A fracas took place on storied Flag Island yesterday.
A man prominently features on the left side of the first video is Rankin County deputy Wesley Shivers. A Rankin County Sheriff's Office representative said Internal Affairs is investigating the incident.
A source said the video did not tell the whole story. The source alleged a fight broke out on the sandbar. It is hard to imagine such an incident taking place as alcohol freely flows under a 102 degree sun but such was apparently the case. Shivers allegedly tried to break up the fight and well, one can see what he got for his troubles.
To say this could not have come at a worse time for the Rankin County Sheriff is an understatement .

Look at all those red necks, good lord!
So which one was the sheriff's deputy?
Thanks for sharing this and showing us that the RCSO are glass-jawed paper-tigers when they don't have their guns, dildos, and milk!
Looks like some high class folks over there in Rankin County.
naw he wasn’t breaking it up…that’s the second time he got knocked out…he shoved a girl to the ground ….
Loved when the one guy leans over the deputy with the glass jaw and proclaimed "You got knocked the fugg out" which was a line from Friday
That is worse than when Duece McAllister whipped his ass in ‘97!!
Ole Gillian laid red faced Wes smooth out!
you can clearly see the crowd is holding ol big bad bully back ….he throws a girl to the ground then ol Gillian knocks him out
I’d still want Wes on my side. Nice article about him from 2020:
https://www.clarionledger.com/story/sports/college/mississippi-state/2020/04/24/wes-shivers-mississippi-state-football-1997-egg-bowl-2000-nfl-draft-mma-ufc-hinds-county-police/5154837002/
I've been to flag island many times, it looks like an erry trip occurrence. I think Wes got blinded sided by Duece McAllister during an Egg Bowl. In the early 2000s, Wes tried his hand at UFC/MMA and had a decent run.
I can't really tell whats happening with all the drunk white girl screaming in the video.
Can’t go anywhere anymore. This country — if I can still call it that — is populated by drunkards and slackers.
He's been known to get knocked out before - ask Deuce about it.
Death, taxes, and Wes Shivers involved in brawls.
At least they settled it the good old-fashioned way - with fists. Someone needs to educate them on the benefits of sunscreen, though - some of the sunburns I saw will hurt long after the pain of a punch is gone.
when pearl leaks
Based on how y’all react to prior stories that have zero to do with Jackson, I’m sure y’all are gonna try to find some way to pin this on Jackson, whether it has even a tenuous relationship with reality or not.
That deputy sheriff is going to take his humiliation out on the next dozen or so people he can pull over for failure to signal. And since he can't get away with harassing African Americans, he will target everyone else. Avoid Rankin County!
This is a total disgrace. Bryan Bailey should resign.
He wasn’t breaking anything up. He and his buddies started it all. And that’s the second time he got knocked out.
He didn’t try to break anything up. The article makes it sound like he was the good guy of it all. Completely false.
He’s obviously been in the sun too long, and had a badge and gun too long. The Feds are coming for him and his cronies. The goon squad arrest is the tip of the iceberg.
That was his second nap handed to him on the day. Was definitely not trying to break up a fight, he was going after who he thought put him to sleep the first time. And crossed the line when he pushed the girl down. RCSO looks so stupid now, bunch of clowns!
Us marshal as well… super nice guy. Everyone on here acts like they have never yell or fought anyone..
Smoking Newports, getting acute sun burn, and getting knocked the fuck out, what a weekend.
This disgraceful video Rankin County just re-emphasizes the accuracy of Dr. Thomas Sowell’s research of depraved and destructive Redneck culture.
What are the Origins of the White Redneck Culture in the America? | Thomas Sowell
And this powerful discourse on how Redneck culture has been the most destructive force in the United States.
Everyone one of you proud, confederate flag waving Niknar rednecks should watch those videos.
Dr. Thomas Sowell simultaneously destroys the leftist’s narrative but also exposes that Rednecks are to blame for all of this.
Stop being proudly ignorant rednecks!
You don’t have a damn thing for which to be proud!
