Jackson Jambalaya

The list of people and groups that will profit from the boy's death is long and wide. Most of them will use his smile and words like 'little guy'. That's all I will say about this.

Yes; The child's uncle so it 'must be' legit.

'Some church group' so it 'must be questionable'.

An aunt, so, again, gotta be the real deal.

A group out of Memphis which automatically sounds shady, right?

It's all in the wording. We can add an air of legitimacy (or not) to most anything, depending on how we phrase it. A funeral costs around $7000 or less. Four churches (pick any four) in the Jackson Metropolitan Area could raise that in fifteen minutes on Sunday morning.

Shame, people. Including relatives.

God rest his little innocent soul.

No offense, but sending them money is not the answer. It won't bring Kingston back. I view the family of Kingston no different than the three animals who did this. Leaving your child in the car the way she did, she may has well be charged for capital murder as well. Donate to the chosen funeral home and nothing more than what the costs will be.

What a bitter bunch of old bastards.

10:22 - Like funeral homes are honest. They're nothing but used car salesmen in suits who mouth the words, "I'm sorry for your loss".

Let me know if you ever hear a funeral home representative say, "Hold up. We've got it covered now. No more donations".

Was waiting for the likes of 10:29 to bust up in the room and paint all the realists as 'bitter old bastards'. As if she intended to contribute in the first place. Well, maybe a dollar at each location. And of course include the usual note: "Let me know if there's anything I can do".

Meanwhile: Some of us can actually spot a ripoff at 200 paces, even through a black veil.

I wish those who are harping on the fund raising had a clue of what funerals and burial plots and flowers for the casket cost these days.
Even obituaries are expensive.
I wish you understood that not everyone gets paid for lost work.
How nice for you if you have thousands of dollars saved and wouldn't have to borrow it with interest.
How nice for it if can pay for your food, shelter etc. with no income coming in or have relatives with money set aside they can give you.
That you all assume the loss of a child in such a horrific way is not traumatic says a great deal about you.
And, I think you all better start looking in parking lots and see how many child 5 and older are left in cars while their mother runs into a store.
Bitter judgmental bastards works for me.

I wish those who are

Just ran through Kroger... Didn't see any 5 year olds left in a running car by a parent who just spent the night drinking at a bar....

@7:36 Awesome, Judge Green took time out of her day managing the Catch and Release Program to post a poem.

7:36 ....nailed it

There once was a time where no gangster would ever harm the family of a rival gang or any children for that matter. It was an unwritten law. For these three animals to do this, it shows how far society has fallen. Secondly, for the mom to do this to her child, it shows how Planned Parenthood isn't funded enough!

"I wish you understood that not everyone gets paid for lost work."

I'm working real hard on figuring that one out. I reckon it means if you contribute to the funeralizin' you'll also be contributing to those who missed work for the funeral but forfeited pay for doing so. Gotta make them whole but I never realized they spread the money around like this.

I reckon we also don't know what a sandwich and cheese tray for fifty costs these days. Or Crown for a party of 55 mourners at the wake. Or lumber for the barrel fire. Or crab claws for 35 with a keg of beer. This shit is expensive and it will take a lot. And those old women in white dresses and white hats don't come cheap. You got choir robe cleaning too and the choir has to take off work and don't get paid either. Gotta compensate them. Shit ain't cheap.

And there's management fees and carryin' charges that rightfully be owed to those starting up a fund.

3:22 pm I'm happy to enlighten you as your lack of common knowledge is disturbing.
I was not referring to those attending to funeral to express their condolences.
Few employers pay for time lost at a job or hold jobs open indefinitely for those who lose time at work due to personal problems... even illness. They can't and don't have to do so.
The family of the victim will lose many days of work , not only to make arrangements, the funeral, but for the investigation and trial. I won't bother with trying to explain grief to you or tell you about the research on the emotional and physical effects of such trauma.
That you equate a funeral of a child with a party is disgusting. Even if you have been so fortunate as to not be responsible for burying a loved one, and don't have enough good friends to learn from observation, your lack of imagination is equal to your lack of compassion.

8:55 am You and others seem to believe some idiot posting on social media is giving evidence under oath.
Another, more reliable report that came from a family member who was actually there, is that the mother had been attending, with her child and other children, a family celebration. Some of the family had caravanned from the Kroger parking lot.
You don't even have Kingston's age right.
You are such an unreliable reporter that I doubt seriously you actually looked in every car in Kroger ( you can't always spot children in a drive by) and even if you had, you didn't know enough about raising children to have a clue as to when a mother would be most likely to have a tired,sick or sleeping child in a car.
Perhaps, you'd rather a sick child be brought into a pharmacy or grocery to expose others when a mother picks up a prescription or has to buy food for a restricted diet the pediatrician just ordered.
By the way, you probably sit in judgment on those mothers who drag tired and grumpy and sick children into stores as well.
Just because you are a simpleton, doesn't mean real life is simple.

The first police report said he was seven years old. Listen to the dispatch. It was later established to be six years old.

I'll stand by the report that she visited Last Call before she came to Kroger.

By the way, that pharmacy had been closed for hours and not just a couple.

Pharmacy hours are posted as 8:00 am - 8:00 pm. Also, conflicting reports about the purpose of the trip to Kroger, one to buy medicine (obviously could have been over the counter and not required the pharmacy to be "open", but other reports are saying to buy party supplies. So I wonder what the real story is?

"Another, more reliable report that came from a family member who was actually there, is that the mother had been attending, with her child and other children, a family celebration."

Who the hell has 'family celebrations' at 1:30 a.m.? I'll tell you who. A bunch of yahoos out clubbin' who leave kids in the back seat asleep rather than hire a baby sitter. Since when is the Kroger pharmacy open at that hour.

People supporting the family are desperately grasping at straws and none of it will work.

Ebony's birthday was Tuesday. She celebrated Thursday at Last Call. Left there to pick up kid, then went to Kroger to buy stuff for his graduation later that day. She was drunk.

The people who are defending her, I dare you to just leave your car in the Kroger parking lot running and unlocked at 1:30 a.m.

Have I missed something. If this so called "Mother" had been home like normal moms with kids that age, this WOULD NOT have happened!!! Is she a drunk, doper or just Jackson idiot? Makes me sick, those that can't have children pray for child daily. Hope everyday when she wakes up she burns in hell, she's the killer too. What's wrong with you people??? Hope Michael Guest gets their ass, we don't play in Madison or Rankin Co. we have the best!

12:57 - In your little scenario, you totally left out 'where' she went when she 'left to pick up kid'. Was he home alone? At a baby sitters? At his grandmas?

We all know he was already in the back seat of her borrowed, untagged, untitled car at Ebony and was probably killed at that location.

She was no more buying 'medicine' or 'stuff for his graduation' than the man in the moon was taking a crap at the stack on I-20.

This is the first I've ever in my life heard that solicitations for funeral expenses are also expected to compensate family members for missing work. And I guess that also applies to wages missed by what they call 'close cousins' and family coming in from Detroit. Gas money, lodging, food trays, hair-dresser, nails, corsages, new shoes and hat for all in attendance - Good God where does it end?

Holy Moley.....this whole demographic paradigm is so out of whack.

SHE NEEDS TO BE CHARGED AND SUFFER THE WAY THAT BABY DID BECAUSE OF HER NEGLIGENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The white woman who left her child in the hot car in Madison didn't get charged with the child's death. Michael Guest didn't do a damn thing about it. What's the difference? Both mothers were negligent.
