Jackson Jambalaya

He’s a despicable cuss

So what's a General Assembly? Like a staff meeting? On a Saturday?

Yes, what is a “General Assembly”?

Wow he forgot to say he is a very stable genius.

Wow! Is Victor that shook up, threatening his employees and attempting to intimidate them, because they didn't show up for his dog and pony show ( On a Saturday)

Victor, can ya see your little grip slipping? Your employees don't like you, respect you, or even fear you. First the annual General assembly then the Christmas party.

Now your on the Federal Docket for August 6th for your sexual harassment cases..

Loving every minute of it..

SPOONER FOR SHERIFF!.

These boys better start looking for other jobs in 2 years.

This guys a clown. He makes himself out to be the next messiah.

Wow this will be a great exhibit in an eventual "Hostile Workplace" lawsuit.

I've been in law enforcement for many years and I have never read a more unprofessional letter from a department head to the staff. This is one of the weakest examples of leadership I have ever witnessed. I've never even heard of a department head using such tactics to confront what he would consider problem employees. Most of the better employees and leaders of the Hinds SO are long gone. Such a shame its come to this. Hopefully the election in 2019 will produce a more qualified sheriff for Hinds county.

Smells like . . . Figs.

Sheriff Mason my brother, I've had the opportunity to work for Mac off and on during his many years in office. It was known with Mac what you stated in this letter.To the members of the Department that's not loyal to the office of the Sheriff, shame on you! Just as any job, if you're not on board find another place to earn your money. I'm not a supporter of the present Sheriff and I don't live in the county. I've always been loyal to all the jobs I've held.

To you Sheriff, who ever went along with you sending out this letter, I would be looking at their loyalty! It's said that its come to this but respect is earned.

Mac was a kick ass, but fair. I'm sure you're a good person, but are your cut out to be a good Sheriff. Best of luck my brother.

Signed,

A former detention deputy retired and living happily in Lamar County

Since his “inception?” I guess a professional spokesperson is not in the budget.

When was Victor incepted?

It's very unfortunate that every firing from this point on, whether ordered by Justice or not, will end in a lawsuit. That loud sucking sound you hear is tax payers dollars, if there are any left, getting vacuumed out of hinds county by any decent labor attorney.

I know you agree as I am a good person and probably the best commenter any of you have had the pleasure of reading.

Asking employees to come in on a Saturday without paying them seems fertile ground for a claim under the Fair Labor Standard Act. It is time to do away with elected Sheriffs statewide. This is a joke where raging incompetents became little dictators.

Since his inception? That sounds kinda disgusting...

Vic...so you threw a party and nobody showed up, I'd like to remind you that sympathy is between shit and syphilis in the dictionary. Anyhoo - I agree with 6:44, a letter making veiled threats to your workforce is an amazing way to build loyalty and esprit de corps, and I'm sure this will sow even greater dissension and may even result in a few more lawsuits. By the way, nice job blaming the DOJ for you being an asshole - nice try.

And...if you have to tell your folks you're a good person and great boss - ya prolly not, just sayin'.

7:40 PM. If you think having the Hinds Board of Supervisors appoint the Sheriff rather than be elected you must want centralized county government which would be a worse disaster than we have already seen.

Let me see if I can disect this memo.

Mandatory; you can't make employees support you dummy.

Blatant disregard; sounds like Jackie Gleason.
Inception; who is this guy a stock or mutual fund, when you took office stupid!
Tried to do right? You either did or you didn't.
It's not personal; yes it was, when you and Pete Luke personally choose from certified deputies and forced from patrol and narcotics to work the jail.
I'm a good boss and pleasure working for? If you have to say it, its not true dumbass!
Your eyes are open; yournever there Victor.
Get on board or I'm coming to see you. Their gonna lie to your face to keep a job, just like you and Pete Lie to everyone to their face and they'll get you on election day..

Spooners Victory party won't be empty..
that I can promise ya.

The city water pipes are bursting and Antar is off partying in California? Do I have that right?

If the overwhelming black voter population of Jackson continues to elect clowns/crooks to the major offices they will continue to regress. At least the new mayor seems to be bucking that terrible trend. Thank Goodness!!!

