patricide-
I know the family. They are all good people. Sad sad situation. Drugs are bad.
Just another reminder that white crackheads are literally the worst. Dude murdered his father who was probably just trying to protect his wife, the mother of this chud.
Note the silence from the JJ racists who have no smart ass comments when the mugshot looks like them.
White crackheads? I think we can agree on just plain crackheads. JJ has posted quite a few press releases announcing murders of family members because the killer was on drugs.
11:53 - I am white and I do not look a thing like the guy in the mugshot. So offensive you think all whit people look alike...
11:53 go back to clarion ledger and wlbt pages to comment.
Meth addict! Needed some funds to support his habit. Parent didn't come around to his way of thinking, so he went ballistic. And, you ask where is all this Meth coming from? South of the open border. Did you catch it? South of the open border. So many questions. So few answers from our govt!
Jackson murders now @ 9. 2021 YE Projection @ rate = 131.
I’m betting this fine fellow will not be in that movie they are filming in Clinton, unless there is an Oedipal character...
11:53: but no silence from you, a jj racist who always has smart ass comments when the mugshot doesn't look like them.
" when the mugshot doesn't look like them"
Geez, that phrase is so overused. Along with "doesn't look like me" . . . blah,blah blah.
KF: any word as to why the suspect is in critical condition? Shot by the cops or his parents?
January 25, 2021 at 11:53 AM; i have no problem donating 2 rounds of whatever caliber they need for this killer, just like i don't have a problem donating 2 rounds for the person that killed Percy King. take your racist glasses off and maybe you won't see racism everywhere you look.
That mugshot is from a long while back. Kid has struggled for a long time. Great family dealing with a no-win situation, and the system certainly broke down. Kid has been trouble for 15 years AT LEAST. I hope every lawyer, judge and cop who helped him slip thru the system every time is sleeping well tonight.
I wonder if google is getting a few hits for Oedipal from Mississippi. And no doubt followed by vacant stares into the monitor.
Just for anyone else who may see this, especially because I can remain anonymous. This was not a situation where he just wasn’t given money. “William” has been on a downward spiral and was on a bath salts induced psychosis when this occurred. He was an extremely troubled person. Not somebody who snapped because he wasn’t given money.
I've known the family for over 25 years. The kid has always been a firecracker, too bad he didnt calm down as he aged. Family is full of amazing folks! You can't tame some. Many people will suffer as this ends... or, in fact, the cause and effect will never end. Bless them all, and all the kids who will have to suffer.
Truly a tragedy. His Dad was a great man. The family is a great family. Please keep the family lifted up in prayer.

I hate to dash your delusions of superiority against the rocks of reality. But most Mississippians were exposed to the term, 'Oedipus Complex', either in high school or as college freshmen. In case your knowledge of Mississippi comes from watching Dukes of Hazzard reruns, it may be necessary to tell you that the Mississippi you see on the television, is NOT REAL. It's fiction. Mississippians are, and were, taught from the same textbooks as everybody else. We sat in the same desks, made by the same factories, as everybody else's desks. We rode in the same ugly yellow buses as everybody else. We had our young lives wasted by the same stupid sports as everybody else. And, like everybody else, we learned that Oedipus was obsessed with his mother, and so psychiatrists.... something, something, something... who cares?).
Won't happen but I'd recommend Kingfish take this one down.
You people are sick and it's pathetic that you have made one family's tragedy and heartbreak the basis for your jokes and racist crap. Yes this guy was troubled when he was younger but he had changed and calmed down. That's his DL pic because he's never had a mugshot but you wouldn't know that. You call him a crack head but you're probably on at least one substance or more yourself and regardless have no right to judge. He did a horrible thing to a truly wonderful man and he has to live with that, as does the rest of his family who is suffering unimaginably while you sit here and post your stupid little cracks about Oedipus like all of us in MS are uneducated hicks to make your inferiority complex suffering mind feel better because you know a big word. His wife, sons, daughter, mother, twin, brother, and rest of their family aren't comforted by your comments or the stupidity they contain and your comments aren't helping you in any way either so why not do EVERYONE a favor and just shut up? You think it's racist, fine - just for God's sake think it silently or at least voice it in a place that is actually relevant to the agenda you're pushing instead. Oh and PS - black people turning this into something it's not, screaming white on white crime, and managing to make this about "their struggle" are the racist ones. How insane would it be to be able to take a situation for what it is, to see them just as people going through something devastating, and not make it worse just because you feel like it? Get a life. And a conscience. Maybe hop off your little soap box too.
8:40,
You say "....he had changed and calmed down." Calmed down???? He attacked his mother and killed his father....and you say he had 'calmed down". Based upon all you wrote in your comment, I do believe you need to do EVERYONE a favor and just shut up.
Why is William in critical condition? Was he injured badly during the assault, was it self inflicted or from the police?
self-inflicted. tried to overdose, coded in the cop car.
12:44 as I stated he did something unimaginable and horrible and has to live with it but yeah he had in fact calmed down, became an actual adult and was doing well as a husband and a father. I'm sure you are perfect and have nothing you wish you could change and how lucky for you! I'm not defending his actions that would be insane but who are you helping with this shit? His family is in pain regardless and your commentary does nothing to ease that. You're also going solely off one narrative because its the only one available or presented. Maybe consider there were other factors or don't. It's not my problem if you stay a self righteous jerk who needs these little forums to feel better about your life. More power to ya.
Well, William Died!
God bless, comfort, divinely heal this family as only You can. Grant them Your merciful peace that surpasses our understanding. Wrap Your loving all-mighty arms around this family & remind them that our identity is is in You alone and not any of the troubles or tragedies of this world.
The truth is that domestic violence knows no race, color, or social status. Anyone who thinks they, their family, or home is immune to the potential for some type of domestic violence is not in touch with reality. Our local centers for violence prevention are not just fir battered women. They exist to guide and support individuals and families dealing with inner turmoil & complex issues. Numerous free support groups are available in most community throughout our stare.
On the race issue that was so inappropriately injected into this conversation & just down right tacky... My personal opinion is that in our day & age the only ones keeping racism alive are the ones accusing others of being racist & presently a monumental blockade to a better future for all. In my heart, mind, & soul & way I view human being, racism died with hoop skirts (thank goodness!). Terrible injustices of the past should be left in the past. Can we all just agree to officially grow up and put our energy into our future where we all focus on treating everyone with equal respect? We each have a choice to invest our time & energy to an existence of blaming others or we can choose to actually live our lives embracing the many good things our future offers us all. Can we agree to be a part of the solution instead of the blame game gif our kids sake & their future.
