Downright MEAN People, Folks Are ANGRY Hope This Goes Viral...

[DougGuy]

I grew up in Ocean Springs Mississippi, a small town on the Gulf Coast that resisted the casinos and commercialism that swept Biloxi up into the gold dust and swallowed it. OS is now THE PEARL of the Mississippi coast, beautiful small town with all the charm you'd expect to see, this post is to illustrate one evil act of cruelty to an animal that seems to have touched everyone in town, and getting the attention of the MSM.

Carl The Rooster was a beautiful vibrantly colored rooster that roamed the uptown district as if he owned it which he practically did, he was a LEGEND in his own time. People would bring their children for miles around to let them see and meet Carl, he hung out on store fronts, roosted on people's porches, he was both a mascot and a celebrity, well loved and well cared for.

There was lots of merchandise, tee shirts, coffee mugs, door mats, with his likeness, his presence was the highlight of many a young child's summer vacation to the beaches. Carl loved people, loved strutting around and showing off his colorful bouquet of tail feathers, he was as it is said "the cock of the walk." He hung out in bars and eateries, you would see him all over the downtown area, until...

At a little after 3am a few nights ago a group of six people can be seen taking Carl off his roost and walking down the street with him in their arms. Video later shows them dumping his body on the side of the road. They have been identified and apparently aren't Ocean Springs residents.

The instigator and the person who actually removed Carl from his roost turns out to be a Jones County Juvenile Corrections Officer, who was FIRED from her job by the Jones County Sheriff, and also charged in Ocean Springs with "misdemeanor animal cruelty other than to a dog or a cat."

Court date is May 4th 4pm, I (along with the entire town and Carl's large social media following) am anxiously waiting to see the wheels of justice roll slowly over this low life maggot of a human. 35yrs old. Any officer that would do something like this does NOT need to be working with troubled kids!

Here is a FB page for Carl:

Farther down the page you can find a listing for tee shirts and other items that proceeds support a memorial for Carl.

That is just SAD. How could a person do something like that to an innocent animal?

I hope the wheels of justice turn and all parties involved are squeezed tightly in them!!!!

Some people’s children…… We had a similar group in Destin, one big mistake they made, at 3AM one morning, I could not sleep, and saw them from my picture window with a cup of coffee in my hand, them under a street light, destroying the neighbor’s property, IDed them, their car and the club they used and they had damaged their car in the get away, Deputy caught them, about a mile away. I prosecuted them. Too bad they only got fined and probation…. Judge made them as a group, come to my house and apologize to me, get a written statement signed by me that they had done so. They should have all been sentanced to jail for a year and a day making them a convicted felon..

those fools should be tar and feathered in the pubic square

Some people are just broken beyond repair. There was a similar story in a small town near me. A dog that belonged to a local panhandler who always sat at the one stop sign in town. The man passed away but the dog kept coming to the stop sign. He became like a mascot in the town until a few months ago someone purposely swerved onto the shoulder to hit him. I think if they ever find the driver he’ll likely just disappear into the Ozark Mountains…

Trump made animal cruelty a federal felony, and the town where this happened has Gulf Islands National Seashore within city limits. Maybe.. Just MAYBE this could come under federal jurisdiction, because the whole town is listed as a "resort area" where you can serve liquor 24/7 so we will see how this turns out..

DougGuy, if you don’t mind please update this thread after the hearing.

Did some fishing in ocean springs last year, nice area, had my catch cooked at McElroys chef did a good job. Hope the perp gets more than a slap on the wrist.

Similar things have happened here. There were tame ducks at one of the local landings,and some immigrants from Europe killed and ate them. Didn't waste them at least. Then there were hundreds of ducks at a local park, that had become a nuisance, and the F&G trapped a bunch and moved them away. Transients regularly would catch one and eat them before the flock was trimmed.

Thanks Doug! I too hope that this goes viral and I sincerely hope those involved get the most severe penalty under the law! There is absolutely no reasoning for an act like this, from a stupid kid much less an adult, in this case….a sub human adult! memtb

Used to have a tame feral cat named Goofball who lived where he chose... he stayed with me sometimes(yes in the house, he was well behaved and litter box trained), with my neighbor, with the neighbor across the street... he roamed about a 6 block area and people would let him in to hag out, when he went to the door he went on his merry way to the next house he wanted to visit. He stayed with me about half the time so I considered him my cat, made sure he saw the vet etc. Goof loved to go to the bar in summer and hang out on the patio and get snacks from people and a lot of pets and love.

One night I was out in the garage working on a project when I look out and see Goof heading across the street to come hang out with me. He was good with traffic and looked both ways... except the guy 2 houses west of me screamed around the corner on his motorcycle and deliberately swerved to hit him. I reported it, he got charged and convicted of animal cruelty, I buried Goof under his favorite tree across the street. He is missed by everyone in town!

People like that deserve to rot in a cell for 5 years, instead he got a fine. He still lives in that house but nobody in town talks to him and I have been hearing the house is going up for sale this summer and he is moving to a different state to get away from the cloud of bad following him. He lost his job over it, nobody in a 5 county area will hire him...

It's just a sign of the times these days.
Happens here so often, it's no longer reported.
Parents can no longer discipline their kids, thanks to the damacraps.
Morals, manners, pride, honor, have no meaning anymore.
Country is going down the toilet real fast.

[dverna]

Very sick people out there.

[Land Owner]

And THAT's why we can't have nice things...

please dont give me this political division garbage
this kid I had crossed paths with, yeah, I knew him. a very wealthy family, big time GOP supporters donated millions , the kid murdered another kid in front seat of his car for a brick of cocaine. had his car washer, yeah, had a private car washer, clean the blood out of his car. republican kids lack manners and ethics just like the independents, libertarians and democrats. its a generational morals thing, some just live in all white ghettos.

Jon Anderson wrote the line in a song
crawling out of dirty holes their morals disappear
well sometimes the ones living in dirty holes have the highest morals and those living in penthouses have none.

[white eagle]

it's to bad people are like that
chances are pretty good nothing will happen to deter this kind of behavior in these slime bags
there should be some creative punishment given these degenerates to make an example of them

[farmbif]

Ocean Springs can mete out some very fitting punishment like painting the City Hall building, where everybody knows everybody, and they smile at you when they walk by with that "uh huh there's the little sonofabitch paying his dues, look at him they let him off too easy" look in their eye. Ask me how I KNOW this...... A lot more than just labor comes with their Community Service agreement. You do this or you do some time in the graybar hotel just behind City Hall.

[Buzz Krumhunger]

They ought to spend their nights at the Graybar and their days on a chain gang clearing the shoulders of county roads with a YoYo.
