4ever you now have your topic. Go for it.

This isn't a Milwaukee story, but interesting. Last weekend squads from all 5 precincts responded to a shots fired call which was on the block our office is on. 130 casings were found within 2 blocks. We found over 30 on our property, and our building was grazed. The neighbor biz across the street has security video of shooters on our sidewalk and people laying on the ground to avoid gunfire. Amazingly, no one was hit (or reported an injury).
The ATF is parking a squad in our parking lot this weekend to deter more activity. They must suspect something is up for this weekend.

I heard explosions in Kyiv are on the rise. Oops, wrong topic.

Safety Update: Credit card skimmer recovered near campus
The Marquette University Police Department has recovered a credit card skimming device from the 7-Eleven convenience store located at 17th St. and West Wells St. The device is believed to have been in place for approximately six weeks. If you have made a purchase at the store in the last six weeks and swiped your credit or debit card, MUPD encourages you to monitor your account closely and change your PIN.
Only card swipe transactions may have been affected and not tap transactions.
MUPD offers the following safety tips to safeguard your credit card and personal information from being stolen by skimming machines:
Make purchases with chip-enabled cards.
Pay with cash instead of plastic.
Use an online or mobile payment service such as Apple Pay, Google Pay or PayPal.
Set up alerts to monitor activity on your credit and debit cards.
Regularly review your credit and debit card statements to check for suspicious transactions.
Pick gas pumps in well-lit areas within the line of sight of store employees. Scammers tend to install credit card skimming devices at pumps that are hard to see.
Avoid ATMs in out-of-the-way locations.
Go to another ATM or gas pump when you suspect the presence of a credit card skimmer.
If you observe any suspicious behavior or fear for your safety at any time, contact MUPD at (414) 288-1911 or through the mobile blue light feature on the Eagle Eye app.

Thanks for the update, Doc.

Just don't pay and it's a non-issue, hey?

“Pay with cash instead of plastic”
Pre-pandemic I always made small purchases with cash ( not things like gas though). But then places actively wanted you to use plastic so I switched…🤷♀️

I am very happy the cameras and MU police are there to keep the campus safe. Yet another time MU is highlighted on local news for crime "near" campus. Armed robbery and shooting are no big deal, I had a homeless person bother me on campus back in the early 80's.

I got robbed at gunpoint in Wauwatosa 15 years ago. Bad things happened more than the past 5 years. And more than just in Milwaukee.

So your contention, is that 4ever is doing a valuable service by posting to the 10s of people that will see it here, rather think folks should follow the official "wires" that Marquette recommends. Gotcha. Keep spreading the fear boys! And maybe 4ever should since up for a twitter account so that he can beat MUPD to the punch. That would show them!

I am simply saying Doc is not following or monitoring any MU crime sites and you implied he was. I was commenting on your post, not if any service was being provided with updates on a site with 20 regular followers, on a busy day.

Yes, I saw your links and your commentary. I am not on any Marquette security links because I am not a student, parent of a student or employed by MU.

I was certainly outing doc on the part where I said: " I suspect the only poster that wants to post the information here, already follows those sources, and has an agenda". How could I be dishonest about that. It's the truth, and I typed it!
If that was your bone to pick, you could have been more of a "straight shooter" about it. Don't be so obtuse.
The rest of my post, about how to follow the alerts was not a dig at doc, but rather trying to help others get the information directly in case folks were interested and didn't want to follow every one of 4ever's post on scoop.
This is simple. I actually don't give a rats ass about the crime in Milwaukee. I'm usually at least a 1000 miles away. But for those that do, and don't have an agenda, I wanted to make sure they knew where to get the info. Apparently you're not in that camp, and that's your choice.

I think only spiral97 here is "in my posse". Hung out with him last weekend - but he's a 50% owner in the site. Clearly your understanding of the "scoop world" is misinformed.
I've PM'd you, but I don't have to answer to you. There's a team of 4 here that have to deal with all the crap you guys throw out there. We'd prefer you didn't. Really, and we try to stay impartial - unlike you. I called out 4ever for being a bad Marquette fan - and he was being a bad fan! I didn't ban him. I'm a huge MU fan too - there's no way I'd keep this place going otherwise. 4ever couldn't even root for his own team to win under the current coach. You take exception to that because of his history. But my facts don't care about your opinion.
-
rocky
I say it all the time, I seldom post on non “ball” threads and do it on purpose. I am 95% here to talk “ball” and love a place to discuss MU basketball. I will say I think your bias is real, but such is life. Appreciate the site and Arby’s!!

Well then, I'm glad you took all this time in this thread to explain that to me. It's quite an honor. I generally just ignore people I think are idiots, so that's very generous of you.
Seriously, appreciate you calling me out specifically, then admitting you don't care about campus crime, and then asking me to be honest with about 4ever, and foolishly questioning those who had been banned (the facts prove you wrong), and then telling me I'm biased (aren't all humans?), and then telling me my only value is banning people (?).
It's really refreshing to get that sort of twisted logic feedback from a guy like you.

FYI
I am concerned about campus safety and have stated that numerous times. I also think you make biased decisions on here and also think you bring little value comments to the site. I have no problem with you sending me a PM and calling me a jackoff and you should accept similar criticism in a public thread.
For the record, I do not think you are a jackoff or an idiot, maybe a non contributor to a site you 50% own, but not a jackoff.

I wonder why you seem to think there is some sort of 'posse' that is a foil to your 'posse'. I assure you, we bicker with each other just as often as we do with you and your 'posse'.
But we do it here. We don't have an underboard. We don't carry water for each other.
Can you admit that 4ever says some stupid stuff around these parts? I have my doubts. I don't hesitate to disagree with anyone as long as I think I can back up my argument. Your 'posse' seems to have a strange sense of loyalty to one another's terrible ideas and are willing to ride a sinking ship to the bottom of the Atlantic. I will never understand this mindset.

My only issue, from the start, was Rocky was implying that 4ever was stalking MU police outlets and thought he was being clever. His implication is wrong and I wanted him to admit that.
As for my posse, of your posse, I normally speak for myself and I do not always agree with my crew, or them with me. That said, I will provide unsolicited support if I feel that personal jabs cross over the line.

Actually, you weren't, Goose.
Doc Dribble was going on and on about this in threads before the one you posted, such as the Catholic Knights building thread from more than a month earlier.
He has continued to do so, both in threads he started on the subject and in random threads on this board, the Covid board and even several basketball threads. It has passed "Crean sucks" as his favorite area of discourse.
It seems very important to him that he push the fear narrative as often as possible, making the Marquette area out to be some kind of war zone.
Of course, you and I know that it's simply a city campus, subject to the same things that happen in cities with other college campuses from NY to LA to Miami to Houston to Chicago to Seattle to everywhere in between. Heck, two cops recently were killed at little Bridgewater College in Virginia. It sucks that there's violence anywhere, let alone near college campuses. Pretending that Marquette is somehow more of a dystopian hellscape than others is neither useful nor intellectually honest.

