Jackson Jambalaya

Too sad. Prayers for everyone.

Jimmy, you really are a terrible person. Your desire for clicks and bolstering of ego and narcissism knows no bounds. Let the family grieve. You are a sorry human being. God will judge you too one day.

You are really posting this about a 15 year old that made a bad decision?

WLBT broke the news at 8:34. JPD sent out a press release identifying him after 8 tonight. WAPT broke it at 8:19. Are y’all over there giving those tv stations hell for reporting it? Are you giving them hell for “clicks”. Of course not.

And yall read it, and still commenting.... its F****** NEWS! If you dont like it dont read and comment!!! Wonder which JPS school he came from

There’s no reason for comments. Shut it down.

A kid is dead.

Actions have consequences, and the reality is brutal. No excuses. But at 15, you’re still largely a product of what you were handed. That’s the tragedy.

Those are news outlets. You’re not. You run a gossip blog.

Those new outlets didn’t report where he was formerly enrolled at school because it’s not relevant to this situation. A family lost their 15 year old due to a bad choice.

What number does Myles wear? 25 to life?

Last time I checked a bad choice is real life... regardless of age, sex or race... we aren't in Kansas toto, u cant click your heels 3 times and perform a miracle.

Oh, it's you. What gossip do I publish? I've asked you before and you're too chicken to give any examples.

I remember the Kingston Frazier case. None of y'all griped when I broke the news one suspect was the recent qb at Ridgeland High School. Everyone is reporting this story because JPD issued a press release identifying the deceased and suspect.

What the hell was a 15 year old freshman in high school doing out at 2:30 AM breaking into apartments anyway?

The sooner Karma knocks on your door, KF, the better.

Why are JA defenders mad at KF? Does the news of this not align with “JA is bliss” narrative? This news outlet is simply reporting the news like all other news outlets.

Everything KF reported is news, so you snowflakes need to get over it, even if you’re afraid the facts reflect poorly on JA. I quite frankly don’t see why anyone would be upset over KF picking up something the mainstream media has already broken.

This boy was my friend and a great kid. It’s not his fault he grew up in poor conditions, this could have very well been a peer pressure situation. No one should speak down on him because no one knew him. May he rest in peace.

@9:11 if it knocks it should be fine.. if you kick the door in your as good as this stories main character. There are laws for a reason.

A 15 year old kid was killed. It shouldn’t matter where he formerly went to school and the headline shouldn’t lead with it. But, KF is capitalizing on the Voyles lawsuit and looking for clicks. That’s the problem.

I see this crap every day with my job... "my baby aint bad" "he didnt mean it" " I promise it won't happen again" and guess what even on Sunday they make "bad decisions". This one just won't make another one!

God will judge us all one day. We all need to keep that in mind.

I’ve yet to see a cohesive argument explaining why KF shouldn’t have run this story. I’m thinking the JA crowd is horrified that their recruiting has bit them so hard in the ass, especially with the Voyles case in the news, and these karma comments are them grasping at straws.

So you didn't know about this side of your friend reckless enough to home invade masked @ 2 am? You think he was dealing with peer pressure and you said nothing? Not sure you actually knew him either.

That’s the problem.

Not a problem at all. Free enterprise. Don't like it? Tough.

Does KF post about every teenager shot and killed in Jackson? If not, why this one?

Lot of JA campers mad Voyles was right lmao

I didn't see y'all griping about this post. Oh yeah, that's because it's them.

Matthew 7:1-5

Kingfish reports the raw news and doesn’t leave out details. Sometimes it’s tough to swallow, but it is the news. Appreciate KF and what he does for the community bc we sure can’t get real info from any other news sources.

@9:25..... sir,mam... if I may..... 15 year olds are killed nearly everyday in the same city in which this happened. And some even younger. I don't think a lawsuit has to do with any of them, yet it IS reported about the judges and how gracious they are in that city and county. .... let me guess this "sunday school child " was merely going into the wrong apartment to get a bible to read... he won't do it again.peer pressured or not

I haven’t seen heartfelt message from JA memorializing loss of one of their own. C’mon JA. At least act like you pretend to care

I CAN NOT wait to hear ole Clay speak facts tomorrow... (hoping he reads this and gives a shout out) Poor Pookie FAFO'd... his "friend " myles tucked tail and hauled ass.

