Judge declares convenience store a public nuisance

The city of Jackson issued the following press release:


"Today, a hearing took place in front of the Honorable Chancellor Denise Sweet-Owens regarding the request filed by the District Attorney of Hinds County and the Jackson's City Attorney's Office to declare 905 West Northside Drive convenience store a public nuisance, as well as the placement of a preliminary injunction against use of the property. The defendants conceded to the issuance by the Court of a temporary restraining order/preliminary injunction from use of the property, and further agreed that continued operations of the property would further harm the citizens of Jackson. Defense Counsel, Dale Danks, Jr., stated to the Court that the property had become a "magnet for a variety of illegal activities", and the safety of the citizens of Jackson and their community is top priority. The temporary restraining order/preliminary injunction went into effect immediately, and will be enforced until further order from the Chancery Court of Hinds County, MS."

Kingfish note:  Mr. Desmond is moving into a property on Capital Street (between Farish and Lamar streets) .  He will supposedly open a bbq facility.

Ben Allen and his group better move quickly to keep that piece of trash from opening ANYTHING downtown. All it will take is for him to open to drive one of the last nails through the coffin lid of downtown.

What's wrong with downtown? You do realize a lot of people live downtown and many developments are happening down there. I swear you Jackson-bashers will find anything about Jackson to bitch about.

So . . . after multiple recent arrests, I’m assuming Mr. Desmond is still in this story because he’s bonded out on all charges ?

Is he really the owner of said convenience store or just a “manager” ?

Who was the Capitol Street store owner that started babbling at the local camera man & reporter to "get off my property” when questioned ?

Without a viewers guide, I’m really getting confused with the side story on the ‘Game of Thugs”.

Yep, plenty of people live downtown . . . in Smith park.

Our Supreme Court has high standard for declaration of nuisance. Case earlier this year out of McComb where Exxon had 84+ alligators on property next to landowner.

Court ruled the corporate-owned alligators were not a nuisance.

What was the point of defendants hiring Dale Danks only to have him agree with the public nuisance claim?

So, this band of miscreant roaches (estimated some nights at 200) will scatter now? Or will they simply 'cruise' at a new venue - Perhaps near Char on 55 Frontage or McDade's in Fondren or Krystal on North State?

What's wrong with a moratorium on any new or relocation of convenience stores. Oh, that's right, it would "infringe" on someone's civil rights. How come Rankin and Madison counties can do it. Maybe they don't want to put up with the hassle.

Desmond is already going to be a huge lift to Uncle Ben's PR efforts for downtown.

Last week this blogsite (and Stokes) pried loose the fact that Desmond is not an owner of this store, only a manager. Now it's claimed that he IS an owner, a co-owner. Was this blogsite correct last week or is it correct today?

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!!!
