Live from Downtown

The residentially challenged can get pretty creative but this is a new one on High Street.   



Obviously this is a sad situation but our leaders do nothing while this problem continues to fester.

The ONLY solution to the homeless problem is to run them off! If we build "resources" for them and give them cash at intersections they will only fester and grow in population. These people are not some innocent little angels that were just "dealt the wrong cards" in life. They choose to do this to themselves and our cities. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!! Tell them to get the fuck out of here!

A LOT OF THE churches downtown and non profits have homeless programs and keep them satisfied. We support them so of course they are going to just hang around. Its a complicated situation because if a leader just rounded them up and kicked them out im sure some libs would start crying or suing

The people asking for cash at intersections are far from homeless.

Previous posters will be the first to cry out that we are a Christian nation!

To me this is second biggest issue facing Jackson. Number 1 is murder. You will never have businesses thrive in Jackson as long as these crack heads are around stealing and breaking stuff. High Street is becoming their favorite hangout now. They are homeless by choice not because they have run into hard times unless you consider hard times include smoking crack

The federal government should build a facility in every city with a homeless population to house and feed these people. Nobody knows the trauma these people have suffered and they need free mental health counseling with good therapists and psychologists and psychiatrists and medication and then and only then will the problem be solved. The Untied States government created this problem and they need to fix it!

Just waiting for the shower power to feed/cloth and bathe them. Every day for eternity. But as long as you get to put it on Facebook you’re doing a good thing right?

So you’re going to complain about churches trying to help the homeless but your solution is to round them up and send them somewhere else for someone else to deal with? Yes, keep telling yourself that it’s the liberals who are the problem.

The fine “Christian” attitudes of the Trump class in full display in this comment section. May your lips always be orange as you kiss the feet of your god king. Praise be to fat Don.

Somebody here seems have done a lot of statistical analysis of the homeless in Jackson.

Maybe he could share his research data with the rest of us.

10:53- biggest problem in Jackson is revenue. 2nd problem is infrastructure & 3rd is housing. Fix these and all others will take care of themselves!

Virtually all Democrat- led cities suffer from these circumstances.

Don't choke on this narratives koolaid.

These people even have a website to find where the best freebies are around the US. They access this with their smartphones. Feed them/bath them, they will come.

Pretty easy to not be homeless. Just don’t do drugs and if you become mentally ill just fix it. There are meds out there. It’s literally that simple.

Not all of these people are addicts and/or mentally ill. That is a narrative pushed by the bleeding hearts and lefties who benefit financially from this. Many of these people are just lazy and can survive off the freebies.

10:56 a.m. - Explain how the federal government created homelessness?

Unknown said...

You know, there's an actual reason the park service and others post "don't feed the bears" signs in the forest.......

We need to get them help but also get them out of downtown. With good interstate access and location, Metrocenter is perfectly suited for a facility to meet their needs combining all existing shelters. Something along the lines of Jackson Medical Mall.

They are lazy drug addicted crack heads

Any help that isn't connected to work is a losing proposition.

11:29 AM, the proper Christian position can be found in 2 Thessalonians 3:10, if they don't work, they shouldn't eat. That shoe fits you, too.

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.
