Biker Wrecks During Chase

 The Pearl Police Department issued the following statement. 

A motorcyclist is under arrest after leading a Pearl officer on a chase up I-55 Monday just after lunch.

 

According to detectives, a Pearl police officer observed a motorcycle with no tag traveling at a high rate of speed near Highway 80 and Bass Pro Drive and attempted to make a stop. The motorcyclist refused to pull over and tried to outrun the officer, getting on I-55 and heading north toward Jackson. 




 

The fleeing motorcyclist, who police determined to be Justin Jerome Gatlin, 30, of Jackson, took the High Street Exit, at which point he lost control of his bike and wrecked. He did sustain minor injuries, but is expected to be okay.

 

While taking him into custody, officers found a gun on him. 

 

Gatlin has been charged with Felony Fleeing, Possession of a Weapon by a Convicted Felon, Reckless Driving, No Tag, and No Insurance.

Lumumba yells to his friend, Ollie Ollie In Come Free! But.....didn't quite get to home base.

But, but, it's illegal for a convicted felon to possess a firearm. Maybe if there was another statute that made I-55 a "gun free zone" (GFZ) this would never have happened, because GFZs are so effective.

Hopefully he will be charged and prosecuted in Rankin County, not Hinds, otherwise it was all a waste of time.

Well, at least some junior or senior year medical student probably got an opportunity to apply some stitches at UMC.

So often do they flee that it would appear the rate of success must be rather high. Anybody have any reliable figures?

"He hit him". No he didn't. Anyone else notice the glock without a holster? Bet she's the kind that would scream at a police officer after the police officer shot the homicide suspect.

Have you ever noticed how often Jackson residents, arrested by pure happenstance, happen to be felons in possession?

6:00 is dead-on. The list of his charges could most likely be applied to nearly any Charger/Challenger/rice-burner motorcycle driver on I-55 in Jackson.

How bad was the bike rider's pavement rash?

The only crime I see is nobody films in landscape mode.

5:52 - No Glock in this video. Looked carefully, frame by frame. That black thing was not a firearm of any kind. However, that is one dirty front seat area.

The SCOTUS pretty much scrapped those felon with gun statutes in Bruen. The US v Bullock case in Mississippi in June of 2023 tossed a similar possession case as unconstitutional based on Bruen.

SCOTUS has spoken.

7:14, I think you're wrong. Next you'll tell me that's not a stink-um pine tree hanging from the mirror.

Not so fast 7:29. You can read ten articles re Bruen and get seven different conclusions.

Continuation of Darwin’s theory. Seems to be common occurrence in Jackistan. Along with felons in possession of stolen vehicles and weapons, no licenses, insurance, and multiple catch and release. How can the government elected to protect the citizens think this is ok?

I read each of the decisions and formed my own opinion. You should try it.

As 12:09 states, many of these ferals could have/should have been arrested for various other laws broken.
Yet Democrats will read this and blame the owner of a Ford F150 passing through Jackson who was robbed of his firearm while eating lunch.

If we enforced the current laws, and had an effective judicial system, so much of the COJ's woes could be cured.
But Mississippi's race baiters and useless politicians benefit from the chaos, so I don't expect it to change.

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.
