Is this what Canton has become?

WARNING: This video is very disturbing and very graphic. The N word is used repeatedly.
The owner of Canton Estates Apartments filed several complaints against tenants in Madison County Justice Court last week after a rap video was shot at the apartment complex in May (video posted below). The landlord claimed several individuals in the video were children of the defendants and thus violated the terms of the lease.



The video is rather shocking in nature, as 25-30 black youths and children lip-synced "Welcome to my Hood". Guns repeatedly brandished. Small children always present throughout the video. Roughly half the youths in the video are shirtless. The song uses the word "nigga" over and over. Canton Estates is owned by North Mart Corporation, which is in turn operated by Bruce and Carol Kirkland. The same Bruce Kirkland who owns Baymeadow Apartments in Ridgeland. Canton Estates is also listed by HUD as a recipient of Section 8 payments.

Canton Estates attempted to evict the tenants involved in the video in June only to have a lawyer threaten them with legal action. Attorney Damon Stevenson declared in a letter to the property manager on July 25, 2011 (entire letter is posted below):

"As you should be aware, my clients received a 30 day notice of lease termination on June 30, 2011. The letter stated my clients and/or members of their household violated the lease agreement due to certain members of their household being identified in a video titled "Welcome to my Hood."

While my clients and their family members deny any wrongdoing, my office is interested in knowing why only certain individuals received lease termination letters when the video featured "an exorbitant number of individuals." Additionally, my office has seen no proof that "weapons" were real and not props. Your letter states the video was filmed without the knowledge or permission of management. However, nothing in the lease agreement states that the use of recording equipment requires prior management approval..."

My office is only attempting to put you on notice that we do not believe any of my clients have committed a substantial breach of their lease agreement and therefore my clients do not intend to vacate their apartment units or increase their monthly rents. Please understand that ANY attempt to prevent my clients from exercising their lawful right to enjoy the use and possession of their apartment units without a valid court order will result in immediate legal action from my office against Canton Estates Apartments..
.."

The two sets of documents posted below contain the eviction lawsuits, eviction notices, lease agreement, and letters from Mr. Stevenson threatening legal action against Canton Estates. Mr. Stevenson is a graduate of Tougaloo College and Mississippi College School of Law. He is a former attorney for Legal Aid and is currently a candidate for Justice Court Judge in District 4 Hinds County.


Editorial note: I wonder what Ed Blackmon, Karl Banks, Barbara Blackmon, Mayor Truly, and Vickie McNeill think of this video.

Regarding this video, though, I just wish I had not clicked on the 'start' arrow. Almost makes me remember I live here.

you know I am no weapons expert other than the fact I grew up in Mississippi. I own several weapons of various types but for that idiot of an attorney for the defense Damon Stevenson to claim he has no proof that the weapons are real or not is a bunch of crap. I can identify at least 4 weapons and also identify 3 illegally modified weapons the ATF would love to have off the street maybe this video need to make it into the hands of an ATF agent friend of mine.

Let me see, a man rents through the section 8 program, makes money. then gets upset when his tenants behave like folks who rent through section 8. What did he expect? Tea parties at 4PM?

*** The Nexus of Failure ***
The intersection of insanity connecting the metro area's highest crime rates and highest rates of tax millage.

Meanwhile Jackson's "leaders" blindly follow the fools and bond whores who play the fife that despite a cratering tax base Jackson should take on hundreds of millions of dollars in new public bond debt to finance "low risk" projects the private sector won't touch. It is an orgy of bailout, stimulus and civic circle jerk all rolled into one massive rape of the already shrinking city treasury. Spend, spend, spend and all of Jackson's problems will magically go away because the Creative Class cavalry has money to burn and everyone in the United States can't wait to get here for conventions!

While over in Canton the Blackmons and their lackey Mayor want to shakedown Nissan to pay for more videos over at the Canton Estates.

Saw this on a section 8 site :

DRUG-RELATED OR VIOLENT CRIMINAL ACTIVITY
families may be terminated if any family member has engaged in drug-related or violent criminal activity within 3 years. Termination from Section 8 does not depend on whether the family member has been arrested or convicted. It only depends on whether there is evidence to indicate a family member engaged in drug-related or violent activity.

