What kind of gangs do they have in Rural Mississippi? Do they threaten your cows if you don't give them some fresh eggs?

I know there might be a few guys running around in a jacked-up '66 Impala with 22" rims, but how much gang-banging is going down in the country?

Maybe I am blind, but I just don't get how gangs can 'thrive' amongst cow fields where the biggest store is a quick stop selling fried chicken.

What did they say, there are like 400 people in that town, 100 of which are elderly and children.

I've been thinking the same thing. No doubt they have some bad dudes, and probably even groups of bad dudes, but I kinda doubt that there is much organization, especially not enough for police intimidation to the extent of impeding a murder investigation, especially a national story murder such as this one.

Its close enough to Memphis to have some legit ties.

All those South Panola thugs that can't qualify academically to play football have to end up doing something. They've been told how awesome they are since they were in 4th grade, then boom, they graduate and can't read.

Gangs and drugs are the best way to make money in their eyes.

South Panola - one of the three best high school football programs in the South, with unbelievable football talent every year, and there's only a handful that ever even made it to college.

Are you aware that whenever I get a package of plain M&Ms, I make it my duty to continue the strength and robustness of the candy as a species. To this end, I hold M&M duels.

Taking two candies between my thumb and forefinger, I apply pressure, squeezing them together until one of them cracks and splinters. That is the “loser,” and I eat the inferior one immediately. The winner gets to go another round.

I have found that, in general, the brown and red M&Ms are tougher, and the newer blue ones are genetically inferior. I have hypothesized that the blue M&Ms as a race cannot survive long in the intense theater of competition that is the modern candy and snack-food world. Greens are set aside in a Brandy Snifter, both in homage to rockers of old, and for small amounts of self indulgence as the championship is underway.

Occasionally I will get a mutation, a candy that is misshapen, or pointier, or flatter than the rest. Almost invariably this proves to be a weakness, but on very rare occasions it gives the candy extra strength. In this way, the species continues to adapt to its environment.

When I reach the end of the pack, I am left with one M&M, the strongest of the herd. Since it would make no sense to eat this one as well, I pack it neatly in an envelope and send it to M&M Mars, A Division of Mars, Inc., Hackettstown, NJ 17840-1503 U.S.A., along with a 3×5 card reading, “Please use this M&M for breeding purposes.”

This week they wrote back to thank me, and sent me a coupon for a free 1/2 pound bag of plain M&Ms. I consider this “grant money.” I have set aside the weekend for a grand tournament. From a field of hundreds, we will discover the True Champion.

There can be only one.

That's a little misleading. All those kids go to a 6A High School (South Panola) which is the largest classification in the state. The football team has been pretty much a staple in the USA Today Top 25 in the country. Probably won 10 state championships in the last 14 years. I think they went 6-7 years without losing game.

But there are a bunch of shitty people in that neck of the woods

Yeah, I'm gonna need a lot more corroboration before I buy into the wild theories being thrown around by some of these websites. Tragic situation, horrific crime. Local law enforcement is in over their head with this, and may be a little shady themselves. But some grand conspiracy worthy of a Grisham novel? I'm dubious at this point.

So, the gang meeting is like

"Holmes, you take dis pot and try to sell it to old man Johnson up on 48."

"Beezer, you go down to the beauty salon and see if Laqueefa gunna buy some mo."

How many customers can they have?

have you looked at Ali's FB posts?

have you seen the pictures of members in jail and otherwise throwing up signs?

have you seen the proximity of Courtland to Memphis?

have you seen the ties that the area has to drugs, specifically Meth?

this is a perfect area for those who have less to FEEL like they have more by what being in a gang and involved in drug trafficking can offer them...I understand what you are implying, but after reviewing a lot, the accusations that the M&M is a hub are hard not to believe...

89 wins in a row. It was surreal. The've won 73 of 78 since that 89 win streak. Junior high team has not been beaten since 1999.

The school is 340-85 all-time in football, an 80% all time winning percentage. All but 10 of those losses came prior to 2002, and they have only had one losing season.

Its a football factory that graduates thugs to all kinds of evil. Really shitty people up that way.

My working theory is that they have paid off the small town Panola County law enforcement and they are running the Memphis drug ring out of there, and of course they are less than a 20 minute drive from Oxford.

have you also seen the proximity to Ole Miss?...college kids never do drugs do they?

hiding out in Courtland would be a great setup to distribute in the outlying, more populated areas...open your eyes man...

The conservative treehouse stuff with all the posts is pretty interesting, especially the one with the ex-OM athlete/NFL player chiming in.

The population of Courtland in 2000 according to Wiki was 460.

Is there drug dealing going on out of that gas station? Entirely plausible. Is some of it going back and forth to Memphis? Also plausible. But if you're implying that the entire Memphis drug trade is being run out of Courtland, MS, that's so farfetched as to be laughable.

Have you seen the surveillance video? That doesn't seem the least bit suspicious to you? I mean, I guess it's possible somebody else in that exact same area at the same time was running around with a jug of gasoline that they used to pour down this girl's throat and douse her car with.

Sorry, I'm not privy to how drug trade works. I assumed that a convenient location on an interstate a short drive from a metropolitan area would be ideal, like a small town factory that supplies an auto plant in a larger area.

Dgaf what it stands for, but when you can get 30+ round clips for semi-automatic weapons that's "assault" to me.




As opposed to what? 10 round magazines? 5 round magazines? Please, explain to me how a 30 round magazine makes the rifle more lethal than a 20 round magazine.

I live about 30 minutes south of there. Several months ago we had a fellow come and talk to our civic club about gangs as he was the head of the Panola Gang Task Force. They worked with law enforcement to help educate them who the prominent gangs were around the area, their graffiti, their reputations and such... Anyway Gangster Disciples are the big Crew around this area but according him there is A LOT of gang activity in north MS.
