See a pattern here anyone? Baby-daddy assaults baby-mama... But the mayor will blame this on COVID-19 or the Minneapolis cops or Trump or TS Cristobal...

This is what happens when building codes allow apartments - you get violent crime.

I'm not surprised at all.

That once nice and pretty lil' starter neighborhood from the mid 1980's, went ghetto years ago.

An apartment building none the less. Go figure.

Sounds like Isiah Smith met his family's partner - Mr. Wesson.

Good for whoever it was that took care of protecting themself.

And its a damn good thing that Mayor Chockebaby's plan to take away folks guns was shot down so that this family could protect themselves.

hopefully she can now live her life without some violent thug holding down her and her children...

This is what the 2nd Amendment is all about. A single woman protecting herself and her child in a situation where the police can never arrive in time to save her. Some people in the current city administration would want her defenseless and another statistic of Jackson crime. Shame on them.

I am an attorney and have represented several women who had been in relationship with individuals who couldn’t undertand it’s over and I am moving on. I also advise them to go through legal process, get a restraining order, etc. But when a perp is kicking in your door, a piece of paper with a judge’s signature means nothing until the police show up. During the in-between time, you need the ability to protect yourself. Hence get a gun. I hate when any person dies unnecessarily. But if a person has to die, it should always be the person who made a choice to commit a violent act and not the innocent party.

She did the right thing. Self defense is always a righteous kill. Hopefully she knows that.

With all of this protesting against police you can BET the response of police is going to be get a lot longer.

Thank God we don't have gun control. Generally it's the fondren eastover crowd calling for it. They have gates and security... the poorer single moms and elderly in lower income neighborhoods are the ones left out with no protection. It's a white privlidge thing calling for fun control. Generally the poor are not in favor of it. Just private school white families and academia... they don't see the need for cases like this. Nor do they understand it.

Why can't these clowns ever break into my house while I'm counting my guns and ammo? I have been jealous of the Zim Zam ever since he shook off that flim flam years ago.

Teach your daughters and granddaughters to shoot because like the attorney at 7:47 pm said, a restraining order is just a piece of paper until the police arrive. I agree that it is wise to have the restraining order because is enhances the likelihood of a successful plea of self defense.

What is the homicide count up to now? An summer is just beginning.

Something in the milk isn’t clean said...

I’m perplexed. I can’t tell when commentators are playing or just racist bigots. Y’all love the 2nd amendment so you should be happy. This isn’t a random crime. Y’all hate Black Jackson residents so you should be happy. The mayor nor apartments have anything to do with this. If the woman lived in a house in Eastover this asshole would have still gotten shot.

@9:43, good. Maybe a few lives will be spared. Hopefully they get fired for not doing their jobs also, but we know that won't happen. The worst of them tend to rise to the top and get promoted to leadership roles.

9:48. I disagree. While this was a poorly planned assault it can also be stated it is random to her. I am very glad she came out on top in regards to this if it was in fact in self defense (haven't heard final report). I am no racist nor a bigot unless you are saying my Melanin content makes me one automatically. I harbor no hate toward Jacksonian's nor others. I have traveled the world and meet many wonderful folks along with some true shitheads of all colors. Yes I do love the 2nd Amendment as well as the other ones in the Constitution. That broad brush you are using is best used on the siding of your house and not on people in general.

@10:13,
Don't worry responding to that guy. You just have to know leftist are the least tolerant.

Anonymous said...

@10:05. That is a problem in the police society which I am a part of. When cops get fred for many reasons they need to also be decertified and made to start over again. Without this they just go down the road to another agency, who may be in a manpower crisis, and get hired. Problem isn't rectified it is just moved around the state.

Good for her and her child.

Instead of the normal shooting tragedy, this one has a happy ending.

Oh good Lord helps us.

Domestic violence and y'all make this about gun rights?

Hello? It's about how crazy and sexually insecure men try to control women...always has been.

And, it hasn't apparently occurred to one of you to imagine what a child goes through in life when one parent has killed the other. Do you EVER think of consequences ?

GUNS..

God Almighty, how did so few of you never learn that the power you get from a gun or brute strength is not as useful as the personal power you get from figuring out how to avoid the need for a gun? And, how did you become so lacking in empathy never to consider the consequences to innocent bystanders your use of guns as the first and only solutions?