Notice an arrest or conviction is NOT needed for termination of benefits.

KF,

I am surprised this post is titled "Is this what Canton has become?"

Canton has always been this way! Anyone surprised at this video doesn't know shit about the "actors" in it, or Canton for that matter.

Don't blame the Kirklands, you see what happens when they take action. Here comes a sorry fuckin' lawyer representing a bunch of armed gang members as "the poor tenants".

Perfect example of your tax dollars at work.

Wonder how many of them "chilrens" know their daddy?

Well if you listen to the Democrat Dorsey Carson campaign all of this is an example of what happens when voters don't elect candidates who promise to fork over more tax dollars to fund a public education system (that produces diminishing results).

I honestly hope there are no thug problems at the
Canton Flea market this year.

I always said you can only run so far north till you get to Canton. Let me put this in perspective. You take the biggest baddest thug in JACK-U-STAN and put him in Canton and he wouldn't make it to sundown before running with his tail tucked between his legs back to the much safer Jackson or getting shot by some 16 year old thug who has no fear and doesn't give a f*ck...

I've got to agree with 5:55. Canton has been that way for as long as I can remember!!! This isn't a shock or revelation. It may be worse than ever, but believe me, it's always been this way. We used to have a saying when we had to go to the Canton courthouse to search titles...will the last one leaving Canton today please just burn it down? I'm sorry I know this isn't the helpful, loving, liberal attitude to have, but here we have a shining example of The Great Society plan at work! I'm sick of it. If people choose to basically live like animals, then what do you do?

He filmed it in the "Jungle" (an area in Los Angeles); yes it is called the Jungle (go figure). The anti-gang unit came and busted up the shoot. That is part of the video. I am sure he paid to use that location. It is the norm or you WILL be sued by the property owner for a cut of the profits (yes this is LA). I am an African american so no flames about the "Jungle" use. That is what is is called.

Hate to burst your hopey bubble there Chris but that WAPT gang is as dilute a newsroom as they come. Another example where they trolled JJ for an easy story.

Dilute. Weak. WAPT.

You all are surprised by this? This is what government housing has done to society almost everywhere it exists, not just in Canton. Let me guess, you aren’t aware of the Canton Schools 50% drop out rate either?

On the other hand, Canton as a city is for the most part safe. But, word has it the Blackmon’s are taking over, and we all know what they say about pigs: you can wash them down and put a bow on top of their head (or a Mercedes under its ass), but as soon as they get loose they’re running straight to the mud hole. So, the little thuglets in this video might very well be helping run Canton one day.

We need to follow florida

MIAMI (AP) — State figures show that hundreds of welfare applicants in Florida have declined to take drug tests that have been required for the assistance since mid-July.

Thirty-two applicants failed the test, 7,028 passed and 1,597 didn't take it, according figures released Tuesday the Department of Children and Families. People who decline to take the test aren't required to explain.

8:37 you are right on. The Kaze "never wastes a crisis".

Interesting 9:03

Let's wait to see what alternative income streams the 1629 drug users choose to supplement their loss of welfare before adopting Florida's plan.

Since drug addicts aren't employable ( for long) and aren't likely to show up for rehab assuming there are enough rehab programs to accommodate them, let's see what the unintended consequences might be before jumping on this bandwagon.

I'm assuming Florida politicians didn't consider or bother to PLAN for consequences. That'd be far too rational for a politician.

And, I can't help but note that 19% of the total is smaller than I would imagine but not as small as less than 9000 on welfare given the population of Florida ( your wording) or just Miami ( more likely).Miami has nearly 2.5 million people and only 9000 have applied for assistance since mid-July in this economy?

Anonymous said...

Flip those numbers around and you'll likely have the case for Mississippi. Food Stamps is the system that needs to be fixed. I know of people that work for the State that have EBT Cards and make 70k year. These people finally get caught and the State does NOTHING, let me say that one more time, NOTHING to them for providing FALSE RECORDS AND DOCUMENTS to them. Seems like the people running the system have adopted the "it's not my money, why should I care" approach.

Anonymous said...

By the way...not that facts matter, but the 4.4 million of over 300 million Americans is the largest number ever receiving welfare.

This is still a relatively small percentage when one looks at the percentage in ANY population who are disabled or crazy.

