Invited guests are local media, concerned pastors, business leaders, Mayor Chokwe Lumumba, Leaders of the Jackson Police Department, Capital Police, and the Hinds County Sheriff's Department.

Everyone in the community is invited to join in the discussion of these very important matters in the city.

What a clown. This dumb SOB doesn’t care about safety in Jackson. He only cares about complaining about laws being enforced.

F that guy and his stupid mayor.

If you attend be sure to wear a pair of waders. Right?

Either attend and tell us facts or shut up.

Just go ahead and say it. You want a Jackson where there is no justice and no peace which is exactly what you've gotten.

No justice (see Tomie Green)
No peace (see social media and channel(s) 3, 12 and 16.

Agree with 5:31..

Only 3 hours notice of this supposed meeting ? I'll be interesting to see if representatives JPD, HCSO, and the CPD attend. Maybe they had notice earlier than just 3 hours ago.

I also wonder if Kenneth Stokes will appear and give his opinion. He's been advocating that the National Guard be called in to help with the rampant crime in Jackson, so I'm assuming he has no problem with the Capitol Police helping.

Presumably, he will talk about the story he posted on his social media where a bystander, Latasha Smith, was recently shot in her home by stray bullets from the capitol police. I haven’t seen the story reported anywhere so not sure about any further details. I’m surprised it didn’t make the news.

I can think of several people who do not know the difference between capitol and capital.

I also agree with @5:31 PM. Right?

How many times will they pass the plate and who will be the beneficiary of the collections?

5:54 proves my point

Was his buddy Polo invited? Maybe Capital Police can give him a ride.

Ah yes, nothing solves issues like forums and talking.

He also has UTube video voicing his complaints.

Looks like the 14 in attendance appreciated it

Just make sure the U-Hauls have security while people leave that crap J-town.

The worst I have to deal with in Madison is a random armadillo.

Sounds like the reverend and mayor are upset their enterprises are at threat.

Why not have a series of forums, a listening tour, during which Jackson residents tell the police which laws they want enforced in their neighborhoods and which they don’t?

Looked like a script right off Law and Order SVU.

Why is it every time people try to do something about the crime in Jackson they are met with so much resistance?

Anonymous said...

Fighting crime is racist.... didn't y'all know that?

Anonymous said...

@7:50am - Maybe it’s because they’re not actually doing anything but talking about doing something?

Doesn't the good REV live in Clinton?

Best thing to do is ignore them and continue doing your job. Doesn’t matter what you do, they’ll always complain.

He lives in Crystal Springs.

The only “thing” people can do is support law enforcement and not raise hell when they actually do their job. Your choice, let the police control crime or the criminals (this includes that sorry Rev who gets payoffs) it’s that simple. I was raised in Jackson and currently work downtown, I hope CP rids us of the soulless animals!

It seems the church would lose its non tax status if this were to happen

Pastor Pickett is a money-grubbing fake pastor who is aligned with the Mayor to make money on city contracts.

Pickett, Socrates, Crudup, Lumumba - all in one room. The four horsemen of Jackson's apocalypse.

The mayor's nickname should be "The Deflector."

Pastor Pickett, get with the Police Chief and the Jail Administrators and School Principals in your city. Provide them with names of these young fools committing all these acts of violence and pass along to the concerned pastors in the your Communities. Then let the pastors go talk to the PARENTs of the youth they are trying to save!

If not, when and if they commit a crime don’t cry foul!

Quit talking to the law abiding citizens wasting their time. Y’all are talking to the wrong party!

Anonymous said...

Pastor Pickett if you really want to make a positive change go out in the communities and talk to the people committing these crimes. Talking to the law abiding citizens ain’t gonna do shit. They are scared shitless!

Now when these fools start breaking into your house, stealing your property and harming your relatives do not call the police. Go and have a meeting. Do not call the Police!

Just saying, keep it 100

Remember the Police ain’t social workers or pastors in training!

The Police protect the all citizens, however the way they do it may not be to your liking. Keep on pastoring pastor Pickett, stay out or the business of policing.

Now I know the Governor can hire you as Chief of Capital Police since you all in their kool aide.

Pastor Pickett these young fools are out of control, they need you!

EXACTLY.

Pickett is just one more race hustling parasite, looking to feast off the rotting carcass of his decomposing community before it decomposes completely.

But "he got his"! For everyone else... sucks to be you.

A real 'Man of the People'.

Disgusting.

Pastor don’t live in Jackson! What is your motive Pastor? Go out in the streets and talk to the people without Police escorts.

You be the Police! You may get the results you want.

You just talk, talk and talk and then run back into your safe haven before the crazies come out to rob, steal and kill.

I’ll bet the Sheriff and Chief are sick and tired of your meddling. Governor Reaves ain’t going to listen to that nonsense.

Support the Police Pastor and stay out of their affairs respectfully.

Should the IRS and Dept of Revenue investigate if Pastor Pricket is still qualified as a religious organization or is acting as a Political Arm for Da Maya??

Anonymous said...

Why is it that everyone who is committing crime in Jackson has Antar’s cell phone and is related to a JPD officer. This goes all the way back to that drug dealer Melton.

Pickett is the worst!! He is the one that should investigated.

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. 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.
