How many murders so far this year? Does anyone even bother to count anymore? Seems like 5-6 this week alone. It is so sad that In Jackson Mississippi bodies are found lying in the road or individuals are shot and killed in the middle of a downtown intersection and it is so commonplace that it is barely even newsworthy.

Downtown BID has gone from the cleanest, safest area in the state to absolute shit in 3 short years. Thanks Brad and all your stupid, dreamer, motormouth, apologist, loser, immature buddies. Y'all have succeeded in ruining it.

Obviously less succumbing when a shotgun is used.

Gotta love Mississippi, where we arm our meth heads.

Must not be enough cameras down there. Cameras stop crime from every happening.

We are at 38, or perhaps 39 murders this year. It depends on if WLBT has updated their database with this latest murder yet. Jackson is running ahead of the old record pace set in 2020, but is behind the new record pace set in 2021.

And 12:48, Jones-Walker is leaving downtown. They are sick of this crap.

The odds of getting murdered in Jackson are higher than the murder rate by the Russian military in Ukraine.

Statistically, it is more dangerous to live in Jackson Mississippi than it is in Ukrainia, why are we sending money there?

@7:33 PM - Exactly! Everyone should send their donations to the Chowke Lumbumbles Foundation to Free the Land. Yeah, that's the ticket, right?

Nothing to see here folks, please move along. Go see the cows on Jefferson.

Jones-Walker is leaving downtown. Wow. That leaves Brunini, or what is left of it still downtown. Thanks Franklin and crew. You guys rock. You have it almost all to yourself now, and can run that sleezy crap that you like at will.

Crime, violent crime hurts us all, Rankin and Madison County included. Small very violent area, add in Canton so small for the level of black-on-black violent crime. Not sure it can be done, like the old NYC Stake out squad but assume the most violent men on the street are known. Shotgun, yikes.

"The odds of getting murdered in Jackson are higher than the murder rate by the Russian military in Ukraine."

Bullshit! 98% of these murders are between people that had some kind of issue with each other

These killings are not committed by unfamiliar acquaintances

There was a "stop the violence" march in downtown on Saturday so this violence will soon come to a halt.

Anyone know where Jones-Walker is moving? If they are moving to Madison County, I visualize a lot of NE Jackson homes going on the market.

10:44. Yes I know. It is not Madison County.

What happened to the DJP Ambassadors?
Weren’t they supposed to keep things safe downtown?
They previously patrolled downtown and had to check in at each location on their rounds.

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.

Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

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.
