Let it go

Dear Ladd, let it go. Stories like this make it seem you need Frank Melton to validate yourself and I write this as someone who wanted him put in jail.

I am worried about DonnerK. Melton appears to be her grassy knoll gunman.

I have often wondered if Frank Melton took his own life.
I remember reading about his vet telling him that Abby needed to be put down, and Melton told him that she would die at home.
Did the vet provide Melton with a drug necessary to euthanize Abby at home?
The family would not allow Melton's cause of death to be released, making me wonder if he took his own life shortly after Abby died.
I suppose we'll never know.

I've also wondered if Melton and Ladd had a little crush on each other. I suppose we'll never know that either.

He died of a heart problem. I know it for a fact.

Yes, he was found non-responsive when the EMT arrived, but after CPR he was revived and later died at St. D.

All of this occurred not long after the polls closed and showed that he had lost.
Perhaps his heart was already broken over losing Abby and losing the race just took its toll.

I suppose he didn't need to take his own life since his lifestyle and severely damaged heart had his days numbered.
But, I still found it unusual that no cause of death was released.
Maybe this happens more than I realize.

I absolutely, positively cannot understand why this lady refuses to leave well enough alone. Mr. Melton is gone, God rest his soul. I get that she loathed him. I get that she "didn't understand him." But...let it go!

A short narration from an episode of Twilight Zone- "One life, furnished in early poverty"

"It's rather bittersweet how we spend so much time trying to justify ourselves to the shadows of those who are long gone. And even if they were alive, would they remember? Would they recall what they had said or done that made you spend the rest of your life proving yourself?

And if you could go back, wouldn't you learn that you were always the master of your fate?
And if you learned that great truth, wouldn't it free you of a useless burden?"

About that suicide/broken heart/whatever you want to call it thing, my take is that that is hogwash. Now, maybe he saw the writing on the wall and stopped taking his medication, but I wouldn't classify that as taking his own life. Exacerbating his death, to be sure, but I wouldn't call it suicide.

But yeah, Donna needs to let it go. It's funny, I got into the JFP because it didn't pull punches on Melton when he was mayor, as opposed to how the CL treated him (at first, at least). But after that fizzled out I realized it was just crap. I haven't read it in a couple of years. I just don't care about a bunch of all that "artistic", unkempt beard, messy hair, thrift store, Converse All Star, ratty ass, not-having-a-real-job Fondren crap. They can have it. And what's with all that weird shit those guys around there put in their earlobes now? Bunch of pansies.

Donna needs to focus her energies on vamping up her vastly declining readership. But, I doubt that is possible, I mean people have gotten tired of the one-sided interview and standpoint.....no matter what the topic is!

Donner K is beyond redemption, and not worth further attention. We'll know soon enough when the JFP ceases to publish because she's run it into the ground.

I'm more interested in the statement that the cause of death was not "released". Aren't death certificates public records? The operative word being "public"? He had refused a heart transplant, so his heart was so bad the end was in the foreseeable future, therefore his death was no surprise. Isn't his wife a cardiologist in Texas?

Kingfish said...

The symptoms he displayed when the paramedics arrived were consistent with heart failure.

Kingfish said...

Get your facts straight. I posted it a year ago:

Death certificate

Hope they counted the silverware after she left, with Christmas and tax time and all that kind of stuff in the air.......

Knock it off. They are not silver or jewel thieves. You are thinking of the shrink in NE Jackson.

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.

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.