So the same people who are providing us this great service of alerting us of all the crime in Milwaukee and around MU are the ones who don’t want common sense gun laws. Even though these crimes are largely carried out with firearms. And they also don’t want to release inmates for non violent, petty drug offenses, so our prisons are overflowing. But their solution is to incarcerate more people.
What’s the solution?
Can’t touch the fifth amendment, so bad people will continue to do bad things with these weapons. Can’t create space in prisons because marijuana is scary. But need to lock up all these criminals.
What do we do?

Of course there are bad people in the world. But the correlation between stronger gun laws and homicide rates is a strong one in the “western world.” Spare me your crying about victims when there is a proven way to actually make less people victims.

Bad people do bad things, but it matters quite a bit if that bad person does bad things with a steak knife instead a TEC 9.

This isn't an answer. We all live in communities of largely law-abiding citizens, including communities ravaged by gun violence.
But that's never stopped a guy who learned his wife was leaving him from shooting her dead before killing himself. Or a mentally ill teenager from getting a hold of a gun and shooting someone who bullied him. Or someone gets deep into drugs and decides they need to rob the 7-11 to pay for their habit and, whoops, the clerk got shot.

It is the best answer I have on why we do not have firearm murders in my burg. 100 plus years is a long time to simply have good luck, but you may be right. Also, we agree that almost every community is filled with law abiding folks.

I grew up in a literal Burg with less than 5,000 people, in one of the most conservative counties in the country.
There has been 4 gun-related deaths since 2000, the year I entered high school. Two accidental, two murders.
Guess those four people just didn’t have the same luck.

The Marquette MI police log is pretty amusing, and indicative of the stupid stuff police have to deal with regularly:

≤ 2:22 p.m., caller reported two subjects were drowning, upon arrival officers could see two subjects in the water with diving suits going on the ice and back in water, no one in distress, 1000 block South Lake Street
≤ 5:20 a.m., report of loud music, not loud, tenant advised of complaint and warned, 500 block Union Street
≤ 7:09 a.m., open door to business found by citizen, employees were on scene, all OK, 100 block West Washington Street

I support trans people's rights to do whatever they want. I have several coworkers with kids (one in childhood, one in adulthood) that transitioned. Do what makes you feel happy or good. There is no denying that trans people have a lot of depression issues and other mental health issue (before and after making the change.)
That said the Lia Thomas case is a joke and an insult to women's sports. The dude competed on the mens team for 3 years, then took a redshirt year to start the process, then finished his last year of eligibility on the woman's team.
This isn't someone that used puberty blockers or other hormone treatments. This is a grown ass man that took a year to go from a men's swimmer to a women's swimmer. He already had man's frame, musculature, and testosterone. I get that his testosterone dropped during the red shirt year. But the dude was already a grown dude. And dudes are faster swimmers than women, especially at age 24. Qualfiying times for boys are faster than girls even at the 9-10 year old level, much less competing in college. That's a fact.
This is the equivalent of Greg Elliot taking a year off and playing for the MU women's team. (Yes, Elliot RS his 2nd year with hand surgery. He'd have to apply for a waiver to play as Gregette. I think, eligibility and class is whacked with the free Covid year)

Safety Update: March 28, 2022
Earlier this morning, Marquette University Police Department officers on patrol encountered an 18-year-old, non-Marquette-affiliated suspect attempting to break into a vehicle. The suspect fled on foot and the officers pursued. Near 18th Street and W. Highland Avenue, the suspect drew his gun and discharged it, striking himself in the leg. No MUPD weapons were discharged. The suspect was transported to the hospital with a non-life-threatening injury. The suspect’s weapon was recovered at the scene, and the Milwaukee Police Department will conduct a full investigation. Marquette University is grateful for the responsiveness and professionalism displayed by our MUPD officers.

No, dumbass. I referenced my coworkers because I've had long talks with them about their kids and the difficulties they experienced. Both about their kids and as parents. It's called empathy. The conversations also changed my mind about transsexuals.

Office of the President | Marquette University
Dear Marquette community,
Like you, I have been shaken by the crimes committed on and near our campus during the past weeks. Several involved our students, and we are providing wraparound support services to help them heal from their trauma and offering our prayers and support for all victims of senseless crimes across our city and country. At the same time, we are committed to taking swift action to help prevent future incidents.
As a father and as a university president, I want to assure you that I am taking this matter extremely seriously. There is no greater priority than the safety of our campus community. The President’s Task Force on Community Safety – which includes students, parents, community members, faculty and staff – meets this afternoon and will provide actionable, near-term recommendations that Marquette University will implement to improve safety and security on our campus. We will accelerate implementation of recommendations in key areas such as institutional safety and resources to effect immediate change. More will be shared about these near-term actions in the coming days. If you have questions about the Safety Task Force or want to share an idea, please contact us.
Crime is a complicated issue with many underlying causes and few easy solutions. The university will continue to work closely with local law enforcement and city leaders for the betterment of our campus community, our neighborhood and our city.
I want to close by expressing my support and gratitude for our Marquette University Police Department and the responsiveness and care they display for our campus community every day. At a time when police departments across the country are short-staffed, we see you, we appreciate you and we thank you for your public service.
Best,
Dr. Michael R. Lovell

I also know of a family that has a transitioning child (teenager) and understand some of the difficulties they are experiencing in this process. To be honest, I never gave the topic a great deal of thought prior to learning of my friend's situation, and I try to give to my support whenever I can. Unlike others, I respect your post and thanks for sharing it.

This isn't someone that used puberty blockers or other hormone treatments. This is a grown ass man that took a year to go from a men's swimmer to a women's swimmer
There's an entirely fair and reasonable debate to be had about when and under what circumstances a trans athlete should be able to compete in his or her (and let's face it, we're only talking about her) chosen gender group.
But having that discussion requires an honest recitation of the facts. And you've failed at that here.
Contrary to what you claim here, Lia Thomas began hormone treatment in 2019. She had been undergoing that treatment for more than two years before ever competing in a women's race.
Contrary to what you claim here, she didn't take "a redshirt year to start the process." The process was already ongoing when she swam for the men's team in 2019-2020. And she didn't swim in 2020-21 because the season was canceled due to COVID, not because of some "redshirt year" for the process.
Contrary to what you claim here, Lia Thomas is not a "grown ass man." She lost significant muscle mass as a result of the hormone treatment and is literally shorter today than she was two years ago, which is reflected in her times being significantly slower than two years ago.
And, while you claim it only indirectly here, Lia Thomas ain't winning because her former physique makes her unfairly dominant. In reality, she's winning because the fields she's competing against are unusually weak. She's one of the slowest NCAA champions in recent memory.
Newsweek analysed the last 10 seasons' fastest times in the women's 500-yard freestyle, as well as the fastest times in the NCAA championship women's 500-yard freestyle for the last decade, using data from SwimCloud.
The data suggests that while Thomas was the fastest swimmer in that category this season, she actually would have been the fastest swimmer in only one of the last 10 seasons. In most of those previous years, her fastest time would only have got her to second at the most, and in one year she would have come as low as 12th.
https://www.newsweek.com/lia-thomas-winning-not-swimming-that-fast-data-transgender-1691874
In the preliminaries for the 200 freestyle, Thomas finished second. In the final for the 200 freestyle, Thomas placed fifth with a time of 1:43.50. In the preliminaries for the 100 freestyle, Thomas finished tenth. In the finals for the 100 freestyle, Thomas placed eighth out of eight competitors in 48.18 seconds, finishing last.
https://www.outsports.com/2022/3/17/22982977/lia-thomas-iszac-henig-transgender-swimmer-ncaa-championships-penn
In reality, scientists have come up with standards by which trans athletes can compete at a fair level. I'm far from an expert, but I suggest that's where the debate should focus. But it's hard to have a legitimate discussion of what's fair with people who can't get their facts straight.