@9:38, whatever KF decides to publish or not, isn't your call so your questions don't f'ing matter. That's the bottom line, you HAVE NO SAY in the decision making associated with KF's media business. Essentially, you are nothing more than a complaining ZERO.

Those criticizing KF for publishing news must think protecting JA is more important than posting relevant news. If I had a kid at JA, you are damn right I'd want to know he attended school there two months ago. It's tragic for everyone but don't yell at KF for posting news.

I think KF posts on at least 50% of the cases in the Jackson metro where someone uses a gun to defend themselves against a criminal committing a criminal act.

This alleged criminal just happened to be 15. His alleged accomplice was 18. Old enough to have a gun, old enough to commit a violent crime, old enough to kill, old enough to F*ck Around, old enough to Find Out.

Don’t know who these people are hating on Kingfish. JA people? One person commenting over and over again?

A 15 year old is way old enough to know better than to try to break into somebody’s home wearing a ski mask with a gun.

The people of Jackson should be allowed to know what allegedly happened. It’s public safety.

Never did it say he had a gun and if it did and i misread the tweet is LOUD AND WRONG

@9:41 unfortunately this group probably has no clue what verse you’re referencing.

Good one though.

?This boy was my friend and a great kid. It’s not his fault he grew up in poor conditions, this could have very well been a peer pressure situation. No one should speak down on him because no one knew him. May he rest in peace."
February 8, 2026 at 9:21 PM

"Great" kids Kick In Doors @ 0230 hrs in the morning at women's homes???...If you ran with this kid where you gonna be @ 0230hrs in the morning???

The kids who knew this child while he was at JA say he was was sweet and funny kid. He left and who knows what crowd he was running with. So sorry that these 15 year olds didn’t jump on JJ to leave their heartfelt comments. Check Snap…you’ll find all the messages you have been missing.

@10:08 who gives a sh*t if he had a gun or not.... come into my house with or without a gun and you will be laid down, just as he was. And no charges will be filed... again please review state laws, not the "jackson way".

Galatians 6:7

7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

If you sow by breaking and entering at 2:30 AM, then you may reap some lead.

@10:16 why check snap.... get in the real world instead of social media...you are just as bad as these damn kids! No wonder why they do stupid acts in their lives.

So many tough guys on this blog….

@9:21...
I "grew up in poor conditions" also, but I was smart enough to not try a home invasion at 2AM with a ski mask and a gun. Stop making excuses. Millions of others like me who "grew up in poor conditions" fixed the problem by making good grades in school and moving on to be constructive citizens.....

"Great kids" don't commit felonious violent home invasions. Period.

I’m going to summarize some of the comments, in two categories:

1. Unless KF writes a story on every single crime in the metro area, then he can’t report on any of them without being biased and racist.

2. Calling out bad behavior is a sin.

That’s basically a criminal’s wishlist.

Kids, don’t run with gangbangers.

These kinds of stories need to be told to show that consequences are real.

Oh good grief Boomer. He was looking for “heartfelt messages” from JA people. I was simply directing him to the place he could find said messages. Kids use Snap, not a blog run by and commented on by adults who clearly didn’t have enough fun at their Super Bowl parties to be in bed already.

By all accounts of the kids who he went to JA with he was a very nice kid. Unfortunately his parents could not afford to send him there after Christmas. Prayers for his family and friends.

My 16 year old son knew this boy from JA and was very shocked and shook up by this. At the same time, he understands that the woman who shot him did the right thing by protecting her life and he’d want me to do the same thing in her position. This is just sad all around, but anyone with simple reading ability should expect to be killed breaking in a home in the middle of the night wearing a ski mask. Or at anytime wearing anything. If anyone enters my home illegally, I assume they are there to do us tremendous harm and probably kill us and I will shoot them. I don’t want to kill anyone, but at that point it’s them or us.