@ 2:53 PM - That's quite a broad brush you're using to paint the picture, given this is an isolated but relatively common incident when sun, fun, good 'ol boys, and alcohol go to excess. I'm guessing that you don't go anywhere anyway, and haven't for some time...
We need to set up a match between white bucket hat from Flag Island and white t-shirt from Satarita. Those dudes can brawl.
I’m thinking about setting up a sunscreen stand out there on the island if I can find any investors.
In the good old days one could enjoy skiing the Pearl River, hanging on House Boat Sandbar, Flag Island, etc.
15 year financing for boats ruined it though since every redneck with a 620 credit score could own one.
Chokwe's fault.
Our HOA is meeting and will vote them out of the trailer park.
Just a bunch of Skanks & their red neck boys!
If intelligent life from another planet ever stops by to observe us, I hope to hell they never see those two videos.
@ 4:09
You put any culture under the effects of a 12 pack in any weather and this is what you get.
I don't give a shit if it's in the Hamptons, Malibu or Flag Island.
The poor passive man was definitely just trying to stop all the lawlessness. Evil girl in the red bikini he shoves down is a clear and present danger when he shoves her down. With the entire crowd obviously trying to fight him, he was rightfully terrified. OR if people didn’t have cell phones the real goon squad would have all these “hooligans” on the sand bar. I’m sure ge was just working undercover
No redneck like a Mississippi redneck particularly when they school.
@4:32 15 year? Bass Pro will do 240 months. You're upside down on it the second it hits the water but that's par for the course for the average credit card millionaire.
In SEC lingo the high Sherrif and his department have a lack of institutional control. Wonder what the US Marshall’s have to say about this?
Here's the recipe:
Titties
ass
beer
hormones
whiskey
ice
country music
134 rednecks
tanning beds
bikini bottoms (tops optional)
sand
toilet paper
potato chips
Rankin
If Bert Case had been there, as he used to be, he woulda whupped some ass!
That's exactly right about 15 year financing for boats.
Every young boy between 18 and 30, that I've ever worked with, had to, by God have a bass boat, ski boat or crappie boat.
To hell with being late on the house or rent note. And put that boat in the garage and momma's car out in the yard.
And forget that note on the counter telling me to pick up some diapers and SpaghettiOs...I'm gittin' worms and crickets and heading up river. And three cases of beer.
Bryan Bailey please tell your people to staff home for a while. Please. No kicking in doors without warrants or drunks getting knocked out off duty. All around it looks bad for your department. Maybe you should put it in written format on Monday……ignorant
Wes got knocked out TWICE. the second time he was mad people were laughing at him.
It’s crystal clear that Bryan Bailey preferred mouth-breathing troglodytes working in his department.
wanna bet all of them voted for Bailey in the last election??
Pathetic rednecks and a RCSO that all need to be fired.
Ole Wes looks a little sunburned !
That yard guy laid out that big framing subcontractor, while the rest of the tradesmen looked on.
It's just a game of flag football. Hence the name "Flag Island."
Sheriff Bailey approved this message.
I’ve got news for all you Rankin County haters…the vast majority of the folks on Flag Island are not Rankin residents. I’m there most weekends and can attest to that.
Recent news is finally confirming what we have all been saying about Rankin for the last 20 years. That is exactly what McDowell Road was like in the 80’s.
You know what the difference is between the Flag Island fight and Food Court shooting (other than a gun?)?
Not much.
Pretty sure I saw Boomhaur and Bill Dauterive in that video.
You know, there is a public drunk statue even with white red necks in Rankin or Madison county.
This isn’t the first time he’s overstepped his authority… he should get fired . On duty or off he represents rankin so and with all that’s going on he will be gone too.
Why anyone has a desire to get in a boat and go to the Pearl River or Rez is beyond me. I did it a few times when I was younger, but you couldn’t pay me to get in that nasty water or around that crowd now. I’ve been to far too many nice bodies of water around this country to realize what that cesspool is.