I'm actually pretty sure it is a combination of both crime being up recently but also the nature of how we communicate these days. I doubt Marquette would have even thought about sending an actual letter to my parents about crime when I was on campus regardless of how much crime there was.

If your son transitions should they be allowed to compete?
I do applaud your support for trans people, even if it is currently somewhat lukewarm. I'll take the baby steps seven days a week and twice on Sunday.

Clarity. Her Wikipedia page uses she/her while discussing his time on the men's team. That's confusing for some. Similar to the ESPN article about the non-binary WNBA player that used all 3 pronouns interchangeably. It made no sense.

Okay let me help. The proper way to provide that clarity is to just use she/her. She is currently a she. Even is she was previously a he, you just use the current pronouns, even when discussing past performance. Even if your intent is clarity, the impact you are having is insult.
You are also assuming that she wasn't a she before. Her sex was male, she may have been presenting as male but she may have considered herself female at the time.

My cricket's comment was more in seeing responses directly related to the letter. I think we all have an idea what caused the letter to be written and agree that in 1983 Fr. Raynor probably would not have been sending out a letter on campus crime.

I do believe the letter is worthy of an intelligent conversation.

And dismissive ones (It’s an urban campus, urban areas always have crime problems). Nobody here (other than the President of the university and 4ever) has seemed concern at all.

I said “recent” increase. As in over the course of the semester or year. Crime has been a factor at Marquette through much of its history and I don’t believe what the University is facing now is significantly different that what it faced when I was in school. But 4ever acts like it’s massively unprecedented somehow.

I consider the use of guns in a crime as a significant threat to human life. If you've noticed, these crimes are being committed during daylight hours. How bold is that? Clearly those intent on robbery and/or bodily harm have no respect for human life. Should any of you, who continue to be in denial or want to minimize the significance of these events, were to be victimized, I'm certain you'd brown out your tidy whitey Jockeys quicker than cockroaches running in the kitchen when the lights are turned on.
The University is not located in Marquette, MI or De Pere. When significant bodily injury or worse is a result of these crimes, MU will be in big trouble. At a time when private schools are in competition for tuition dollars, can Marquette be any more than an "also ran," hey?

One solution the AD is working on is having teams live together in dorms. They are working with ORL on this. The thinking is student athletes have too much exposure/risk in today's Milwaukee walking to early morning practices or back to their housing late in the evening after returning from a late game or a road trip. Housing teams together affords greater opportunity to walk in groups, and less risk.
Apparently this move has some "gray" to it as far as compliance goes, but the vibe put out is that is worth it compared to the perceived risk.

Again, this is not unprecedented in Marquette's history, but yes it is a troubling trend that has gotten worse lately not just in Milwaukee, but many other cities.

MU should work with/put pressure on local and state government with the goal of improving economic conditions for all, thus likely decreasing crime

There's a decent interactive tool on the Milwaukee PD website that allows you to check crime by neighborhood. Unfortunately, the data they provide only goes back to 2020 (or at least I haven't found older data yet), but it does offer some factual basis for whether things are indeed descending into chaos, as some here suggest, or not.
Here's what the numbers show for the combined Marquette and Avenues West neighborhoods.
Murder:
2020 - 1
2021 - 2
Rape:
2020 - 8
2021 - 7
Robbery:
2020 - 33
2021 - 28
Aggravated assault:
2020 - 94
2021 - 81
Burglary:
2020 - 48
2021 - 17
Theft/Larceny:
2020 - 90
2021 - 83
Motor vehicle theft:
2020 - 65
2021 - 118
Arson:
2020 - 2
2021 - 4
So, according to the Milwaukee Police Department, anyhow, rather than worsening, the frequency of serious crime around campus actually has fallen. In fact, outside a big spike in car thefts - not exactly the kind of "blood on the streets" stuff we've been told about here - crime in the area was down quite a bit.
Which isn't to say the area is Gooseville, but it never has been Gooseville.
To be fair, the data does show a small increase in YTD crime from 2021 to 2022, but it's not statistically significant (11 total offenses from eight categories). We can keep an eye out throughout the year.
Still, I'd love to see pre-2020 and historical data for the neighborhoods. If anyone knows where I can find it, please let me know.

Pakuni has offered factual evidence that violent crime in the area actually decreased from 2020 to 2021. Do you have evidence showing otherwise?

I have repeatedly said that crime is always an issue on city campuses, including Marquette's, and I'm glad MU is working to keep it from getting worse on our campus.
Or we can post every incident on a basketball fan board, no matter how small the incidents may be, and claim that Marquette is a war zone - even though statistical evidence seems to show that's not true.
Again, I'm glad we have this thread so hopefully the postings are contained to it.

I just love that the people who are screaming that we need to be concerned about this can't come up with any solution for it, and when things are offered (common sense gun laws?) they say, "No! Second Amendment! Guns don't kill people, people kill people! Why can't you admit there are bad people in the world and that guns can't 'cap' themselves?! Gun laws don't work!" Despite the statistics showing very much the contrary.
So what is the solution? Just keep posting Tweets about crime?
There's a common theme to just about all of these. Firearms are used. Maybe...
Nevermind. Second Amendment.

