Jackson Jambalaya

I would hate it if my papaw died with a lady of the evening. How sad. Wonder if he was on Ashley Madison too. Those little blue pills are candy from the devil.

The death penalty best not be taken off the table. Those involved deserve to die.

You'd prefer him to be slumped over a wheelchair... drooling on the potted plant?

Kingfish, your articles are very helpful and informative but I think this touched a little too deep and has affected and tarnished this mans image with his family. Lord only knows what his grandchildren are thinking of their grandfather and this should have been kept private and not published. You have hurt some innocent people

Sad. How painful for the family.

Tend your own sacred cow herd 6:03 PM. Grandfather was human and living to be discrete unless you are indicating that his grandchildren, and yourself, are fiercely unforgiving.

Agree with 6 03.A time & place for
everthing

Facts are facts. We don't get to decide which ones are exposed to public scrutiny or which ones we might like to keep secret.

Kingfish did not 'hurt some innocent people'. When it goes to trial, who will you then blame for the testimony or police report becoming public knowledge?

If the old dude was porkin' a hooker, It's everybody's fault but HIS, right?

Every little detail will come out at the preliminary hearing in this case, and every TV station in Jackson will be there to report it. It's better if the family is prepared for what's going to be said.

One news truck was at RA earlier this week. Apparently a good bit of this info came out in open court this week. A spike in comments disclosing some of this info started yesterday and today. I found out most of this last week. I notified someone who knew the family fairly well last week because its going to come out- it always does when it is a homicide. It started crumbling when they named Shell as a suspect.

Wait a minute. Y'all didn't think she was a hooker until KF told you today? I assumed that from the beginning.

Of all the ways to be taken for the prevention of that great plague of mankind, Sin, there is none so rational and efficacious as to confute and baffle those motives by which men are induced to embrace it; and among all such motives, the heart of man seems to be chiefly overpowered and prevailed upon by two, viz. secrecy in committing sin, and impunity with respect to its consequences.

"... Be sure your sin will find you out."

Like it or not, you can't trust what that hooker says about him being a "regular" customer. They'll say anything as their collective a$$'s are on the line. It's not anyone's place to judge what shops the victim visited or what he did with his time. He was murdered and those arrested deserve the needle. Cedarstone sounds like a great place to raise and train little thugs. Residents knew this activity was going on and they chose to ignore it. They are no better than the prostitutes and pimps that do business there.

I feel for Mr Kendrick and his family. But no matter if your'e 18 or 81you need to realize that when you do business with these types you are always at risk ...for any number of things. Kingfish didn't embrarass Mr Kendrick, Mr Kendrick embarrassed himself.

Men need to think with their big head, not their little head. Regardless if you are 18 or 81

Oh, come on, holier than thou 8:17... Some people are grateful to be able to afford a 2 or 3 bedroom place on a school bus line. Some people have to live in apartments + its near a public bus line. It is management's fault that a vacant apartment was being used in this way, but it certainly is not the fault of the children who have to live there and many times not the parent's fault that the economy is bad and the outlook for black employment is worse. You would be a greater benefit to mankind if you said a prayer for these children instead of saying they are no better than criminals.

@ 5:51

Right on !

I hope my last breath is taken doing something I enjoy !!!

Screw the nursing home!

No, of course PP, you are all-seeing and all-knowing. I would have gone over to your gig first to get the real scoop but you've never given us the URL.

What's the "disturbing material"??

I was thinking the same thing. As, apparently, you were, too, 9:06.

The Matriarch of our extended family is, right this moment, being kept alive, against her will, in a nursing home. She desperately wants to die. She can barely communicate - can no longer even move her hands. She is in constant, HORRIBLE pain, and completely aware of the horror of her existence.

She's lived a completely virtuous existence, and has been a model of generosity, seemliness, and prudence. And her reward? Years of unspeakable agony are her reward.

Being shot by a hooker seems infinitely preferable to being slowly and PAINFULLY eaten-alive by bed sores.

9:00... who said it was wrong to live in an apartment or for that matter a trailer.. I didnt.
"It is management's fault that a vacant apartment was being used in this way"...What's the excuse for not filing a police report, calling the the management company, or telling the City Council. "It's certainly not the fault of the children who have to live there"...kids were never blamed...the parents were and their attitudes. "the economy is bad and the outlook for black employment is worse."....Gimme a break! Those Mom's have just as much chance to get a steady job if they choose to dress conservatively, take off the body piercings, cover the tatoos and speak clearly, without using eubonics AND show up everyday on time.
"You would be a greater benefit to mankind if you said a prayer for these children"....the kids do need prayers. How come their Mothers choose to live with a boyfriend instead of saying, "you want me, marry me and together let's get out of this place." Those children know nothing about a stable 2 parent life. All they see is single moms, aunties and cousins having babies and nobody tells them it's wrong. If you're single, have one child and have to live on a HUD voucher, SNAP and Medicaid, why in the hell do they insist on having more children. Those mothers are just plain stupid and have no respect for themselves, so how do you expect their kids to grow up differently. The adults have to change.

Wow @2:53 am. You do know white people do this, too? Having a baby out of wedlock used to be shameful enough, where if you did it once, you most certainly tried NOT to do it again.

Now, when a single woman, (black, white, whatever) gets pregnant, it's a big happy event, with baby showers and baby bellies all over instagram and twitter. No shame whatsoever for choosing to raise a child with odds against him/her from day one, and/or telling the world the child will be born out of wedlock.

Now, back to Mr. Kendrick, this whole story is just sad, but we may never know the entire story, nor are we entitled to.

What is the Dream Room? A strip club or a bar?

I'm very sorry about the older man's death and for his family, but now or later this all was going to come out. This information above is already on the street. I heard this a few days ago not from law enforcement, and honestly was not surprised once I knew the woman was a known prostitute.

Uhh, 7:49 is this better? "Those black and white Mom's have just as much chance to get a steady job if they choose to dress conservatively, take off the body piercings, cover the tattoos and speak clearly, without using ebonics AND show up everyday on time."

7:49- YOU are the one bringing race into the issue. Not one word in my comments could be construed as being geared toward one race or the other. Now if I told you to pick your pants up off the ground or spoke of the intentional lack of diversity at 2 Jackson colleges...that could be considered "profiling." BTW: the prostitute is white, with tatoos.

Might be of interest as to which jurisdiction prosecutes them. Although seems that the killing occurred in Hinds, the conspiracy arguably began in Rankin. Do you forsee a battle between the two counties to get their pound of flesh from the culprits?

As a former assignment editor for a local TV station here in Jxn, we had an obligation to report what the facts were without judging and also trying to be sensitive to the needs of the family as well; it's tough at times. I will say that I am a P.I. now and you would be surprised as to what I see and have seen on a daily basis, you never know what someone is doing or will do because they have no idea they are being watched....