There are numerous crimes committed by high school age young men reported here and in the other media. I have not noticed KF making a point of their high school attendance in his headlines...until this one. It's OK though since KF makes no pretense about his feelings regarding JA. Expect no more.

I wonder if the easily triggered sensitive types know they aren’t forced to come here? But they do it anyways because they love it and they need it in their miserable lives.

Untrue. In no way does it reflect poorly on JA. It reflects poorly on the parents who failed him. Full stop.

Li don’t understand these parents that are mad at KF. Wouldn’t you like to know what type of kids are walking the halls with yours? Why are you even paying for private school when you can get this type of action for free at any of the publics.

@KF
Actually, it is not me. It is someone else.
And I have replied several times with with proof that your site is a little pissant gossip blog, and you either block the comment or just reply “oh is that the best you’ve got, girlfriend” in your best RuPaul impersonation.

The comments here criticizing KF for posting this or any other news story are pathetic. And many of these posters are likely too _______ dumb to realize just how much their pro-censorship, hide the news due to their personal greedy agenda’s…..affects lives.

Every action has a _______ reaction..…but you “suppress the news” tools are too ______ dumb to know that this story right here on JJ will have a major effect on the lives of some…..due to the decisions they will make simply by having this information.

If any of you meet anybody that has the balls to admit that any information about this murder should have been suppressed simply because the criminal attended JA, run like hell from that person. Because they are either evil, or really _______ stupid.

Actually significant details are missing here. Where is the bit about the break-in? And it’s likely felony murder charge (death while committing a felony). So I had to read elsewhere.

Overlooked item in this story is the 18 year old was charged with murder, per local news. In other words, he got the 15 year old killed. Seems like a step too far to charge the other perp with murder. Homeowner made a righteous choice. Those thieves could have easily stolen her gun and used it on her. BTW, why did they pick her apartment? This is a relevant story for Northeast Jackson for many reasons and KF was professional in providing just the facts, m'am.

Overlooked? It's right there in the post. Try reading it.

The 18 year old was charged under the well-established principle of imputed intent. A home invasion is just a whole 'nother level of crime. If the parents cared enough to send him to JA for a semester (and he wasn't recruited for football), where was that care when he was out at 2:00 a.m.? I'm sorry, but that kid's death was entirely avoidable BY HIM.

MS has a "felony murder" statute. Hopefully the 18-year old will be charged under that statute. Jody could pat himself on the back if this is charged.

These stories are important as they may educate and deter other yutes from such felonious foolishness.

It is news and should be posted. But why do the medial outlets (including this blog) link him to a former school? We see this in a lot of reporting now; so-n-so got arrested doing this or that, he/she was a student at X school, X team, X profession, worked for X business, attended X event; in most of the cases this information is not pertinent to the reason for the arrest.

In this case, a former student and a case that appears unrelated to the school of his choice; is it news to report the specific school? Is there a trend of bad outcomes with this school? (likely not)

I wonder why they chose this apartment. Was it random? Did they know the resident?

I wonder why that particular apartment was broken into and how the shooter was able to get her gun so quick.Probably a lot more to this story. But two criminal kids are off the street and society MAY be safe from them for now.

I think it’s only a matter of time before there’s violence on that campus.

I tell you exactly why it’s pertinent. These type of crimes involving JA students typically don’t happen. Completely out of the norm until lately

How dare KF report on news that I don't like! I had no issue with the news that Spencer Pittman went to St. Joe, but this is totally different because my kids go to JA. Unrelatedly, @7:46 this has nothing to do with "principle of imputed intent" it's felony murder plain and simple—if anyone dies (including a conspirator) during the commission of a violent felony everyone involved can be charged with murder.

She got her gat so quickly because she was in bed and her gat was likely nearby. Duh.

February 9, 2026 at 6:12 AM
How many cellphones has MDOC taken from you Polo?