What are the numbers compared to kidney and liver transplants? Capital punishment? Let’s include those who mysteriously go “missing”. How about Russia’s “food poisonings”. Bad skin rashes, loss of hearing. Might as well ask about the human rights(wrongs) starting with the Uyghurs- how many million imprisoned?
I’m going to venture to say the reasons Russia and China don’t have as many in prison is because they don’t make it to prison cuz it’s hard to live without kidneys and other vital organs

So your take is that China has harvested the organs of at least 400,000 prisoners leading to their deaths? Even if true, like fluff said, I would hope the land of the free could aspire to better than "tied with China for most incarcerated people" (especially given the population disparity).
My take is that we've already tried incarcerating as many people as we can and it hasn't worked. Rather than wait for a crime to occur, I think we should try understanding why crime occurs and try to address it before the crime occurs.
Which of course leads us back to the question, what do you think drives bad people to be bad people? If we don't understand that, we'll never make any progress

Safety Update: Suspect in custody from credit card skimming incident
Marquette University Police Department officers have taken into custody a suspect in the reported credit card skimming incident at a retail location near campus, which was shared with the Marquette community via the below update on March 25. Charges are pending.
Marquette University is grateful for the responsiveness and professionalism displayed by our MUPD officers.
Shared March 25, 2022: Credit card skimmer recovered near campus
The Marquette University Police Department has recovered a credit card skimming device from the 7-Eleven convenience store located at 17th St. and West Wells St. The device is believed to have been in place for approximately six weeks. If you have made a purchase at the store in the last six weeks and swiped your credit or debit card, MUPD encourages you to monitor your account closely and change your PIN.

We did incarcerate too many people but at least the decent people were safe. Now everyone is in danger from the predators released hours after crimes to repeat. Perhaps we should begin to teach the role of consequences for bad acts and help people acquire basic reading and math skills so they can function in society.

let me get this straight-"we did incarcerate TOO MANY PEOPLE, but at least decent people were safe"
so which way do you want it? keep decent people safe? or stop incarcerating people? or just incarcerate a few people? how about if we start with incarcerating people who cannot behave in society? people who are dangerous to decent people. if that means building more prisons..build them.
this guy was just let out of prison...early...despite many saying he has a disregard for life and will probably kill someone...well, they got it partly right...he killed 6 people

The problem is rocket we are incarcerating too many people who don't pose much of a safety risk to society OR who haven't been convicted for anything.
Here is a breakdown:
https://www.prisonpolicy.org/reports/pie2022.html
If we kept the truly violent people in prisons, but found ways to rehabilitate those who aren't really much of a safety risk, we would be much better off as a society. Just locking people up because they break laws, without determining societal harm, is wasteful and inhumane.
-
Look, y'all are thinkin' too hard.
Build more prisons, pay $100/hr or more to staff them (because there's already a serious shortage of prison workers), and lock up all the people roQQet thinks are bad.
Rehabilitation? Ain't no rehabilitation allowed. Throw away the key.
Problem solved, society saved!

We've been through this already. You're wrong.
"We found four states, as well as nine cities and counties, where there is existing data on public safety from before and after the adoption of pretrial reforms. All but one of these jurisdictions saw decreases or negligible increases in crime after implementing reforms. The one exception is New York State, where the reform law existed for just a few months before it was largely rolled back."

TAMU just this morning on network news crime in NYC up 44%
Same type of data has been reported for many cities. Sacramento shooter was early release despite DA saying he was capable of more violence once released. I agree with you that SOME people were locked up unfairly but the pendulum has swung to an extreme and law abiding citizens are being preyed upon.

seems like the people in charge don't know the difference between who is a risk to society and who isn't. reading your prison policy article, it begins with having too many "criminal systems". too many chefs stirring the soup. centralize the criminal justice system. come up with a grading system for each person. i'm hoping we have some experts doing this. juveniles are not committing juvenile crimes.
anyone who is deemed to be able to live in our society and follow the laws, gets out of prison/jail-
remain alcohol and drug free
finish some level of education and become gainfully employed
NOT BREAK LAWS
break these laws, go back to end of line and back into prison
have levels of security depending on the crime and/or evaluation formed by committee
hold judges, police and parole boards accountable for who they release. if they release someone who commits any crime that involves great bodily harm(rape, murder, physical injury) they serve some sort of punishment to be determined.
trying to determine WHY people commit crimes is so multifaceted, you would be setting up a system that will fail-bad families, alcohol/drug abuse, education, upbringing, mental health...some of these things are not curable. bottom line is whatever we are doing today is not working. recidivism is a big reason, but you say we have too many in prison? either we have the wrong people in prison or we don't have enough people in prison because crime is out of control in many areas. juvenile crime is way up. childrens behavior in schools is abhorrent with teachers feeling helpless. if bad behavior is not punished, you WILL get more of
it.
if the crime is not addressed, it will be deemed acceptable and it is not.

We've been through this already. You're wrong.
"We found four states, as well as nine cities and counties, where there is existing data on public safety from before and after the adoption of pretrial reforms. All but one of these jurisdictions saw decreases or negligible increases in crime after implementing reforms. The one exception is New York State, where the reform law existed for just a few months before it was largely rolled back."

TAMU just this morning on network news crime in NYC up 44%
Same type of data has been reported for many cities. Sacramento shooter was early release despite DA saying he was capable of more violence once released. I agree with you that SOME people were locked up unfairly but the pendulum has swung to an extreme and law abiding citizens are being preyed upon.
What does "crime up 44%" mean? Up 44% from when? What is crime defined as? That's a wonderful catch phrase that I'm sure some talking head somewhere said but it doesn't really tell me anything.
-
bottom line is whatever we are doing today is not working.
I'm so glad you agree! Cause what we are doing now is locking up people at a higher rate than any other developed country in the world. So we should stop doing that and try something else. Unless your position is that every other developed country has worse crime than we do in which case, why are we complaining?
either we have the wrong people in prison or we don't have enough people in prison because crime is out of control in many areas.
Is it possible that our high rate of incarceration contributes to the current level of crime? I think it is likely.
If bad behavior is not punished, you WILL get more of
it.
if the crime is not addressed, it will be deemed acceptable and it is not.
So is negative reinforcement the only way to address crime? My personal experience is that threatening people into making good choices rarely works and rewarding people for making good choices is usually a lot more effective.

Well if we got rid of all laws, crime would be at 0%
Serious question though, what would be an acceptable number/% of people committing crimes while on pre-trial release?

I don't think there is such a thing ... and I find your question to be as serious as "When did you stop beating your wife, lawdog77?"

Why is it not a serious question? Your linked article touts this stat:
New York, for example:
Public safety: The city’s new criminal activity rate, which measures the rate at which people commit new crimes while awaiting trial, is 10%. This puts it on par with Washington, D.C. which is often used as a model of pretrial reform success.
My question, is that an acceptable rate ?

It's a cheap, transparent rhetorical trick trying to get me to say I'm OK with a certain level of crime. And actually irrelevant to the discussion, as I have seen no evidence to show that people out on cash bail are less likely to reoffend than those out on recognizance or some other form of pretrial release.
Now, please, answer my question ... are you opposed to pretrial release?

If you remove the ellipse, I will.
No, I'm not. I was just simply asking the question to the group. Is there an acceptable amount ? For example if people out on bail for certain crimes had a very low % of skipping trial and low % of committing additional crimes,(say under 1%), have those crimes be ROR.

