Who could forget this classic moment at WLBT back in 2007?
WLBT Reporter Cheryl Lasseter takes some heat from Janice Singleton but Lasseter has the last laugh two years later:
"JACKSON, MS (WLBT) - Silence from Janice Singleton as she left Federal Court Friday with a sentence of 52 months in prison and a restitution of more than $243,000.
The former corrections officer swindled $360,000 from 50 inmates by stealing their personal information and filing bogus tax returns.
Her dignified manner at sentencing is a turnaround from her attitude in February 2007, when Singleton, her sister, and her mother converged on a WLBT News crew, shouting expletives.
Singleton forced a camera out of our reporter's hand. The dust-up went on for about ten minutes.
A few weeks prior, the U.S. Secret Service had raided her business and seized records. Our news crew had visited to ask while she was still operating despite being charged with identity theft and fraud."

That sounds like a record running backwards.
They soon learned to use black reporters in certain areas.
The Po Po should have been called the minute those turds started crossing the street.
"You don't scare me." Maybe, but you're scared all right.
You must expect the family allies to show up and make things worse. If the perp were by herself she wouldn't feel so emboldened and the matter might have been much quieter. Nothing unusual.
What you call racism I call resentment.
Wouldn’t have mattered if Maggie Wade would have been there. They knew the guilt of their family member and they acted accordingly.
I had not seen that. Big respect for the journalist for not backing down.
The troop reacted to the intruder.

Racist.
How did Lasseter receive the last laugh? She doesn’t strike me as the type of person who wants nor needs the last laugh.
You are posting a lot more race baiting articles lately than usual Kingfish. Are you trying to incite something? Isn't there some suburban white child molester in Rankin County you can focus on? Maybe put the spotlight on a white trailer park meth head in Pearl for a change? Why do it always have to be someone black from Jackson?
Sorry, I don't get it JJ...based on what I've seen in Portland, Seattle, St Louis, Minneapolis, Kenosha, Madison WI, and a few videos concerning Jackson since 2007...this compared to now is a "Relatively Calm, understanding, respectful, response" to an interview request. There are no Guns being pointed or fired, no knives brandished, no hair pulled out, no beatdown to a coma, No Social Media Live Streaming by 27 individuals, the TV station wasn't protested or burned that night....No, this was in more civilized times...
That unintelligent barrage of shouting made my ears hurt.
Hmmmmm What is the difference between the press accosting someone (criminal or not) at their own home and BLM and Antifa “protesting” outside private residences
WLBT does know how to get great video.
Cheryl Lasseter is great !
I love her to death !
But . . . Bert Case was WLBT's best in these situations.
Fighting dogs, having a Mississippi Governor threaten to "kick his ass" and so forth.
Jackassery at it’s best!
Cheryl Lasseter is HOT!

Well, let's see. WLBT is a leftist propaganda outfit that accosts with microphones while BLM/Antifa are a leftist outfit that accosts with Molotav Cocktails, bricks, bike locks, etc. I'm sure you support both.

Crybaby.
440. WLBT did not accost anybody. Nice try at attempting to rewrite the story (you don't work for the media by any chance, do you)
LBT was on public property across the street from these crazy folks,, asking to interview the lady. They didn't approach any of these 'family members'. The accosting happened when the family came out of the yard, across the street, pushing and shoving while shooting, screaming, cussing and threatening.
You need to check your dictionary before commenting unless you really want to be shown to be a fool. Of course, if Soros is paying you by the word to try to divert attention, at least try to do a better job for George next time
Gosh, I love Jackson. Some people here are so...interesting.
Kudos to the non-clinically obese woman in pink for seemingly keeping her shit together.
They got their 15-seconds of fame on the evening news. Classy - not.