It is shocking that this young man attended JA. That is news. You don't hear of JA students, current or former, committing violent felonies at 2 a.m.
And you pretentious windbags bemoaning KF for posting this are the same people that bitch about the articles he posts that "ain't local news" because it occurred in Shreveport or Birmingham or wherever. You're just finding reasons to look cool by hating. Grow the hell up.

1. Voyles lawsuit
2. Shay Hodge firing
3. Armed robbery

Not a good start of the year for JA. Anyone wanna guess what will be next….

I’m glad my kids are in Madison County

If these young men would have just asked the young lady what they wanted in the early hours of the morning wearing masks they would probably get, a yes, no or Im calling the Police response.
We have to do better raising our children, start real young, say no and mean it!
I thank God for all the no’s! If you won’t or can’t raise your youngings two things will happen; the sheriffs bed and breakfast will house them or the undertaker will but them IN THE GROUND.
My suggestion buy a life policy, this may ease the grieving process!

8:03, you were wondering how she got her gun so quick. I’m guessing she didn’t have to be quick. The perps probably knocked on the door to see if anyone was home. They didn’t get a response because she was too scared to answer the door at 0230, but it gave her time to arm and position herself. Imagine their surprise after kicking in the door to be greeted by muzzle flashes.

Looks like JA beat out Parchman for a recruit, only to lose him to the Grim Reaper.

When 2 brothers were reported years ago & picked up for breaking in cars the 1st words out of Grandma’s mouth is “They don’t have no daddy.” Mother had sent them from IL where they had been in trouble at 13 &12 yo. Responsibility lies solely on the parents or whomever has custody. Law enforcement can of baby sit or turn around all young persons after 15 to 18 years of no consequences or discipline in a home. I am sorry for the person who had to protect their life by shooting someone. This was not I am sure what they wanted either. Know that it could have been you killed at 2:30 am as well. You have our prayers also.

Geez, I disagree with KF on many things but this is the only credible news source covering the metro-area. WAPT/WLBT/WJTV are jokes. The CL is always days late when they finally decide the carry something. Ms Today? Oh please no!

@7:46 AM, why shouldn’t the school information be posted? What about the cases that are “pertinent?” Exactly what is causing your thirst for censorship?

Parents have a right to know everything about every school in order to make what are incredibly important decisions that will likely have major effects on the lives of their children for decades to come. @7:16 PM on the other thread stated “The market will determine if it (JA’s recruiting of non-tuition paying players) is Okay.”

So let’s make sure “the market” is well informed about everything JA…..so parents can make an educated decision as to where they should spend large amounts of their money on a private school education (to a school that may be putting pretend state championships ahead of the students with parents that pay).

This is a really weird post for all the JA folks to get mad at. When a 15 year old dies, where he went to school is pretty much always a part of the story.

Sorry KF, but you don't get to play the "i'm just reporting the news" on this one. Nowhere in the WLBT online article did it mention anything about former JA student. My guess... you got a little nudge from Voyles on this one. If JA wasn't in the news this topic would look a lot different.

Wow. These NE Jxn elite JA parents are really upset with you KF.
Don't you know you are not allowed to report news that they don't approve of?

This kid did deserve better.
So maybe you snowflakes can focus on re-establishing the value of the nuclear family and kids going to church.
His parent failed him. And its way past time we start shaming them.
Stop glorifying a life of crime and teach your kids to work hard and earn things.

Nobody seems to mind when college athletes who get arrested and schools are mentioned.
Stop clutching your pearls.

Sometimes it takes a while for people to realize they are on a sinking ship.

When they finally realize their ship is sinking some of them get mad.

It's not fun when they realize they might have picked the wrong ship and captain to trust their children with.

Can they help with saving their ship? Or do they just need to get in the lifeboats?

If they are here pissing and moaning, that's a choice. A choice that misplaces the blame for all the water coming through the holes in their ship.

KF @7:05
Charging an accomplice with murder was not explained in your post nor mentioned in Comments section. Lacking in any legsl expertise that stood out to me as peculiar and I can't see how that charge stands, but I'd like to know the legal links to justify the charge.

