Photo and lead in don't really help. Was this vandalism, weather or what? No date and time stamp on this photo.

The mayor did this on one of his rages of anger

Weather, my ass.

Surely there was a security camera somewhere that caught this on video.

Just a few more unexplained barricades on Congress. The next block south in front of City Hall has been blocked off for more than a year for no apparent reason.

Are those marijuana plants?

Rage over 1020 or the garbage contract? Or maybe just bad behavior from the vagrants who plague downtown.

8:20, you are either mentally challenged or a poor comedian.

9:02- Correct..only explantations is the narcissistic mayor !!!

Hizzoner's "real time crime center" is "on it."

Vagrants do this kind of thing daily in downtown Jackson. The city refuses to do anything about them. Vagrants bust out windows, catch buildings on fire, even steal police cars with no consequences.

I think 8:20 pm pushed those planter boxes over.

If those were the 96 gallons carts, it would be almost impossible to turn them over.

Not excusing vandalism, but civic urban landscape needs to be secure and a dull earth-tone: white is obnoxious for street-scaping.

In fact, city should outlaw white take-out food bags and cups because brown trash is less nasty than white trash laying in streets and ditches.

@ 8:44 - and if there was a security camera that caught it, what difference does that make? What's the point?

Reason #___ why I moved my business out of downtown Jackson.

I hope you reported it rather then let the plants continue to struggle.
Someone could just stop their car and pick them back up and pack the dirt back in.
This happen to two huge plants on my patio in a storm. So, weather can do strange things but however it happened, it's still a "nice thing" that can be kept "nice" with very little effort.
Or people can wait for the plants to die so you'll have something to complain about.
Bitch or do...everyone's choice.

Sure there are security cameras in the area. For some reason I think the same thing will happen as did with the cameras that caught the people hanging the nooses around down town. We still haven't heard about who did that. Even after all of the yelling about racist people. Anyone know what happened?

Not a lot of non-bitchers left in that area. The do-ers fled when they got tired of the abuse.

Use the catch & release criminals for community improvements & make it. Part of sentencing like 200 hrs of community service for less serious crimes adding more for greater or felony charges!

Downtown Jackson? who goes there anymore?

10:19 It was 2 hours after KF posted this that your post wanted someone to care? You could've jumped in your EV and run down to check on the little "puppies" to make sure they were okay.

Chowke's statement: No! The wind blew them over, thus creating a perception of malicious mischief. Right?

Jane said...

My friends and I were downtown for a concert last night when we noticed it. We did pick them up although three were broken. Pretty sure the wind did not do it. Someone also did a hatchet job on some trees around the governor's mansion. Those were beyond our ability to help.

"Someone also did a hatchet job on some trees around the governor's mansion."

Photos or it didn't happen. Your post is bullshit. The mansion and grounds have 24-hour on site protection and surveillance plus Capitol Police protection.

George Washington would not even get by with chopping a tree in that area.

Now, whatta you have to say for yourself, young man, after making that story up? Find a Catholic church and confess.

3:45 - My name is Jane. In what language is that considered a young man's name? I have a photo of the trees but there is no way for me to post them on this site. You can see it on my FB page - Jane Tucker. Hope that satisfies you.

3:45 you have some serious problems. Get some help.
Unlike yourself, many people attend church and work downtown. We all saw the trees around the mansion fence wall that had been struck down as well as pots dumped over and / or broken all down Congress Street.

Anonymous said...

@3:45. Security footage shows the same vagrant destroying the newly planted tress and the planters. Hopefully they will find him. Thank you Jane for picking up the planters.

Jane said...

It was myself, Chris Fitzpatrick, and David Null. We were at St Andrews watching Shawn Williams perform in the courtyard. Great crowd, great performance. Fortunately it ended at 7 before too many of the loud racers took over the streets drowning out any other sound.

Your post is bullshit.

Jane's rep towers over that puddle of yours on the ground.

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.
