Rankin redneck shoots up hospital.

An East Jackson man was mighty upset as he shot up an operating room at a local hospital.  28 year-old William Dewitt got drunk, went to the Owl's Nest in East Jackson,  and cut a man who worked at the infamous nightclub.  The slicing and dicing of the black man did not satisfy Dewitt's rage so  Dewitt commandeered a taxi and chased the victim to the hospital. He entered the operating room and shot at a nurse who attempted to warn the rest of the staff.  a  Dewitt is white.   Thankfully, only the walls suffered the fury of his bullets as the gunshot victim hurled himself at the hoodlum and caused a shot that was aimed at the nurse's abdomen to miss.  Dewitt was arrested.  The newspaper article is posted below.

Black guy, bleeding, on the operating table. Leaps off the table and redirects the shot away from the nurse.

White nurse is declared the hero in the headline.

I hate Jackson sometimes.

I gave him credit.

You also gave Rankin County (undeserved) credit but the story says the perp lived in EAST JACKSON, not Rankin.

The shooter was clairvoyant. He warned us that 'The Robbers Are Coming' and he was right. They have come.

Relax guts relax , This happened when America, Mississippi and Jackson were "Great Right Now"; the good ol 1940's

Jumps in a Taxi......East Jackson was indeed in Ranikin County, and I'm from Rankin County. I have some old documentation from our company which had an East Jackson office, which was near the Pearl/Flowood/Hwy 80 area.

6:08; The Pearl River has for a hundred years or more been the line between Hinds and Rankin, your old company records notwithstanding. Jackson has never been in Niknar. Back then, nobody outside the area knew where Pearl, Flowood or Plain were. Your company thought it sounded classier to describe its Pearl office as East Jackson. I doubt they'd do that today.

The Pearl river notwithstanding, the Gold Coast area was commonly known as East Jackson back in the day.

So what? The Peabody in Memphis and often the burg of Oxford are often described as being in the Delta. That don't make it so any more than the Gold Coast was in Jackson. 'Commonly known' does not trump reality.

This was back in the good ole days when the clarion Ledger wasn't a liberal rag and could be counted on to report the news without the liberal slant you get nowadays. The white nurse obviously saved the day when she prompted a cowardly negro to accidently redirect a bullet intended for her or other white medical personnel. Imagine what a liberal spin the CL would put on that headline today!

Well gosh, I sure feel sorry for all those people who live in West Memphis, since they have no idea they are actually TN residents.

7:41---follow along with me here. This is some mind bending stuff that's used all over the Country:

North Jackson, South Jackson, West Jackson, Downtown Jackson------- The logic here is that must be an
East Jackson and what's East of Jackson are Pearl and Flowood. I used to call it East Jackson myself when I first moved back. County lines kinda don't matter when you're using a larger city as your point of reference. It's not about sounding nicer or not. It's about where you are located in reference to Jackson.

If the collective name in use for the Gold Coast area was 'East Jackson', then I can easily understand why.

11:51 - Nobody gives a damn what makes you feel better or what you used to call East Jackson yourself. None of that makes a damned bit of difference. Jackson is Jackson. Plain was Plain. Rankin is Rankin.

Get over your arrogant asshole Niknar self. The article uses the term East Jackson to describe what was then called East Jackson. For you idiots that want to believe your trailer in Pearl is better than anything in Jackson, they define this by stating that the shooting occurred at 'the Owls Nest' - which was a part of the Gold Coast, which was in Rankin County.

As your favorite politician has said before, "What difference does it make now?" Other than to give you something to bitch about, the paper called this area east of the Pearl River, in Rankin County, as "East Jackson".

Go back to your comic book reading -- the adults will continue a reasonable conversation.

I just read through the posts, 4:26. Which ones represent the 'adults' you speak of?

Kingfish said...

As usual, Shadowfax, your usual lack of reading comprehension is on full display for everyone to see.

The Gold Coast was called East Jackson for decades. there are over a hundred Clarion-Ledger and Jackson Daily News articles that refer to it as East Jackson. "East Jackson" is a nickname. I'm sure you are familiar with the concept of nicknames given the plethora of nicknames you create for yourself.

Jump in a Tax, No. The company had an office in the 50's in East Jackson, a community in Rankin County. It moved the office to Pearl in the 70's---and it actually changed geographic locations. Let me see if I can help you out with other communities or towns with a directional prefix that are not part of the larger town: West Memphis, East St. Louis, West Monroe, and East Lansing are just a few. No sense in learning history, eh, when you can just manufacture it? Dang, that JPS education continues to plague you.

You MF are the most ignorant people in MS. No wonder people talk about this backwards state!!!

This is WHY absolutely nothing in this state and states like it will change for the better, for EVERYONE! These comments pit race against race when it's WRONG, no matter who does it, to initiate a knife fight! Now, the conversation has turned from the actual incident, to a "my neck of the woods is better than yours!" I'm sick of silly adults who do nothing by marginalize. At the end of the day, if we go to yet another ill fated war, RED blood will be spilled on the battle fields, of our citizens. Why must we always have the need to one up someone? To feel better than someone? It's sickening and actually displays all manner of insecurity with those who comment this way.

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.
