Justifiable Homicide?

JPD tweeted more information about a September 8 murder yesterday:

Victim found fatally shot on Percy V. Simpson Dr. has been identified as, Mitchell Burns, Jr.-33. There is still no suspects or motive. Anyone with info, call #CrimeStoppers at 601-355-TIPS(8477). #CashforClues

(Sept.8) JPD is investigating a fatal shooting after deceased male was discovered in the 3000 block of Percy V. Simpson Dr. just before 9am on 9/5. Victim suffered from multiple wounds and has not yet been identified. No suspect info or motive available.
Um, no motive? You sure about that, Hoss? Check out this little document floating around in the Hinds County criminal justice system.



An affidavit provides more information:



No motive? Retaliation or vengeance might be a good place to start.

1 May 2018 affidavit filed and arrest with an 8 April 2019 date when Bond and apparently action being sent to Grand Jury. Can't see in the article about indictment or no bill. Order does state No Contact with Victim. May very well have been an attempt on young Mr. Burns to intimidate, threaten or even apologize to the victim leading to his demise. Stranger things have happened. Wonder how deep the investigation will actually go.

Even if the suggested motive is accurate, it won't be found to be justifiable under our current system. In 1950 it would have been, yes. A lot of dads and uncles back then, as well as now, would have dealt with it accordingly. Including me. Moving right along...

If, and only if the shooter was the victim, it may be justified if she can articulate extreme fear from a confrontation. We also don't know if a weapon to be used against her was found on scene. Again, if that type of scenario.

So your opinion is that vigilante justice is equivalent to (and acceptable as) justifiable homicide?

Here’s a solution to Jackson’s murder rate: Just classify all murders as justified.

Problem solved.

Sounds like a repeat of the movie "Time To Kill". And the taxpayers just saved a bundle!!

Yep. Why do you ask? Vigilante justice is called justice for a reason, pal. It's swift and just. Behave and you'll not face it.

The victim has the same last name as the defendant. Draw your own conclusions.

Reminder: It still takes a jury to convict, regardless of whether the law says this particular homicide was justified.

Nothing is justifiable in Mitch's murder the documents shown above are not real I just did a complete background check on him there are no charges saying anything about touching a child just some theft charges he did his time for in 2019 stop lying on him you should be ashamed of yourself an if he was murdered due to these bogus documents they better do something before someone takes matters into their own hands Mitch is very loved an who ever did this to him will not get away with it another thing he also is not registered as a sex afinder nor was he ever charged as one those are bogus documents that better be taken down do not slander his name you make me sick with this bullshit lie take this shit down now an let him rest in peace

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.

Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. 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.
