Apparently, in this age of specialization, he focused his recent career on robbing just Mexican restaurants. Perhaps he should have branched out to Italian and vegan establishments.

this is the kind of criminal i wish we could just give 'bus therapy' to --a one way ticket to mexico and no money in his pocket...(he must love the food..)

Why only Mexican restaurants? Seems like discrimination to all other NON Mexican restaurants. What does he have against those fine businesses?

One of the unmentioned details of being a career criminal is that when you get caught, you get to spend time in jail and have free food, shelter and shower. Money for nothing and your chicks (he-ladies) for free!

Damn, it is Marshal Ramsey!

Mexican restaurants are cash-rich. They hoard the cash because they have to pay their illegal employees under the table and off the books before the true totals are recorded (see a recent story where ICE agents were busting restaurant workers).

True, 2:56 PM! And, what few realize, is that most of those establishments are used for MONEY CLEANING, by drug rings. A local politician started out investigating ONE restaurant of that type, which led to another, and (with the help of various agencies) revealed an entire NETWORK of those restaurants being used as fronts for other more lucrative (but illegal) enterprises.

Looks like your average funky Fondrenite.

That’s crazy I thought it looked like Marshal to!

Shame...1,000,000 bond...he could have murdered in Jtown and been out by now.

I think it's that mystery writer on this blog from Meridian. Oh well...we'll need another Sunday space-filler now.

I knew that Marshal’s hours at C-L had been cut back, but had not idea it was such a serious financial burden. O’l Runnie over at Mississippi Public Radio had supposedly taken care of Marshal with a radio show. Who knew that it wasn’t enough?

Well now we know why so many people get shot during robberies in Jackson and elsewhere by Jackson hood rats.
They can get out of jail much quicker if they kill someone during the robbery than if they just take the money.
Life isn't worth much in Hinds county. The amount of money that might be in the cash register is much more important than the lives of the people working there.

When in Hinds Co. you must always remember during your criminal acts...murder someone and get out or possibly not even arrested at all!

Warning to business owners and home owners in Hinds County: do not kill the intruder or you will be Wayne's next cell mate. I don't understand how Jackson, MS is not getting national news coverage for the implementation of a "black nation" that Lumumba and his dad have started. I don't understand how much racism can exist towards caucasians in America right now and so heavily in Jackson, MS and no one does a damn thing about it.

What a beautiful PC world we live in!

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.
