If you are determined to remain the worst state in the union, you have to provide these kind of conditions in the capitol city, and it appears Jackson is doing that. Why not use inmates to clean up the city like Parchman used to do with growing food . By the way, leg braces greatly reduce these work crews from escape.

Shame on the libtards in city hall for not providing a mattress and pillow!

He loves to take a dump around and about the area.

When is the city going to tear out that ugly ass dried up stupid fountain?

That tree stump looks like it has been there for 20 years. I am sure the mayor has been too busy to ask some city inmate with ankle braces on to dig it up. In my neighborhood, I can promise you there would be a $100.00 fine, but of course I live in Madison county.

WTF?

ACLU will probably pitch a shitfit.

The city of Jackson is truly a pathetic place and an example of incompetent leadership. Loose bricks from the retaining wall, plaster falling off of the sign, paint chipping, etc and appears no one in the city seems to care about even city hall, much less the rest of the city. Jackson used to be a beautiful city but is pure rot and blight now.

Shouldn't Rukia and her people be providing him with a mattress and pillow?

That is just sad. Can community service hours be used to clean up?

These posts seem kind of tacky to me

Pitiful. Democrats are so concerned about allowing illegals to stay in the country, but they're not even taking care of the millions of homeless people that are currently here.

On a side note, Jackson City Hall had some of the most beautiful grounds/ gardens in the 1930's and 1940's. KF, you should try to find a pic to post.

at least have the decency to get out of your car and check on the mofo before using him as clickbait.

I was told the Region’s building sold at auction for $2.1 million! If that is true this is another example of how much the downtown area has declined. I worked downtown from the early 1980’s until 2012 and it was such a nice place, people walked to get coffee, eat lunch, just a nice midsized city. Truly makes me sad that today it is all but abandoned.

The post is tacky but the nasty homeless person living outside of City Hall isn't? No wonder Jackson is the way it is. Smooth brains keep electing shitty leaders who are only concerned about themselves.

The Dems have created the homeless problem. It's an industry with "homeless non-profits" receiving millions of our taxpayer money which funds huge salaries, luxury cars, travel, etc. etc.

Trustmark was going to rennovate their building but did the math and after spending 10 million (or somewhere in that ballpark) they'd only have a 10 million building. Needless to say they stopped. Only got through reno for HR.

Um, isn't he supposed to be at Taste (sorta in Fondren) with a tiger and some kings, puttin' out the grown vibes (only)?

It seems cheap to snap a picture of someone struggling and make it go viral. It's much harder to think about a systemic problem, let alone actually do something about it.

Hell, they'd send you to court like they did me for a few fence boards. Love/hate for Madison The City.

How dare someone take a pic or video of one of the many homeless lingering about the city of Jackson without clothing and feeding him first. I mean where is the right to privacy for someone who chooses to reside on the public grounds outside City Hall? That's his home!!! (drips with sarcasm)

The COJ is building a nice grassy area next by to the 2 museums & First Baptist Church, Jackson. This will be an excellent place for the homeless to gather. So, when church is attended and the little school kids get off the school buses to go to the museums they get an eyeful of the floppers. Great planning city hall.

I was once working with an architect on a property being redeveloped in downtown, and at one stage in the planning, the question of creating some adjacent green space came up. His response was quick and specific: "urban park areas sound good on the front end, but what they usually end up becoming is sleeping areas."

Dead on.

Whew! I’m glad to see him on the job. He is working hard to ensure the concrete benches don’t move. It would be terrible for City Hall if they disappeared.

Anonymous said...

How long has he been on the city payroll? Is it a "no show" job if he sleeps on city property?

Kingfish: With regularity you post videos that either won't play or redirect the viewer to another site. Almost as aggravating as your courtroom audios.

Kingfish said...

There is nothing wrong with the video. The problem is you.

It is actually being built by the state at the insistence of the Mississippi Department of Archives and History. The park is expected to cost ten million dollars! Yes, you read that correctly. It is supposed to be a spot where visitors to the museums can go and "reflect" about their experiences there. There is plenty of green space in front of the museums. You are right, 2:51.

Jackson is a hell hole. It’s garbage. Just like their leaders.

Let the whole thing rot. Good riddance.

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.

Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets.
