Madison ~ Most serious ~ speeding, Highland Colony.

They overlooked the most serious crime: Public Display of a Lighted Peacock Atop An Occupied Place of Residence. Two Counts.

10/11/2011 - 2:53 P.M. - Highway 463 - James W. Bond - Age, 50 - Arrested for No Proof of Liability Insurance and Driving While License Suspended.

We have a star in our midst.

Anyway, one thing that was a bit disturbing was the number of reported credit card fraud, identity theft, car break-ins. I figure it is more a function of the holidays than anything else?

Any idea why Madison is so far behind in posting now? They used to update almost daily, but are over 1 month off.

For one thing, they're on the streets, not at desks tabulating speeding and no-insurance tickets. If you drive down any street in Madison you'll see at least two police cruisers (and maybe a motorcycle cop) within two minutes. I think they call it 'no nonsense saturation'.

In 2006 Madison County had 1882 property crimes, 438 burglaries, 1347 larcenies, 7 car thefts and 193 violent crimes, 4 of which were murders and 117 rapes. Sperling currently gives Madison a 4 which is the national crime average.
I guess if your " city limits" are mostly residential and high end shopping, then you are immune to crime but don't venture up to Canton or down to Ridgeland.
It'd be interesting to see how many criminal cases from within the city limits of Madison were heard in the county court this year. Might ought to see if that dovetails with reporting for the year KF.
Of course, with so little crime, I wonder why Madison hasn't solved the major house burglary where tens of thousands of dollars worth of jewelry and silver were stolen? You'd think they'd have lots of time on their hands to really go after " the big one".
And, then we aren't looking at Rankin either.
Metarie has less crime than the city of New Orleans, Vinings has less crime than the city of Atlanta,Sugarland has less crime than the city of Houston...DUH.

Reciting Madison County figures, with the county's wide divergence of hamlets and broad variations in, ahem, behavioral issues, is sort of like farting in a whirlwind. Better yet, its like suggesting that a fellow with his head in a lit oven and his feet in a pail of icewater is, on average, comfortable.

Nobody here or elsewhere has suggested that a small municipality bordering a high- crime large city, will replicate those figures or would even compare in any way. However, if you (11:26) are about to insinuate (from the mantra-book of Ben Allen) that all areas are equally affected by and subject to crimes of all types, let me be the first to call bullshit on you.

Update: Noon WLBT News. Jackson is recognized as one of America's best 100 communities for young people. What the Fark is wrong with this story?

KaptKangaroo said...

11:26AM Didn't someone earlier discuss the dangers of common household cleansers under your sink?

11:26 is wrong in stating that Madison was given the national crime average of 4. I suspect he meant to say Madison COUNTY.

Shadow, I'm suggesting just the opposite. I'm suggesting the comparison of the cities of Madison and Jackson is BS. And, I'm suggesting, having lived within the city limits of Madison that the crime report is done with the intent of keeping stats low and making the crimes that do occur seem more benign than they are.
I'm suggesting these weekly postings just fuel the " abandon Jackson" crowd and that THAT negative rhetoric is not good for Mississippi.
Some chief executives actually want to live where there is a ballet and a symphony and museums.Some think if you have pride in your State, you'll care about its CAPITOL.
You need to read the research about why we lose out on economic development and see what it is that could be easy fixes.

"...and see what it is that could be easy fixes."

What are the easy fixes?

What ever happened to the Jackson crime report for the week ending 11/20/11? I wanted to see how they categorized the break in of my home.

I heard a rumor that they were categorizing house break-ins as "larceny" if no one was home at the time of the crime. I don't think kicking in the door of my home and snatching the tv from my wall is larceny.

9:29, what evidence can you post to back up your assertion that Madison cooks the crime stats. I know the Ben Allen's of our world like to line up and burp that chant, but, citation please. "Having lived within the city limits" won't suffice.

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.
