I would have punched the mayor in the balls. I'm not his damn hug monkey.

anal brazil men: hug monkey.


that phrase made my morning, thanks.

"It's been such a stressful two weeks," Melton said. "I wanted to shake their hands. I wanted to touch them..."

And now four busloads of children need therapy.

The man needs a good hug. Oblige the crazy fark. I mean, he's clean (presumably) and probably wearing some nice aftershave. Just give the guy a big ol' bearhug and move on with the day with a spring in your step.

Four busloads, eh? That's like, a brazillian counts of simple assault.

From TFA: "I didn't do anything stupid or illegal."

These words you keep using- I do not think they mean what you think they mean.

Huggy Bear approves.

I'll bet the teachers got jealous...

/Everyone needs a hug once in awhile

I think it probably was illegal.

New headline:
Mayor jealous of all the teachers getting it on with students. Wants some for himself.

Buffy ownz.

Melton said students saw him out their windows and waved before he had the buses stopped. "I told the kids to have a great weekend and a safe weekend," he said. "I didn't do anything stupid or illegal."

I can probably agree with the illegal part. But only that part.

Hugs are a gateway drug.

Yea, God forbid he's a nice guy who pays attention to every one even non voters. Why are people so jaded. I think acting tough on the internet has finally made some of you crazy. Go get a hug and relax.

anal brazil man I wanted to say something positive towards frank melton since I lived in the Jackson area 21 years before I moved to starkville, and since I grew up watching him on the local news with his segment "The Bottom Line" but damn....laughing way to much at hug monkey to think of anything....good one.

Greeting children at school getting on or off the bus: fine
Greeting children in classes at school: fine
Greeting children at the shopping maill: fine
Pulling school buses off their route, off an expressway, while they are transporting children: something weird here!

It's called hugging, and it's illegal.

/Beating dead horses since 2001

I think I can understand where the guy's coming from, and I really don't think this is as big a deal as our touch-phobic society will make it out to be...

But still, that's a damned risky political move, doing something that can be construed as "stress makes me want to touch children."

/Seriously, though, everybody needs a hug sometimes
//I'm with JoJoTheIdiotMonkeyBoy... just give the poor stressed mayor a hug, enjoy the nice aftershave, and feel good about having helped a crazy old dude out
///LOL, hug monkey

HA HA I live in Jackson. And let me tell you, Frank is nuts.

He's had a bad week because he has been trying to hold people without warrants, he goes on police swat raids and carries a sidearm, which he hasn't registered until just this week.

His background? TV....

I like Frank, but he is going to get shot.

OK, I vote that someone get this guy some chocolate-covered xanax. And maybe some shock therapy.

"I wanted to touch them"

WTF is his problem?

I smell 'recall'.....

OH and the state attorney general is investigating him.

But is it a chocolate city?

Oh wait! Chocolate cities dont have school busses. Or if they do, the school busses have been flooded.

I doubt he made a single-file line and hugged every student willing or not. It sounds more like he just walked through and greeted them and hugged those interested in such, since it seems these kids already recognized him. I just remember a lot of teacher/principal-student hugging when I was in school, mostly by girls of course.

But honestly (and hugging aside) I was motivated by people like that in High School, that would take the time to visit us unannounced for reasons other than political or have totally open question sessions rather than a formal assembly.

remove the space between the 9 and 2.

Considering the way highschool girls look nowadays, I don't blame him. At the end of a stressful day, nothing helps you unwind like giving a teenage girl a boob squashing, ass grabbing, neck nuzzling hug.

Well, we all know how Jackson is with children being touched...

Heh, I used to live in Jackson, raised in Mississippi. I love my home state.

I live in Georgia now, but wouldn't mind going back home.

Mississippi, stay weird to keep the weirdos out.

I'd like to hug a bus full of kids too!

MSUITGUY: I lived in the Jackson area 21 years before I moved to starkville

I don't know why anyone would publicly admit that they lived in either of those places.

I bet he hugged more girls then guys.

Sounds like a freakin weirdo to me. You are having a rough 2 weeks so you order your police escort to pull over 4 school buses so you can hug the kids on them??? I bet he didn't mind the side benefit of rubbing up against the high school girls breasts when he hugged them.

I'm naming my next band Hugmonkey.

Although if I lived in Jackson, I would've voted for him, I now regret those thoughts and it scares me everytime I see his name in the newspaper.



/Hinds county is scary...
//Glad to be getting the hell out of Mississippi in a few months

Aw,I thought it was really sweet. I think it's sad that adults can't show affection for kids without it being something questionable. Sometimes a hug is just a hug... and good for him for doing that. It made an impression on the kids, I bet.

Broad111

Don't forget the feud between Frank and District Attorney Faye Peterson.

HUGS, NOT DRUGS?

What a farking freak.

ZekeMacNeil I usually don't admit it, but I like Madison or did before it got so freakin big. Starkville, meh its all about the job...only reason I am here....the women are a nice bonus though. And to everyone else, Melton is a good guy just unorthodox in his ways and weird.

Fnord: What a farking freak.


Hey, I resent that remark!

Aw,I thought it was really sweet.

having just left my son's dress rehearsal for his kindergarten play, i wanted to say the same thing. aww, the sweet childrens, why does this have to be weird, etc, etc. but when you're pulling busses of kids off the road just to get a hug? that is undeniably farked up, no matter how innocent it might be.

Sounds like this guy could use the hug patrol.

Probably held up traffic too, as that seems to be the only thing school buses are good for around here.

And yeah... that's really, really weird.

/won't leave the house between 2-4pm because of them... I have never experienced road rage quite like being stuck behind one of those things.

GIS

I wanted to touch them. That's all it was.

I can understand that.

Any word on him "Jerkin' the Gherkin'" immediately afterwards.....?

I wonder if Amanda Wenk was on one of those buses?

Can somebody please tell me if he's a Republican or a Democrat? I need to know if I can condemn him for endangering the children or not.
