One David L. Archie is going at it with WMPR and Wanda Evers. Our favorite supervisor sued the pair in Hinds County Chancery Court after Ms. Evers banned him from WMPR premises.
Mr. Archie participated in two talk shows on WMPR, Talk of the Town on Friday night and Respect Our Black Dollars on Wednesday night. The complaint states:
That on or about October 26, 2020, The Chief Operating Office of W.M.P.R. Radio 90.1 F.M., participated in a Face Book Discussion, wherein she made unfounded accusations against the Plaintiff; and announced to the public that the Plaintiff, David L. Archie, is prohibited from returning to the W.M.P.R Radio Station, and that he would be charged with Trespass if he came back on W.M.P.R.'s property.The Hinds County District 2 Supervisor argues he fully complied with all FCC regulations. He said no complaints were filed with the FCC.
The plaintiff asks the Chancellor to reinstate him to his radio shows and bar WMPR from barring him from the station.
Attorney Harry Rosenthal represents Mr. Archie.
Kingfish note: The case is assigned to Chancellor Crystal Wise Martin. Expect a recusal.

Pending reality show: The Real Supervisors of Hinds County.
I don't have 'amble time' to get too deep in the weeds here.
I'm no lawyer but am watching Perry Mason, as we speak. The way I see it, Mr. Archie was a 'guest', by his own admission, in the studios of the defendant. He doesn't mention being under contract, so let's assume he is not.
The above, if true, would allow the defendant to tell the plaintiff or anybody else, to stay off the property under threat of being charged with trespass.
What am I missing other than the whining attempt at notoriety?
Read No.9 carefully. Who the hell wrote this and why was that person advanced beyond seventh grade?
Archie filed the action in his official capacity as Hinds County Supervisor which is an indication of how he intends to use the office in his personal bullshit. He was offensive and vulgar on the air and thinks he has the right to be so whenever he pleases, In Hinds County maybe he does.
My favorite part of the legal filing is the statement that "there is not amble time to file process".....
If you would just amble on over there you would have ample time.
Private business. Archie loses.
I wonder how his home remodeling turned out on the house he owns in the district he represents? I'm sure it turned out really nice.
Was this typed on a typewriter? That’s amazing. Too bad Archie did not elaborate on what was said about him.
I didn't know private businesses had to provide first amendment protections.... I wonder what his attorney charges?
Archie wants white folks to think he’s a “good boy” (anyone remember the Primos meeting he had while running?), but wants black folks to think he’s some tough guy. First that Cypher dude, then Toni Johnson and now Wanda Evers. Turns out Archie is merely a whiner with thin skin.
Just wait till the MS Supreme Court rules in favor of Darrel McQuirter in 2019's Hinds County Supervisor election case.
Now that's gonna be the FOOD FIGHT of all-time.
This is chicken shit and he's the chicken shitter. Getting tired of this blowhard ass.
I miss the good old daus when Mike Morgan was on the Board of Supervisors & things got done. Bridges are still out on Midway Road without any repairs being attempted in many months.
Obviously the Supreme Court for the State of Mississippi doesn't give a darn about government in Hinds County. This case has been before then long enough for Solomon to resurrect and give the verdict.
To speak to another of the comments, what's wrong is that
1. Ms Evers herself admitted she had not heard the show in question
2. Having NOT HEARD anything for herself, she nonetheless availed herself of social media and engaged in a live segment banning someone whom she had not had a conversation with and whose comments she herself had not heard.
3. Why didn't she hear the comments? Why did the station not pull the tape and listen? Aren't public radio stations required to record activity 24hrs a day?
4. Ms. Evers stated she had several phone calls. She acted on what she was told instead of what she herself KNEW.....This is not the way to make executive decisions and they certainly should not be played out publicly by "so-called" business people
5. This last one is funny, she told him and Atty. Warren Martin that was her station and they should go buy their own.....Didn't her Daddy buy that one?
YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS STUFF UP!
10:38 There is no excuse for obscenity and personal attacks in the public square or certainly on the air. That behavior is what the radio station is restricting by denying Archie their airwaves. He seems to ignore their reasons for banning him and acts as if he did absolutely nothing before being told he was banned. Freedom of speech is NOT an absolute right. Every individual has a responsibility for what he says, more than ever when it is broadcast. Was Archie acting in a "business like" manner as you expect of Evers? If you must say anything you want be prepared for the consequences.
Didn't this whole thing arise on the radio show of Judge Martin herself, who brings in Archie as her host and he commences to attack her brother in law Warren Martin and now the case against the radio station is brought before the Court of the same Judge Crystal Martin... WHEW
Yes, 10:38 YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS STUFF UP!
Mr Archie there’s lots of work to do inHinds County. Dang, don’t you have anything else to do other than be somewhere you’re not wanted? There must be something in the water you are drinking cause you’re doing some stupid shigity!
F’ that damn talk show! Get to the real work in Hinds County. Wit’ yo’ bish azz!
8:52. The same attorney that claimed that Archie “intended” for nine years to move back to his Home in the district”
The media are not officially arms of the government (yet). That being the case, they are not subject to the provisions of the 1st Amendment. If anything, the courts will give him the address of the local EEOC office and he can go waste his time there. He can always claim race and age discrimination. However, he was never an employee. He needs his own special icon.
I remember back when someone had to actually pass the bar exam in order to type 'esquire' after their name. Well, with the exception of OM grads.
Gabbard Gobbert got his walking papers from Sopper-Tawk. Do he sue?
