Back to perceptions

WJTV reported JPD met with Belhaven Heights residents about crime:



The young woman who was attacked a few weeks ago said in response to the video: "That class won't do any good. It's hard to get a description of someone like that when you are running for your life."

It's hard to get a description of someone like that when you are running for your life.

Yep......that says it all.

That lovely phrase - "Perception of Crime". The one tossed about by Johnson sycophants to defuse citizens expressing a real fear for safety. If I may borrow one of Donna's favorite tactics, this phrase is code for "You're a racist. You see a city with 80% black population and you perceive crime."

As I said yesterday, Donna Ladd is like a member of the John Birch Society. Racists are everywhere, hiding in plain sight, using code phrases and making up stories about crime to make black people look bad, in her view. She assumes the worst of people rather than the best, and a good day for her is when she "uncovers racism", not when she discovers the motivations of those who oppose her are rooted in genuine concern for the community.

Her reasoning is some of the most unsophisticated I have seen. It's like arguing with a 14-year-old who hits you with phrases like "oh yeah? well you're probably one of those people who wants to make black people slaves again!"

But, for all her blather and posturing and whining about "perceptions of crime", you'll notice that she hasn't moved the offices of the JFP to West Capitol, and she doesn't live across from Westland Plaza. Is that because she perceives crime, or is is because she fears black faces?

I wonder...

Having sat through the JPD crime prevention spiel too many times I can safely summarize it in 2 sentences:

1. JPD guarantees you that crime is going to happen in Jackson.

2. JPD is ineffective at stopping crime in Jackson.

You can thank me later for just saving you from wasting hours of your life listening to JPD discuss crime prevention.

That is all. Carry on.

The best way to avoid car theft in Belhaven is to not own one.

Reminiscent of the meeting Jackson VA officials had with the plebes.

"We're here to remind you that we're doing a good job and we have your back and we want to partner with you. Thank you for coming."

8:07, excellent description of Ms. Ladd. That rag she publishes is about the worst thing I have ever read... and I read a lot.

We had a burglary, home invasion, and car theft on Arlington St. The JPD officer could not enter the residence because she was "allergic to dogs". The crime has never been solved and the vehicle never recovered. The criminal demanded the ladies car keys because" he had done something" at Millsap's and needed to flee. Incident was reported by JPD as an "auto burglary". I guess that is a perception of crime.

Don't forget that Tyrone Lewis stated clearly on the Kim Wade radio program that if the law of the land is to confiscate your weapons and ammunition that he WILL FOLLOW the law of the land.

Thank you 4:29. We will have Lee Vance look into this. We want to partner with you.

Safety is a formal duty of the government,but at grassroots level -its the concern of neighbors. Police are just peace officers who get the evidence from all sources for the justice system to work. Rarely do they prevent crime as the cavalry riding in to save you. You have personal weapons to intervene or the 'perception' of strength as the first line of defense. Males have the protection role in our society. Its a primitive or tribal thing. Females and youth are watchers. They feel safe when they have a network of people to protect them so that is why the police use words like 'partner'.

JPD doesn't collect evidence Charlie.

I think the thing that I find most incredible these days - and have for some time - is people's willingness to paralyze THEMSELVES to avoid being called a racist! A WORD! Who cares if you're being called a name when doing nothing could mean the difference between life or death!

Seriously, think about what I'm saying. People have begun to (a) voluntarily avoid criticizing politicians who are blatantly doing wrong, (b) give up their personal safety, (c) avoid talking about solutions for the clear degradation of society, etc.....ALL to avoid being called a word! That's incredible to me! I'm not a "racist;" I'm an "observationist!" Irrespective of what you call me, I can see with my own two eyes what's going on, and I can testify about who's doing it! I don't need the affirmation from those who would call me a racist in order to silence me! Call me what you want, but I will never avoid telling the truth based on a word you may call me.....and I encourage others to consider what I'm saying and follow suit!

Whether you believe it or not, we're in REAL danger of losing this country, and it's happening from within! Just think about how differently we now live than we did 30 years ago (ALways lock your house; ALWAYS lock your car; NEVER go into certain areas of town; NEVER go to certain retail areas at certain times of the day; ALWAYS lock your purse in the trunk of the car; and the list goes on......and you and i BOTH know who's responsible for all of this: Democrats - both from the "supply side" (administrative/government) and the "demand side" (criminals). As long as Democrats can control the subjects about which we talk (silencing debate by calling those who oppose them racists - again, they have to first convince people that being called a racist is the worst thing possible....and they have), then they're going to win. And right now, they are.

You BETTER wake up! Quickly!

(Unbelievably, there are plenty of you who, while agreeing with me, will read this post as the rantings of a "racist." For those of you who do, you're going to end up with the country you deserve, and you will most assuredly be "touched" by the Democrats you dearly love, yet also fear.)

Charlie Sez: Rarely do they prevent crime.....

Don't tell that to the citizens of Madison who are used to seeing cop cars criss-crossing this city in a well planned pattern day and night. This includes the MSO. When you pass a cop car in Madison and think, "Whew, I can speed up now", don't count on it. Here comes another on a cross street and one behind you.

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.
