Violence Forces Outlets Carnival to End Early

 The Pearl Police Department issued the following statement. 

There was an incident of several fights at the carnival being held at the Outlets of Mississippi on Saturday night. At one point somebody fired a gun into the air. There were no injuries and it was not a shootout of any kind. The entire area is being cleared by Pearl Police Officers with the assistance of Rankin County Sheriff’s deputies. No arrests have been made at this time.
Mayor Jake Windham has spoken to the Outlets and asked the carnival hours be shortened significantly or canceled altogether and guaranteed that Pearl Police will now flood the area for the duration of the carnival. “This will not be tolerated in our city,” said Mayor Windham. “It is truly a shame that families can not enjoy themselves because of ridiculous behavior.”

If it can happen in Pearl, it can happen in Madison.

They just need to move the carnival out of Purl and to some place better, like Robinhood.

I thought safety was the reason they have it in Rankin instead of Hinds. There is a very good chance Mayor Mary will not allow carnivals in Madison (city).

Don Drane said...

I reckon carnival gunfire COULD happen in Madison. Just like gunfire at apartments COULD happen in Madison.

But, there's one issue! Madison neither has apartments nor carnivals.

Does Madison have a few isolated incidents of crime? Sure. And it will continue to have as long as people are allowed to drive in from Jackson and Canton.

I suppose it was another 14 year old with a stolen gun who thought it was cool to discharge it in public. This is the reason why I feel some people shouldn’t have been born. This is the reason why I trust no one of a certain section of society.

It happens almost everywhere with varying frequency. Stay alert.

Okay, Don Drane, I see you calling out the majority black cities, which this story is nothing about. I’m sure you start a lot of sentences with “I’m not racist, but…”

Whatever you need to tell yourself…

This is why I don’t stop for gas in Pearl

Get out of Rankin County while you still can. I feel so sorry for the people who haven’t gotten out yet.

I sent this story to all of my out of town friends because they need to know to stay out of Rankin County if they value their lives.

Some assumptions are being made about who caused the problems last night. Right now, there is no information and when you don't know, you don't know.

8:04 AM you’re correct it can happen in Madison (or anywhere).

The difference is criminal behavior will not be tolerated in Madison (or anywhere in Rankin County for that matter).

Law and order verses lawlessness evil is the difference in Republicans and Democrats.

We need a new law that if you vote Democrat you have to live in a Democrat city. No more voting for lawlessness while living where there’s law and order hypocrisy.

I simply never understood why Pearl accepted such low class and obsolete ventures as some of the recent strip malls and so on in a prime area around the stadium. The "Outlet" business model imploded 25 years ago.

Pearl being Pearl, as in forever.

If you build it, "they" will come. Without hesitation.

There was a shooting in Madison a couple weeks ago at SEC and I still haven’t heard a peep from the media or anyone else about it. The guy was airlifted to UMC with life threatening injuries.

I’ll stick with Austin Power’s Claim….”I stay away from Carny workers, because they have small hands and smell like cabbage”
Yeah Baby!

10.40 is so correct, Yes can happen in Pearl or Madison. But believe me before this over the person responsible will be punished and very sorry for this stunt

Stop being soft on crime, start throwing their asses away!

Grandma, you and the kids just stay away from any event that happens after sundown. That’s when the majority of crazies wake up and start moving around.

You mean there’s crime in places other than Jackson? Where y’all moving to now?

Who cares who or “what” caused the incident. Get out of Rankin as quickly as you can. This doesn’t happen in Madison.

Pearl is renter city as is crossgates in Brandon. Old fannin area better beware as many of laurelwood and Farmington are becoming rentals by the day

Anonymous said...

A source very close to Pearl Police Department said online that visitors from a neighboring county had a “gang” interaction. Which is why Mayor Windham came out so strongly. Notice the use of “our families”.

10:46. Spot-on. Bravo.

Don Drane said...

Anonymous at 9:12. I didn't call anybody out in particular. Nor did I mention race. It's a fact that 80% of the crime (involving the use of an automobile) committed in Madison is committed by folks from either Canton or Jackson. Not much I do about that fact. But I can recite the fact.

Hookah said...

What does Mayor Windham have on the the scoreboard now?

Frank Griffin said...

I'm happy to stay in Jackson as long as I don't have to live with creatures like "Don Drane," or whoever vomited at 10:46 a.m.

Madison (the city) and Rankin County are teeming with pharisees and hypocrites, If Jesus came back they would demand that he be crucified again. "Who is this weirdo who asks us to change our lives?"

Anonymous said...

@9:12 - why is it that the people who cry “racist” are usually the first to mention race? Textbook projection.

Generous of Mississippi taxpayers to subsidize the building of the Outlet Makk. Thank Feel for pushing it through.

Probably someone shooting at that Gator crossing the highway.

Yes, he is protected but I can't say I blame them because he has been known to jaywalk.

Jackson should flood Capitol street with law enforcement and allow the bars to open.

4:38, you are right, but it was Haley. Same for Renaissance. Go Zone money post Katrina. Our wonderful GOP leaders distorting the free market with crony allocations of taxpayer money.

Shocking, Purl is known for such class.

8:57 PM Phil was Lt Gov during Haley’s administration

7:54 Let me help you..

"Jackson should just flood Capitol Street. (period)" There, I fixed it for you.

Anonymous said...

@7:54pm, make that Capitol Police and you’re on to something.

Otherwise, the bigots and less informed among us continue to trot out their inane and sophomoric notions with all the subtlety of a gnat, to-wit: 10:40am might wish his gross overgeneralization could be rectified so simply but has no clue that legislating where people live is both unconstitutional and anti-American.

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.
