Madison is in a death spiral
"Police speak" really cracks me up.
Wondering how someone in the parking lot would know someone had been injured inside the apartment.
Murder? There's nothing in the posted report to indicate a double murder.
This is why Ridgeland City tried to enforce restrictions on apartments a while back and got beat by every one.
Now I am afraid the crime is spilling over into Ridgeland.
Madison County is so dangerous! Sad!
Hell hath no fury...
When most people say Madison county, we don’t mean Ridgeland. Ridgeland is just Jackson junior. Ridgeland is a dump of a city, and has been for the last fifty years.
I am STILL thankful that I wake up each and every day living in the 39110 zip code.
You people who act like Ridgeland isn't part of Madison County are about as smart as those who call Brandon "the Reservoir." Oh and newsflash, dwellers of identical houses in Madison The City: Canton isn't that far away to your North.
Spin it any way you want, you are sandwiched in between shit. Mayor Mary can't keep you and precious little Billy safe forever. Stop looking at crime near you and saying oh well wasn't in MY city doesn't matter. Everyone in the metro is in this together, like it or not.
Attn 5:20 You are exactly right, Mayor Mary can't keep the people who live in Madison safe forever, but she has done a pretty good job so far. Go ahead and buy you some property in Hinds County and see how that works out. (For some reason I think that is a major problem you are already dealing with.)
Yes 2:32 --- your zip code will protect you from the thugs. Continue to enjoy whatever drugs you take that give you your false sense of security.
Actually it is not my zip code that protects me @7:15 and I do not take drugs either. There is nothing false about feeling safe in a community that functions as it was designed too. Your ignorant attempt to insult me speaks volumes to your lack of character.
Each new commercial rooftop in Madison brings at least 30 cars a day (sometimes 200) bearing license plates from Hinds, Yazoo, Holmes, Leake, Scott, Rankin and Warren. I'm surprised Mary is not operating shuttle buses from each of these counties straight into Madison for shopping and dining...sorta like the nursing homes run buses to Wal Mart on check day.
I'm afraid the party is about over, my friends.
My Glock Model 39110 protects my family.
The only danger here to most of us would have been a stray bullet. This is another example of ignorance in conflict resolution, not danger of homicide to me by a stranger.
To those who have trouble counting with one hand behind your backs......YES, it does matter that Madison County and Rankin County have different (higher) standards of law enforcement than Hinds County. Effective law enforcement and strong criminal court judges send a message LOUD & CLEAR that (a) anyone caught committing a crime WILL be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and (b) you WILL be caught. It might not be a deterrent 100% percent of the time, but it DOES make the Hinds County bottom feeders think carefully before crossing the county line...and MOST of them opt for easier, safer targets. Poor Ridgeland suffers unfairly because the idiots either don't know where the county line IS or they (wrongly) think they are close enough to safety to get away with it.
The party will be over in Madison, soon enough. My husband and I have discussed the reality of needing to leave before it hits the tipping point. I’m counting on another 5 years. 10, at best.
Two childhood friends are dead folks. This was not a burglary, robbery or home invasion. It was two friends who got in an argument which unfortunately left both of them dead. This has little to do with whether or not the City of Ridgeland is a dangerous place to live nor is it an indication of whether or not the city is on a downward spiral. It was the first murder of the year committed by two people who knew each other. Nothing to be afraid of people. Instead of judging each other and where we live, let us instead pray for the families who lost their sons.
Two childhood friends are dead folks. This was not a random act of burglary, home invasion or robbery. With this being the case, I don’t think it is even relevant to judge one another as to where a person lives. This is the first murder suicide in the City of Ridgeland for the year 2018. These two men were childhood friends who knew each other and something went terribly wrong. Instead of one upping each other as to where city lines are, we should instead be praying for the families of those two dead boys.
