Where was this in downtown?

Now that Hohrn is mayor, is the state still trying to take over the smith-wills stadium? I haven't heard a peep about it in a while.

Their employers are very generous in giving them the following day off, with pay.

Culture. Deep culture.

I don't see how Downtown Jackson Partners thinks it can make downtown a great place for apartments as long as this goes on. While there are more than a few upscale bars in the area, they attract a lot of people who party outside the bars on the street. I'm assuming they are teenagers and people who can't afford to eat and drink in the bars.

Dang, Capitol Police on the scene in seconds... Impressive.

You never never see the Amish or Quakers doing this kind of behavior. Me thinks Culture is correct. Right.

If you refer to this as partying, you're for damned sure part of the problem.

Why are you impressed or surprised that Capitol police is quick to respond? They’re generally fast to respond and are reliable. There are 3 bars downtown that need to have liquor license revoked and then downtown would be ok. 2 are the bars on capitol street then the hoooka lounge

Yup. This particular incident seems to be in front of the Hookah Lounge on North State Street.

This is how the rest of the US sees Mississippi. :(

How many fight videos are there from just that one parking lot?

Apparently these young ladies have not completed their finishing school studies.

Ohhhh….ohhhhh! I hope some asses went to jail.

Offended by everything, ashamed of nothing.

It's all so fatiguing.

Or just refuse to outlaw loitering outside the property. These people hanging out outside the bars are not making them any money.

What’s crazy is the complete lack of disrespect for authority, used to be that when the police showed up everyone scattered. Now they don’t even care. If CP would have come from the top rope or used actual force maybe this nonsense would stop. But for Jackson, can’t we be glad that a gun wasn’t pulled? I would rather have 100 fights over 1 senseless killing.

How is anybody going to make downtown viable if it's just ghetto fights every night? It's a terrible look.

Just think how much better this will be with a casino nearby.

@10:39, if the officer would have used force the video would be described as a police officer using unnecessary force against a small black girl. He would be defending himself against all sorts of allegations. Not worth it.

Don’t save her…she doesn’t want to be saved…

Brister is just following the same tired script. Her job is to con Horhn into spending more taxpayer dollars on the failed downtown strategy.

Right by Martin’s and Hal & Mal’s. Commerce St area. By the Pascagoula St tunnel.

The city of Jackson has far too many feral people condensed into a small geographical error.
I cant fix how broken that society has become, but I can avoid it and thus hopefully minimize my exposure to stray bullets and violence.

Girls fight with open hands and grab wigs. Boys fight with guns. Neither will accomplish anything. This is today's culture of Jackson youth.

As a long time copper I learned early in my career that if you responded to a fight call and they were still fighting when you got there you drove too fast.

It's been fatiguing for a very long time.

Look at all the wigs on the ground ! :)

Downtown can be revitalized by charging admission to watch the fights.

Shut that place down. It harbors trash and thugs.

Charles Bronson said...

The LEOs should be able to launch tasers at everyone refusing to stand down when they ask. These ferals clearly have no fear of reprimand.

Unless Jackson can get a grip on its CRIME nothing will work down town

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.

Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards. Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee? 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.
