Jackson has 13 burglaries in a matter of hours. So much for the warnings of contagion from Jackson crime apologists.

Are you sure that isn't a one date report from Jacktown???

Madison is a great place to live, work, and raise a family. Kudos to the leadership at all levels. As our society continues to coarsen, crime will worsen and extra vigilance will be required. I believe Madison is up to the task!

I think these statistics are made up. The land of milk and honey has zero crime. We live in blissful harmony (particularly in Reunion).

Is this Madison or just the closest thing to Utopia on Earth? It is almost a cheap shot to release this....poor Jackson has to have their crime stats like the stock market, changing in real time. A report would be outdated the moment it was typed up.

Sounds like BS to me said...

Who validates/audits this data? I have heard of several cases in Madison that were re-categorized for more favorable UCR classification (gotta keep that safest ton rating at all costs).

NIBRS provides a more data rich and contextual representation of what's going on in a community.

3 ... 2 ... 1 before someone shows up to claim that Kingfish only published this to inflame the "anti-Jackson contingent".

There are older neighborhoods in Madison that suffer petty thefts regularly.

Just like some girls at Ole Miss are not pretty. Just nobody wants to acknowledge it.

One hypothetical statistic conveniently left off:

Municipal Uncollected Debt increased by 1000%

Looks like the stats from a very slow weekend in Jackson. Or a normal night In Jackson.

Madison, replacing Pearl as the strip mall capital of the south. Y'all just keep telling yourselves that those Corinthian order columns make it less of a strip mall.

One rape and less than ten burglaries, don't be fooled there were several more rapes, and at least 5 times the burglaries reported. If you only could see the juvenile court records you would know this doesn't add up.

Any crime in Madison is just purely impossible, it just cant be. The elected leaders of Madison know best.... I'm so convinced they are "up to the task" its just a wonderful place and everyone is so happy there. Its just like going to Walt Disney World (only with better architectural guidance). I've never seen an ugly girl at Ole Miss, surely they keep those locked in a dungeon somewhere. Like I've always said, Madison ain't Mississippi, people just keep making that handful of land developers and "public servants" richer and richer. You drive out the "back gate" and back there you are, deep in the "Heart of Dixie"......

Don't be fooled. 12:28 PM can't prove anything.

Madison is a great place to live and this crime report proves it to a certain point. Whatever they are doing is working.

Madisonites live quite harmoniously, especially in Reunion.

Back when I last looked at the UCR tables, the most informative table was, I seem to recollect, Table 42, listing crimes by race of victim and perceived race of perpetrator. The numbers were so out of whack that the FBI began in 2006, I think it was, to count hispanics as White when they were perpetrators but black if they were victims.

True story.

Your right 1:09 you can't prove selective prosecutions but don't tell me it doesn't happen. I live in house with teenagers, I here it all.

We have lived in Madison since 1981 and are personally unaware of ANY crime perpetrated in our neighborhoods during the past 37 years. Mayor Hawkins has been our mayor for more than 30 of those years. Obviously, she is doing something right.

IS IT THE TRUTH? said...

I’m not sure if I should laugh or cry.

With these stats, all of California will be moving here soon...

"One rape and less than ten burglaries, don't be fooled there were several more rapes, and at least 5 times the burglaries reported. If you only could see the juvenile court records you would know this doesn't add up."

Where's your evidence. I suspect you're talking out your ass. If you had walkin' around sense you also know one cannot 'see juvenile court records'.

Oh, but wait! Somebody posted he lives in a house with teenagers and 'hears it all', so there's your backup!

When people who live in unruly communities are jealous of the stats in another community, they are at liberty to claim the data are made up and things are terrible everywhere. If that makes them feel better, fine. But, they're still living in an unsafe community. And, there's that.

After just reading this 2017 crime report for the City of Madison I thank God that my zip code is 39110.

I personally wish all metro communities well, but I can’t help but wonder if the same “don’t say bad things about Jackson” people on the Smith Park thread...aren’t the same people who come to this thread and repeatedly bash Reunion pineapples and Niknar.

Anonymous said...

My guess is that a good percentage of the Madisonites on this blog (and there are many) spend a lot of time bashing Jxn and Niknar (as you say). My only problem with Madisonites is their self-infatuation, yet they live in Mississippi (a hell hole of a state). You’d think they were living on 5th Ave in Manhattan with their misplaced arrogance.

One need only to look in the Mayor’s office. On staff is a hire that is the liaison between city hall and MONA. This liaison has boasted that s/he can track any data online or on airways. The police data may be skewed through the manipulation of such data at city hall or perhaps the police are in on it. Either way, homeowners’ associations know the truth. Keep the data numbers low at all cost. Liason’s spouse just sits and views all cameras in and around the city. It’s a farce. Yes it’s arrigance at its best.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug.