Apples and Oranges
Flag Island Fight: Absent something used other than fists, knees, or feet (i.e., gun) which the video does not show, everybody gets to go home, albeit with some soreness or broken bones. Additionally, almost a zero chance of a bystander getting injured.
Food Court Shooting: A gun, presumably a handgun, was used to "square off". That firearm cares not in what direction it fires. Thus, unlike a fist, knee, feet, etc., any bystander has a chance of being effect.
The only crime that I see here is nobody knows how to film in landscape.
As an amateur anthropologist, I am not one to get involved with the day to day actions of ruffians, particularly those in rankin county who have tattoos, drink over 12 beers in one sitting, etc etc. But you have to respect , on some level, those very unique ruffians who talk zero shit (very unusual) and just run into the melee full speed and knock out someone twice their size. I mean damn, he may be a red neck but you simply must respect that guy. Even the most base of nature nudges, no demands! that you respect that guy.
Props to the regular joe that dropped him. Someone needs to put a name to that man. Say what u want but he had his choice of the river rats after that show. Love to see a bully get put in his place.
People keep saying TWICE. Was this the first or second? And what happened the other time? He got knocked out twice in one day?
@8:31 Per FBI UCR data more people are killed every year with hands and feet vs rifles. I don't think you should consider physical fighting as harmless.
Imagine the body odor at that disgusting place. Rednecks make me ill.
@9:53. This is the second time. The first time was a few minutes before this.
He had both of them coming.
@9:53. This is the second time. The first time was a few minutes before this.
He had both of them coming.
This is so unbecoming of someone working on a Marshal task force. Drunk and laying his hands on woman is pathetic. He should be immediately fired. He is a disgrace.
Damn no metal chairs?
I’m new to this. Was this one of those times when one of our law enforcement heroes was putting his life on the line just so we can all make it back home safely?
This is the redneck promotion video for Stankin Rankin. Come one, come all.
Weeeel doggies! That there is what city folk calls a melee.
Even more entertaining than the fisticuffs is the assemblage of comments from the peanut gallery. Reminds me of the people who crowd around the 'rastlin ring' waving five dollar bills.
He got knocked out 2 times in one day? Jesus. How drunk was this RCSO deputy and what is the name of the dude who knocked him the F*&^ out?????? hilarious.... WES is a joke.
I love how all of you anonymous people call these folks rednecks, and at what merit? They are on their $100k+ boats enjoying a weekend on a sand bar. Most of the time, it’s peaceful up there.
This was an interview event for potential new members of the Rankin Goon Squad, as there are currently six vacancies. Sheriff Bailey will watch the videos before voting.
These Stankin Rankin white trash cleaned up all of the trash before they left, right? All boat and car drivers were sober, right?
Did the Rez police look the other way as a professional courtesy?
8:16 with the unintentional win. A public drunk statue on Flag Island!
Will they lay the eventual Flag Island public drunk statue flat on its back so as to capture the Shivers post-punch nap?
8:10 you poor thing!
Your logic that there’s “not much” “difference between the Flag Island fight and the Food Court shooting (other than a gun?)” --- does help explain though how the absolute worst failure as a Mayor in the history of Jackson, MS --- gets re-elected with 80% of the vote.
The drunk rednecks on Flag Island are an embarrassment --- but no child was in danger of being killed by a stray bullet --- like exponentially much more of an embarrassment Chokwe’s Jackson, MS with two, including a 5-year old, killed inside of 10 days.
There’s just not much one can do with a chandelier’s lights that won’t burn very bright --- which is why Democrats take over and destroy cities --- but keep getting re-elected.
8:34 am I'm sure it can be "peaceful up there", but making money doesn't cure you of being a redneck or a thug if you are determined not to become civilized and learn how to win and be secure without needing to yell,call names, or physically assault someone. Those are the behaviors of poorly raised children, not intelligent, sane adults.
And,those who need an automatic weapon or oppression and lies to "best opponents" are equally weak minded and insecure.
What I heard growing up was " He has more money than sense" and "New money is so shiny. it makes some people blind".
Such people rule over "rubble" and "rabble" if they succeed, they do not build empires that improve mankind.
