All these 14-19 year olds committing these murders. Where are parents & schools & churches?

These young idiots have semi-automatic and automatic weapons and shoot them randomly. They might hit anybody in the general area whether they were aiming to or not. If they are not disarmed they will kill.

First was the ride, then the trial, but never the "trial ride."

At 18 they may have thrown his derelict ass out of the house and said "good riddance."

Neck Tattoo Theorem: further confirmation of its feasibility. Jackson is a fantastic study venue.

That's one of the salient indicators.

There has to be something society can do about all of these young black males, which is only a very small percentage of the US population, committing most of these murders, primarily other young black males.

White nationalism Christianity has not work out well for the young blacks….

Another one of those 5'6" gunslingers. What's up with that? Napoleonic complex?

The utter disregard for life.
Young people will spray a crowd with bullets and murder an innocent child they genuinely do not care. They will rationalize it as thug-life and feel zero remorse. Its absolutely jarring to witness, and its become so common in certain communities.
Where are the parents, and churches indeed.

Well, what are we going to do about this "culture"?

13 to 23. These are the violent....the enforcers. Then you got the rest in this age group that seem to be purely sociopathic. They simply DGAF about anyone. And it goes beyond the "culture". All kids right now .

Well, he and every other thug, mentally disturbed, intellectually challenged and even the blind have the right to " bear arms" including military grade guns and rifle. So us taxpayers have to pay to clean up the carnage and it's after effects.
For God's sake, we have a test and rules for driving vehicles and require a license that is renewed . We can't have rules for keeping lethal weapons out of the hands of the incompetent or crazy or gang member. All a gang banger has to do is keep the 16 year old member " clean" until he turns 18 and then give him cash to do a gun run to for himself and the gangs arsenal. Great...just great...extremism at it's worst!

When can we start having public executions again? A lot of people tell me thats too barbaric. But having hundreds of people like this kid in the streets isnt? here comes the SPLC lawyers commenting back at me...

That’s the “kul’cha” they scream about. They’re quiet when things like this happen everyday across the US. But when situations like Karmelo Anthony happen, they are out for blood along with their white saviors on the left.

Kids grow up feral everyday...you do not want to give the government the enough authority to make sure they are not neglected and abused. But, we can act when we see animal abuse . You don't want to pay for parenting classes in high school or sex education separately for boys and girls. But, you'll pay for life foster care, in prison or execution.

wonder what started the ruckus? Never tell us that.

He had a hard time growing up in the Mississippi Delta. He went to a failing School District. His homelife isn't like Leave it to Beaver. This poor guy had it rough. He made a mistake but is sorry for what he did.

18 years old, neck tattoo, charged for one murder; should have been turning his life around but sadly no.

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.

Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee? 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. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.
