"near the home"? There are shootings near my home everyday.

No gun reform legislation yet Cindy?

Knowing where she lives, they were more than likely sighting in rifles for deer season.

"Shooting" is not the same as shots fired. Hunters? Target practice? Plinking? Firecrackers?

Hey Cindy - is this your wake up call that you live in Mississippi and it’s hunting season? Remember that when you shop in highland village where your constituents handle gunshots every day and night. Maybe if you’d step out of those high heels behind a desk you’d have a clue as what most of the workforce faces every day- faces - not hears nearby. Handle your own Cindy

What superb nonsense to report an occurrence of gunfire out there in the country.

Addendumber: She's not a state employee or member of our state legislature - Given that, why did the Cap PoPo jump to attention and bust open the biscuits and grape jelly?

ok and?

Like her or not, this sounds more serious than most of you know it alls are making it out to be. Shots fired from a 9mm towards the car of a family member as they drove up the driveway. A vehicle was seen speeding away.

Per Mississippi Today...
"The shots were fired from a 9 mm weapon, according to a law enforcement source, and were fired in the general direction of the vehicle of a family member of Hyde-Smith’s as the person drove up the driveway toward the house near Brookhaven in south Mississippi.

The incident occurred about 12:30 p.m. Sunday. After the shooting, a witness saw a vehicle speeding away."

I'm not sure which family members these are, but I'm thinking all of Cindy Hyde-Smith's family probably grew up "in the country" like she did and they certainly could tell the difference between some random hunter shooting in the woods and this incident. If it had just been the former, this certainly wouldn't be news.

@2:11pm, KF noted it’s the US Capitol Police that is going to investigate because she is a US Senator

2:16 - what does a 9mm sound like compared to other calibers? also, what the frack?

Read again 2:11 PM.
Only this time a bit slower.

This is the not our Capitol Police. It's the Capitol Police from Washington D.C.

@3:58.

I can definitely tell the difference in calibers by sound. A random person might not be able to tell a 9mm from a .38 but most can definitely tell a 9mm from a shotgun or rifle. It’s a big difference. One is like a staccato whip crack and one sounds like thunder.

Jackson definitely has a horrible crime problem but stuff like this is happening all over Mississippi. Brookhaven, McComb, Vicksburg, Meridian, etc. etc.

This sounds much more serious than some numbskulls bloviating on this site seem to realize.

I grew up around hunting land, and shots in the distance during hunting season are no big deal (hell - even near hunting season was no cause for alarm).

But shots fired at or towards an occupied vehicle, in the driveway of a US Senator? You have to be a special kind of stupid to not realize what that might mean....

6:13… Special,kind of stupid or 16 years old…. 1983 ish I picked up my gal and parked around the corner. Cops came and asked us to get dressed. The lady cop finally said “Not in front of Mayor Danks house again, OK?”
I was a special kind of stupid that day!

Imagine being such a psychopathic gun nut that you can tell the different sounds of guns!

"Again " ?

Gawd 6:55, that's funny.

Danks had a very nice house, but it was almost on the Pearl River.
(at the end of Meadowbrook).

If you and your "gal" had driven another twenty-five yards, both of you could have got'n buck ass neck'id
on a Pearl River sandbar without any interference.

But back to the topic, I'm so glad the Riverside Drive fiasco is being exposed.

It looks like it's too late to tell 7:28 not to get stuck on stupid.

Good for you! I doubt very seriously you had the location of your car on your mind when the cops came knocking. Pretty sure they got a good laugh out of the situation as did you when retelling the tale to your friends. Your "gal", probably not so then, but in later life even she gets a chuckle every now and then thinking about it.

Some of y’all don’t understand the difference and the importance of shots fired near your place of abode compared to shots fired near the place of abode of one of the elite, protected class. They are critical to our continued existence as a nation; you are not.

When can we expect Barney to show up on his motor-sickle with Andrew in the side-car?

The incompetent US Cap PoPo reports to a non-existent House Majority Leader. Seems the FBI would be assigned. Tell me this...Which federal agenc(ies) would be down here two days later if the gunfire had occurred at a certain House member's residence out from Bolton, MS. At least ATF, FBI and the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division.

1:31pm Gunshots every night near Highland Village?
Whaddaya call "near" 4-5 miles on the other side of I-55?

Stop lying/exaggerating for political purpose.

Some of us live "near" Highland Village and we aren't hearing gunfire "every night" or even when it did occur once starting on the other side of the highway but not so we'd hear it.
Your lies hurt our property values should our jobs take us elsewhere but then you only care about your own "acceptance" in a political cult or finding some way to justify whatever prejudices you embrace.

The extremists like you of both parties who will lie and exaggerate and misinform to show party loyalty are traitors now as far as I'm concerned. We have a threat of war and threats from China(that has aligned now with Russia and North Korea) and people like you voted in idiots that are keeping Congress from functioning! Your idiots are keeping the military from promotions to get officers in the correct place to lead should we get attacked.

You even think you are voting to "strengthen" the right to vote when you are doing the exact opposite. And, you do that because you f'ing don't bother to know how a voting machine works. You think it's like your computer ,dummy and that someone can "connect" to it and change how it works on one day and only with one candidate on the ballot. You don't know what it is your clerks of court and election officials and volunteers DO that insures the votes are made by registered voters ALL YEAR LONG not just on election day.

But, you will listen to any uninformed, uneducated idiot or con man for YOUR PARTY! You may can goose step but you are too poorly put together to dance!

@ 5:31 - No you can't. You just think you can.

In general: They may have determined the caliber from empty brass left behind.

@9:16 AM - Au contraire - I can easily tell the difference between a .22LR and a 105mm Howitzer.

Anonymous said...

But will she turn more RINO on us and join the "take away the guns" crowd?

Kingfish said...

I live in NE Jackson and have heard quite a few gunshots that were alot closer than 4-5 miles away as you put it. Usually sound like they are coming from Ridgeland Park area or over by New Jerusalem.

9:16: You are correct. Empty brass.

“you will listen to any uninformed, uneducated idiot or con man”, that's not true, I don't listen to you.

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.