Whether it's NASCAR or country music or rodeos and add the African art and talent and cultural contributions to our culture, redneck/thug behaviors and deliberate ignorance and brutally is NOT the behavior of the successful who remain at the top. It's being a "class act" that results in creating a legacy of honor and building the future rather than trashing the present and future.
I am sorry for the children of these sorry excuses for humans if any are parents. After seeing this, good parents will not let their children go to their homes or on trips with them as they cannot even supervise themselves. I hope some will extend invitations to their home to the children of these people so they can have a respite and modeling of good behavior.
8:34, spectacular defense. Everybody on the internet just changed their minds about these fine folks.
How embarrassing, If I were him I'd move to another state and change my name.
The Sherriff should terminate him for this. How can you expect people to respect the Sherriff's office with this guy out there representing. Imagine that temper on the job and worse yet that chandelier jaw as a law officer.
That video makes me more proud of my life every time I watch.
lastly, Has no one ever told him about sunscreen. Sunday AM he is hungover, concussed, burning like hell and hopefully embarrassed. Got to have been a bad Sunday.
To the people who have commented on 15 years on a boat finance. I agree what a silly thing to do. Unless you are making money with it I would not finance anything (Boat, SxS, ATV, etc) more than 2-3 years. If you need 15 years you can't afford it. When I was about 25 I was going to by a ski boat. The dealer was going to finance for 12 years. I told my older wiser neighbor and he said "the engine won't be running and the gelcoat will be coming off it in 10 years and you will still owe 2 years" I did not buy the boat and learned a valuable lesson.
BTW, I would be embarrassed to be any of those people over 25 up there. What white trash spectacle.
Boat people.
This is the meathead who "gave up football" and "gave up MMA" to "protect" us? The Clarion Ledger said that. Look more like MMA was getting some girls into the cage and he couldn't perform in football or MMA. But, hey, he only got clocked twice in one day by hicks.
The US Marshal Goon Squad is his ultimate calling. Overtime pay, all the suspects you can slam or take a shot at, and a local assignment with an attack dog, slicked out Free Fed F150s, and coins and gym time. What's a FewtBawl washout to do??? Besides, uh, being Tater's personal trainer or something.
God, that GubMint money and just a 70 IQ required is a God Send to the White Trash washouts.
Resign Bryan. God help Rankin with these types of hicks wanting to be heroes.

A bad Sunday turned into a terrible Sunday when he went Viral.
Ole Wes threatened to whoop me while I was cuffed few years ago.. Glass jaw
August 13 8:09 PM...yep, seeing some of the same old McDowell Road crowd right up in that fight...one of the those Birdwell boys!

"You know what the difference is between the Flag Island fight and Food Court shooting (other than a gun?)?"
90%+ of the Flag island crew will be at work Monday morning making their own living.
Ok, I have been looking at this too long.
My two favorite scenes:
First, 1:04 Dude is drrruunnnkk and does not make it too far down the hill.
Second, 1:39 The Fat sunburned Ninja coming in to make sure things are OK
Tex Peterson is the guy who dropped him right after Shivers through a lady to the ground.
WES better be kicked off the US Marshall task force. He is no example. In fact all deputies should be removed from the tasks forces for the time being. Why don't you move WES out to JDC. Out of sight out of mind? Just my opinion.
Did anyone in this world think a cop without a gun could fight?
Wes is not so tough without his gun.
Good work by 11:07. I hadn't noticed that apparently Fat Ninja settled everyone down.
8:34, I’m a proud redneck born and raised in the Mississippi Delta, and I certainly know one when I see one. I saw a bunch in that video. You don’t forfeit redneck status simply by buying a $100,000 boat; if anything, that enhances it.
Can we call this the Reservoir Rumble?
Shivers: “I took off out there and I was in the wrong place at the wrong time. I should have never been there. I definitely got the bad end of the stick. I remember a flash and next thing I know I’m standing there with blood all over my face, my throat is cut, my nose is broke, my teeth knocked loose.”