And any man who must say 'I am king' is no true king at all.

Dicktor is a pathetic imbecile

He'll be lucky if he gets 10% of the vote.

Another Tyrone, one and done.

He'll be found guilty of his sexual harassment trial, more women are coming and the show will only get better.

Victor! Safe yourself the embarrassment in the public debates, because Spooner' s gonna eat you alive in those debates..

Stop now while your ahead, we're going to expose all you have done..

There are additional women just waiting to Victor..

Your a dumbass and a disgrace to the badge and the title..

You're done!

can you spell "paranoid"

FIRST: The letter is plagiarized. It was either written by Bufford Pusser or Buford T. Justice.

SECOND: He should have had corn dogs instead of Krystals at this event.

Many of the sheriffs department worked the MLK parade on the 13th. Others probably
were working off-duty. The rest just declined this non-mandatory event.

The city water pipes are bursting and Antar is off partying in California? Do I have that right?

Your basic Solidarity Economy at work. Jacksonians go without on numerous fronts while their mouthpiece Mayor jets off to Cali to rub elbows with the rich and famous who don't have a cotton pickin' penny invested in the city.

When BabyChok is Mayor, YOU are Mayor too, except when it comes to luxuries and other perks only available to the very special people.

Jackson's latest bourgeois charlatan is now exposed.

Would you rather him be here and micromanage Miller as Harvey would've done?

Get back on topic.

What an ego! I worked and voted for him, but I guarantee I'll work just as hard to defeat him. He talked a good game, got good officers from other departments to come to Hinds County with big promises of cleaning things up! Not only did he not follow through with those promises, he stabbed most of them in the back, refused to talk to them, was basically unavailable and put moral at an all time low! Then he has been known to try to blackball the ones who leave the department. Thank goodness the surrounding higher ups know he's a joke! Only a moron would put something like this in writing!!!!

As Ester Rolle that played " Florida Evans" on the sitcoms of good times would say, " damn, damn, damn!!!

Sheriff Mason go sit done with the Sheriffs in the progressive counties and see what they are doing. Advice is free, it's just how you utilize it.

We have a good Sheriff in Lamar County, I would start with him,

I’ve been an attorney for many years. I’ve never seen anything like this letter. I’m aware of the goings-on at Hinds County Sheriff’s Office. And, it’s not good. As he acknowledged, he’s lost many tenured officers for his poor decisions & lack of respect or concern for his employees. Mr. Mason, you cannot dictate respect or intimidate people into respecting you if you don’t give it. I had high hopes when Mason was elected. But he has proven himself incompetent on numerous occasions. Time for another change next election.

Victor! That letter, even if it was political suicide, took some balls to type. Everybody knows you are reading these comments. You better get in here and defend yourself. I'll bet you didn't even show up at work today. Give us something... your going down in flames and everybody is watching. The "dissenters" are watching. The only person that can stop it is you. Say something....

This letter will come back.

Harassment becomes unlawful where 1) enduring the offensive conduct becomes a condition of continued employment, or 2) the conduct is severe or pervasive enough to create a work environment that a reasonable person would consider intimidating, hostile, or abusive.

This guy couldn't run the dog pound! He is a total clown! I don't know how he was elected as sheriff, oh wait, I know! He ran against another clown and won!

@ Kingfish, 9:31, I don't see how remaining in Town and at the helm is "micro-managing". Danks was at the water plant and other places during the '79 flood. Ditto remained out of sight the Christmas we all lost water, and received great criticism for not speaking to the public. Unless the Mayor was out hunting for money to repair infrastructure, he should remain in the City during crises.

Looks loke I'm the beginning of his tenure and not so long ago, we use to have a few Mason supporters write in and comment, now..
Nothing!

Even his inner circle the last 6 months now know he's finished. If he'll do his best friend for 25 yrs in 8 months, he's now shown, He'll fire anybody.

Like most comments, it's now becoming comical and rhetorically entertaining each new screw up he jumps into. 2 more years, 2 more General assembly's, more rookies and veterans quiting and taking sides with Spooner..
This shit shows only going to get better and he'll still lie And deflect and continue to make himself look like the lieing,incompetent POS he always was and is.

