There's a whole crew that'll swing by on a golf cart, fix it and move on to the next one.

It's a pity that what would happen to the miscreants, in China or North Korea, can't happen to them, here. What they'd get in Singapore, is too good for them.

There are people on the streets who want everything around them to be as screwed up as their own lives. Something nice pisses them off. Really.

The plants seem to be missing in the second picture. If that's the case, the culprit took them home to momma and she thanked them for their thoughtfulness.

Homeless population that Lumumba cares more about than actual citizens.

I totally agree with 8:11!
These folks hate nice things and nice people! They want the world to conform to their way which is not nice pretty attractive and most importantly peaceful

Kingfish didn't like my post about the perp taking the plants out of the pot and takin' 'em home to momma. That's exactly what happened and everybody knows it.

Jackson has become the Detroit of the south

It's the same mentality as littering. Mississippi has the worst litter problem of anywhere I've traveled in the US, and I've been to most of the states. Commenters are correct that some people hate that others have nice things.

Or maybe I was watching 1883 last night and didn't look at comments until this morning. Sorry I don't sit at my computer all night waiting for you to submit comments.

Perhaps replant the container and install a Bouncing Betty underneath…

Fake news. The two photos were taken at different locations.

I'm with 7:39 the more I look at it. I don't see how any angle from the first pic could match the second one. However the fact still remains that no, we can't have nice things in Jackson strictly due to the demographics of youth and poverty. But Dem politicians will still claim it's the fault of racism somehow.

Agree with you 7:39

Let's all be honest, this is clearly the result of Carter Jewelers' annual Plant-Tipping Sale. 75% off the lowest marked price and if you get a diamond pendant you can go outside and knock over a plant!

Could it have been mistaken for a cow? - "cow tipping"

Of course it would probably be a different picture/location. No one knew 'that' particular planter would be vandalized so they took a pic of another one, of which there must be quite a few planted the same in the area, to show what it must've looked like before.

@7:17 AM, you do make a point: there is a segment of our population for whom the world is their garbage can. The nearest trash receptacle is at their very feet or their car window.

Not trying to be harsh but worrying about Jackson ever having nice things is way down my list. That boat sailed years ago.

Accurate reconstruction of photos sequence, good thinking.

Anonymous said...

8:19 - Pretty sure he posted the first one to show what the planters look like as a general reference - some of y'all nitpick the stupidest shit.

Anonymous said...

Actually that boat sank.

There are some brain dead people commenting here. The first picture may or may not have been in the same location; it was just showing what the pot looked like, as a reference, before being turned over. That in no way changes the fact that the second photo was of a pot turned over. The good news is those astute observations now qualify y’all to be New York Times reporters.

Came here to say what 9:15 said.
They clearly took a pic of one of the non-vandalized plants as an example of the before.
Maybe 7:39 is a troll though?
Its hard to tell if people are really dumb or just looking for a battle.

Sometimes they are dumb and looking for a battle.

@8:42 😂. “ due to a flood of potting soil on the ground we will be remodeling. It’ll cost us more to deal with our jewelry so instead you can have them 99% off. Kick over a plant to reveal a Hershey kiss with an extra discount”

This is Mis’sippi and it ain’t turned over it’s Tumped over

Memphood has that honor...jacktown is becoming memphood

It's a different location and having had a storm tip a large pot that size at my house, removing and tending to the plant is step one. Or a couple of folks tipped it. The point is assuming the worst is a symptom of what's wrong in this country. And, forgetting that we don't know WHO did it or if it was accidental was the common reaction when America great because " airing the " dirty laundry" of one's family, neighborhood, city or state was considered to be not only crass but self-destructive.

Ah yes, the perception of crime defense.
I am admittedly on the cynical side that will assume this plant was tipped over largely based on actual videos of that same vandalism happening downtown.
I will also assume that 8:10 believes that protests are mostly peaceful and Hunter Biden does not know what cocaine smells like.

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.