Has JA hired a crisis communications consultant yet?

Oh really? Straight from the post "At approximately 5:28pm detectives advised Myles had been arrested and charged with Murder.". Charged with murder. Says so right there.

Didn't get a "nudge" from Voyles. Never have heard anything from them about anything. Not directly or indirectly or through friends of friends.

@9:26 AM - Let me help you. "n Mississippi, felony murder occurs when a death results from the commission of a felony, and it can lead to severe penalties, including life imprisonment or the death penalty. The law assumes that if a defendant is engaged in a felony, they possess the intent necessary for a murder charge, even if they did not directly cause the death.

Common felonies that can trigger felony murder charges include:
Robbery
Burglary
Arson
Kidnapping
Rape

Too many are making wrong choices that hurt them and others. Then I read the comments. I understand why the young ones are allowed to live this life when the bleeding hearts are defending the illegal actions as ok since they are: poor, did not have a good upbringing, he got in with wrong crowd, he was on the streets, it’s our culture. He was 15, too young to die for any reason, especially by violence. You self serving idiots wasting your time griping about a news article does not negate the fact he and other youngsters are playing dangerous games with their lives. And no body in their life seems to care.

If I were a JA parent, I would be demanding to know the answers to theses questions:
1. why this kid got admitted?
2. who made the decision to admit him?
3.And who paid for it?

Thou shalt not speak negative about the JA as they have protected status with the NE Jackson/CCJ/Fondren elites.

No official word from JA at all. Crickets! Was the kid not worth it to them? C'mon JA...he was more than an above-average size freshman who could tackle. Show some respect

this case kinda reminds me of that incident over in eastover back about 2016 when 2 disadvantaged youths attempted the kidnapping and car jacking of a retired doctor.
little did they know the retired doctor was also an accomplished competition shooter.
as a matter of fact the doctor was in the process of loading his truck to travel to a competitive shooting event.

the doctor managed to get to one of his many guns and ice the first disadvantaged youth and the other took of running and was later captured.
(considering the speed he showed running away he too probably would have made a good JA football player as well.)

the news media and law enforcement moved heaven and earth to suppress that incident but the truth leaked out eventually .


im still waiting for the city of jackson to throw a ticker tape parade for the doctor.
somehow i think its going to be a long wait.

ZERO sympathy for a thief, teenager or not.

9:58 you would likely get called a racist for demanding answers to those questions and possibly even kicked out.

JJ is a prime news source for the Metro area.

If I had a kid there, I would be demanding a response by the head master and board. I would want my kid to have access to a counselor. I would demand a parent meeting in the gym to discuss what happened and the direction the school is going.

He had friends and classmates there. This a 15 year child. A freak human being that is dead now.

Some of yall would have lost your shit 50 years ago when the newspaper articles would not only identify the suspect, but also their age, race, and their home street address right there in the newspaper.

'Elites' are people who can fly internationally, without the mandatory vaccines. Elites can throw big birthday parties during lockdowns - with nobody wearing masks - even though masks and distancing are mandated for non-elites. That sort of thing...

There a couple of 'Elites' in and around Jackson (for part of the year, anyway). But their progeny don't go to JA.

This wasn’t a bad choice, this was a criminal choice. Teenagers are old enough to know something like breaking into a home is very very bad.

And 18 year old Q dog is slam dunk guilty of getting his 15 year old friend killed

but he can lean on the joke Hinds County DA to take over and slap his wrist
JA is doomed

I grew up poor and I had no idea so many would defend my right to become a criminal because of it.
Thank God my parents did not care that we had nothing and still expected me to get a scholarship and better myself.
Perhaps nobody told them that it was not their parental duty to teach me to be a good productive member of society since we were broke?

Played on 8th grade team.

Kingfish covered that story extensively. Kingfish produced the tip that led to the identity, arrest and eventual conviction of the second suspect.

That's not going to happen because JA doesn't want to claim as student since he wasn't current student. Football season was over last semester

The Voyles email to the principal basically said bad things are more likely to happen because JA is allowing a bunch of public school athletes to transfer to JA. Well?