Old JPD guys who started with him always said for 25 years, DON'T TRUST HIM..
Well, there ya go..

This is the kind of stuff horrible leaders do. How does this passive aggressive nonsense do any good?

Grow a pair and go fire the problem children, or shut your mouth and realize there's nothing you can do.

Hey Mason supporters ! Where are ya? Y'all use to jump in and comment.
Now your tired of the, "if I hear anybody mention Spooners name again, you're fired"

"If I catch anybody reading JJ, you're fired"

Scared of watching select people get singled out for BS. Now you see the real Victor.

Too bad Victor your lack of turnout at Xmas party and general assembly is just a reflection of your employees showing you, there're not scared of you anymore and damn sure don't respect you either.

There're gonna do the minimum to keep their jobs, tell you and Pete what you need to hear if asked and screw you at the polls.

We're coming buddy..

Victor is channeling his inner McMillin. Hey Victor the Ghost of McMillin called from Heaven he wants his personality back.

Victor Victor Victor, you are soooo DONE. OMG, please run this next election. Please, it'll be so much fun...for everyone but you that is...

Been watching you operate/oppress/screw up since you campaigned...Damn I must say you can really f@&k up. You are a complete tool. You have screwed the pooch worse than Tony Yarbor or whatever that loosers name is.

I've already got more resources committed to run against you than you ever had running against tywrong and not for the reasons you think either...I don't hate you Victor, haha, everybody hates you, especially after you conned them into letting you be sheriff...then screwed the very people that propped your dumb a@@ up, paid your bills, and kept you afloat, etc...

But, I digress...just please run, that's all I'm asking. Don't chicken out with some lame excuse because Pete Luke can't drum up enough money for you to run on...you just think the news coverage has been bad. Well you haven't seen anything yet....just wait untill we start advertising the real 'slick vic' and we let everyone know what just the few of us know right now...you'll be more fun than marrion berry

Spooner, I hope you run!!! There are a ton of us folks that used to work for Mac and a bunch of us that work for Victor right now that are going to be voting for you, along with our families, friends, churches, schools, fraternities/sororities and everyone else. Except for about 6 people that currently work at the sheriff's office.

Landslide for Spooner for sure!!! The citizens of Hinds County deserve better, and as you can see, the employees definitely deserve better.

@10:12 here again. Victor Victor Victor..... well at least sombody offered you the opportunity to come forward and clear your name. I hope you're in a really good hiding place. It's going to be a very long 2 years. Bet you'll reconsider what you send out department wide in the future. The dissenters aren't afraid of you and neither are the voters. Don't bother wondering if your employees are laughing at you when you pass by. They are...

Lee Vance for Sheriff!

Dilly, Dilly!

Still not one defending comment, come on now Pete, Brown, Shelly, anybody?
This is gonna be so much fun to watch, a Cival conviction, more law suits to come, then campaign time,then more women signing up.

Come on Victor, Run, we dare ya.

All your folks and anybody who supported you better get ready for your loss and we know who you are, start looking elsewhere now.

LMAO even the Jackson Fake Press is now ripping off JJ without attribution. Anything, huh Donner, to drive traffic over to your moribund website.

Lee Vance? We sure as hell don't need another JPD reject!

My goodness, is there anyone South of Madison Cty. and West of Rankin Cty. who has any common sense?

Rumor has it that Victor is getting rid of Pete Luke and going to put Lee Vance in his old spot.

No more JPD firees or retirees! Who is spooner? If he is JPD he needs to sit down to!

Vance isn't running, and not another JPD OR JSU or UMMC reject is gonna take office..

Tell us more about this Spooner guy?

He is white at that’s why he will never win

@7:37

Interesting..

Your going to eat those words.

7:37

Look at there, one of Victors folks perked up...
Lol.

It's inevitable folks, there's no rebuttal, Victor Masons done and these post will live forever anytime someone types his name in the internet.

His legacy, lmao..you folks are killing me.

Dilly Dilly is not (yet) as lame as repetitive mention of a fictitious cartoon character named Spooner.

Dilly Dilly for the win.

Great coverage in this morning's Clarion Ledger. Actually, word for word on what is reported earlier on this blog page. How farkin' lazy can you be and still get a paycheck at the Clarion?

