JPD makes changes at Precinct 4.

JPD is promoting Precinct 4 Commander James McGowan to the position of District 2 Commander.  He will oversee the operations in Precincts 3 and 4.  Precinct 4 Lieutenant Keith Freeman will be promoted to the rank of commander and lead Precinct 4 as well.   JPD Chief Lee Vance told JJ that he has not yet made a decision on filling the precinct lieutenant position.

I'm happy to see Commander McGowan getting promoted, but dang, I hate not to have him in Precinct 4 day to day. Looking forward to getting to know our new Commander and hope he is able to maintain the downward trend in crime. Thanks Commander McGowan for being such a great officer for us.

I don't know any of the players (recipients of Christmas promotions); but, I do know that with victory comes the spoils. Vance has earned the right to pass out promotions like Christmas candy. It's simply part of the fabric of the way we govern.

What does it matter? No one is going to do anything about crime in Jackson. Ever hear the old saying about the fox guarding the chicken coop?

Let's cut Chief Vance some slack. He has done one hell of a job trying to clean out the latrine. The problem is the doo-doo has piled up over the years and new stuff keeps coming. It's not his fault that Jackson is the cesspool that it is. He is only the pooper-scooper having to deal with the results of a longtime political and cultural decline. The po-po can't fix the underlying problems, they only deal with the aftermath.

Property crimes are down in Precinct 4. JPD does a good job, especially considering their pay and resources. To beat the dead horse one more time, the problem is in the Courts and the DA's office, not JPD.

God bless the majority of JPD officers. They are forced to play whack-a-mole with a wooden spoon. Chief Vance appears to be doing a better job than has been done in a while.

Back off, 5:15, please. Like other Precinct 4 residents, I am grateful for Cmdr. McGowan for being a great cop, but also for his willingness to communicate on social media with the people in his Precinct. We need four or five hundred more just like him. As for Chief Vance's distributing the spoils, it's fine with me if it means that he will continue to reward people like Cmdr. McGowan. Looking down the line, I hope that Chief Vance will run for Mayor. For one thing, he well knows that the cops are not the problem when dealing with Jackson criminals. The buck stops with the Mayor and the DA.

Please excuse me Mr. Burke. I forgot, for the moment, that your opinion and posts trump all others. Please allow me a pass.

Happy for Commander McGowan. He did a great job in Precinct 4.

Dear Prunes or Presents, I will look the other way just this once. :)

I like the phrase "trump all others." It has taken on new meaning these days.

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.

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.