Shivers quote about the 1997 Egg Bowl. Haha https://www.clarionledger.com/story/sports/college/ole-miss/2017/11/21/oral-history-ole-miss-mississippi-state-1997-brawl-bowl-game-wyatt-mcalister-wes-shivers-egg-bowl/883556001/
This is total BS. Poor guy never had the chance to identify himself properly, "You know I have a black belt...and a badge...and a reputation as a real bad ass...and a bad temper...and buddies to be my back-up..."
KABOOM!!!
Once Wes clears concussion protocol, his ass needs to be driving the female trusty van around picking up roadside trash.
I need a boat………
That guy pulling on his arm, the one with visor on, does nothing but stir up trouble.
Just call it what it is. White Trash Island
What an embarrassment this guy is to his department and his federal task force team! LEO should not be out drinking and displaying their courage like this if they can’t handle the devils juice or lettuce ☘️. If you’re an adult you should know by know how your body reacts to alcohol. Make good decisions peeps! This was a stupid decision on his part. He may want to call that landscaper for a job after this…
Where was reservoir Patrol when you needed them? Most likely giving people tickets for having their life jackets in compartments(which isnt illegal by the way) versus flying around strapped to everything they can be distracting the driver.
Monday morning..."what'd you catch on the river this weekend?"
Deeeezzzzz hands! hahahahaha.
Dermatologist will make a lot of money after that bunch of sunburned boys. Or tanning leather may be a better idea.
@3:48 I just cackled at work. best one yet. Thump
"...Has no one ever told him about sunscreen. Sunday AM he is hungover, concussed, burning like hell and hopefully embarrassed. Got to have been a bad Sunday."
August 14, 2023 at 9:55 AM
If you guys are talking about the big blond in the blue trunks, then this old Cougar sees several signs that his diet is not what it should be. He's losing his hair. He's growing moobs. He's fat. His hormones are beginning to tilt toward feminization. He's behaving like someone with the beginnings of Frontotemporal Degeneration. (all just my personal opinion, and based only upon the above video)
Booze, if he drinks regularly, may be acting as a macronutrient - like a supercarb, basically. Or regular carbs, from fries and Doritos and pasta and sugar, may be the primary culprits. Alcohol and carbs, both, pile-on the fat, and suppress Testosterone. Once the fat is on the body, the fat, itself, starts sabotaging hormones, and a man can turn into a manatee - a deranged manatee.
If would be interesting to see what taking the "Beef Butter Bacon & Eggs Challenge" would do for him. I'm thinking that after a very few months on a strict Carnivore diet, the muscle would reemerge, and his brain (which would, at that point, be running primarily on Ketones) would be purring-along, perhaps better than at any time in his life.
That's one magnificent man, and I'd love to see him at his full potential.
4:10 again: and my biggest point, is that those of us who've "gone Carnivore", tend not to get Sunburn, anymore.
That's what she said "MOOBS"
They should ban everyone who was present from flag island or the rez/pearl river.
Wes Shivers was and still is nothing but a loud mouth, corrupt wannabe. The US marshals should be ashamed of themselves for letting this glass jawed “mma” fighter even wear their patches. He should be immediately removed from the task force and fired from the sheriffs department. Wes Shivers, AJ Dimartino, and Jonathan Sanford, the “Junior Goons“ should all be fired. Crocodile tears Sheriff Bailey knows exactly what’s going on. If he doesn’t, he’s not competent enough to be running a lemonade stand let alone a sheriffs department. RESIGN LITTLE FAT MAN!! For the person that left the earlier link to an article about how great Wes Shivers was, I would remind you that in 2019 sheriff Bryan Bailey awarded Christian Dedmon, the Top Cop award for the year lol.
To all the negative comments at least they fight it out the old school way
Wes does not deserve to get fired over this. After all, he was the one who got knocked out. It’s easy for all you haters to kick him when he’s dow. Wes is a committed law enforcement officer and it’s a shame he has to deal with the shame of this and getting knocked out twice.