Mr Eddie: was Mrs. Voyles email wrong? I don’t think armed robbery occurs in public school. At least not in Madison’s. Thank God we are there.

Bullseye.

Hopefully Myles gets convicted. But the other case mentioned in recent comments with the Dr.... the 2nd (living) perp didn't even get indicted much less convicted for murder. That was when RSS was DA and the ADA was now disgraced Ivon Johnson.

RSS, scumbag that he was, did not believe in using the felony murder rule. If he did, Chelsae Kirschten's killer would be in prison. He buried the Chauncey Reed case until this correspondent told Owens about it, who found it and prosecuted it. Thanks to MBI because when I told someone over there, they called Owens and sent him a copy file. Turned out RSS had destroyed his own copy of the file. That is what happens when your DA is paid by drug dealers as well as being their customer.

Thanks, Kingfish, for all of your news stories. I honestly do appreciate knowing I can come here and get the real story/news, and often times more information from even the comments. I appreciate you.

Maybe not all of them, but often, yes, he does.

Unless I'm remembering a different case, fairly certain Andre Kennedy was convicted though not for murder.

Does JA not have standards that transfer students must meet like passing some sort of entrance exam and an interview of the student and his/her parents to ensure they're a fit on campus?

Chelsae Kirschten's killer would be in prison . . . I believe he is in prison, having received 30 years for the murder?

Maybe I'm thinking of someone else.

I am not speaking on behalf of the entire JA family—that is not my role. I am speaking only for my own family, though I am confident many others feel the same.

Many of us learned of this tragedy last night. Many more will learn of it today.

I heard about it from my son, who played football with this young man. He didn’t know him well, but he knew him well enough for this to affect him—and I’m certain it will affect many JA students who were former teammates or classmates. My son and I had a long conversation about the sanctity of life, the reality that tomorrow is never guaranteed, the influence of the people we surround ourselves with, and the fact that actions carry consequences.

The last thing he asked me was whether I thought people would use this tragedy as another opportunity to trash JA. I told him I hoped people would have the decency to allow some time before doing so. I was wrong.

To be clear: I do not excuse or condone the poor decisions and circumstances that led to this tragedy, nor do I fault the homeowner for defending their home. I would expect the same outcome if my own child were involved in similar activity, and I would have taken the same action to protect my family if I were in that situation.

I also want to be clear that I don’t personally know this young man. I don’t know the circumstances surrounding his enrollment at JA, his departure, his family life, or his home environment. It’s entirely possible that he lacked a positive male role model. Speaking personally, my own life trajectory was dramatically altered by a few men who chose to invest in me—one of them my high school football coach. Prior to COVID, I spent several years in prison ministry mentoring inmates, and a recurring theme I heard time and again was the absence of a father or positive male influence at home.

It’s possible that JA was the best place for this young man to receive that kind of influence—if he wasn’t getting it elsewhere. Or maybe not. We’ll never know. And I’m certain a thoughtful, honest discussion about that will not take place on this platform.

So, to those who view this tragedy as a victory in your crusade against JA—congratulations. You win. I hope you enjoy the celebration. I’m sure I’ll see many of you at church on Sunday.

For the record, I never supported illegal recruiting, if that did in fact occur. But I also don’t support publicly trashing kids and their families simply because they chose to enroll at JA during their high school years. Both are wrong. One is not more righteous than the other.

Feel free to direct your criticism toward me if you’d like. It won’t matter—I’m signing off this platform for good and won’t see it anyway. N

Everything you wrote deserves respect.

I suspect they have entrance tests for all. Would be surprised if they didn't.

It won’t matter—I’m signing off this platform for good and won’t see it anyway.

Spare us the anonymous disengagement tantrum. You'll circle back to peek in to see how the commentariat responded because you spent all that time writing your ego note. It is all performative BS.

Yes, JA has an entrance exam that has to be taken.

