Jackson Jambalaya

except the entire cause for the raid was from parents reporting their daughters were being pimped in that trap house. The two guys who got tortured may not have been the pimps. But that house was a well known trap house.

Gaines is an idiot. I hope to see him gone. He was one of the ring leaders of the BOS who pushed the house trailer/shop/barn fiasco last week and didn't issue a copy & paste apology like Calhoun & Scarborough.

I want to know who infiltrated the Irl Dean breakfast, or was it one of the workers at McClain that recorded it? That group in Rankin County has let in too many outsiders vying for political reign and will stop at nothing to see another lose. You see it at the different "gatherings" and wonder who the hell these people are. Someone wants Gaines out and they got him.

Well, they are open to the public. Despite what Wolfe wrote years ago, nothing nefarious about it. Just politicos having a big ole breakfast and anyone can participate. Used to be the worst thing was Ross Barnett, Jr. pretending he was Johnny Carson as he delivered jokes and Jim Kitchens telling jokes that never seemed to have a punchline.

Knowing what we do now...do you trust Bailey led RCSO with the cash seizures from those I-20 interdictions?

Kitchens telling jokes that never seemed to have a punchline.

So… like Norm MacDonald?

(i love Norm btw)

Agreed 9:05. Those two are no saints, and that house was no church. They didn't deserve how that got it, but they deserved something. Place was well known to be a crack house. Gaines might not be wrong, but damn, keep it to yourself for a while and don't gloat about it. Especially in public.

9:33's comments are DEAD ON ACCURATE. Keep your damn mouth SHUT !

These old fools are stuck in the past! I bet they can’t get a good night sleep thinking that we all want to see Mississippi prosper.

9:12
I used to go, now on hiatus until Baileys out , I dont want to be seen in a picture with him or his goons. You are right , lot of wannabes have started coming , one started his own thing in Madison hitching his wagon to IDL . Ol Irl isn’t what he use to be .

@10:01 That’s not what they are thinking. They do not want Rankin to become Jackson. I grew up in Rankin and ran with a diverse crowd. I spent a lot of time in the 90s in the Black dominated areas of Rankin. None of those areas had the problems Jackson had in the 90s or today. The leadership in Rankin just wants to keep it that way.

look at the photo of this clown gaines in the article. he can't even put his necktie on straight.

Who says you need a punchline for your joke? You're already in Rankin County!

Rankin isn't as near as big as joke as Hinds. And that's coming from someone in Madison.

Typical Rankin Racism. Not sure why anyone would expect different. Sheriff Bailey is still in power and his supporters aren’t capable of learning or growing as humans. It’s a shit hole county even by MS standards.

@9:05 - according to who, the goon squad?

The Rankin people need to realize IDR is poison and move past this clown as well. Hope Gaines is sued. Republican Rankin voter here and he and his like need to just pack up and leave. Your time is over.

Wouldn't it be funny if plantiff's could now reject the settlement or request the judge to reject based on these comments? Doubt that is possible but would be justified in my book. And funny as hell.

Still not sure why no one has connected the dots on the sneaky new mandates...trying to keep DR Horton out!

This guy...If he's ever deposed it could be a trainwreck.

Like this one!

I believe there will be much more fallout from the Rankin County Sheriff’s Department “goon squad’s” evil doings.Former deputy Christian Dedmon is already talking about the amount of “ missions” they carried out for years, and how he”hid everything “ for Sheriff Bryan Bailey. The only small amount of redemption these former deputies can achieve is to tell the truth now,. They owe it to their families, to the citizens of Rankin County, and to posterity, to prove that there is some amount of knowing what is right in them. They are in prison for many, any years. Their sick loyalty to Bailey was repaid by him turning his back on them.

The Rankin County Mafia. That's what they call the attendees at that monthly politico meeting at McLain Lodge. The moniker is not far from the truth.

11:33 DR Horton is most likely behind it. Their new scheme is to get locals to buy the land, or if they already own it, get the development/subdivison platted, approved, and permitted, then DR Horton swoops in and "buys it" from the locals. Locals can get stuff approved without all the fuss the DR Horton name brings with it and there is nothing you can do to stop it at that point. Rumor has it there is one in the works in Pelahatchie. Any new developments in the works over there?

I didn't realize Bryan Bailey married into Rankin County politics with Irl Dean Rhodes's daughter.