"Is it possible that our high rate of incarceration contributes to the current level of crime? I think it is likely."
i disagree. i don't believe you can conflate the 2 here.
"So is negative reinforcement the only way to address crime? My personal experience is that threatening people into making good choices rarely works and rewarding people for making good choices is usually a lot more effective."
not the only way, but rewarding "is USUALLY a lot more effective"??
ok, some dude commits a crime so he can be rewarded for NOT doing it again?? to pay people NOT to do something that is wrong? hey, i didn't steal something today...pay me. i haven't raped anyone recently-better pay up or i might just have to lose all self control??
maybe in SOME cases, rewarding can be effective, but sounds like you do not like the idea of imprisonment. what do we do about those who make our society unsafe? don't we deserve to live safe without worry that our cars won't be taken from us? our women will not be raped? our children will not be abused?
i think we have instituted programs where prisoners of certain crimes can "earn" their way out by following certain set standards
we have f'd up our society to the point where crime has run rampant without regard for human life and property.

seems like the people in charge don't know the difference between who is a risk to society and who isn't. reading your prison policy article, it begins with having too many "criminal systems". too many chefs stirring the soup. centralize the criminal justice system. come up with a grading system for each person. i'm hoping we have some experts doing this. juveniles are not committing juvenile crimes.
anyone who is deemed to be able to live in our society and follow the laws, gets out of prison/jail-
remain alcohol and drug free
finish some level of education and become gainfully employed
NOT BREAK LAWS
break these laws, go back to end of line and back into prison
have levels of security depending on the crime and/or evaluation formed by committee
hold judges, police and parole boards accountable for who they release. if they release someone who commits any crime that involves great bodily harm(rape, murder, physical injury) they serve some sort of punishment to be determined.
You say some good things here, but a few thoughts...
**If alcohol and legal drugs weren't part of their problem, why should they be forced to abstain now?
**Being gainfully employed is good, but may not be possible. The full safety net should be available to them like any other citizen.
**Any law? Or just a repeat of the past offense or something similar.
And you will ALWAYS have people let out of jail who commit felonious acts. It is simply unavoidable. So punishing those who let them out, but didn't have anything to do with them committing the acts, makes no sense.

"Is it possible that our high rate of incarceration contributes to the current level of crime? I think it is likely."
i disagree. i don't believe you can conflate the 2 here.
Interesting. You don't think that when someone is incarcerated it impacts the financial security of their families? Or their own financial security when they get out? My guess is that there is a correlation between those who are financially insecure and those who commit crimes.
"So is negative reinforcement the only way to address crime? My personal experience is that threatening people into making good choices rarely works and rewarding people for making good choices is usually a lot more effective."
not the only way, but rewarding "is USUALLY a lot more effective"??

Do you really think that's what I was suggesting? Did I say anything about rewarding criminals? What if we made other paths to financial security more viable and rewarding so that people don't turn to crime in the first place?
maybe in SOME cases, rewarding can be effective, but sounds like you do not like the idea of imprisonment. what do we do about those who make our society unsafe? don't we deserve to live safe without worry that our cars won't be taken from us? our women will not be raped? our children will not be abused?

I'm not against imprisonment for violent offenders. You rape someone, you abuse a child, or you use weapon to steal car, you should go to prison. But we have hundreds of thousands of non-violent offenders in prison in this country. Those are the ones that I question prison being the right intervention for. I also think a system that focuses entirely on tertiary prevention (responding to crime after it has already happened) is doomed to fail. There needs to be at least equal focus (I would argue a greater focus) on primary and secondary prevention.

'

What do you mean by "deserve?" Deserve implies that it living in a crime free society is a reward of some sort.
It would be wonderful if cars weren't taken from us, women not be raped and children will not be abused, and we should strive to have that happen. But I don't understand how we "deserve" those outcomes.

The irony is that some here would rather spend $30K-$40K a year to keep someone in prison, but are outraged over spending a fraction of that on programs that are proven to reduce crime, i.e. early education, juvenile intervention, child care, etc.
-
if there were programs that were efficient and worked nobody would object but they seem ineffective and
money holes . Meanwhile crime is rampant and serial offenders are apprehended and released. A neighbor just had the catalytic convertor stolen despite a lock. Second loss this year for them. i see where there are daily violent attacks in NYC, dozens of car break-ins in SF for example. This is not the definition of a civilized society. I'm just hoping to see the reintroduction of Common Sense. Plenty of room for compassionate treatment under the law but civil society exists for the protection and betterment of the law abiding

Ding, ding ding, we have a winner. 9 to 1 payback. Not that complex. But we are Americans, if it takes years to see the positive effects we won’t do it. If it means spending up front, people will complain (fee would see it as an investment with great returns). Really too bad.
Also, for lower income kids, they’d see a 13 point IQ increase on average. I’m told it can be the difference between graduating high school or college for a lot of financially disadvantaged kids. Makes too much sense.

I literally just listed three types of programs that are proven to reduce crime.
In the meantime, there may be no government money holes this side of the defense budget larger than the prison system.
Meanwhile crime is rampant and serial offenders are apprehended and released.
Crimes per 100,000 in the U.S.
1965 = 2,449.0
1970 = 3,984.5
1975 = 5,298.5
1980 = 5,950.0
1985 = 5,207.1
1990 = 5,820.3
1995 = 5,274.9
2000 = 4,124.8
2005 = 3,900.5
2010 = 3,350.4
2015 = 2,885.1
2020 = 2,346.0
Can we stop with the silly, and easily proved false, claims that crime is suddenly "rampant" and "out of control." Crime rates are at their lowest levels since the mid 1960s, and half what they were through the 80s and 90s.
Yes, crime has ticked up slightly over the past few years (hint: pandemic), but we're still significantly safer than we've been at any time in the past 50 years.

Criminals assault you and put you in the hospital, maybe knock a few teeth out?…medical and dental insurance.

hey!! a voice of reason is a breath of fresh air in this world they have you believe our air is dirty and our water unclean, but i digress...perception is reality and i don't give a rats posterior what the numbers say, violent crime is up. in certain areas of milwaukee, stop signs have become very optional with no regard for speed limits or pedestrians and, other vehicles. anyone have the numbers on that one? car jackings have skyrocketed (for one instance)and they have become increasingly more violent if one tries to defend their own property. the "young-ens" recruited to carry out said acts have no fear of retribution nor incarceration.
so by jes-mans reasoning, we should just write checks out and/or buy cars for any of those wandering around with nothing else to do? pay them for not carrying a piece? what next? pay them for going to school?
what price can you put on NOT having anyone get raped, killed, having our car stolen?? how much would you pay not to have to go thru a day of any type of violent crime upon you or someone you know?
and yes clareeza, we do "deserve" to live safely

Glad to know perception is reality. My perception is that violent crime is significantly down from past generations and has leveled after a small spike during the pandemic. So by your logic, that's the reality!