Great coverage in this morning's Clarion Ledger. Actually word for word what you read here on this blog site two days earlier. How farkin' lazy can you be and still get a paycheck at the local newspaper?

The Clarion Ledger running this story is just more proof that Victors finished and the public doesn't respect him.

Good job Victor, you inherited Tyrones arrogance as Well And how did that work out for him.

I just cant wait till August when all the evidence is publicly exposed to all the public who's not really following.

Then you'll see ole Victorgo into hiding.

Kingfish the one spying on you is dalton who is over the jail in Jackson. She is the one he is going to put as administrator when he fires tRushing.. rushing won't do his dirty cover ups like him and Luke want. The letter he wrote was threatening Rushing and everybody knows it.

@2:15

I guess Dalton didn't learn from her being fired from JPD's Narcotics division for allegedly stealing a dope boys money, then asking all involved at the scene to chip in and give back the alleged missing amount, of course, everyone started laughing.

Shortly therafter, she resigned and started working for Victor.

As far as Pete and Rushings concerned, they've done enough bad for several people and their not going anywhere.
Pete's got too much on him and he'll just run to his next shit magnet, ole Dean Scott at Pearl P.D.

Dalton must be dumb as hell throwing rocks in a glass house, with her rotten ass dirty history.

Go on Victor! Fire them all !

i just don't get it.... Sandra Dalton never supervised anything in her career until she was hired by Victor 2 years ago and @430 is correct about her removal from the narcotics unit. That is a well known incident and placing her in the jail as an administrator is a dangerous move. Anyone who has worked at that detention center knows there are plenty of opportunities for dirty cops to make quick cash smuggling contraband. It would be hard to catch the head of the jail. Hinds county gets more screwed up by the day.

These old school JPD rejects always land on their feet. Ron Sampson was fired for sexual harassment and drinking on the job. Now he is Chief at Yazoo PD. A leopard can't change its spots. Hell he made the news yesterday. Dalton will have her own headline one day too. Kingfish maybe you should do a little digging.

MAC made a mess, Tyrowne played in it, Vic is re-messin

Damn! And Victor thought he could hire all these screwed up dirty ass folks and thinks he can get away with it.

Who you hiring next Victor, Epps's wife!

Lmao..Good Lord this is getting good.
Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.

Voters, should vet the candidates themselves. Victors tenure is a replay of Tyrone's reign with different players. The Hinds County Sheriffs Office should be the flagship of law enforcement agencies in the state. However, the voters continue to watch as a former JPD has been walked across the street and attempts to run a SO like a Police Department. It is comical and sad at the same time. Hinds County has become a joke for multiple reasons but the sexual predator, comedian wanna be,clown of a sheriff that currently holds the office is at the top of the list. Victor has never possessed the administrative, budgeting or planning skills needed to be effective as sheriff neither did Tyrone. I would like to see someone who began their career at the Hinds County SO, advanced as far as they could, grew their administration and management skills in the private sector and has proven themselves to be a trustworthy elected official who works tirelessly for his constituents step up to help Hinds County out of this debacle.. Maybe Constable Leon Seals?? This county could use his leadership.

Leon's not running, he's more than happy being Constable, working his own schedule and making more than enough money and not to have his name drug through the mud by inheriting those Raymond jail problems.

So many posts.....but so obvious they are all from the pro-mac (Victor) or anti-mac (Tyrone) crowd. Nobody but the deputies and former deputies give a rats butt to post on this topic.

OF course, HSCO is one of the biggest employers in the area.

Constables make far more money than the sheriff without nearly as much grief.

Really? Really? The event was nothing but a bunch of self-serving, self-awarding garbage! Basically they created awards to give out to people that didn't deserve them! They basically go awards for doing the job they were hired for! People like helen brown who got an award, and is barely certified as a law enforcement officer, she can't even fire a weapon! His step-daughter who is so incompetent she couldn't fire a weapon and totaled several patrol cars during training. Dalton got an award and haven't been in the job that long! The reserve commanders are the only people at the Department that have integrity! The reserves make up half of the force for the Sheriff's Office, and get the least respect!
