Open carry zealot in Houston walks around wearing a kilt and an AR-15 slung on his hip. He refuses to give his name or ID when asked by a cop and of course is carrying a video camera. Just watch the video.

Harrison payments to Health Assurance match dates cited in Martin indictment. Coincidence?
A company that was a prime beneficiary of MDOC's no-bid contract policy under Chris Epps also landed a lucrative contract with Harrison County for providing medical services to its inmates. MDOC paid Health Assurance, LLC more than $49 million for medical services to MDOC prisons from 2003 to 2014 while Harrison paid more than $14 million. Incredibly, the dates of the payments coincide with dates cited by prosecutors for when now-deceased Harrison County Supervisor William Martin accepted bribes in his indictment.

The Atlantic asks "What is Isis?"
Frozen in today and want something to read? The Atlantic published a very thorough and thought-provoking piece on the threat posed by the Islamic State as well as its origins. Laughing at the Islamic State brings much peril but ignoring IS is something Americans are prone to do. One of the dangers of being surrounded by two oceans. Out of sight and out of mind. Pour a nice drink and read. This is a good one.

WSJ: Moynihan's concerns about the breakdown of the black family are still right.
The Wall Street Journal's Jason Riley argues that Moynihan was right in his predictions about the breakdown in the black family and its effect on society. Talk to cops, judges, and anyone else who works in the criminal justice system and they will say that absentee fathers are a leading factor in youths who engage in a life of crime. One observation was rather penetrating:
In 2012 the poverty rate for all blacks was more than 28%, but for married black couples it was 8.4% and has been in the single digits for two decades.Mr. Riley writes:

Was accused killer free due to a case of mistaken parole?
Accused killer Marcus Mallett was released from prison on November 21, 2014 due to a grant of parole. He was convicted in Madison County on August 3, 2011 of several felonies and sentenced to serve 12 years in prison. He was later indicted in Hinds County for escape and several charges of auto burglary. Clinton PD issued a "detainer" on Mallett. Clinton PD withdrew the detainer on November 13, 2014 as he had served his short sentence. However, records show the Parole Board was not aware of the withdrawal nor that it was related to the expired sentence and released Mallett- thinking he was going to stay in the criminal justice system. JPD charged him with allegedly killing 21 year-old Shanitra Ramsey on February 5. JPD also charged him for shooting Ramsey's friend several times as he fled the scene. .

Speaker and Dems condemn Kennuf Alday
Speaker of the House Phillip Gunn and several leading Democrats criticized Representative Gene Aldray for his remarks in the Clarion-Ledger yesterday:
Amendment aimed at Supertalk?
The Old Warhorse actually pulled it off. Representative Jerry Turner's bill that would reform the state contracting process passed the House last week. Bill status and language. However, one little amendment was added from the floor. Representative Cecil Brown (D-Moscow) offered an amendment that would require all state advertising and marketing contracts be opened up for competitive bidding if over $5,000. The bill itself states that all contracts not exempted that are over $5,000 and has a different set of rules for those over $50,000:

Senate passes autism insurance coverage bill. (Video of debate)
The Senate passed a bill requiring insurance companies to cover ABA therapy* for children suffering from autism and related disorders. It is the only effective method for treating autism. The Senate passed the bill on a 39-6 vote although a small group of conservative senators put up a fight on the floor. The Clarion-Ledger reported:
Here we go again
13 auto burglaries at the Cabot Lodge on North State Street last night. All were trucks and yes, guns were stolen. The police were never called and the new security guard reported blew off reports of suspicious activity in the parking lot. This is not the first such episode at this particular hotel as an AR-15 was stolen out of a DWFP truck last year.

Flowood robber was remanded to file in Jackson. (UPDATE)
Update: MDOC reponded to a JJ inquiry regarding whether it would revoke Carter's probation with this statement: "We have asked that a hold be placed on this offender for probation violation." MDOC now wants Carter. It remains to be seen if the Hinds County District Attorney will revive the armed robbery charge that was remanded to file. Question for Mr. Carter: How does it feel to be so popular? Flowood wants you, MDOC wants you, even Robert Schuler Smith might want you.
Original post on 2-11-15: Flowood Poh-lice arrested Carter and Sharonda Willis last week for a string of armed robberies of Flowood gas stations. WLBT reported on February 4:

WSJ: Young people turning away from starting businesses
Starting your own business is part of the American Dream. Take the risks, struggle, and hopefully earn the rewards that come from owning a successful business. The Wall Street Journal reported last month that young people are shying away from this path in increasing numbers. Some fear failure, some lack the financial means to start a business. Others have no real work experience that gave them the needed skills to start a business. The Journal reports:
Court denies Mike Brown's appeal. Still no prosecution in Hinds County.
The Mississippi Court of Appeals served up some justice as it upheld a finding of contempt of court against disbarred attorney Michael J. Brown. JJ readers remember that is the case where Aaron Henry's grandson inherited $3.3 million upon his mother's death when he was 16 years old. Money became the root of some very serious evil as young DeMon McClinton's father, attorney, and father's girlfriend all conspired to loot his inheritance, Young DeMon be damned.