So in one sentence, you criticize someone for wanting to spend money on crime prevention...but the next you say that you can't put a price on preventing crime. Which is it?
You seem to be resistant to the idea that crime can be prevented. Your only solutions involve waiting for a crime to be committed. You don't see a problem there?

Perception is reality only because in the past, certain areas had the lion’s share of the more serious crime. Now it’s moved into areas where people didn’t see it before. So they think it’s increased because to their perception, it has. I’ve seen this exact discussion in neighborhood online groups.
I go to my neighborhood beat meetings, so I see the actual numbers.

From The Hill:Chicago’s 797 homicides in 2021 are the highest in 25 years.
From Fox: At least 16 major US cities set homicide records in 2021.
Lots more information available for anyone interested enough to do a simple Google search.
Just a small pandemic blip.

I've done the google searches Lenny, I just read more than the headlines and actually look at the data that their reporting on. Yes, several cities have set all time highs in TOTAL homicides. But not homicide rates (maybe some cities have, I'm not personally aware of them). Take Austin, Texas for example. The population of the Austin Metro area in 1984 was 444,800. There were 59 murders that year (previous record) for a rate of 1 murder per 7,539 people. In 2021 the population of Austin was 2,117,000 so with 88 murders that makes a murder rate of 1 murder per 24,057 people, over 3x less.
News outlets are very good at finding scary/exciting/sexy sounding numbers and trumpeting them out. You have to take the extra step of actually understanding what the numbers mean.
Don't get me wrong, homicide rates raising at all is a problematic trend and one we should work to reverse. But catastrophizing it while simultaneously falsely praising the safety of the good old days is not helpful and can be quite problematic and toxic.

C’mon, TAMU - you’re cherry picking with one (Austin) extremely fast growing city. How many others mentioned fit that profile? Chicago isn’t growing but homicides are through the roof. The same is true with many other US cities. Bottom line? You made assumptions that fit what I’m sure is a preferred narrative. They don’t square with the data.
You say from “what I’ve seen, there was a SMALL BLIP during the pandemic that is already reverting to the mean”. Where did you see this? What’s your source?

No Lenny, I'm really not. I'm being honest and analyzing the data that you presented. You are the one who cherry picked a scary sounding headline that matched your narrative. I picked Austin because one of the articles you mentioned linked to another article focused on the homicide record in Austin. To show I'm telling the truth, I'll do the same exercise with the city you picked out, Chicago.
First, 2021 wasn't a record for total homicides in Chicago, that belongs to 1970, so unless Chicago shrunk (it didn't) it's already going to be a lower homicide rate.
1970: 974 murders for 7,106,000 people = 1 murder for every 7,295 people
2021: 797 murders for 8,877,000 people = 1 murder for every 11,138 people
And again, this isn't to minimize what's happening in Chicago and other cities. Any rise in homicide rate is bad and we should be working to reverse that trend. But the narrative that cities today are a war zone and cities back in the good old days were sunshine and rainbows doesn't help the discussion and in many cases derails it and gets in the way of actual progress.
Honestly, your response is a microcosm of how problematically dualistic our society has become. I presented you with data and rather than analyzing it and countering it with data of your own or a logical argument, you just assumed that I was pulling a fast one and accused me of fudging the numbers. We don't care about the truth anymore, we just care about our political team being correct. No one said it better than Rocket "I don't care what the numbers say, perception is reality". The statement is just profoundly sad

LOL. First, I never said Chicago set a record for homicides. I said if had more murders committed than anytime in the last 25 years. Which is true. And that other cities set records. Which they did.
You still haven’t addressed your initial response: “From what I’ve seen there was a small blip during the pandemic which was now reverting to the mean”. Which is false. I ask you where you’ve seen/read such nonsense and you avoid the subject - because nobody on any side of the political spectrum has data that would support it. Rather than seeing it, I’d bet you’ve heard it. In the echo chamber where you live.

Well first, you misquoted me. I said seems to be regressing not is regressing. It's early in 2022, in some cites like NYC and philly, murders are down. In some like Chicago they are on pace. In some like Houston they are up. We will see what the final result will be. Things could ramp up significantly and I could end up being very wrong.
I didn't say that you said that Chicago set a record. But I did make a point that despite higher total homicides in many cities in 2021, the homicide rate was still significantly lower than it was in the 70s and 80s and you responded by saying I was cherry picking and said what about Chicago? So I used Chicago to show that homicide rates are still lower than the 70s and 80s.
And for third time, that doesn't mean that the recent rise in homicides isn't a problem, we should be addressing it.
Do you have any thoughts on solutions?

There's no nationwide data on 2022 homicides that I can find (it's early April, after all), but there is data from several major cities.
Let's take a look at YTD homicides last year vs this year:
Chicago (as of April 1)
2021: 137
2022: 133
https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/breaking/ct-chicago-homicides-data-tracker-htmlstory.htm
New York (through April 3):
2021: 105
2022: 96
https://www1.nyc.gov/assets/nypd/downloads/pdf/crime_statistics/cs-en-us-city.pdf
Los Angeles (through April 2:
2021: 95
2022: 85
https://lapdonlinestrgeacc.blob.core.usgovcloudapi.net/lapdonlinemedia/2022/04/cityprof.pdf
Washington, DC (through April 8):
2021: 48
2022:45
https://mpdc.dc.gov/page/district-crime-data-glance
Baltimore:
2021: 73
2022: 78
https://data.baltimorecity.gov/documents/police-department-baltimore-maryland-incident-report-4-5-2022/explore
Dallas (through April 7):
2021: 54
2022: 51
Milwaukee (through today, it seems):
2021: 38
2022: 55
https://city.milwaukee.gov/police/Information-Services/Crime-Maps-and-Statistics
Miami (through April 3)
2021:32
2022:15
https://www.miamidade.gov/police/library/part-1-crimes-ytd-comparison.pdf
Atlanta (through April 2)
2021: 30
2022: 43
https://www.atlantapd.org/home/showpublisheddocument/4738
Minneapolis (through April 8)
2021: 40
2022: 40
So, it seems based on the data, homicides have dipped in most major Metro areas here, though it's generally a mixed bag. Mostly, Milwaukee and Atlanta are ruining it for the rest of us.
Note: I either couldn't find or there were no YTD stats for Houston, Detroit, Boston, Phoenx and Philly (the Philly site was down), so if you can find those, great.

