched in this case.
They both live in the burb's. Volume... start speaking.
Anyone that feeds off Jackson is chewing on a dead carcass…and there are plenty of jackals and vultures around for that!
The judge's court reporter is invaluable. Not many can type in iambic pentameter.
There was a story in the CL a few years ago about judge green getting a ticket for running a stop sign in Jackson and her trying to intimidate the JPD officer with the "Do you know who I am?" bit. I think it said she then even filed a formal complaint with JPD against the officer for treating her with disrespect.
Technically, since these fine ladies are residents of Madison and Brandon, don't we Jackson residents get to complain about these lowlifes stinking up OUR town???
Maybe we need some kind of a wall.
"They both live in the burb's. Volume... start speaking."
Que?
OK!
This reminds me of those newspaper stories coming out of England, where "Britons" are reported as having committed various heinous acts. Further reading reveals them to be first or second generation immigrants from distant lands, with names like N'gpglemele and Masbumpbeppe. Britons? Really?
And then, there was the "Finnish" man in the headlines, who shot-up the shopping mall in Helsinki (but was actually from Southeast Asia).
Those 'ladies' are still "typical Jackson drivers" in my book.
If you worked around, with or for Tomie Green all day, would you crack open a top as soon as you left the building, or not?
So they were able to take down the videos of their arrests? What is that about? How does public information get removed after FOIA request?