It's not welfare that's busting the budget, it's MEDICAID and MEDICARE, but let's not face that there's a PROBLEM in " the greatest health care system in the world".

There's an irony that people who don't believe in Darwin are FOR survival of the financially fittest when it comes to health care. Letting the uninsured die doesn't really weed out the sickly out of gene pool though...

The WAPT is flat wrong about one part of this story.

Law enforcement wasn't contacted until other Canton Estates residents became worried about the open display of guns by those performing in the video. Law enforcement was not on scene monitoring the shoot nor blessed in advance or concurrently the usage of those "props".

What a bunch of thugs. We had our anti-establishment movement in the 60's, but we sang about them shooting us, not us shooting them. I don't understand why responsible black Americans everywhere aren't condemning this behavior. Our parents and establishment types sure condemned us. I don't know...maybe each generation is destined to suffer through this with their youth, although it's a good bet that some of the lads in this video won't make it that long. Bill Billingsley

Yes, JKev, Jerry Lousteau. I would bet my uncle's last mule he has had this on his show and that it ran for days in a row. He's pretty forthright and apparently honest in his coverage of 'all things Canton', without regard to his personal safety or who he might piss off.

Why do some of you think this warrents major nightly news coverage on Jacktown stations? There are car wrecks to be shot by Mary Weiden, trash on sandbars to be covered by her husband, Beerrrrrrrt, the chance of storms ten days out to be covered by Hartmann and WLBT's stand-in retired news-reader-girl from the past has to handle important upcoming stuff like Mistletoe.

But, really, who in the larger market shivs a git about a bunch of punks mimicking a rap-turd? If they get coverage, the blue-bloods in Fondren will just book them for the next Thursday-Night-Out event.

ShadowWhack why don't you start your own blog? Seriously. You've got something to say then why don't you say it. It is FREE to do your own thing. Not saying that in order to get you out of here but rather would find it interesting what you might produce freed from the bondage of the scat you find yourself compelled to leave in yards of others. What are you doing to help Lousteau? Or maybe your true intent is not to help him but to wound him like the others who don't want the truth to be told.

4:26; you make no sense. I'm the one who made the statement that there's an a.m. station in Canton with a man who tells it like it is without regard for his own safety. I listen to his show occasionally, thus my description of him as forthright and honest. Do you have a reading comprehension problem?

This is Lousteau's territory and I'm sure he's on top of it. Vickie McNeil, Truly, Blackmon, et al, will ignore it and chalk it up to chilluns wif no daddy. Nobody else in the media will give a hoot.

This is truly sad to see my generation act and behave as such and to think that this is cool, okay, and acceptable. If this is what I have to look forward to as far as leading this country in the next few years I ask God to please have mercy on us. Then again half of them may not be around in the next few years which is very sad. I also believe that all that govenment assistance should be cut out. I work hard everyday and have a college degree and those who don't work get more benefits and help than I do. My tax dollars allow them to do as such. Where are their mothers? Oh, I know watching and laughing thinking that it's cool to do so. God have mercy on us...better yet God have mercy on them!

I know of at least one Madison County SO deputy who won't do a single thing about the thugs and illegal guns shown in this video as he is far too busy handing out absurdly bogus DUIs to over-inflate his law enforcement stats for ridiculous tv ads run during the most recent Sheriff's election.

Can someone refresh my memory? Exactly which side of County Line Road does Canton sit on?

Kingfish said...

That was why I did not like the ad. My first thought was Sandridge, what about Canton and SE Ridgeland. What you going to to do about those areas?

Just to show you how anti law enforcement canton is, during the county court race last year, the Ratcliffe people took the endorsements of Sheriff Culpepper and showed them to the black community up there. The storyline given was you don't like the roadblocks, well Toby is trying to put his judge in there. Drove up the turnout in that community. His people were laughing about it afterwards.

The video was disgusting, but seeking removal for "unlawful entry and detainer" will not work in Justice Court. It must be filed in County Court in Madison County because Section 9-9-21(1) provides that "[t]he jurisdiction of the county court shall be as follows: ... It shall have exclusively the jurisdiction ... in ... actions of unlawful entry and detainer ..."

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.

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. 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.
