Why we can't have nice things reason #___

Update: There were several more burglaries from Renaissance to Highway 51 in Ridgeland earlier in the weekend. Police sources say the same thieves who committed the Renaissance burglaries today are suspects in these as well. There were three similar burglaries at businesses on Highway 51 on Friday night and five more at The Township on Highland Colony Parkway late Saturday night or early Sunday morning.  Video from the security camera at Donut Palace is posted below.

The Ridgeland Police Department issued the following press release:

Monday, January 16, 2016 approximately 2:15 am, a Ridgeland Police Department Officer was performing business checks in the area of Renaissance located at 1000 Highland Colony Parkway when he discovered shattered glass on the front door of the business. Investigation revealed this business was burglarized and subsequent checks of other retail stores in the area resulted in the discovery of another four (4) businesses with shattered glass. Ridgeland Police detectives were notified and responded to the scene to process for any physical evidence.

The businesses were located on the north end of the retail area and at this time the particular names are being withheld due to the active investigation. Ridgeland Police investigators are conducting a thorough investigation and analyzing physical evidence which was collected from the scene. Additional retail establishments are being checked for any other leads which may assist our agency in identifying a suspect.

The method of entry into each of these businesses is believed to be prying on the front entry doors causing the glass to shatter and once inside, the suspect is targeting cash. Investigators are working with the Madison Police Department to compare recent cases for similarities in helping identify a suspect.

At this time, these are active investigations with limited information available.

1) What about alarm systems? Impossible to believe four or more businesses in this upscale venue do not have alarm systems.

2) Cue calls and posts from all the whining milineals claiming they work in the area and nobody has called to comfort them or checked on their emotional state. Is counseling going to be offered since this is a holiday?

Madison county is just too dangerous now. Where are we supposed to live??

BUILD THAT WALL and make Jackson pay for it! Time to keep the undesirables from Jackson out of our city! A Hinds County plate should be probable cause for a traffic stop. Harass these people until they leave.

Gene needs to make everyone buy security cameras.

Well, we know they didn't target Barnes and Noble.

Seems like Chris Rock said something about books and kryptonite.

I for one am glad it's moving north.

Questions for the champions of Jackson (that have all been asked before):

How many of you live in Woodlea or Lake Hico or Presidential Hills?
How many of you shop at Westland Plaza or Metrocenter or Mart 51?
How many of you have dinner at Ellis' Seafood or the Purple Diamond or Flap's Hot Tamales?
How many of you have picnics in Battlefield Park or ride your bikes down the sidewalks of West Street?

So before you crow about how dangerous Madison County is (yeah, right), look at yourself and ask if you're only bragging about the white parts of Jackson.

Well, Derrell Ray at 12:30 PM, please explain why you would wish theft and vandalism on anyone in any direction.

"...names are being withheld..."

How difficult is it to ride through and see which business are taped in yellow. Top secret shit.

PS: Renaissance security and employees know which businesses don't have alarms. Still it's unbelievable that some did not.

And what about that counseling?

Looks like Willie Sutton had a point. For those younger than I, Mr. Sutton was a serial bank robber. When asked why he robbed banks, he answered, "That's where the money is."

Apocryphal, probably, but the point is made.

The Clarion-Ledger reported names this morning: "The break-ins were reported around 5 a.m. Among the stores are Aqua The Day Spa, GNC, Justice for Girls, Merle Norman and White House/Black Market."

I told everyone this was coming---Jackson Mall, Metro Center, Northpark and right on up to the Renaissance and all points north.

It can not be stopped---it's like terminal cancer. I truly believe we have not seen anything yet. It is going to get worse.

Some of the businesses had money in the cash register. Who does that? Some businesses either didn't have an alarm or it didn't work. One had fake cameras.

Too bad these stores weren't owned, operated or managed by a Wayne Parish type. People are getting tired of this crap.

Madison County is spiraling down fast. When the Costco arrives, I'm afraid it will be the Jackson Metrocenter part 2

It is only a matter of time before the Old Canton apartment dwellers and Jacksonians figure out Dinsmor is right down the road.

Madison is on a slow downward spiral... Anybody with a high school diploma knows white flight is always followed by downtown revitalization and gentrification. Only the suckers in denial end up with underwater mortgages spending tons on gas for crazy commutes from the burbs... Just wait until oil prices go back up.

This explains why Jackson's crime rate is down. It done moved to Ridgeland.

Except for the donut shop, the stores were mainly women's clothing and accessories. Either it was men breaking in for the articles to sell to stores in Jackson who need stock or guys who want to dress as women.

Sounds like a bunch of Madison county snowflakes in here.

Several stores in Canton were hit last week on the frontage rd in Canton. Ladds, Buck shop, the furniture store. They came back two days later and tried again.

Robbing a place that caters to deer hunters in Canton? Wow! Makes as much sense as robbing a gun store staffed by two white men.

A deer processing place obviously has people wielding knives and a few with high powered rifles within easy reach.

Hello, Gluckstadt....

Gluckstadt is the new Pearl if they don't ratchet up incorporation efforts. Take a look at Gluckstadt Road. Krystal, truck stop, sonic, gas stations every two hundred yards, Burger Doodle and swing around the corner and you have Mexican stuff, two or three places that are closed and reopened every month and trailers selling crawfish. All they need up in there is a check cashing place, a screened-in smoker selling BBQ and maybe a tattoo parlor.

Grand opening next Week! Come see us at Gluckstadt tatoos.

Never fear, 10:12...the 'pink panty' crowd will congregate west of the interstate and you can't come over there. Then they will wonder WTF happent.

I was one of the shop owners who got robbed. RPD did an excellent job and much better than the experience I had with JPD...but I'd hate to be JPD because they have a very tough job. We were up and running that day. Being a small business owner is tough, especially during the Obama years. I saved money for 30 years to buy it and nothing will stop me from being successful. We prayed for the burglar and I forgive him and will let him know Christ loves him. Here's the lesson-learned. If you have an older security system get rid of it and buy a Cloud-based system. Both home and business. Recommend Arlo Pro. Sets up easy, wireless with a router and you can monitor on your phone. No matter what they steal it's on the Cloud.

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.
