JJ showed you the crazies yesterday and today will show you some cold, rational, hard facts as Dr. Marc Siegel pointed out the high attack rate and overwhelming success of vaccinations in his column. Its a good column and focuses on how measles causes more severe health problems than does the vaccine. Sad that in 2015 the subject is even being debated. Keep reading.

Much noise has been made in various forms of local commentary about the lack of outrage about the death of Chris Summers.

He was indicted 2013 for possession of cocaine with intent to distribute while in possession of a firearm as well.

Original post at 12:01 AM: The mother of Jerome Moore defended her son to reporters today. Moore is charged with several counts of carjacking and one count of capital murder in the death of Carolyn Temple. You have to see this video to believe it.

Photographer accuses attorney, Will Clark, and others of hijacking his company
Renowned photographer Stephen Kirkpatrick filed suit against Mississippi baseball legend Will Clark, attorney Michael Simmons, Chris Bahl, law firm Cosmich, Simmons & Brown, David Holloway, Greg Spring, Daniel Alexander, and Muddy Water Camo, LLS in Hinds County Circuit Court last Tuesday. Mr. Kirkpatrick alleged the defendants participated in a well- camouflaged scheme to force him out of a company he founded and deprive him of his patent.
The complaint states Mr. Kirkpatrick and Stephen Maloney formed Muddy Water in 2010 "to develop camo patterns for licensing to manufacturers of hunting apparel." Mr. Kirkpatrick is one of the leading photographers of wildlife and nature in the world. Mr. Maloney thought there was a demand for camo patterns that used water images in the pattern. He allegedly asked Mr. Kirkpatrick for help in developing the idea. They formed Muddy Water Camo, LLC on May 25, 2010 and applied for a patent on September 16, 2010. The Secretary of State's website states only Mr. Maloney was a member.
