Argument Turns Deadly

JPD issued the following statements yesterday.

(#1) Jackson Police are investigating a shooting after an injured male arrived at a local hospital by private vehicle.  It happened just after 1:00 am this morning. 

Officers responded to the hospital where they found a 40 year-old victim suffering from multiple gunshot wounds to the upper body.  Officers were told that the victim had been engaged in a verbal altercation with a second male, which resulted in the two exchanging gunfire. 

The other individual involved is only described as a black male, last seen driving an older model SUV.  This incident is believed to have occurred in the area of Deer Park Street near Poindexter Street, however a crime scene could not be located. 

(#2) The male victim from a shooting that occurred earlier this morning has died.  He is identified as 40 year-old black male, Damien King. 

King suffered multiple gunshot wounds following a verbal altercation with another male in the area of Deer Park Street near Poindexter Street. 

A suspect is now known however, his name is not yet being released as investigators attempt to verify his identity and additional information about the incident. 

Kingfish note: This is the 84th homicide in 2018.

Exclaiming 'Yo Momma' will get you shot five times, every time.

We are slowly and surely peeling back the fabric of a civilized society. You can get killed in some American cities simply because of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Human life has lost all value. Personally I am going to leave folks alone and stock up on guns and ammo. They may get me but there will be bullets coming back their way. What a mess that we have let happen.

Tomie Green is already preparing her blessing for the suspect.

King. as you note, this is #84. Where do we stand on being the murder capital? Aren't we winning?

Seriously; Are there stats available to show where Jackson stands as a % of population when compared with major crime cities? That would be interesting (and sad) to know as we close out another year.

Today is the last shooting day this year. If Jackson/Hinds county hits the 100 mark will Tomie Green get a toaster or something?

Eighty-four. That is one out of every two thousand people being murdered every year in Jackson. Let that sink in. Where are the protests? Where is the mayor? Where are loudmouths like Stokes? Where is the outcry? This is awful.

Natchez has a murder for every 1,273 citizens. Jacktown thugs are falling behind.

Are you kidding ? Forming and conducting committees to make sure the police are "exposed" for shooting the hand full of thugs they kill every year take a lot of time and effort. The mayor et al don't have time to deal with the homies killing each other.

Uhh, there was just a Stop The Violence event held downtown. A lot are held throughout the year. I'm sorry you only pay attention to Jackson through the news and when you go to Pelican cove.

Downtown isn’t where a rally should be held. Shooters aren’t hanging around there. How about the medical mall or the zoo? Those rallies don’t draw Jackson “community leaders” because they know they could get shot.

Just a perception of a gun problem. No need to change any laws. This is the price we are willing to pay to be freely enjoy our guns.

Dear Melvin Robinson AKA The HoodHippie AKA Theca Jones,,

Do you honestly believe that a "Stop the Violence" event in downtown Jackson will have any serious effect on murder in Jackson?

What the hell has Pelican Cove got to do with anything Jackson? It's not within a nautical mile of Jackson. Roguish Gent must be on drugs.

On New Year's Day at 1:00 AM Jackson had ZERO MURDERS FOR THE YEAR. See, it really is a perception of crime.

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.