And Steve Gains said of Bailey: "It made me cry at night that Sheriff Bailey, my friend, was absorbing this,” he said. “I’m gonna tell you, he has weathered the storm, and we are back.”

Goon squad aside, what about Bailey (allegedly) using Grand Jury subpoenas to stalk his (married) mistress and her boyfriend?

It just reeks of political (and maybe actual) inbreeding.

Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves, who was raised and currently lives in Rankin County, understands the importance of attending the monthly breakfast hosted by Rhodes. Reeves, the second term lieutenant governor and the longtime presumed front-runner in the 2019 governor’s race, has attended two events that Rhodes has hosted this year.

Just two days after he formally announced his candidacy for governor, Reeves stopped by to do some politicking before the breakfast group that has become affectionally known as the “Rankin County Mafia.”

“One failed candidate called them the Rankin County Mafia last year. I just call them friends!!!” Reeves tweeted on Jan. 5. “One of my first stops as a candidate was at our monthly breakfast with Sheriff Bailey, Senator Kirby, Irl Dean Rhodes and so many more already on #teamtate!!”

Help me out here...What does Irl mean? In Real Life, Laughing really loud... Thank you.

Irl : When your intended name was Earl but someone was a fan of 'Spel it like u cees it'?

As a Madison County resident who attends this breakfast does being a Rankin County Mafia get any benefits?

1:34 yes! Judging by all of the meetings centered around food, fried food especially, and those in attendance, I would say you get diabetes, high blood pressure & high cholesterol!

12:00...I am very educated on how they work ;) but I think you're missing the point...DR can't build a 2800sqft min spec on 5 acres. But they can build an 1800 sqft min spec on 2. See?

Ol' baw should just keep his mouth shut. The country got off easy, celebrate in private. Why draw attention to this travesty that was in the review mirror?

Gaines was, is and always be an idiot. He soooo bad wants to be a somebody. Has run for everything but dog catcher. He’s just trying to kiss the (now tarnished) ring.

This is not in the “review “ mirror. The Department of Justice, and the FBI are still investigating the Rankin County Sheriff’s Department. The wheels of justice turn slowly, but they turn. The “goon squad’s” heinous acts were not a one time thing. Christian Dedmon has told of one a week “ missions “ for quite a few years.This “Rankin County Burning “ travesty will not be “put behind us” as Sheriff Bailey stated.

It would be interesting to know if any other Rankin County Supervisors were in attendance at this meeting celebrating Sheriff Bailey and the county’s perceived victory in the “goon squad’s” actions the night they beat, tortured, repeatedly tased, humiliated two people and then SHOT one of them.

RB, Jr: It was sooo hot today.

Rankin County Mafia: HOW HOT WAS IT?

RB, Jr: It was so hot that I saw District 2 supervisor Scott Berry out at the Reservoir scraping the barnacles off his dingy!

RCM: BOOOOO!

Another good bites the dust!

I bit the bullet and listened to the audio of Steve Gains. He talked exactly like I expected, based on his picture.

If a normal person walked into a room full of those people, he'd probably think he had time-traveled.

Got not much time for this Steve Gaines.

If I could time travel I'd think about heading back to watch the real Steve Gaines play some guitar.

Like T For Texas with Lynyrd at Knebworth ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SY63KTMrkTM

What an Interesting few Days for Rankin County. Finally settle a very serious Federal Law Suit & a County Supervisor stands up to be stupid talking about it in a crowd. Points brought up about IDR former Felonies, never paid a dime I don't think. IDR is Sheriff Bailey's HERO, & all of a sudden Rankin Leadership wants to laugh about the situation. I realize the majority of Rankin Residents weren't Residents when IDR was convicted- so he's a God Father of Rankin County Politics. He's probably not a King Maker, he's probably playing the part of "I know it all", can save his former SIL. It takes a sorry Sheriff to deny knowledge of the Goon Squad doesn't it Ronnie Pennington?

The Trump Justice Department, you’re kidding right?

7:55, Yeah, these arrogant idiots (bad combination) are apparently doubling-down on stupid and digging in.

The only people who can change it are us voters, just like in Jackson.

I really don't think I deserve a local government of dumb, thuggish, snake-handling rednecks, with zero self-awareness.

It's sad that Rankin county citizens stands behind their racist leaders. They are all over the place and on your job as well.
