Joy Rolland Gets Six Months For Court Outburst

It took me a while to find this, but apparently Joy Rolland lost it in court yesterday and got slapped with six contempt charges that will throw her in the hoosgow for six months.

Apparently she was in court on charges of stalking Nicole Davis, BKA "Nikki X".

Contributing to Joy Rolland's charges were segments of one of her infamous cable TV shows where apparently she threatened Nikki X.

According to the Enquirer story, Joy Rolland made a couple of inappropriate comments, got hit with at least two contempt charges and then "erupted, spewing vitriol".

Oh, come now, you can't just leave it at THAT.

Does anyone have a good play-by-play of that part of the action?

The story then goes on to make references to Joy Rolland being subdued and handcuffed, but, much to my shock, dismay and horror, it doesn't say anything about her getting TASED.

Absolutely impressive that they were able to take her down without the use of tasers or firearms.

I just hope someone can get Joy the help she obviously needs before she does end up causing herself or someone else some damage that can't be repaired ...

The person who runs TheConsciousLife on YouTube is trying to get in touch with Joy if anyone wants to pass this information on.

Nikki X And Her Fans

Since someone is clearly not going to leave me or our favorite ConspiracyNut alone until I cover this, yes, Nikki X did leave a rare blog entry - apparently about one of her own estimable commentors who apparently has been accusing her on a near-daily basis of having been responsible for the death of Kabaka Oba.

Now, whoever this person is, it does somewhat put me in mind of the rantings of Joy Rolland. In previous cable public access appearances, Joy has gone off on what looks like a cordrazine overdose ranting about "assassins" and "murderers".

The basic perception - and this seems to pervade the entire human species at times - is that no matter how open and shut a case you may have, there seems to be a tendency to blame EVERYONE except whoever actually pulled the trigger.

The biggest one of course is the Kennedy assasination. It just doesn't "sit right" for some people that a "punk with a mail order rifle" could have taken out the most powerful man on Earth.

Of late, 9/11 doesn't seem to "sit right" with people. Somehow or another an ACTUAL CONSPIRACY involving HUNDREDS of people and quite possibly several foreign governments and maybe even a major corporation or two leading to two HUGE planes packing major boatloads of fuel crashing at 500 miles/hour into two buildings built WAY before those types of planes were designed isn't enough for some people. No - they are clearly not going to be satisfied until it makes it into the history books that George W. Bush himself was somehow sitting in that classroom in Florida with a tiny little demolition detonator and brought the buildings down himself.

Similarly - people - I know it's been a little while - and I know some of this you wouldn't believe if someone wrote it as a novel, but here goes -

Kabaka Oba ran his mouth. Sometimes too much. Watching Joy Rolland for the last couple of years, yes, I'd have to say there's some possibility that she contributed to that mouth. However, I'm pretty sure she didn't force him at gunpoint onto public access and start running his mouth about having his "sodomite friends" take up light housekeeping with Howard Beatty. Did Kabaka do stuff to p*ss people off to the point of irrationality? You betcha'. Could you say he murdered himself? Nope.

Although obviously provoked, and, from some accounts, being a rather exciteable character, Howard Beatty, to the best of anyone's judgement, was a competent human being who should have known better than to blow ANYONE away across from City Hall, causing the poor mayor to soil himself.

Howard Beatty shot Kabaka.

Kabaka died of the injuries sustained in that shooting several days later.

That's it.

Period.

Howard Beatty killed Kabaka.

Not all these other people.

Now - are all these other people known to do and say way outrageous stuff from time to time?

Oh, you betcha' ...

But do they go around popping people on a daily basis?

I sure haven't read about it ...

The Return Of Joy Rolland

Last night Mrs. Axinar was flipping channels whilst I was scrutinizing the January, 2008 issue of Utne Reader when I caught a distinct "Jewnited Snakes of America" out of the corner of my ear and I looked up and beheld - you guessed it - Joy Rolland.

I could not believe my eyeballs.

I thought for sure she would have been advised by counsel to stay off public access.

I could not really make out when this video was shot, but, based upon the content, I'm guess some time roughly around Thanksgiving because she went on a LOOOOOOOOONG screed about, if I can figure out what the hell she's talking about at all, Thanksgiving somehow being some sort of plot by "The White Man".

Now, mind you, I have seen certain brothas and sistas go to EXTREME lengths to disassociate themselves from North American culture. There is of course the, "Why should I get get excited about Christmas with this blond, blue-eyed Jesus business?"

There's also of course the, "Why should I pledge allegiance to the flag when the Constitution says I'm 3/5 of a person?"

But, I'm pretty sure this is the first time I've heard someone suggesting that THANKSGVIING has racial overtones - against African-Americans anyway.

There was one part in here though that I got to thinking she might have a point. I think she was trying to say, "This holiday goes WAY back to the time of slavery. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if slave owners invented the thing. That being the case I hope to God THEY gave thanks when they were raping, pillaging, and mutilating my ancestors ..."

Joy then went on to her usual wave of insults against the Bailey and Beatty families - the siblings of her late paramour, Kabaka Oba, and those of Howard Beatty, the man who shot Kabaka near City Hall and apparently caused the poor mayor to soil himself.

Joy did also produce a piece of news that I had been unaware of - possibly because, as Mrs. Axinar is fond of pointing out, I'm not "down" - that Junebug's has closed down.

Oh, that's sad.

I never made it there - mainly due to lack of escort ... :)

For those of you who have not been keeping up, "Junebug" is Howard Beatty's brother George. Junebug owned a barbeque establishment that was a major sponsor of WDBZ "The Buzz of Cincinnati". Quite a few years back there would be live testimonials that Junebug's barbeque dishes were so tender that you didn't need teeth to "eat his meat".

Actually at one point it was even claimed that you didn't even need gums to eat Junebug's barbeque.

Joy of course took credit for the restaurant failing.

She also apparently has some new Khan Noonien Singh motif going on with wearing one black glove - with a ring on the OUTSIDE of the glove.

In any event, if I read the cards right, it looks like we will be able to enjoy Joy's ravings every first Tuesday of the month at least until September, 2008 on Time-Warner Cable Channel 24.

As time allows, I will of course will be posting reviews and highlights of the shows.

I know Crankshaft will hardly be able to contain herself ... :)
