When you drop down to 14 police officers, a Chief, and Deputy Chief, this is what happens. They have gotten their numbers closer to 30 but they are still undermanned compared to other towns of similar size. It will take a while to recover from the tenure of Dearman and Pack.

What the hell did they do? They get surprised trying to jack a car or something and just start spraying lead?

From what I have read recently, the police officers are the problem, not the solution.

Brandon should have elected Bo Luckey as mayor. The BPD exodus would not have occurred, and this BS wouldn’t be an issue. Hope these two losers break into the wrong house and get met by some 2A strapped war veteran.

Unfortunately, this has become all too common in the metro suburbs. Society has passively accepted it, it seems. But make no mistake about it, these are little terrorist.

Every morning, the mayor of Brandon looks in the mirror and sees first hand, the problem with the City of Brandon.

Problem with Brandon is the mayor and city alderman. Institutional incompetence has ripple effects.

Butch Lee and the one who actually runs the show and pulls the strings, Lou Coker. That's where the finger pointing needs to be. More concerned with making Brandon a business than the great place it actually is, or was. Should have elected Bo like the poster above said when Butch was running to get elected for his high 4. Maybe the mouthbreathers on Facebook who carry his water have a solution. Lance, talking to you. You helped hire Peavey to run his campaign to beat Bo, not sure what the angle was, but you get what you got.

Let's Go Brandon!

I agree with 12:54. A Chief of Police can not do his job when the Mayor and Alderman tell him what he can do and not do. I voted for Bo Luckey and will continue to vote against the administration.

Google "City of Brandon Mississippi". The return states, "2nd Safest City in Mississippi." I shit you not.

Owner of that home is Tang Hamilton, played bball at Lanier High & Mississippi State. Short stint in NBA (Miami Heat) before playing decade in South America. Wonder why they targeted his home?

Anonymous said...

@ 2:15 - They targeted that house because he's an example of what they resent.

Most failures resent the successful. If these hoodlums owned a car, they would have settled for trashing his mailbox.

2:15 & 4:41…. Hamilton owns the house but he doesn’t and hasn’t lived there. He’s been renting it out since he built it. His sister lives there with her son. Apparently some of her son’s acquaintances needed to get in touch with him last night.

Thanks, 5:12, for that beautifully-phrased explanation of what happened!

It reminds me of that golden moment in 'Shawn of the Dead', when Shawn's mother calmly states, over the phone, "Some men came to the door. They were rather bitey."

The criminal element has moved to ALL of the suburbs surrounding Jackson. As a result more and more people are moving further north in Madison County, east towards Carthage and south towards Mendenhall. Policing helps some but only delays the inevitable. Until there is a change in culture these types of crimes will continue. Madison, Ridgeland, Brandon, Flowood,etc., are not what they once were.
I have been house hunting for the last year and I am surprised by what I have seen.

this is funny as shit until it happens in your subdivision, laugh now and don't tell me to calm down, and my name isn't Francis.

It’s cultural. I feel bad for the decent people who just saw their property values drop.

12:13, I agree with your hope, to wit: “ Hope these two losers break into the wrong house and get met by some 2A strapped war veteran.” I would like to point out though, that it does not take a military veteran to dispose of home invaders and other ne’er-do-wells”. In fact, many veterans are only trained to a minimum level of competency with firearms. A large number of thugs have been disposed of by elderly women, children, handicapped people, and other weaker members of society. “God created Man, but Sam Colt made them equal”. Or something to that effect.

Most of these thugs are hardly competent with firearms. Practice and train a little and you will be their superior. You may still get shot but your odds are better. Decent folks fighting back and destroying the trash is the only way these problems will be fixed, short of a dictator with methods like those of the president of El Salvador. It may come to that one of these days.

What’s going on between mayor and police in Brandon? Are the police unhappy with the mayor?

Lance Stevend said...

Hey, 12:54 anonymous big boy. I supported Butch and have absolutely no regrets. I also love Bo Luckey and he runs the Capitol police like a boss.

I don’t support candidates based on a popularity contest. I support them based upon anticipated results and Brandon is on a 10 year steep ascension. I was right. When you call somebody out, have the guts to use your name, coward.

Anonymous said...

12:54 is correct…The mass exodus of BPD falls on Butch Lee & city alderman. Less cops equals more crime. This administration has done a good job with new sidewalks, gas stations & fast food joints.

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.
