New Pearl Police hire is met with pushback at community meeting

PEARL, Miss. (WLBT) - Over a dozen residents raised their concerns at a city of Pearl community meeting Friday night regarding the police department hiring former Richland Police Officer Jeremy Rast, who was fired last year for making “derogatory slurs” toward a Hispanic man.
Residents questioned whether he had learned from his mistakes and if residents could trust him in the line of duty.
The pushback stems from an incident last year on June 2 when Rast and other officers were responding to a domestic disturbance involving a gun.
Rast then had an interaction with Luis Rodriguez and others, which Rodriguez recorded.
That is when Rast made comments toward Rodriguez, like, “I will look for you every shift to try and arrest you,” and even “Go back to Mexico.”
These are the comments that residents brought up, questioning if they have to fear for themselves rather than trust those sworn to protect.
Chief McLendon answered those questions and concerns Friday night, standing by his decision to hire Rast after careful consideration. Chief McLendon also stated that Rast will go through more training before he returns to the line of duty.
The meeting then concluded with residents asking for another meeting to be set that would involve Rast so they could ask questions and raise their concerns directly with him.

Proposal would make surgical castration a potential penalty for statutory rape in Mississippi

JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - Rankin County Rep. Fred Shanks has filed House Bill 1028 that would increase the penalties for statutory rape.
“Essentially, if there’s a child involved, 13 or younger, and the offender is 17 or older, it’s surgical castration,” explained Shanks.
It would be a new option for the judge in sentencing, and it would be in addition to their time in jail.
“I’m a father, and my daughter is 13, and you know it really hit home when this came up,” noted Shanks. “I think it’s the right thing to do. It sends a strong message. And to be honest, if you know this unfortunate event ever happened to my child, the least of their worries would be this bill.”
We asked more of you what you think of the proposal.
“I don’t have no problem with it,” said Karlos King. “Young children, innocent, pure, I don’t think it would be a problem with it.”
“I’m not opposed to it,” described Angela Jones. “I just think there needs to be some stipulation. I think if it’s a repeat pedophile, absolutely.”
“That 13-year-old or under has got to live with that for the rest of their lives,” noted Gayla Book, whose daughter was raped at 13. “There’s no getting out of it. You know, there’s no 10-year limit for them on whether they get to forget about it in 10 years.”
Several states have laws on the books allowing for chemical castration as a consequence of certain sex crimes. However, last year, Louisiana was the first to approve surgical castration.
Rep. Shanks is hoping it will clear the committee and be brought up for a vote by the full House of Representatives.
“I’d be very curious as to who would vote no on it on the House floor,” he added.

LIVE, RAW, UNCUT & UNCENSORED W/ PHILLIP YARBROUGH - THE MISSISSIPPI MUSIC SCENE

My good friend and self proclaimed "local entertainer" Phillip Yarbrough joins me as I experiment with a new show idea tonight, we just sat around drinking whiskey and talking about the local music scene, the politics surrounding it, what type of bands and / or artist are drawing crowds, what platforms are helping them draw and more. Phillip also plays us 4 great songs at the end of the show to cap off the nearly 3-hour conversation!! I can't promise that I'll do more shows like this because everyone isn't Phillip, but I had a great time doing it and based on the comments and text messages so did the live audience.
