Bad Stuff Going On Around Here.

[TACC1]

When a part of society is poor and unskilled, and can see no hope
of change, at all, and with no proper family structure to act as a
brake on personal wishes, the "spoiled child" takes what he/she wants
because they know they can't have what they want by the rules of
a civilised society. A "civilised" society is something that cannot be
grasped by people who've never seen one. It's imaginary, like TV.
Until society as a whole decides to weed out the losers, the rest of
us will just have to make it difficult for them to get what they want.

Update: Three n'tarrests were recently made in the gun store murder. Two males were charged with capital murder and one female charged with being an accessory after the fact of capital murder.

Charlie I don't know if your agency was involved in the arrests, but one up for the good guys'.

 

[David LaPell]

I think there's got to be more to it than that. There are regional differences as well as population size differences.

The 2010 FBI Uniform Crime Report published: "Preliminary figures indicate that, as a whole, law enforcement agencies throughout the Nation reported a decrease of 5.5 percent in the number of violent crimes brought to their attention in 2010 when compared to figures reported for 2009. The violent crime category includes murder, forcible rape, robbery, and aggravated assault."

I can tell you that in the last year my jail is more full of our own inmates than of the board ins we have been getting for the last six years. I can tell you what people have actually been arrested for. Alot of burglaries, alot of petit larcenies, and a whole heap of welfare and other frauds. I can remember when it was every two or three years between homicides. Now it is at least two a year. In an area where the population is maybe 25000 people, those are actually pretty big numbers. In Albany, NY they have hit the annual homicide numbers by March. Same with the nearby cities of Schenectady and Troy. While NYC's crime rate went down, the criminals moved outward and upward to the little towns that were not ready for them. A few years ago, gangs were unheard of except maybe Bloods. Now we have Bloods, Crips, Latin Kings, Mexican street gangs, Zeta's, and some others. When they get booked in, they give their place of birth, almost all are from NYC. The big cities have some absolutely wonderful law enforcement, they have tactics and resources our little PD's could only dream of, and that is what these guys count on. Most cops and CO's in the jails have no idea what the ink on their arms mean, and where they have been. Mix those guys in with people out of work (this area is right around a solid 20% unemployed) and it is a perfect scenario for higher crime.

Our problems will never be fixed until we as a nation face up to the facts. Liberals and race baiters such as Jesse Jackson, Sharpton, rev Wright and others will keep the minorities down and poor because that is their power base. Until these people are stopped we are never going to fix the problem because they are the problem.

I remember a day on or about 4 May 1984 we were introduced to our Drill Instructors and one the first things out of his mouth was there are no Blacks, Whites, Browns, Reds etc in the Marine Corps only Green. Some of you may lighter or darker shades of green but it is only Marine Green. I always remembered that and took it to heart.

As Americans there should be no Black, White, Brown etc only Red, White and Blue. If you can't deal with it then move!

Wanna fix the problem?


SOMEBODY GIT A ROPE!......

This makes a hell of lot more sense than the self loathing hand wringing, pretzel-logic social analysis and limpwristed finger pointing bantered about earlier in this thread...

This is not a complex problem.... If lawbreakers are not going to respect the law, they should be made to fear the community that they would prey upon.

Now if the prosecutor can put the case together and they have the right perps let the process begin. Do they have the death penalty in Mississippi?

Thread was violent crime with regional and municipal variances noted. The same reports show increases in other crime types.

Inflation is down too, the gov't said so.

 

[OMCHamlin]

I think our country is in early stages of civil war and, until we abandon this pc bs, things will only get worse.

I could not agree more, this country needs a bath something fierce.....

 

[cowboy117]

I'm thinking of the victims families.Very sad.IMHO,America is lost.Be prepared.

Problem with these stats are that reporting is voluntary from the local agencies. New Orleans Police for instance are notorious for mis classifying crimes they report to make the city seem safer. I can tell you this-over the past 5 years the "quality" of our criminal element has progressivly gotten better. By that I mean that we are getting some REAL thugs. Scary stuff out there and it's getting worse. Total amorality which is the biggest problem. At least immoral pre-supposes that they know what is right and choose not to do it. The amorality we see now is truly disheartning as a whole generation has no idea of the concept of right and wrong. It has truly become a jungle out there and the only thing I see that would stop it is a total abandonment of our rule of law by enforcement agencies ratified by the public. Nobody has the stomach for that......................yet

Well I certainly hope so-they were charged with capital murder

Well - Not nobody

As I mentioned earlier, all of our home invasions have involved at least one perp who was from a larger city where these things are more common. The girl who was arrested as an accessory is from New Orleans. One of the male perps is currently in jail...in New Orleans. There's some other stuff that I can't talk about right now, but when it becomes public knowledge I'll be back. I didn't know the old folks even though I do know their son. The gun store guy, Ed Cameron, has 22 years working with the City Of Hattiesburg (not police) and this store was to be his retirement job in another three years. He opened the store in the evenings and on Saturdays. The previous owner offered my son a very good deal on this store about three years ago and I advised Jr. not to buy it because I was concerned the incoming president at that time was going to mess things up. Good advice, wrong reason...so far.

Today, there is a large part of the population who lives off of society rather than being a part of it and contributing to it. They simply take what they want from others, and that's in addition to the handouts in the form of gov't "aid" many of them are receiving.

Each of us needs to be prepared to meet violent crime with an appropriate response in the form of hot lead. The police overall do a good job but there is no way they can protect us from being a victim of violent crime. Only we can do that.

 

[Sebago Son]

Only we can do that.

AMEN Jessie, Amen....

How about ". . .make it dangerous to get what they want. . ."?

One advantagge of old age is seeing things in a different perspective.I grew up in a small Southern town in the 1930's and 1940's.The depression was still going on and nobody had much money,little or no Government help,(therefore no AC,cell phones and food stamps,cable TV etc.,but thats another story).Until I heard of a black on black Satutday night throat cutting all other knowlege of murder was what I learned in Sunday School with Cain and Able.No doors were ever locked and windows were left open.The first experience I had with stealing was when another kid stole my Pirate cap pistol.He grew up to have trouble in the Navy and later became a lawyer,then disbarred for misusing an old lady's funds.
In a nutshell poverty doesn't breed crime,lack of moral upbringing does.
Every morning in school we had a devotional and scripture,pledge of allegience and were scared to death or respected our teachers.We were blessed not to have TV.The heroes wore white hats.In grammar school if you had frisked us you might find a pocket knife,a couple or so 22 cal. cartridges,a fire cracker or two and some "kitchen" matches.Now you would be kicked out for any of these or the Bible.

Here's a simplistic approach: Quite a while back we as believers were handed 10 basic laws to live by. Over the eons the basic 10 have been stretched, bent, and down right mutilated to suit the Earthly powers that be. The bends, stretchings, and mutilations have not benefited anyone but the very one's that laws had to be enacted for. The time to straighten this out is long gone. Keep your powder dry.

I said I'd be back, so here I am. The info I was sitting on was that the perps in this case were found in possession of items taken from the old couple who were beaten to death. It's public knowledge now and the investigation into their part of the double murder will now proceed. I saw one of them yesterday sitting shackled outside the nurses office in the jail waiting for treatment for whatever. He was wearing a bright yellow jumpsuit indicating he was a very high risk inmate. He looked bored and apathetic. Lot's of stuff went through my mind but I said nothing and walked off.