2:22 PMs post does deserve respect; and so do the families making decisions on where to send their children to school, especially if they are making the sacrifices required to pay the huge costs for private school.

There’s an old saying about the truth being neither good nor bad; the truth just is. And the cold hard reality is suppressing this news would be beyond sinful, since parents have the right to know whether or not their children’s education and safety…..are THE priorities.

"Whoever rebukes a person will in the end gain favor rather than one who has a flattering tongue." Proverbs 28:23

@2:22 With all due respect for all involved but sorry this was an excellent opportunity to trash JA. Too good to be be wasted. Right KF?

Nobody "wants" to trash JA; folks want JA leadership to be held accountable for admitting students with questionable backgrounds, including the one that just broke into an apartment armed.

Still no official word from JA on this matter? That is unbelievably inept! Especially, since the targeted home was that of another JA student

Prepare to be surprised.

This is not about JA. Get a life. A kid tragically died. At least have the common decency to refrain from trashing the kid. Also, the kid was not a current JA student. Why would they post an official message about him? Again, get a life.

Notwithstanding 2:22’s diatribe, reporting on a burglar’s death does not constitute trashing that person. The trashing I see in these comments are against the JA supporters who trashed KF for simply reporting the story.

Why did they target the apartment of a current JA student? What were they trying to steal?

Their trashing why he mentioned his “former school”. What was his current school and why was that not mentioned. What school did the 18 year go to?

It’s seems like to me that theJA community is doing all the bashing on here. Yall had a student athlete die committing a felony, sorry but that’s news. Maybe JA doesn’t know how to handle it but some public schools deal with it all too often

Actually, there is a connection and a reason why this is pertinent; hasn't been publically reported yet, but as the facts come out you might learn the 'association' with the kid's former school. Gotta connect the dots, but the entire picture hasn't been put in front of you or the public yet.

Sorry…meant to reply earlier. I was tending to my life, my family. Yes, as sad as it may seem to you, my life revolves around family. And, when I choose to spend 20K to send my daughter to JA, I’m concerned. The vetting/admission standards at JA are lax at best. My daughter is my world, and I’m no longer comfortable with her at JA. The emphasis on sports is paramount, and academics has seemed to take a back seat. Today, when I asked how her day went, she said everyone was talking about the former student. I asked what the school said about it, and she said nothing. How does a school not say anything to students who are all clearly talking about it. Does JA really think this is going to dust away in a few days without addressing? Leadership seems non-existent

I have a 10th grade student at JA. He isn’t involved in sports but knew him. He is devastated about his death. He cried when we talked about this tonight at home. This is a human being.

Folks- A 15 year old kid is dead. It’s horrible. No doubt about it. Don’t bash him. All of us are more fortunate than him.

JA- address it, help out grieving kids. He was enrolled a month ago.

This is horrible no matter what

@7:48 just curious what firsthand knowledge do you have regarding the school’s vetting and admissions standards?

@8:17 PM is correct - “This is a human being.” “All of us are more fortunate than him.”

And as parents we should step up like ADULTS and tell our children exactly why this 15-year-old human being was less fortunate. We should teach them why horrifically murdered innocent 6-year-old Kingston Frazier was less fortunate, why the 2 children killed inside of their homes by stray bullets within a 10-day period, were less fortunate.

And most of all we should call out the idealistic, change the world, rich JA’ers that got behind and supported Chokwe Lumumba early on…..helping make Jackson, MS EXACTLY what it is today. And those same people want JA to be a certain way as well…..but we can’t talk about them, can we?

We never hold anybody accountable for these disastrous tragedies. We just keep hearing _______ excuses.

@3:22 "Nobody "wants" to trash JA"...Nobody "wants" to trash JA"....Nobody "wants" to trash JA??? .......You gotta be kidding.

You had a nice nice post until the “rich JA’ers” supporting Chockwe got you off the rails.

That's not totally "off the rails", it's not a bad assessment of part of the problem. Wealthy, entitled, sheltered, falsely-virtuous Dem voters who voted for Chockfulashit so they could feel good about themselves. And, like most on the left, they are seen here cowering when presented with facts and less-than-glamorous truths about real life when they are directly impacted and not looking down from afar upon their lily white pedestals.