"Is it possible that our high rate of incarceration contributes to the current level of crime? I think it is likely."
i disagree. i don't believe you can conflate the 2 here.
"So is negative reinforcement the only way to address crime? My personal experience is that threatening people into making good choices rarely works and rewarding people for making good choices is usually a lot more effective."
not the only way, but rewarding "is USUALLY a lot more effective"??
ok, some dude commits a crime so he can be rewarded for NOT doing it again?? to pay people NOT to do something that is wrong? hey, i didn't steal something today...pay me. i haven't raped anyone recently-better pay up or i might just have to lose all self control??
maybe in SOME cases, rewarding can be effective, but sounds like you do not like the idea of imprisonment. what do we do about those who make our society unsafe? don't we deserve to live safe without worry that our cars won't be taken from us? our women will not be raped? our children will not be abused?
i think we have instituted programs where prisoners of certain crimes can "earn" their way out by following certain set standards
we have f'd up our society to the point where crime has run rampant without regard for human life and property.
roQQet, you must be outraged that the former president issued pardons for criminals like Manafort, Stone, Flynn and Bannon, and that he already has said that if he's elected again he'll pardon the violent, seditionist felons who played a major role in injuring cops and attacking democracy during the deadly coup attempt against the U.S. government.

Pak,
Thank you for the 2022 numbers for some of our major cities. Of the 10 you quote, 6 down, 3 up and 1 flat. Total # of homicides dropped from 652 to 641, a drop of less than 1.7% - sadly more or a rounding error than an indication of a regression to the mean. Hope that changes.

And yet combimed with the overall crime rayes, t's more evidence that we experienced a pandemic blip that any sort of societal/cultural shift, no?
There's also lots of data showing that a good portion of the increase in homicides is a result of domestic violence, further supporting the idea that it's pandemic-related and not the kind of scaremongering some are trying to suggest.

I believe your stats on MKE are inaccurate, you used 2020 number of 38 vs 2021 number of 30 murders YTD. MKE is up 83% in murders in 2022. It might just be me, but I find that troubling.

You're right.
It should be 30 to 55, not 38 to 55. I misread the column.
Doesn't change anything, though, right? Homicides do seem to be trending down in most places. Milwaukee, along with a few others (Atlanta, among them) seem to be exceptions.
Interesting story here on the reasons behind the surge in homicide in Milwaukee, for those who want to learn something.

https://urbanmilwaukee.com/2022/03/24/whats-driving-milwaukees-homicide-rate/
That's an interesting, sobering, in-depth look at what's been going on in Milwaukee.
While they are still gathering data and trying to analyze it, the number of murders and violent gun crimes have tracked along similar lines to Wisconsin laws that have made it easier to get guns. There also are a variety of other societal issues at work.
As an adjunct, I just took a quick look at Marquette's enrollment over the last decade or so.
Even though, as the article states, murders and other violent and/or gun crime increased substantially in Milwaukee in 2015, the data would suggest there was no material affect on Marquette enrollment in the years that followed. It was essentially flat over the next few years before hitting an all-time high of 11,819 in 2019-20; the pandemic arrived late in that school year.
So far, at least, increased crime does not seem to have affected Marquette enrollment. If things get worse, it obviously could. But crime happens in big cities -- a fact that parents are well aware of when they agree to send their kids to NYU, Georgetown, USC, UCLA, Arizona State, U of Chicago, Boston College, Washington, Temple, Miami, Minnesota, Marquette, etc, etc, etc.
This is not saying "crime is OK" or "increased crime doesn't matter." We all wish there were no crime.
-
Can’t believe I’m adding to this thread, but I just got an email from my son’s high school that shots were fired from a vehicle traveling eastbound on Wisconsin. It won’t make me question sending them to Marquette High School, but I will remind them to be on their game at night (anytime really) going to their car or the local grade school for service.

You can be all you want on your game, but bullets don't give no chit, aina?

So we need billions more bullets and millions more guns. Because America will not be safe until every man, woman and child has a couple dozen guns, nu?
Imagine how safe that’d make Marquette’s campus!
-
How safe would campus be if only criminals had guns? Its time logic and not emotion was added to the discussion. Millions of people legally and lawfully own guns and daily do not commit crimes. look at statistics for murders with knives, baseball bats, hammers etc. there are violent humans and laws do not deter them.

Wells,
Could you point out the last time you saw a news report about a child killed while walking down the street by a stray knife intended for someone else? Or a senior citizen beaten to death in his or her home by an errant baseball bat?
Or maybe the last time a child got a hold of his dad's tool box and accidentally hammered himself to death?
Portraying guns as "just another weapon" like a knife or baseball bat is criminally stupid.
And yeah, let's look at the statistics.
In 2020, 13,663 Americans were murdered with a firearm. All other causes combined - knives, blunt objects, arson, poisoning, beating, etc. - totaled 4,150.

-pre-UberX in Chicago and the height cabs still trying to fight credit card usage at any turn.
-plenty of dive bars and other late night haunts were cash only. Or cover at smaller music venues
-doormen, cleaning services, and delivery guys didn't all have a Square reader or Venmo.
But a 26 year old going to an ATM then was classic boomer behavior, LOLZ. I call complete and utter BS that many people have been completely cashless for a decade plus in this country.

So we need billions more bullets and millions more guns. Because America will not be safe until every man, woman and child has a couple dozen guns, nu?
Imagine how safe that’d make Marquette’s campus!
You don’t have the stomach for what it would really take to effectively stop or at least radically reduce gun violence in the USA. Maybe nobody does. Maybe the cost would be too high. But as long as that is true the rest of this stuff is mostly noise. Collateral damage or not, the law abiding gun owners aren’t giving up their weapons as long as the bad guys have theirs.

Police said sidewalks surrounding the building would be shut down and officers would assist in directing traffic.

MUPD investigating racist poster displayed on public light pole
Marquette University is aware that a racist poster was found displayed on a public light pole on campus along Wisconsin Ave., and it has been removed. As a Catholic, Jesuit institution, we are called to build a nurturing, inclusive community where all people feel safe, supported, welcomed and celebrated. Racism and discrimination have no place on our campus.
The Marquette University Police Department has launched an investigation to determine the parties responsible. Although this poster was found on our campus, at this time we do not know who is responsible for posting it. Please contact MUPD at 414-288-6800 if you have information about this incident.

UPDATE: MUPD investigation of stickers on public light poles
Yesterday evening, MUPD removed a second 4x6-inch sticker with a different image from a public light pole on Wisconsin Avenue near Johnston Hall. The second sticker – which also appears to be a historical drawing and may be related to the first sticker – depicts a Caucasian female in a medieval device meant to prevent speech. Without a suspect at this time, the university cannot speculate on the meaning or intent behind the images, or if the person responsible is a member of the Marquette community. MUPD has inspected all campus light poles and no other stickers have been found. Officers will continue to search for a suspect and monitor for suspicious behavior. Please contact MUPD at 414-288-6800 if you have any information.

keep us posted, Doc.