5 Years!!! (Video)
Judge John Emfinger sentenced Blair and Michael Porter to 15 years in jail with 10 years suspended. They must register as sex offenders and be placed under supervised probation for five years upon release. They will be electronically monitored during probation. They will serve day for day while in prison. The DA first recommended 7 years but the family of the victim asked for 5 years in jail. The video of the hearing is posted below.
Police reports show how sick the Porter case really is.
WARNING: MATERIAL IN THIS POST THAT IS GRAPHIC AND SEXUAL IN NATURE. IN FACT, ITS DOWNRIGHT SICKENING.
The decision was made to publish this post for several reasons. A horrible crime took place. However, the details of these crimes are usually kept secret for obvious reasons. Every measure was taken to redact information that might identify the child or her family. Former WLBT News Director Dennis Smith was consulted. He read the report and gave some very welcome advice. It's a story that needs to be told and should be reported. The reports are not for the squeamish, but people need to see exactly how these crimes take place. They also need to see the lengths to which brainwashed victims will go to to protect the perps.
Former Ridgeland High School softball coaches Blair and Michael Porter pleaded guilty to one count each of sexual battery of a child. The child was a student they had known since she was in eighth grade and was a 15 year-old member of the team when the crime took place. The Porters are husband and wife.
Posted below is the raw police report for the investigation. There is no way to sugarcoat it. The material is disgusting and sickening in nature. It shows how two coaches exploited a young girl. They both performed sexual acts with her. They took a young girl and ruined her life. Law enforcement sources said the victim was very uncooperative. The word "love" was used several times. They even tried to blame her when caught. What stopped them was a parent who dared to be a parent and not take her child's word as gospel truth. The parents demanded answers and would not stop seeking justice until it was served.
The Queen is in.
Yup. Madison Mayor Mary Hawkins-Butler qualified for State Auditor.

Update: The words "debacle" and "bailout" were used by the Clarion-Ledger and Madison County Journal about in their headlines about the bill. Parkway South has not defaulted on the TIF bonds.The Galleria TIF has not failed and is producing. The county is restructuring the bonds so as to match payments with revenue. The TIF included tax-exempt property, which obviously is self-defeating. The original post was based upon what was reported in the two newspapers. More information will be added if it becomes available. County sources said county officials did not ask for the legislation nor did anyone ask the legislature to draft the bill.

Porters to plead guilty tomorrow
Two former Ridgeland softball coaches will plead guilty tomorrow in Madison County Circuit Court. The hearing is scheduled to begin at 1:00 Pm. They were indicted last year for sexual battery of a minor.
The Fondren Park fracas and ruffled feathers
The post about the shooting in Fondren Park ten days ago ruffled some feathers among those who use the Nextdoor app. Its a great app and a valuable tool for many neighborhoods as it allows neighbors to get important information out quickly to their community. Some people were irritated and accused me of unethical conduct for reporting messages posted on the Nextdoor application that were about the Firefight in Fondren. One person even accused me of violating the rules of Nextdoor and exploiting the incident to generate traffic for more ads. An explanation for that post is in order.

Comparing Apples to Pineapples to Oranges
How does the processing of criminals in Hinds County compare to other counties? Defenders of the status quo in Hinds County argue it is not reasonable to compare Hinds to Rankin or Madison as there are much more violent crimes in Hinds even on a percentage basis. Its a fair point to make and at times is a case of comparing apples to pineapples. However, there is one county where a more fair comparison can be made.

Contact lens scrum ends in a whimper
A bill banning the practice of setting minimum prices for contact lenses died in committee this week. 1-800-Contacts pushed SB #2016 after leading contact lens manufacturer Johnson & Johnson established a "floor price" for the sale of its contact lens to patients. The bill was opposed by the state Optometrists Association and multiple ophthalmologist from around the state. 1-800-Contacts is based in Utah. The company is the Goliath of the online contact lens industry as it enjoys over a 70% market share.

A Tale of Two Prosecutions
Melvin Potts goes on trial February 23 in Madison County for first degree murder and auto theft. The indictment charges he killed Dr. Garrick Shelton on May 21, 2014 and stole his car. Remember that date. Dr.
Shelton was a professor and Department Chair at Jackson State University. He was stabbed to death. However, the twenty-one year-old Potts is also a participant in the Hinds County catch & release program.
Bobo to plead guilty.
Josh Bobo entered a petition to plead guilty to one count of unarmed carjacking and one count of simple robbery on December 29, 2014. A grand jury indicted him for carjacking and armed robbery last September for a violent rampage that took place at the Ridgeland Wal-Mart in January 2014. District Attorney Michael Guest recommended Mr. Bobo be incarcerated for 15 years with 5 years suspended. The petition and indictment are posted below.

Young trial postponed.
The trial for Tommy Young was postponed from today until May 18, 2015 by Judge Bill Gowan. The continuance was granted since Mr. Young claimed he got a new attorney and needed more time to prepare for trial. He is now represented by Faye Peterson. His previous barrister was Dennis Sweet, IV. Mr. Young faces eight counts of armed robbery, carjacking, and aggravated assault. This is the second time his trial has been postponed. He was indicted in March 2013. Judge Gowan revoked his bond on December 12, 2014 after he did not appear for a hearing in court.
Reeves to boost ed spending
Lieutenant Governor Tate Reeves issued the following press release:
Holland & Moak: They were for it before they were against it.
The legislative fight over the MAEP initiative grown pretty hot at times as Republicans added an additional amendment to the ballot. Needless to say, the measure did not go over well with Democrats. Supporters of a an initiative to "fully fund" education under the MAEP formula obtained enough signatures to place the proposed amendment on the ballot. However, the law allows the legislature to place alternate amendments on the ballot as well. The Democrats had a few things to say about the vote:

Trollfest '09
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.

Trollfest '07
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.