We managed not to shoot the WHITE teenagers who vandalize mailboxes and cars all over town or the ones who tried but failed to sneak into our daughter's pajama party or the ones who threw beer cans in our yard or used our yard for a bathroom when partying next door. Good thing we found other ways to " teach them a lesson" because some of them may now be YOUR employers and all of them actually matured enough to become good citizens.

I find it hard to believe that none of you were stupid teens who engaged in risky behaviors that could have ended up these days as getting you killed. My guess is you didn't get caught and never matured and have convenient memory loss about what you were like.

Guns and violence get you death and suppression. It's quick and easy, but temporary. How'd you miss that in the '60's? Did you really only learn that pointed white hats looked silly?

You sound just like someone that has no clue about low income neighborhoods and the criminal mentality. I'm a 45 year old white male that grew up in Michigan. A lower income neighborhood at that. Mostly white but plenty of other racial households as,well. My 2 brothers are in prison to this day and j understand these people that you don't. I graduated college and went to med school. It was hard but I managed. I laugh now at these elite libs trying to understand lower income demographics and how they think. Your way off.

Who said anybody was black or white? It's very telling (and possibly "racist") that some people absolutely cannot look at a situation without taking into account what color the people are. Maybe I missed it, but it appears that your comment was the first one to bring color into the narrative.
...Okay, looking back, 2:37pm did mention "white" in their comment. While I generally agree with your sentiment of the type of person who is typically arguing for gun control the loudest, again, let's stop labeling every damn thing as being solely based on color. We will never be able to unite otherwise. And by the way, there are "privileged" (hate that term, but I'll mirror what you said for simplicity's sake) people of all races represented in the Fondren, Eastover, and Woodland Hills neighborhoods, as well as, at JA, Prep, and St. Andrews.

This was the same place where a pizza delivery driver was held up within the last year. Someone started shooting from across the street (red brick apartments) and a kid in one of the multi storied apartments was struck.

You reported on it KF.

Does anyone care that a person died?

1:26pm This isn't Michigan and I hate to disappoint you, but I suspect I know more people of both races in the South that grew up poor or in section 8 housing or who are in prison and know more gritty details of their lives than you did from growing up in one project in Michigan.

And, I met a lot of bright. innately perceptive kids like you who, despite their families, managed to break the cycle. And, some of those kids, just like the " elites" I mentioned, went along to get along and survive and weren't always " law abiding". More than a few shop lifted some of their school supplies or food and some prostituted themselves. Hope you managed to avoid all that. Some got in good foster homes. Some didn't.

African Americans make up 15% of Michigan's population. It's 37% here. That affects racism, much of which is based in fear of revenge. The Civil Rights history in Michigan is quite different, especially when it comes to education. And, you haven't lived here very long if you don't get the cultural differences including the gun culture.

You ignored the points I made and chose instead to try to discredit my remarks. You missed entirely that this article is about domestic abuse. I suspect you saw domestic abuse if what you claim is true because abusing men often have little control in their lives other than beating the crap out of a woman dependent on them and physically weaker. Brawn and anger and guns are the only power they have and that is especially true in the slums.

I'm suggesting to you that you don't win the "hearts and minds" of those you try to overpower and abuse into submission. In the short run, they will cower and submit physically and do your will to avoid pain, but they will hate you and wait for the opportunity to escape or get even. That is human nature. Killing them works if they don't have anyone to remember or avenge them. Genocide works if you don't miss too many.

By the way, did you know that many far right groups are composed of those who come from white families that had little economic or social successes and are the first to have financial success? Lots of research on that trying to determine if it's seen as a pathway to acceptance or fear of what they gained being taken away.

she used a gun to defend herself , her child and her home. and because she used a gun, not ,a knife machete, or baseball bat , means there will be an arrest and an indictment by the chicken manure district attorney of hinds county, no matter what the facts are. self defense with a gun is a myth.

One consequence is that if the child is about 3 years old. that child's guardian will receive abut $1,750 per

month for the deceased parent for 15 years, without interest it is worth a minimum of $315,000. He is

worth way more dead than alive.

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.
