Javorous Darnell Tims, 20
PASCAGOULA A woman, awakened by the sound of someone removing the screen from her bedroom window, got out of her bed at 1 a.m. Friday, walked to her sons room and quietly woke him.
She said, Snigg get up, the son said in an interview later Friday morning.
I got up, grabbed my gun and went to the corner there by her room, he said, standing at the door of the apartment, on the bottom floor of the last in a row of Spanish-style buildings in the Granada Apartments on Chicot Road.
It was dark in the apartment, but the window was backlit, Snigg said. He heard the window go up and saw a man coming in.
He stuck his hand under and pulled the blinds back, the blinds and the curtain, he said. And he eased in like he was attempting to come in.
I fired two shots, then he ran off, Snigg said.
Police say they wont identify the woman or her son, who offered the nickname Snigg, for fear of retribution.
Javorous Darnell Tims, 20, ran about 80 feet from the window, fell to the sidewalk and died of a single gunshot wound, police said Friday.
Pascagoula police said Snigg and his mother acted appropriately, taking the actions they felt necessary to protect themselves. However, because a man died, the case will be presented to a grand jury for review.

“........... Well excuse me, but hold on there Bunky!
* The mother should have 1st dialed 9-1-1
* THEN woke up her son.
* Then she should have asked the burglar to stop.
* If he didn’t stop, mom and son should have surrendered
* Then gave ‘Javorous’ anything he wanted, including ice cream and cookies.
* Then let him out the front door so he wouldn’t strain a muscle climbing back out the window
And THEN, when the Cops showed up 15 minutes later they could draw the chalk outlines of the DEAD mom and son as Javorous Darnell Tims prolly would have killed them anyway.............”
That ain’t how we do things down South.
Obviously, he was shot because he was black and they are southern redneck racists—not because he was burglarizing their home. That’s Janeane Garofolo’s explanation and she’s sticking to it.
Reminds me: I need to pop out this morning and pick up 200 more rounds of Speer Gold Dot 115 gr. 9mm Lugar personal defense ammunition while there are still boxes of it to buy.
“....It’s good for the shooter. Grand Jury no bills, and he can’t ever be charged again because of double jeopardy. Police won’t testify against him, the prosecutor won’t push it....”
You are. Grand Juries have families, homes and guns too.
No wonder Hillary wants the vote for felons. Democrats lose so many voters to workplace accidents!
Pascagoula—the true South.
I had a friend from Pass Christian, MS who said that coming from anywhere north of I-10 made you a Yankee, LOL.
Good shooting, Snigg.
That’s what I have in my carry gun, defense hollowpoints. They are also less likely to fully penetrate and hit someone behind the primary target.
I lived in Pass Christian prior to Katrina. I’m in Ocean Springs now, south of I-10.
;-)
We used to live in Slidell when my husband was stationed over at the boat unit at Stennis. One of my brothers now lives in N.O.
Ever eat at Huck Finn’s? They fried everything known to man, LOL. Of course, they like to do that a lot here in Arkansas too. :)
Nope, never eaten at Huck Finn’s. Fried is good, if you use healthy oils. Most folks eat to live, here, we live to eat!
This case will be but one of many cases the Grand Jury will review. We thank the young man for protecting his Momma AND saving taxpayers tens of thousands on a career criminal in his ‘youth’. You did good, young man!

That’s why I asked for your suggestions, to help me decide. I believe selection of the weapon and ammunition is the best way to reduce the threat to bystanders, except to decide when deadly force is necessary and hitting your target. My policy is to call 911 and stay put, unless it is to defend someone. That way you know where the intruder is, they don’t know where you are, and they are likely to get a nasty surprise. My house gun is a 16 gauge deer gun with #3 buck and the nearest house is 500 feet away, through the woods so I have little chance of hitting an innocent party.
I like your tagline.
Always nice when the perp creates a perfect target.
LOL! Dude, you are killing me. Thanks for the Saturday morning laugh! :-)
As usual Travis, you got it all wrong. Javorous was at an Advanced Placement Calculus Study Group. Choir practice wasn't until Saturday. Upset because he had missed his 'cello lesson, he mistook Snigg's place for his own.
He was coming through the window because he didn't want to wake his family. They need their sleep because they are exploited every day by the "Man."
Al Sharpton and I will be down to Mississippi to straighten this all out as soon as we get the Somali Pirate Boy a scholarship to Juilliard.
It's not how I'd do it either.
But you can bet some newspaper will find Javorous's auntie or grandma and we'll hear the same tired old nonsense.
"He was a 'good boy' who 'wouldn't hurt anyone' and never got into any 'real trouble'. He got involved with 'the wrong people' but was 'turning his life around'. He was 'going back to school' and had a job interview 'tomorrow'. There was no reason for this person to shoot my little Javorous, he wouldn't hurt a fly."And if the shooter was white (which may be the case) watch out for the race hustlers to get bus loads of outside agitators for a 'Peace Vigil'. They'll DEMAND an investigation of a Hate Crime and call for an end to all this 'gun violence'. And the Brady Bunch will add Javorous to their stats of 'another youth killed by guns'.
Snigg is better than Seenigg, I guess. The Mississippi cops have a certain sense of humor in giving the kid a pseudonym.