@5:53
Did you miss the part where the drunk ass RCSO bully threw a woman to the ground? That’s the whole reason why he got knocked out!
Is there video of all the various LEO peeps showing up at the Ratliff Ferry ramp, wondering if they'll get overtime?
I’ve got friends on flag island where the whiskey is cheap and the skin is flammin
Additude reflects leadership! This coupled with other recent events by Rankin County Duputies are a direct reflection of the current leadership and culture of the whole Rankin County Sherrif's Department.
I would not be surprised if the US DOJ came in with several additional indictments and convictions for current leadership.
From what I saw in the video the deputy assaulted two individuals prior to a good samaritan stepping up and defending innocent people.
Glass Jaw McGraw needs to retire!
Steel cage match. Todd “Tax Evader” Mardis vs. Wes ‘MMA football hero” Shivers. Rebuild The Dock temporarily and have the MDOC bring Goff and the crew out for judges. It would sell out Rankin and Hinds county and some of Madison
The fat boy at the end with the bandana is my favorite character. He looked like he thought they were givin away cake and ice cream. I can’t blame him though. I’m fat and sloppy looking too.
Well….. at least it’s not Jackson because people would’ve got shot, kinda like the “mass shooting” in Memphis over the weekend.
@6:12 The lady got physical with Wes before he pushed her away. He did not assault her. Quit painting that picture.
Wes threw two women on ground. Wes is a pathetic excuse of a man that has no business in law enforcement. Defend him all you want. No respectable man hits a woman. And he is certainly not a respectable man.
@8:42 PM
I see you are also one of those brutish types who believes it’s okay to abuse women.
I suppose you would drop faster than Wes when faced with a chivalrous man.
Ronnie Van Zant and the Boys of Skynyrd echoing through
the trees! Everyone simmer down now - what we’re seeing
is text book RED. What everyone is overlooking is that
Boys of Flag Island are more concerned about fighting
versus paying attention to all the ladies wearing dental floss
bottoms and see thru fish net tops. Says everything about both
the bulls and cows on Flag Island. Hey, that would make
a great hit or maybe it’s already been used - Big Balls in
Cow Town!
@8:57 By the looks of the video and this post, Wes is the one being abused.
Why does PRVWSD turn the blind eye on unauthorized structures on flag island which is on prv property or open container violations, look at your own ordinance, speak up people the river is a disaster of drunks and is not family friendly anymore.
Ole Wes sure does look like a wimp fool; and in addition to the goons is yet another embarrassment for the Rankin County Sheriff’s Office (also heard an obese Rankin County Deputy at the John Sullivan trial threatened to arrest a couple of lawyers on the courthouse steps last Wednesday).
Think Wes’ actions at Flag prove again the need for an IQ requirement since his going night night via getting knocked out might have saved his dumb ass from being in jail right now.
A former MMA fighter current LEO has a lot of liability when he hits somebody in a drunken state while off duty. Doesn’t take much sense to know this.
Wes I truly hate it for you but you put yourself in that situation, I’ve met you and like you but being in law enforcement I know, if you’re going to be in public and drinking what do you expect. Praying for you brother.
How in the world is Wes being the one abused? All others are trying to calm the situation while Wes is going through a fit of drunken roid rage. He assaults the wrong woman and someone finally has enough and puts the coward in his place. There is no scenario in this where Wes is the victim.
The river is out of control. The Leo’s don’t really help much at all. They are busy trying to write gotcha tickets. There are way too many trashy folks that go up there and get too drunk. They also litter constantly, and play loud obnoxious music. The summer river crowd sucks these days. Crackdown needs to happen on the litter and public intoxication. It may take actual effort but you can easily figure out who the problem people are. It’s unfortunate that Wes had so much going for him but he chose to place himself on that sandbar that seems to be the epicenter. Hopefully his career isn’t ruined and he learns a lesson.
