Impressive but stretch before you replicate those moves.

Dude has some moves.......not good ones. The butt crack is especially a nice touch.

Adults with mental issues, drug addiction problems, etc. tend to gravitate to the urban areas not the suburbs, That's true all over the country. Jackson happens to be the closest haven in the area so they get this stuff all around town. What else can they do?

Making fun of the mentally ill? New low.

Making fun of the mentally ill and possibly addicted = classless move

Is this included in the Platinum Package?

"High" Street, indeed. Illegal drugs are a terrible thing.

This is why I don't go to the High Street Whataburger and Waffle House anymore.

When other municipalities all over the state truck their indigent, mental and drug problems to High Street and drop them off with $10, what do you expect?
And JPD/Chokwe could not care less that these people are chasing away visitors, businesses, destroying private property, and more…
Third world Here we come…

@9:44AM

We're making fun of a city that not only tolerates the addicted and mentally ill roaming free, endangering themselves and others but actively encourages it. No compassionate society would tolerate this sort of thing.

Why would anyone go through a car wash in Jackson? With the Jackson water, you will leave after the car wash with a dirtier car than you came in?

There is no reason for anyone in this country to be homeless unless they want to live that way. Can it happen? Yes. However, this country has no shortages of options to keep someone from being homeless. The biggest of which is a dire shortage of workers.

If you can dance at the car wash, you can hold at job at the car wash and if he's on drugs, I don't care what happens to him. He had the resources to get the drugs. He can use those to get a cheap room.

Interpretive dance is often misunderstood by the general public. Such a vibrant display of the culture of Jackson should be celebrated. Here we see human emotion or fantasy translated into movement and dramatic expression.

Just a small part of the payoff created by the Honorable Mayor Lumumba II as he carries out his visionary plan to create a progressive city. Not only to correct the ills as we see them, but to be a model for the nation of what progressive leadership and collective genius can accomplish.

Bro is high on crack. They have to get to rock bottom before they want any treatment. Until then looking crazy dancing at the car wash will suffice.

Anonymous said...

@9:47 AM - Yo bleeding heart, have him move in with you if you are so concerned. No one forced those drugs on him, and he wasn't an addict when he started.

Well, the participants of the Ballet competition next summer have certainly got something to look forward to.

Don’t see how it helps to laugh at and make fun of people who are mentally ill. Drug addiction, PTSD, homelessness, schizophrenia are all considered mental illnesses, not moral weaknesses. Lots of ignorance and misunderstanding so it’s easy to judge and ridicule but I don’t see how that helps anyone.

Anonymous said...

I don't see any of the bleeding hearts above volunteering to take him under the wings/roof. Liberals always want someone else to clean up the mess that they created, but won't get their hands dirty. It's the progressive way.

This one, the wheelchair-bound man in traffic, and a couple others have something in common: they’re gratuitous and almost make me feel ashamed.

This guy on Dance Dance Revolution…..What does "high score" mean? New high score, is that bad? What does that mean? Did I break it?

Anonymous said...

1:19 - Nobody, I mean NO BODDDY, with PTSD acts this way. So, while you're playing Tuesday morning psychiatric-aide down to the Vet Center, you can check that one off your list.

Truth be known, this guy sees the brushes in the car wash and is simply mimicking their action. He'll calm down in a bit, move down the street to beg for some grub, and then be back at it soon enough. He's harmless until he thinks you've somehow slighted him. Stay armed.

I’ve seen crazier stuff than this on a Sunday afternoon at Shucker’s on the Reservoir.

Damn, that looks like just my bonus kid all mucked up on that fentanyl. YES FOLKS, that is what it does to a human being. Makes them act JUST LIKE THAT if they are lucky enough not to make that trip to the ER for some NARCAN. I sure hope this guy is ok. He obviously has a terrible drug habit.

October 25, 11:26am with the best call and reference that I have seen in many moons......Why did they call him Sailor?

Excellent Judge of Character said...

We work with the homeless in downtown Jackson day in and day out. This guy should be institutionalized—for his own safety and ours. But instead, he roams the streets. He’s schizophrenic, bi-polar, and completely unmanaged. Even if he had access to medication, he has no one to make sure he takes it. It’s a HUGE problem. The whole “if he can dance at the car wash he can work there” line is absurd. And add to it the “there’s no shortage of options in this country to keep someone from being homeless” line, which is the second most absurd thing I’ve read — coincidentally by the same person — is ridiculous. Jackson (AND the country) has an enormous shortage of affordable housing. Not sure where you’re getting your information, but it’s incorrect.

This guy hears voices. He’s not rational. And he’s certainly not hirable. In his particular situation, Whitfield needs to become Whitfield again. It’s inhumane what is happening in our streets—and to him. God help him.

5:19, there is only so much that taxpayers are able to fund the able-bodied non-working, homeless, criminal, substandard education, etc. population before the wheels fall off on the money train.

Excellent Judge of Character said...

5:19, you’re exactly right. But the guy in the video, that sparked this entire conversation, is merely sick. And up until this ruling, from the Department of Justice in 2011, he could have been safely provided for. But instead, he’s dancing at a car wash—and we all lose. Keep celebrating budget cuts for mental health.

I'm just glad they cut that tree down by the i-55/St D intersection so the out of town vagrants can't snooze there anymore.

Anonymous said...

5:19: You are absolutely correct.
6:07: One of the basic duties of government is to get the dangerous off the streets, this includes those who are a danger to themselves and others due to addiction or mental illness. I can think of plenty of things we’re funding that are less important. We need to expand mental health and rehab capacity in this state.

Anonymous said...

Excellent Judge - It's also inhumane the degree of enabling that goes on 'downtown', largely carried out by people such as yourself and your fellow Bleeding Hearts. If not for folks like this dancing-rabbit, you would have to find a real job, yourself.

Anonymous said...

I firmly agree with 5:19. We need mental institutions back. It was the wrong decision to close them. This is the type of person that needs to be there by keeping him off the street and others safe. Whitfield and other places like it worked.

Anonymous said...

This was not a problem in the past. A simple call the the men in white coats and this guy would be residing at Whitfield indefinitely.

Anonymous said...

Oh man I’ve got high with this cat before. He is a good guy. Y’all stop judging people so much. We all know you snobs are a bunch of racist, drunks, and sinners.

This guy showed up a few months ago in Jackson--usually hung out at the corner of Fort and Jefferson. I gave him a few bucks one day. Looks to be early 20's, completely psychotic. You assholes that write off people as "must be on drugs, could work, ect...." probably all have losers like him in your family. In Mississippi, I'd wager even the people not commenting have relatives like this within the cousin strike. Get over yourselves and your dry-cleaned jeans and peroxide wiiiiives.

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.

Trollfest '07

Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards. Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee? 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. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.
