If Chowke were still mayor this would never have happened, at least not on paper. Right?

Hmmm... just 3 miles from the all new Thalia Mara Hall...

It appears that the Conflict Resolution Class,, Coffee With the Po-Po, nor New Mayor has any effect on the crime in Jackson. As Colander Greene, ex-JPD spokesperson used to say,, “….the victims are deceased at the present time”.

Murder in Jackson??? It’s so rare to have murders in Jackson. I’m shocked!

Don't forget the Real Time Crime Center. It's positive impact should kick in any decade now.

Approximately 3:19 am…..that’s pretty close to 3:19 am.

Are you new here? It's July 6th, we've been in full fledged summer for a while.

They were 'observed suffering' but they were 'deceased'. How does that work?

The entire population of Jackson and most who have been reading this blog for five or more years have become totally numb to homicides.

If bad guys kill bad guys...

Absolutely nothing on Wilmington St. but a junk yard
& used part store. Must have been a drug deal gone wrong!

The past several weeks it seems like there has been a killing every day.

This cancels out of thus no crime. Next case...

I can't wait to watch the new Mayor's remarks about said murders during his fist "full two weeks" in office.

If John repeats any Lumumba shit about
" Interpersonal relationships" .... I will say " I told you so" .

My question is about is about,Kane Ditto.
Sure, he repainted the Mayflower, but that's a far cry from rebuilding Jackson.

2:32. Not that it matters but those would be extremely long blocks

He said miles not blocks. Get you some $1.25 readers from dollar tree.

If the Capitol Police are investigating, does that mean there is a chance the criminal(s) will be arrested?

Anonymous said...

It's not "Interpersonal relationships?" Maybe it's that "open carry" problem that Chowke bloviated about. Right?

When I was a kid growing up in Jackson the only thing on Wilmington Street was a chicken processing plant. Things have changed, but the area is still a killing field.

YES...as soon as they cross into Madison.

Does Capitol Police have access to the same investigative experience ,training and tools as the JPD? What is the command hierarchy and who is responsible since I doubt it's the mayor?
I suspect some commenting also don't know the boundaries of the areas and who will show up if you dial 911.

2 more freed from the land... But what can you expect from a mayor who says "Let's get some stuff done"

Wilmington St. is an industrial area just off Terry Rd. The McCarty chicken plant used to be on that street. The deceased must've been dumped down there.

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.
