The medical experts have said gatherings such as funerals are deadly...

Covid is now way out of control.

KF...You better get off all this Covid shit and step up your game. You're losing people by the hundreds to the Mississippi Politics Facebook page and Y'all Politics. Much more fun over there. Get with it.

This sounds like Chicago during the Al Capone days.

I don't know the actual point where Jackson hits rock bottom but his has to be close. THIS is off-the-charts INSANITY!

According to the Dept. of Health, this death will be classified as Covid-19.

I just gave a comment about the stupid posting from the coroner from Desoto County trying to discuss COVID deaths and their reporting. This could possibly be a proper place for a coroner to expell his/her opinion - look at the bullet hole in the body and determine that the person died from a gunshot wound. Don't try to determine whether someone with dementia died from that or from COVID, or pneumonia, or being run over by a car.

OK - Mr. Coroner, if run over by a car, you can determine that if -- if -- you don't try to tell us it was because of the dementia that led the victim into the street.

In the meantime, as to this latest shooting in the Radical New City - look at that nicely paved street along Robinson Road. Good job Baby Chock - can't keep them alive, but at least the hearse won't loose its front end on the way to the mourge.

Nothing even remotely fun about Y’all Politics or MS Politics Facebook Page. What are you doing here if they’re so much more fun?

Not at all.

Those thugs did have a code of honor.
These thugs are not even close.

Who will the mayor blame this on? Can’t wait to find out!

Sarah Ulmer is a lot better lookin than Kingfish.
But, Jackson Jambalaya beat Y'all Politics hands down on news, commentary, culture, & jackassery in the Jackson, Mississippi area! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Can't even have a quiet funeral in Jackson with someone raising hell!

It is pronounced “HEARSE” not “HEARST”

I am?

Last three months were best traffic ever but for May 2018 (Lamar Adams case breaking). Each month higher than the first.

I'm not concerned about FB groups. One, I don't think FB numbers are legit. When I see something go up and a few hours later it has 50,000 likes and 2,000 shares, I think, uh huh. Especially when it is a local subject. We can do taht here do, just post "What do you think about....". and leave it at that. Those guys never post or link of my content so I really don't care anyway. This site is more than just politics. If you look at the top 20 posts every year, the lists are made up of news posts. Political stories rarely make the lists.

If the Hinds County Coroner is anything like that idiot from Desoto County, this case might be assigned to death by dementia, or heart problems, rather than the bullet that went through some part (yet unidentified)of his body.

If the Desoto County coroner can argue with the state medical examiner over such stupid stuff as in KF's earlier post, then the same kind of analysis should apply here. Hell, maybe that's how Baby Chocke can get away with his claim that the problem in Jackson is with the COVID - this guy that was shot down on Robinson Road might just have possibly had a positive COVID test - if he could just get the Desoto coroner down here to help, this won't show up as number 69 - or whatever it is - on his evergrowing list.

Damn!! Even in my disfunctional family we don't shoot each other at funerals. We don't even generally take a poke at one across the chest.

Maybe its time for Antwar to issue a curfew on funerals at noontime; these afternoon events after having had a 40 ounce Colt might be more than the COVID can stand.

I think it's telling that shots fired at funerals are met with return fire. Kinda speaks for itself, in my opinion.

I wonder what the response time was from the Elton rd fourwheeler ride JPD was trying to flex on?

Anonymous said...

I wonder if he got a mortician's "On Site" discount because they didn't have to go pick up the body.

Anonymous said...

But how did this happen after Baby Chokwe issued a curfew ?

Anonymous said...

It's legal to carry firearms and use them in self defenses here in Mississippi, so why are there "suspects" in this incident? Dude who got waxed was firing into a funeral service, so where are the accolades from the 2nd Amendment crowd?

Anonymous said...

How could this have happened under the Ruler's curfew at 11?

Oh, the curfew is at 11 PM? Evidently Baby C thought all gang shootings happened at midnight; guess with his curfew (just as his open carry ban) the thugs who want to shoot bros are having to change their MOs, and now are unloading their 'legally registered, card supported open carried' S&W45s during the daylight hours.

Wlbt has total at 70. Does this put it at 72?

No discount. They's money to be made in this here situation. Gotta autopsy that body, the succumbed one...and that requires being transported, put in cold storage and then, later, shipped again. It's called trickle-down-economics.

Sounds like the funeral home shooting was self-defense if the "victim" did indeed shoot first.

Anonymous said...

i agree. it was self defense..even if they are a gang member. they also have 2nd amendment rights

where’s the NRA statement? this thug could have shot at more people but was put down by heroic funeral attendees

Anonymous said...

7:35 - The NRA thanks you for speaking on its behalf.

Anonymous said...

2nd Amendments Right gives the right to carry Shooting back at an obvious threat is covered in the United States Declaration of Independence under the phrase "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness". The phrase gives three examples of the "unalienable rights" which the Declaration says have been given to all humans by their creator, and which governments are created to protect.

Self defense is well delineated in our state law under justifiable Homicide. Mississippi Code Title 97. Crimes § 97-3-15. Justifiable homicide

Kingfish, don't listen to any of this shit. It's your Blog and no one else here that I know of has one. I for one have always enjoyed the site.

Anonymous said...

Have to laugh at the suspect/suspects are still at large. Guess everyone was busy crying and raising their hands to Jesus to know anything or anyone who had been there. Waiting for a reward to be posted.

Anonymous said...

That should be a legit self defense shooting if he fired first, I posit that those who returned fire were prohibited persons and wish to avoid felon in possession charges and that's why they have not come forward to accept the 2nd Amendment supporters accolades which are waiting for them.

Anonymous said...

May need the Supreme Court to rule if the Castle doctrine covers protecting a corpse in a casket. At first glance, I think the attendee, defensive shooters are covered. A man’s casket is his castle.

What the hell was Credell and David Archie mumbling about? Seriously? That's worse than ambulance chasing.

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.