All you people out there defending Wes Shivers don’t know what the hell you’re talking about. Just because you’ve been around someone that he’s a “good guy doesn’t mean squat. I was at flag island and weak knees Wes was the one instigating all of this in his drunken stupor. You can clearly see in the video him being the aggressor and people saying calm down Wes, including me. No matter what the girls were saying to him he did not have the right to attack them like he did. I know Wes, but what I saw him do yesterday was disgusting. He should be charged with assault for attacking those poor girls and fired. I’m sure he’ll win the 2023 Rankin County top cop award just like Christian Dedmon did.
@1017 A man says something to Wes that upsets Wes. Who knows what? Wes loses his temper, pushes two people who got in his face and are physical with him, then gets knocked out by a sucker punch. If there should be legal consequences, it should be the sucker puncher in the Gilligan's island hat who assaulted Wes. Wes was at the wrong place at the wrong time and should not have lost his temper, but that's no crime. He did not hurt those two people who got in his face.
Can we petition to get houseboat island back under control from the vegetation and let the meat heads and drunks continue to have flag island? Also, while we have everyone’s attention, can we get some funding, a grant, private dollar pass the plate to redo the channel markers in the main lake? I’ve seen hiking trails marked better. We have some that are on poles, some floaters, some missing, it’s a disgrace to channel markers. I’ve been on that lake my whole life, and other bodies of water, and it’s a disgrace to boating. I know the river channel like the back of my hand but I can see where newer boaters would get confused, especially coming downriver late in the evening. Certainly PRVWSD has the funds to replace them with big bright red and green signage on poles. Sigman may be too worried about other things like trash buckets and check in cards below the spillway, you know, the low hanging fruit, to care about boater safety.
@7:07 AM
Sorry. All the money collected by the PRVWSD goes to the 6 figure salaries of a few dozen top officials.
This won’t really get investigated or reported.
7:07 makes a solid request and as 7:44 stated, it won't be addressed.
-signed, a PRV resident who is paying Sigman's unearned, overly inflated salary
@6:31am - Wes, you finally wake up?
@6:31, so some hurts Wes feelings and it’s ok for him to get aggressive with people? Not saying the sucker punch was right but Wes had what was coming. Pushing and the whole “hold me back” thing is trashy. Especially for a 50 year old law enforcement officer. He should be setting an example. Instead he is part of the problem with the whole meat head crew on the river that ruins the experience for everyone. These people need to grow up.
some individuals beat up citizens and get promoted from rcso to US Marshall. Some people abuse steroids and have longstanding pattern of aggressive police tactics that are well known about in law enforcement circles. Some people hit Tim Johnson when already unconscious to the point of needing facial reconstruction. nobody in particular, just some people.
Bailey knows all about who some people are. not just tolerates but approves of such tactics.
@10:17 and @6:12 The 23-year-old woman probably should have stayed out of the entire situation. Just because her dad got pushed down didn't give her the right to call the man a MotherF***** and then place her hands on him. I'm pretty positive her dad did not need her inserting herself, he is a tough guy, he can handle his own. Anyone who knows the girl in the red bathing suit, knows she is mouthy shit starter. I do not condone a woman being assaulted by any means. But when a woman wants to act like a man then she needs to be ready to be treated as such.
Wes walked up to the volleyball courts to break up a fight, he was blindsided and knocked out. He doesn’t remember anything after that, he wouldn’t ever shove a woman.
@2:46 are you crazy or blind lol. “He wouldn’t EVER shove a woman”, open your eyes, HE DID SHOVE A WOMAN! Along with other people as multiple(at least 5) people tried to stop him, screaming “Stop Wes, Stop”. You’d think as a professional fighter and a police officer, that he would be use to being called a MF. This was nothing but drunk roid rage. Anybody defending him, would be singing a different tune if a 6’5 265 former professional football player and mma fighter came and did that to you, your wife, your mother or your daughter. Shameful
Update: the Ninja at the end has been positively identified as Stingray from the Netflix series Cobra Kai.
@2:46 Wes did not go up there to break up a fight. That girl fight was already broken up. He and his two little kittens following him went up there to start a fight. They all three started hitting people. And he did not get sucker punched. He got put in his place just like the other two did.