We just had a young thug killed and another teen charged with murder and home invasion. It happens in Jackson too often and we have a short discussion. We never discuss the school they attend. That's never a relevant point. It never seems to matter. On this blog it seems the only relevant factor is Jackson Academy. Why is that?

So many JA blue bloods are big mad at this factual, criminal story.
Seems they were far less mad when a Carolyn's private non-relevant emails were made public?
Weird.

@9:54 AM if memory serves the school was also reported when a thug murdered Kingston Frazier. The fact that JA being mentioned bothers you is one thing, but fact that you ask this question with all that’s recently happened at JA, is shocking.

@7:43, you’re either in the know or ill-informed. How about “silver spoon fed” supporters of Chockwe?

Y'all complaining about this being published. Let this be a lesson to teens that think they know better. Heed this warning, adults do not play around when you choose to mess with their homes or or businesses. Adults have grown tired of being victims of criminals. Is your life worth a little bit of money and a few trinkets? Don't make the mistake that you value our belongings more than you value your life. DEATH IS FOREVER.

Parents, let this incident act as a warning so young Kaden didn't die for absolutely nothing, but over his own stupidity and callous desires to invade someone's home. Discipline your children, teach them right or wrong in the most egregious manner. You may save their life!

@9:54 name another example of a JA student being murdered while committing a felony. I’ll wait forever because it’s never happened. That’s why it’s relevant. We pay almost $20k/yr so our kids don’t have to go to school with kids committing felonies. Call that racist or whatever you want but you can’t say it’s not true.

11:03 No, the dog whistle was KF's headline not the robbery and shooting itself which is the point of 9:54. It got the intended reaction. Congrats KF

Please explain how a clear, concise, factually-accurate headline is a f**king "dog whistle"? Quit using terms you don't understand to obfuscate and deflect away from subjects you don't want to discuss. That's disingenuous and ignorant.

I love this blog and appreciate Kingfish for doing this, but people are upset that the only school mentioned in the headline was the former school JA. Not the 15-year-old's current school or the school's history of the 18-year-old. There seem to be selective mentions of schools. It received clicks and comments, so I guess it served its intended purpose.

Disingenuous, yes. Ignorant, no.

@11:03 knows full well what he/she/they want to accomplish. First, bully Kingfish to pull his punches. Second, intimidate Kingfish's publishing decisions going forward. Third, find a way to seriously harm, and better yet, shutdown JJ -- a legal private business.

Name just one other media business in Mississippi that willingly engages the comments and opinions of its audience in such a way as does JJ. Kingfish could shitcan their comments every single day but instead he allows them the protective cover of anonymity and reliably they seethe the absolute ugly that lives amongst us.

No single journalist in Mississippi has exposed more in the past decade+ than Kingfish and the left/liberals/Democrats/alphabets/alt-journos/racialists/haters won't tolerate anyone impeding their efforts to control the narrative.

THOSE ARE THE FACTS.

How many times are going to deposit a variant of the same comment?

KF is reporting the NEWS. Factual news.. Just because You do not like it does not make it untrue. Just because it backs what the parents suing JA says, does not make it untrue. Look, I see both sides here, but KF is not the problem.

What 10:27 said 💯

Love anonymous comments because you can actually get the truth without the fear of being labeled racist, fascist, xenophobe or any of the other catchy terms Dems like to throw around these days. I would love to see JA put out an anonymous survey surrounding current trajectory of school. The results would be eye-opening to "leadership"

You forgot the RINOs.

I like coming to JJ for the legitimate news that I on occasion stumble upon here. KF does do a deeper dive than most on certain stories. But some of these comments are sickening and indicative of many of the troubles that plague our society. I know, I know…..I’m a snowflake. But, some of you people really need to spend more time with Jesus. Seriously.

That was the driver. The two others went free.

Recruiting has been going on for years. All private schools have. I’m so sick of all this
