Footage from 4:30 PM, an hour and a half after the parade ended, shows the state of the streets not orderly https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1AESGYK3Yh/

I suspect it was just some Rankin Co redneck's idea of a prank.

Likely a prank caller among the Jackson haters thought making a false report would be funny. Being a low class jerk is in fashion these days.

Why is JPD calling the Capitol Police to handle issues right next to JPD Headquarters ? JPD is located at the corner of Pascagoula and West and right across the street from Thalia Mara Hall. Can JPD not respond to calls for help right in front of JPD Headquarters ??? All they had to do was walk out the front door onto Pascagoula Street, and they would be right where the calls were for. Good Lord.

It was Chokwe and friends “popping bottles” of champagne after returning from Detroit after grifting them with tales of white-hooded Mississippi governors and other fictional adventures.

I visited the 911 dispatch unit for Jackson and they informed me that any calls they get from people in the capitol police jurisdiction get transferred to capitol police. I am unsure why Jackson PD thinks they are off the hook for areas covered by capitol police.

Project enough?

"Chief Wade said over 88,000 man hours were spent on the parade."

JPD was already plum wore out before this call came in!

JPD is an embarrassment. If this was still their primary jurisdiction, they would've likely not even responded. At least Capitol made multiple efforts to locate the subjects.

10:15, The only answer that I can come up with is Lumumba either gets his way, or he refuses to participate, like a bratty child taking his ball and going home.

He didn't want the Capital Police in Jackson, but he couldn't stop it, so he took away the city police services in the area covered by the Capital Police, like an overgrown brat who didn't get his way.

The real question, to me, is why haven't the grown-ups called this out in a very public way. In the city with the highest per-capita homicide rate in the country, this should be a scandal.

One again, good work KF.

Steve, please don't feed the troll.

@11:03 isn’t a rankin redneck currently in jail for murdering people at last year’s parade?

Did they get the location mixed up with Nakatomi Plaza?

JPD no longer has primary jurisdiction in the CCID, and hasn't since July of last year. This is well-established state law.

4:08, yeah, but I don't think that means JPD if off the hook:

"The jurisdiction of the Department of Public Safety granted under this subsection (6) shall be concurrent with the jurisdiction of the City of Jackson, Mississippi, and that of Hinds County, Mississippi within the boundaries of the Capitol Complex Improvement District"

Miss. Code Ann. § 45-1-19(6).

Eight people were shot that day yet you think it's unlikely that teens were seen carrying guns in front of Thalia Mara? Seriously?

Anonymous said...

Being a murderer seems to be really "in fashion" these days too?

Why did it take almost 7 minutes to dispatch officers for the second call reporting guns?

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.
