Jimmy, you really are a terrible person. Your desire for clicks and bolstering of ego and narcissism knows no bounds. Let the family grieve. You are a sorry human being. God will judge you too one day.

You are really posting this about a 15 year old that made a bad decision?

Kingfish said...

WLBT broke the news at 8:34. JPD sent out a press release identifying him after 8 tonight. WAPT broke it at 8:19. Are y’all over there giving those tv stations hell for reporting it? Are you giving them hell for “clicks”. Of course not.

And yall read it, and still commenting.... its F****** NEWS! If you dont like it dont read and comment!!! Wonder which JPS school he came from

There’s no reason for comments. Shut it down.

A kid is dead.

Actions have consequences, and the reality is brutal. No excuses. But at 15, you’re still largely a product of what you were handed. That’s the tragedy.

Those are news outlets. You’re not. You run a gossip blog.

Anonymous said...

Those new outlets didn’t report where he was formerly enrolled at school because it’s not relevant to this situation. A family lost their 15 year old due to a bad choice.

What number does Myles wear? 25 to life?

Last time I checked a bad choice is real life... regardless of age, sex or race... we aren't in Kansas toto, u cant click your heels 3 times and perform a miracle.

Kingfish said...

Oh, it's you. What gossip do I publish? I've asked you before and you're too chicken to give any examples.

I remember the Kingston Frazier case. None of y'all griped when I broke the news one suspect was the recent qb at Ridgeland High School. Everyone is reporting this story because JPD issued a press release identifying the deceased and suspect.

What the hell was a 15 year old freshman in high school doing out at 2:30 AM breaking into apartments anyway?

The sooner Karma knocks on your door, KF, the better.

Why are JA defenders mad at KF? Does the news of this not align with “JA is bliss” narrative? This news outlet is simply reporting the news like all other news outlets.

Anonymous said...

Everything KF reported is news, so you snowflakes need to get over it, even if you’re afraid the facts reflect poorly on JA. I quite frankly don’t see why anyone would be upset over KF picking up something the mainstream media has already broken.

This boy was my friend and a great kid. It’s not his fault he grew up in poor conditions, this could have very well been a peer pressure situation. No one should speak down on him because no one knew him. May he rest in peace.

@9:11 if it knocks it should be fine.. if you kick the door in your as good as this stories main character. There are laws for a reason.

A 15 year old kid was killed. It shouldn’t matter where he formerly went to school and the headline shouldn’t lead with it. But, KF is capitalizing on the Voyles lawsuit and looking for clicks. That’s the problem.

I see this crap every day with my job... "my baby aint bad" "he didnt mean it" " I promise it won't happen again" and guess what even on Sunday they make "bad decisions". This one just won't make another one!

God will judge us all one day. We all need to keep that in mind.

I’ve yet to see a cohesive argument explaining why KF shouldn’t have run this story. I’m thinking the JA crowd is horrified that their recruiting has bit them so hard in the ass, especially with the Voyles case in the news, and these karma comments are them grasping at straws.

Anonymous said...

So you didn't know about this side of your friend reckless enough to home invade masked @ 2 am? You think he was dealing with peer pressure and you said nothing? Not sure you actually knew him either.

Anonymous said...

That’s the problem.

Not a problem at all. Free enterprise. Don't like it? Tough.

Anonymous said...

Does KF post about every teenager shot and killed in Jackson? If not, why this one?

Anonymous said...

Lot of JA campers mad Voyles was right lmao

Kingfish said...

I didn't see y'all griping about this post. Oh yeah, that's because it's them.

Kingfish reports the raw news and doesn’t leave out details. Sometimes it’s tough to swallow, but it is the news. Appreciate KF and what he does for the community bc we sure can’t get real info from any other news sources.

@9:25..... sir,mam... if I may..... 15 year olds are killed nearly everyday in the same city in which this happened. And some even younger. I don't think a lawsuit has to do with any of them, yet it IS reported about the judges and how gracious they are in that city and county. .... let me guess this "sunday school child " was merely going into the wrong apartment to get a bible to read... he won't do it again.peer pressured or not

I haven’t seen heartfelt message from JA memorializing loss of one of their own. C’mon JA. At least act like you pretend to care

I CAN NOT wait to hear ole Clay speak facts tomorrow... (hoping he reads this and gives a shout out) Poor Pookie FAFO'd... his "friend " myles tucked tail and hauled ass.

@9:38, whatever KF decides to publish or not, isn't your call so your questions don't f'ing matter. That's the bottom line, you HAVE NO SAY in the decision making associated with KF's media business. Essentially, you are nothing more than a complaining ZERO.

Anonymous said...

Those criticizing KF for publishing news must think protecting JA is more important than posting relevant news. If I had a kid at JA, you are damn right I'd want to know he attended school there two months ago. It's tragic for everyone but don't yell at KF for posting news.

Anonymous said...

I think KF posts on at least 50% of the cases in the Jackson metro where someone uses a gun to defend themselves against a criminal committing a criminal act.

This alleged criminal just happened to be 15. His alleged accomplice was 18. Old enough to have a gun, old enough to commit a violent crime, old enough to kill, old enough to F*ck Around, old enough to Find Out.

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.
