Shooting victim slowly recovers

Shooting victim Jason Brent continues to recover at UMMC although the road is long, painful, and tough. He was shot during a robbery at Battery Sales & Service on West Fortification Street.  His family posted these updates on their public Facebook pages:


Jason has had a good day today! His pain isn't as bad so that's great! Physical therapy came around and got him up to sit in a chair for about an hour! He did great but got tired fast! Thank you all for your continued prayers!! (June 18)

Just visited with Jason Brent. His voice is stronger today. He is dealing with pain, nausea, and the after effects of being under anesthesia and in the ICU for 10 days. Please pray that Jason will feel God's arms around him giving him peace and comfort during this time. Pray for complete healing. Thank you for the prayers!! (June 16)

 Today has been a good day- Jason got off the ventilator and has done great all day! He's been in more pain since he is totally awake now. When I left tonight at 9:00 he was a little frustrated and said he had a long day and was tired. Please pray for determination for him, that he doesn't get discouraged because he has done so well, pray for comfort because he can't get comfortable in that bed right now, pray for peace that he can rest tonight, pray for strength in the coming days! Thank you all so much for the prayers and thoughts that have already been said. Jason is definitely a miracle (June 15)

 They placed a chest tube on the left side to relieve fluid from the chest cavity. 800 cc came out immediately. Hope it will help him to breathe better. Will let him rest this afternoon. Will try to take him off of ventilator tomorrow. Thank you for the gift!! Thank you for the prayers!!! (June 14)

 Where we are this morning : Jason's chest tube is on the right side and his right lung looks great. When they took his chest X-ray this morning it looks like he has pulmonary effusion on the left side. They are going to do an ultrasound to get a better idea and maybe have to put in a small catheter. They are SLOWLY weaning the vent but if there is fluid around the left lung, then it will be a slower process. Otherwise, he's doing good and resting right now. Pray that whatever they find on the ultrasound is an easy fix and doesn't add to his pain. Pray for comfort and calmness for Jason as he gets a little panicked at times when he wakes up. Thank you all for everything this far. Can't believe we are on day 9 of this journey! Much love to you all (June 14)

 Jason will have his 4th surgery sometime today. They will check his injuries and hopefully close his abdomen. After surgery, they plan to take him off of the sedation medicine and start weaning him off the ventilator. Please pray for Jason and the medical staff today. (June 12)

The family has set up a Gofundmepage for those who wish to help.  The victim is an Army veteran. Lorenzo Hemphill is charged with aggravated assault, business burglary, convicted felon carrying a concealed weapon, and probation violation.  He currently resides in the Raymond Detention Center without bond.

The sad part is judge green will probably free him. Everyone needs to strap. Better to be judged my 12 than carried by 6. Praying for you brother. #jacksonshithole

Thanks for updating us. This certainly was not a victim-less crime. Too bad we can never truly measure his and his family's pain and suffering and that they will probably never see a dime for this time; only be rewarded with his life. Hope the perp gets life without parole. I believe we saw a video of this cold blooded assault.

Judge Tomie will sentence Lorenzo to a couple months of anger management classes so this won't happen again.

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.
