Look at their bond compares to a murder in Jackson. Ha and these clowns will get serious time here. But citizens of Jackson y’all keep putting these crooked judges and politicians in office and you will keep getting what you get.

Still have never heard of this park in the hood west of the railroad track. This may be Ridgeland, but the behavior pattern and demographic speaks loudly of Jacktown. Prove me wrong.

Naturally Kingfish will rail at this reality.

Looks like Kingfish just let you show off your ignorant racist ass. Just remember that there is a place in hell for evil racists because Jesus sees all of us as his beloved children.

Go to hell bigots!

One more example of lives being ruined. Those charged may well end up being charged as adults. I hope this is the case.

What kind of culture places such a low price on life and such a high price on "getting you back", or "he dissed me" ? I'll tell you what kind of culture does this: The black culture. Why does this happen? I don't know, but it is out of control.


More children killed and more lives ruined.

Who you calling a “bigot” , “bigot”!

That area behind Prassel Lumber across the railroad tracks may be in Ridgeland, but enforcement has never been to that part of town. Junk cars everywhere, shade tree mechanics in every garage. For some reason, it's just whatever.

Ridgeland is lost!

We all hate to see this happen but I am glad it happened in Madison County because atleast justice will be served. Judge Green suck it

6:16 I like millions of other Black men was raised by loving parents who taught me to fear God and work for whatever I got. I went to Black schools (because of segregation), I went to a Black Church, and I have lived in a predominantly Black community. Members of my community have fought and died for this country, pay taxes, and do the best they can. My "culture" is not
to shoot anybody. Your best statement was, "I don't know,..." Leave it at that.

Does anybody remember when Hermit King or someone commented about these thugs having AR15 shootouts and drive-bys and a bunch of you all said he was crazy?

Well that guy looks like he is holding a AR15 to me.

The mayor of Ridgeland needs to quit riding his little bike all day and pay attention. Ridgeland is fast becoming a ghetto.

Anonymous said...

No, Ridgeland is not 'becoming' a ghetto. This is just the ghetto being ghetto. The southern-most mile and a half of Ridgeland apartments and porch-dwellers has been ghetto for years. It's called ghetto-creep. And the courts won't allow the mayor or anybody else to change it.

So the metro now has 17 year olds possessing assault rifles? How is this even possible? Access to these weapons must be far to easy.

Anonymous said...

Our nephew knows of Tyler from Ridgeland HS. Tyler is one of the campus gangsters/bullies, and the staff look the other way, because they can't be "prejudice."

Branch is singing like a canary.

That is not an ASSAULT RIFLE, which are fully automatic. Quit drinking the anti-American kool-aide supplied by MSNBC, CNN, etc.

That's a police officer with the AR-15.

I respectfully believe that you are mistaken. That gunman has his jogging pants hanging low enough to expose his underpants. Unless he is undercover, i dont think Ridgeland PD dresses so casually.

Rod Knox said...

Why is there such a "touchy-feely" relationship with wannabe assault rifles 11:15? Years ago many of us called them Mattel 16s because they were so cheaply made of pot metal and plastic.

To 9:07 p.m., thank you for posting that. I tend to forget that there are a whole lot of folks who don't make the news.

Burke said...

Thank you, 9:07 PM. I wish your comment could be displayed permanently on this website. With the continuous racist comments turning up here, those readers who are unprejudiced (or mostly so, since no one is completely unprejudiced) could save time in responding by simply referring to your well-chosen words.

Blessed are the peacemakers.

I did not know about this 'park', so I searched, it is not a park, very unattractive and small. From pics I could not see sights on the carbine? these underage lads use what they stole, ammo that came with the firearm. cold blooded murder, motivated by the law of the neighbor. Good job having a trail camera out.

The only thing ridgeland has is the township the rest is crap

Calling Me Racist is Tired And Meaningless.. said...

Not sure why the Kingfish decided not to allow this post, but I'll try again.

It baffles me that Burke and others throw around the 'racist' accusation like it's beads in New Orleans. There is nothing racist in pointing out reality. It's real that most of the young thugs in Hinds and Madison Counties are black youth. It's real that most of the thuggery is black on black crime, shooting each other and whuppin' each other. It's real that we have not (to my memory) had one example in modern times of white youth carrying these weapons and shooting at each other.

What the hell is racist about pointing out those realities?

Calling people racist twenty years ago would shut them down. That's no longer the case.

“Definition of racism
1 : a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race”

So, assuming that not being “thuggish” is considered a superior trait, then yes, that was racist by definition.

@8:44 AM - You need to get out a map. It's "Colony Park," which contains:

Renaissance at Colony Park
Township at Colony Park

I know that it's tough composing sentences from S. Jackson with the gunfire and all.

Poverty and ignorance is what leads to this behavior.

Poverty expands when those who have remove themselves from the equation.

Whites with jobs and money fled Jackson to Madison. Whites ran Jackson into the ground never repairing infrastructure.

Now that Jackson has no serious tax base it’s easy to point at Jackson and say “blacks ruined Jackson” but thats totally false. White people abandoned it and left it with no money.

The solution is combining area public schools and actually integrating. It’ll be painful for a few years but over time the state will improve as a whole.

Whites ran Jackson into the ground never repairing infrastructure.

If they left how'd they run the city into the ground?

Anonymous said...

@9:16 6/24

The poster was saying that there were infrastructure issues before white flight, and that Jackson politicians of the 70's - 90's kicked the can down the road, and today's Jackson politicians no longer have the same tax base to help improve the situation where it is even more dire. This is nothing new.

Anonymous said...

Jackson Public Schools spends more per student that any other school system in the state, so I question the presumed link between poverty and ignorance and murderous behavior, proffered by 8:51 a.m.

Anonymous said...

So you're saying the total amount of property taxes and sales tax diversion dollars collected are less in 2019 than collected in the "70's - 90's"?

8:23 I’m not in s jackson. If you think ridgeland or madison or anything else around the area is nice then you really need to get out more

Anonymous said...

8:51 "Whites with jobs and money fled Jackson to Madison. Whites ran Jackson into the ground never repairing infrastructure."

Your logic would blame JPS failure for the same reason? (Even though, as 11:01 affirms, JPS had far more $$ than the burbs)

"The solution is combining area public schools and actually integrating. It’ll be painful for a few years but over time the state will improve as a whole."

That's right. Throwing everything in the refrigerator into a large stock pot and turning it up on high will solve your problems.

Melting down all the crayons in the box will solve all your problems.

Hiring everybody regardless of experience and abilities will certainly improve the company profitability.

Averaging everything down to mediocrity will result in equality and progress.

Spreading out a war zone over a larger area will result in a much less obvious and apparent war zone, which should be our goal.

You didn't mention busing but that would probably work well too since it always has before.

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.

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.
