So sad that teachers have to work in this environment.

Was a winner declared by KO, TKO or just a decision? I think in these incidents, they should gather up the fighters and put them into a ring to duke it out, then the winner must stand up against anyone who wants to have another go with him/her. If he/she wins against all challenges and repeats, then they can go to jail a winner.

We are living in an animal state - it's dog eat dog...

And one wonders why parents (of all races) have no desire to send their children into that environment?

That is some aggressive and passionate debating going on.

No guns or knives evident, so that's something a tiny bit positive.

This nasty culture is holding our state back.

I agree with 10:54. Any fight with no gunplay is a win these days.

Is there a video or something missing here? I see 10 comments but I can't see what is provoking the comments.

Word on the street is this was a gang-related dispute. Gang culture is a huge problem in McComb.

90-degrees out and they are wearing hoodies. School or gangsta uniform?

This is why private schools exist in this state.

Tax $$ hard at work.

I'm sad the bar is this low, but good for them for not shooting or stabbing anyone. So thankful I went to public school in the 90s, before the world fell apart.

Remove cel phones from K-12 schools. Put them in storage upon entry if you can't go the full distance. There's a wee chance it would result in improvement in student attention, perhaps even performance. Even a wee chance is worth it. And this kind of nonsense doesn't get promoted. Come on school administrators, it's a common sense thing.

Crowd was all wee wee'd up!

McComb is a mini Jackson.

Just last week, one of their city council members (they call em' selectmen) ... went on a rampage at the weekly board meeting screaming about her name being on a letter that her fellow board member had sent to the McComb School District questioning use of funds.

No one could figure out what she was ranting about.

Long story short, she was upset about her name being on official city Stationery.

You can't make this stuff up.

Hell ... I don't think the Jackson City Council is even that stupid about official city letterhead.

So no, I'm not surprised about the McComb High School fiasco one bit.

The same culture of death and destruction doing what they do.

Seriously, why call this "school?" They don't want to be there, so they're not going to learn anything other than how to be a more efficient gangbanger.

This lesson plan is titled "Introduction to MDOC."

Nationwide, this has been the strategy:
* screw the schools up
* claim the schools are screwed up due to lack of funds.
* get more funding from taxpayers feeling guilty.
* use the increased funding to screw the schools up more.
* claim the schools are screwed up due to lack of funds.
* get more funding from taxpayers feeling guilty.
Repeat. Repeat. Repeat...

I have animals that behave better. Me, if I was their teacher,-“Y’all turn off the lights when you get done.”

So very sad - I graduated from McComb High School in the late 70s. It was a fantastic model school district with top notch faculty and administration and very little tolerance for bad behavior. I have heard over the years it declined and the video sadly shows just how far it has fallen. I know others from my era feel the same sadness and disbelief that so many formerly great schools they attended around the state, including Jackson, have fallen so far. Personally I think the disintegration of the family and parental “non-involvement” are as much to blame, if not more so, than the schools - faculty and administration can only do so much and just throwing money at it is not going to fix it. Very sad - pray for our schools and our children.

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.
