Jackson Jambalaya

How this got recorded and more importantly who knew it was being recorded is going to be debated.

This will incite litigation and this blog will be ground zero.

Here come subpoenas I

A lot of money gets laundered in those bookie joints in Meridian and Marion. Been going on for a long time. Sounds like the Mayor decided to get in on it.

Eric needs to lay off the 'roids.

Would be a good idea to put this in context. No idea who or what's going on.

Meridian has been catching up with Jackson on the urban blight and murder rate. Democrats sure do know how to run civilization into the ground.

Possible "Context" ... Bunky has an open lawsuit against Percy and Richie.

If you could listen to or get a copy of a recorded conversation from anywhere in Madison county any day of the week....you'd hear the same thing, only hopefully in a more intelligent use of the English language. That includes county offices, municipal offices, PD, SO, court offices, elective, appointed...you name it.

Come see me, Bubba. Ah-ight. Hey to yo mama.

Meridian and Columbus have become disaster towns. Use to be nice. Many more small towms in Mississippi are headed that way. It's really scary at what's going on in Mississippi.

Wonder if the Siemens folks ever did a water project there. Seems like their type of sandbox.

I'm so glad I was not the only reader (in this case, "listener") who thought this phone conversation reeked of "one participant KNOWS this is being recorded, and the other one doesn't."

White flight leads to black blight.

Meridian is as corrupt a town as I have ever seen, some years ago a police officer was also working as a defense attorney and had was screwing the clerk, long story short affidavits and evidence got "lost" and cases were dismissed against political allies of the mayor, chief and sheriff. Bookies and drug dealers run rampant while political figures misappropriate federal grant funds.

But I suppose you could insert just about any town in Mississippi's name in this post. The FBI and Attorney General need to park a public integrity/corruption squad in Lauderdale county for a few years, they'd have plenty of work.

Not knowing context or having a dog in the fight, it would appear that this "Bunky" person is the one doing the recording. Certainly leading this cop down the path. Sneaky and underhanded.

well Bunky is a snake in the grass... not a hero

FACT Mississippi Law- Only one person in a recorded conversation is required to know of the recording for it to be legally admissible in court. one bastard can surreptitiously record another unsuspecting bastard.

Is there any place to live in Mississippi that isn't corrupt? I'm looking for just one safe and wholesome place like Mayberry.

Two people talking. One obviously on a phone and the other on a speaker phone in a room with an echo. I think it’s easy to tell who recorded the call (hint: the guy speaking with the echo in the room)

Thanks for the subtitles, I have a hard time understanding garbled redneck/hillbilly-ese.

1:14, I think the closest you'll get to that is Madison, and it really pi**es a lot of people off.

Super mach roid cop is a moron

As Ester Rolle would say on the show Good Times, “ damn,damn,damn. This mo fo is cutting a deal or trying to fool the feds.

I don't know the cop but I definitely know Bunky & Richie. When it comes to telling the truth, my money is on Richie.

Bunky got removed from his kingdom and now he wants vengeance. He was the former fire chief, who then convinced the mayor at the time to allow him to retire from his old job and then comeback in a newly created position of "City Homeland Security Director" (Taking over a facility run by a non profit that removed Bunky from their board of directors due to malfeasance).

He then wiggled his way into the Community Development job, even though he was completely unqualified.

This isn't the first "leaked" audio with Bunky attached to it ...

Bunky has had his nose in the public trough for 40 yrs. Wonder if he worked a deal with the feds to avoid prosecution? I think he would throw ANYONE else overboard to save himself. Just personal opine...

What the hell kind of name is Bunky anyway?

This stuff fills MS airwaves on a daily basis.....

Between this, and the information on the new Culpable podcast, the dirt on Meridian is flying.

Hey 1:14, try Meadville... almost like time stood still except they now have a Mexican restaurant.

At least Judas thought enough to hang himself.

Is one of these the Meridian Police Officer/Mayor's Bodyguard that was arrested at a fight at a baseball game at Ridgeland in April 2017? Looks like him. Here's the link to the article. The video is still up in several places.
