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.

Trollfest '07
Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. 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.

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.
If you get tired come relax at the Fox News Tent. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag.

Is this a step toward restorative justice?
His skin is obviously the wrong color.
Watts was obviously the wrong color and gender perhaps
Couldn’t even use him for photos?
Maybe he told her what she was doing wrong.
Rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.
@10:36 AM The left can identify genders?
If he felt like he was discriminated against he should sue.
It looks like the same people who complain about injecting race into everything are once again congregating on here to inject race into everything. What hypocritical morons yall are.
Good to see action taken. Not sure why all the negativity.
It really doesn't matter what they do. Nothing is going to change. Jackson especially south jackson is too far gone.
The city says it's broke just wait for all these wrongful termination lawsuits to start pouring in. This city is headed for catastrophic failure any day now.
Every once in a while, it really is race.
You people are never satisfied. Complain, complain, complain.
11:34 AM What action?
Don't know what Horhn was thinking when he hired Brackney. She's going to prove out to be one of his biggest mistakes.
It doesn't matter who the chief is anymore. No one will be able to fix Jackson. The inmates run the asylum.
You people? Who is you people?
Dr. Chief wilts under pressure and manufactures a scapegoat, apparently with Horhn's blessing. What a cluster.
I’m pulling for John, but I think he was pushed by white liberals with money to hire her with the promise of a cash infusion to the city.
Barksdales perhaps ?
She and they don’t want any “white” representation. They wanted a “yes” man and Wendell is not one.
I’ve known Wendell since 1989 as students at Hinds when he was in the criminal justice program. He is a good man and more experienced than the Dr chief.
Her leftie progressive chief of staff will become the asst. chief, even though she has no peace officer status/training/certification. Great hire mayor. Not.
Maybe what the JPD was doing wasn't working?
Exactly!
Hope he gets a good lawyer.
New boss, same as the old boss. They are about to run out of people to blame their incompetence on.
Going to be the worst Chief in JPD history. A lot of officers are looking for new jobs and over her. Mayor Horhn is a joke with this one
He was just to dang red for Ole Girl to handle. It doesn't matter who she fires and hires. Only God can fix these countrywide moral issues. And it is countrywide . We have let evil into everything.
Too many good officers overlooked for promotions because the Mayor felt he had to hire from the outside. Now it’s clean house! What bullshit! I surmise the bodyguard/driver will be the next assistant Chief!
Nothing will change except the hats. Chief whats next? Shave them damn beards! They look stupid and unprofessional. Pete Hegseth is on the way! Get rid of them bellies and them sissy wrapped vehicles.
Wendell was paid $82,000 in 2025. This leftist chief is paid $150,000. Go figure.
Have known Wendell for years . . . bad move Chief! He is what the City of Jackson needed!!!
Dr. Chief is not going to last. She hasn't been a success at anything other than getting a PhD. I'll bet her buddy she brought in from out West will move into Watts's office in the morning.
12:21 He was an at will employee.
