Homicide on Wood Street

 A homicide took place on Wood Street today.  JPD has not released any information but the Street Committee says the deceased* is a well-known Wood Street player. 


*  The deceased will not be called a victim.  This post explains why.

About time you got back to the bodies. This is what everyone wants to see—an increasing murder rate. BTW, I heard Wood Street was dangerous. Is that true?

There’s nothing like the homicide of a career criminal. It makes for good clickbait, doesn’t it? Then, once you add the location of the crime scene—a well-known Jackson crime area—it leaves you feeling like justice has prevailed. Doesn’t it?

Well, doesn’t it?

The world is a safer place if Vidal Sullivan is gone.

Jealousy, is a hard master. If you had the desire you could start your very own blog and talk about anything, and I do mean anything, under the sun. Yet, here you are jealous of another man and his work. Making snide remarks that make you look petty. Then again, it may not be the appearance of petty, you may actually be petty. Being small in your own eyes, you look to belittle others to level the field. It must suck to be you.

What was he worth? I am seriously trying to see if these criminals make or keep any money?

Outstanding! I tire of reading about boo boo, potholes, water meters, the boy king Chowke, and the airport commission. Bring back the tried and true homicide! Yes, indeed.

Frank Melton and Victor Mason both are dead and gone, they both tried hard to get Vidale Sullivan off the streets of Jackson. Now he's off the are not here to see this. He alleged killed several people in Jackson.

"Wood Street players."

That brings back memories of Melton and Ladd traveling around in one Frank's homemade JPD armored mini vans.

Frank was in his new Mayoral SWAT team kevlar jumpsuit, and Donner Kay was (trying to look like a serious journalist).

Gawd ... those were some funny WLBT news segments.

How Howard Ballou managed to report that nonsense (while keeping a straight face) is beyond me. That proved he's one of the best journalists in Jackson, MS television history.

Donna Ladd is one of the best journalist to ever step foot in the State of Mississippi.

Actually that was some damn good journalism Ladd practiced when reporting on Melton. The local media worshipped him for a long time. She's the one who got me to change my tune on him as the rest of the media fell down on the job.

By today’s standards of bias, obfuscation, sensationalism and outright lying, yes, she fits right in.

Do you have anything to add to the homicide discussion? The bodies, man. All we care about are the bodies.

Wood Street has risen to the top. What's the name of that street, (something) Lane, that used to be in the homicide news at least twice a week?

Wood and Tang lead to 89.8% of all homicides in America.

A murder, shooting, stabbing or other violent crime in JAX will never spark my interest until the people of JAX are willing to talk to the news and give the truth about that person's lifestyle. Harsh, I know, but I day to day skip over those headlines because there are too many and no one in JAX seems to really care about changing it. I read the news, hope for all students there in the day to day struggle to live there and thank the lort I don't have to. Too many parents are not serving or parenting their children, and I do have feel sorry for those that are trying. I will not give my time to parents who have taken a backseat to parenting, expecting the schools to deal with your little shit, who cannot follow rules, policies or laws. I have my own children to attend to and you should be doing the same. I am so tired of seeing young life dead from drugs, shootings etc. YOU PARENTS KNOW WHERE YOUR CHILD IS AND ON WHAT HOUSE OR STREET CORNER THEY ARE ON. If your "baby" is out there bang ganging, then you know damn well it is your fault! NOT THE FAULT OF THE POLICE, SCHOOOL OR COMMUNITY. OWN UP PARENTS AND GET YOUR CHILDREN OFF THE STREETS.

The Street Committee Reported?? Damn I didn’t know that Jackson had Street Committee’s. They must be sleeping on the job to let a murder happen. Or maybe they helped plan it if the guy was a thug. I’m thinking if every street has a committee crime should be non existent. Unless of course if the committee is ran by thugs. Which is probably the case in Jackson.

Street Committee means word on the street. People talking. Telling either what happened or what they heard. Blah, blah, blah.

Good point !

But since then, her other "ground breaking articles" never gained much traction.

However, I'll give her partner Stauffer credit.

That dude is very good at defending her in the comment section of her columns.
( Provided he hasn't deleted said comment )

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.