@505 Wes was blind sided. How was that not a sucker punch?
A big, drunk meathead strutting around and demanding people treat him like a god is just begging to be taken down. Sooner or later, someone will oblige him.
Question to people who were there: in the first fight that you can’t see, why did he get involved? Did he know someone or was he just trying to be a hero, etc. ? What’s the story there?
@5:42 i was there. And I’m talking about the first time he got knocked out.
@7:14. 2 girls were fighting and some guys broke it up. He and two other guys came up there with their chest poked out looking for trouble claiming one of them hit a girl which did not happen. I was standing right there. They wanted trouble. And they sure found it.
Need to line up some Kimbo Slice style fights out there and do a PPV.
Six goons indicted, one in concussion protocol. Big win.
Damn shame, im sure he is so used to being able to intimidate folks, he never saw it coming. Probably been out there drinking in the hot ass sun all day, got dehydrated and sloppy. This is the problem with the river. There was someone trying to be a tough guy up there 3 weeks ago. Shit gets old. Hang out with your friends, mind your own business, be polite and respectful, take your litter with you, try not to act trashy. It’s not hard. Nobody thinks you are cool because you are a tough guy.
They all look like the cast of Deliverance. I bet they all voted for Biden in the last Presidental election.
Imagine being in your 40’s and having your kids around all of this. Pure class. Both the axe and the tree that fell have young kids. “Y’all load up, momma and daddy are takin’ the boat upriver to get sloppy with their friends”. This is what you call generational redneckery.
@7:35am - Yep, between these fools and the Northpark thugs, Mississippi will always be last. Too much ignorance and too little care.
It sure would be nice to be able to take your kids to the river without worrying about all the white trash that shows up in the summer. Sloppy drunks, steroids, and the “competition” of who has the loudest stereo system, and can play the trashiest music. Uh the worst. I literally followed a trail of Jell-O shot cups from Highway 43 to flag island one day that led straight to a boat full of dreadful drunk rednecks that were steadily throwing their litter into the river. Their values are disgusting.
I was there too and Wes did nothing wrong other than being at the wrong place at the wrong time.
I feel like we will never get an accurate story about what really happened.
True for most fights, the 2 sides of the story have very different accounts.
I highly recommend folks simply avoid these situations all together.
Only took one visit 20 years ago to show me, that island is not something I need to make my social life complete.
8:29 and 8:49: In the video I watched:
1. Wes Shivers was aggressively shoving his way through a crowd, in an apparent attempt to get to someone he intended to lay hands on, as the crowd tried to hold him back,
2. then Wes pushed a girl down,
3. then Wes got knocked out.
@ 8:29 Your comment is the definition of gaslighting. I see a video of this dude aggressively pushing, shoving and yelling at people but somehow he is "just in the wrong place at the wrong time"? Come on Wes, is that you? Let the sunburn and concussions heal.
Try that in a small town. LOL!
That was no sucker punch. He was facing Gilligan and trying to push him away. Turns out Gilligan is a southpaw. Wes shouldn’t have shoved MaryAnn.
Bigger they are, the harder they fall. Wes was clearly the aggressor and looking for trouble. He has the alcohol rage.
Back in the late 80's, and early 90's ... those up-river spots were laid back & fun.
Sure, there was an occasional fight, but nothing like this.
The vast majority of time was spent chilling with friends, watching everyone's wives and girl friends splash around in their bikinis ... and if we were lucky, drink a beer with Bert Case.
Upriver went downhill after prvwsd kicked Eddie off his island and took Bert with them. There used to be some sort of law up there and it wasn’t Sigman’s bunch of (fill in the blank). The people that used to love it up there and camp kept the place clean and monitored. Now it’s a bunch of young punks in daddy’s boat or their 15yr financed $30k duck boat trying to blast some garbage music over the next guy with garbage music. They don’t pay attention to no wake zones and give you the finger for telling the to slow down. Eddie and his scallywags would tune your ass up!
Well we can conclude with over 160 comments (highly unusual) that the river rats are reading JJ.
