Jackson Jambalaya

I have a question. If I remember right there was a single weekend a while back where there were 9 murders in Jackson just during that one weekend. According to the stats on the first update it says homicides for this year is 10. I seem to remember several more murders happening in Jackson not counting that one weekend. Do these other murders not count? Did these other murders not really happen? Were the people really just playing possum when found?
Something does not sound right.

Do you know how to read?

I can read what you posted.
Homicide year to date-2016-10
Isn't that what it says on the crime stats update?
Is that not what it says?

@12:16 - It's dated March 6

The stats end March 6th.
This story was March 9th - http://www.clarionledger.com/story/news/2016/03/08/jackson-has-6th-homicide-4-days/81496132/
My guess is that some of those 6 were included in the stats, but not all as they were after March 6th.

Maybe they had to go that far back so the stats would look better. How about a crime stat that is up to date? All it takes is one button pushed on the computer.

@12:58 - These are periodic reports. I believe every city does them similarly. You probably live in Madison anyway, so why do you care?

Have the recent Madison crime stats come out yet? Grandview Blvd in Madison seems very scary lately. Lot's of robberies and the like. I'm hoping they open a Walmart in Gluckstadt soon, so we don't have to risk shopping in Madison.


Where can we go that is safe?????????????????????????????

Kudos to Vance and Mcgowen for continuing the misclassification and nine reporting of crime, especially in precinct four.

Great job Chief Lee Vance and JPD. No crime, especially murder is acceptable, but they are doing as best as anyone could. Circumstances and lack of resources in these neighborhoods with high crime are too numerous to eliminate quickly. Doesn't help that the court system allows criminals back on the street as repeat offenders.

Realize you're trying to be a little humorous, 1:21, but there was recently an exaggerated and shared Facebook report from a woman about a suspect in Madison. Made it sound like there were many related incidents, but after an investigation by MPD, it was found not to be a lot of drama about nothing.

We all know the Jackson stats are crap. Kingfish knows it too. But he enjoys the 'page hits' he gets when he knowingly posts this crap.

My wonderful friend, who is a principal at a Jackson charter school, was carjacked on McDowell Road Monday night with a gun to her head as they pulled her out of her car. This woman came to Jackson to try to make a difference, teaching in an all AA inner city school. I know her well enough to know she won't quit, but good God, Almighty.

Hinds County judges: this is the crap you reap when you keep "catching and releasing." Upstanding citizens who are trying to improve the muck of Jackson are terrorized. How would you like it if this happened to your wife or daughter?

BTW, when will the killers of Carolyn Temple come to trial?

Can't help but think of the series "The Wire" when these Comstat reports get published.

The crime stats should start out with "Once upon a time".