For anyone who is too dim to get it — they were stickers highlighting the current political movements to silence blacks and women, like in the colonial era. Called “metaphor,” if you skipped your Lit pre-reqs. Keep us posted.

with all due respect, implying that *only* locking one's car (which likely has a factory installed alarm/anti-theft device) is the equivalent to leaving a laptop unaccompanied in a public place is the classic "blame the victim." This isn't leaving valuables visible and then complaining about getting broken into. Besides, it isn't like "the Club" is 100% effective. In fact, thieves laugh at them.

I don't think Chick was implying anything of the sort. She was saying that many at that age don't even secure their laptops when in a public place (a lower level of property protection) so expecting them to buy clubs for their cars (a higher level of property protection) isn't prudent. I don't think she was implying anything about it being the victim's fault.
That being said, you are right about clubs not being an effective deterrent.

I have a Hyundai Elantra and parked on the street downtown prior to hearing about all the vehicle thefts. Luckily, I have a push to start, but that didn't stop the guy from smashing my window and trying to steal it. Wish he would have glanced inside first to save us both some trouble.

My old roommate in Chicago had his car broken into. What, I assume, they thought was a wallet on the passenger seat was an old book of CDs. The irony is they used a Callaway driver to smash in the window and it broke and they left it in the car. The driver was worth 5x more than anything they would have stole from the inside and 20x more expensive than the lone charger they stole. They didn't even attempt to steal the car itself.

i've got an idea...how about we make stealing cars a crime and put those who partake in such activity in jail/prison. maybe even add carjacking to that list. rather than walking these punks thru the police station out the back door. throw them in jail with a real bond until their hearing then throw em in prison for 5-10 real years. i don't care how old they are
once word goes around, they'll have to find a new hobby...maybe even go to school or a real job

From what I've read/seen, push to start doesn't matter at all. You may still want additional security.
RE: Clubs. They certainly can be defeated, as can most "security devices". But they are effective at not making your ride the easiest to steal vs. the others.

I read those. They hired "professional" car thieves to learn their tricks.
The "Kia Boys" miscreants are not pros, they are opportunistic joy-riding kids (who should be locked up.)
At worst, a Club is going to have half+ of cars skipped, and the remainder is going to take an extra few minutes to cut thru, *IF* these a-holes remembered to change the blades on their hacksaw.

From the NYT:
Crime, murder and mass shootings have dominated headlines this year. Just over the weekend, a shooting in Cincinnati wounded nine people, and another in Detroit killed one and wounded four.
But the full crime data tells a different story. Nationwide, shootings are down 4 percent this year compared to the same time last year. In big cities, murders are down 3 percent. If the decrease in murders continues for the rest of 2022, it will be the first year since 2018 in which they fell in the U.S.

We all did. And we all wanted him caught and held accountable.
That's the difference between us. Some want all held accountable regardless of political affiliation, some only want the other team held accountable.

With Allendale Township only being a ferry ride away from Milwaukee, Marquette’s enrollment is doomed to go even lower now.

I know exactly where that is. Those apartment complexes were where all the craziest (by GVSU standards) parties happened. True story, I once helped with the aftermath of a botched amateur exorcism that took place there.
Texted a few people who still work there. Definitely a lot of shock

It is the polar opposite of the MU campus in so many ways. But still has the same issues.

I went to undergrad in Oxford, OH. As stereotypical of a beautiful lush college campus/ small college town as you could be. Middle of nowhere, an hour to any meaningful metro. I regularly left the doors of our house unlocked when we'd go out or to class. The kind of place you could stumble home cross eyed and not worry about anything (provided you stayed away from the train tracks.
Yet, my sophomore year one of the stud WRs got stabbed at an off campus party. A year or two after I graduated, someone was arrested at one of the campus bars for brandishing a gun during a fight and a year later a shot was fired at an off campus house.
Its still as safe as you can get and I wouldn't amend any of the statements about what I felt doing as an undergrad, but like you said, it really happens everywhere and anywhere.

Been through there. Yup.

Indeed, Doc, the disregard for law and order sure is sorry. Especially when the disregarders claim to be all about law and order.

My daughter is enthralled by the Dahmer series. We walked around MU during her campus visit phase in and 11-12. She remembered some of what I had told her about living near Dahmer and the Ambassador hotel. I spent about 20 minutes last night on the phone with her describing the area circa 1987.
I say for the nth time, this crap ain't new.

My senior year apartment was in the 900 block of N. 15th St. waaay back in '69-'70.
I remember walking by a guy on Wells who the cops were questioning and hearing one of the cops tell the guy he was arresting him for murder, so crime around MU is not something new. From the reports, it sure sounds like it is a lot more common than I remember.

Yes, terrible.
Sadly, tragedies like these happen all too often on or near campuses everywhere.
Here's hoping our own Shoc Doc doesn't ever need to post another Marquette Crime Report, regardless of how minor, but that's not realistic.
But definitely, here's hoping he never has to post one as horrific as these at the idyllic university settings of UVa and Idaho.

My time at MU on campus in the 1980s saw my battery get stolen from my car before interior hood release latches and a purse snatcher that grab and elderly woman's purse on about 12 St and Wells.

I was in Charlottesville today for a doctor's appointment. The doors were locked and a note on the door instructed you to call their desk to be let in. The campus area was in lockdown. Students told to shelter in place and many businesses near the campus were closed.
The shooter was caught about 80 miles East of C'ville at 11:00 AM. One of the 2 wounded is in critical condition, the other is in good condition. The shooter was waiting as a busload of students were returning from a trip to DC. As awful as it was, it could have been much, much worse. The shooter could have killed many more as they stepped off the bus.

Honestly, the fact that you could park anywhere near the now Fiserv and have peace of mind about your car is progress.

When we were season ticket holders (09-19) we parked north of McKinley for every game and never gave it a second thought. The only problem we ever had was that several of the businesses around there don't always shovel their sidewalks.

Yea, that was a very different area by then. Adding the new onramp there in the early 2000s started it. Then, once MATC took over the old JS printing building, like I said, and they put in a few new parking lots and street lights, it brightened up.

Listen, I grew up in Mequon. 4 different kids I was actually friends with, not just associates, died of heroin overdoses before 23, each death occurring in Mequon. There was a double homicide a quarter mile from my parents house about 10 years ago and someone was stabbed to death at a party in Mequon in October. It’s basically the south side of Chicago at this point.

all of these heroin/fentanyl overdose/deaths are really sad and need to be addressed like yesterday. there is approximately 1 death/overdose every 5 minutes...EVERY 5 MINUTES!!! translation, if there was a death due to bad big macs every 5 minutes would something be done? the acknowledgment and/or action on this epidemic is being largely ignored. so what the heck, let's legalize 'shrooms, they're naturally occurring anyway
but the border is secure eyn'a?

all of these heroin/fentanyl overdose/deaths are really sad and need to be addressed like yesterday. there is approximately 1 death/overdose every 5 minutes...EVERY 5 MINUTES!!! translation, if there was a death due to bad big macs every 5 minutes would something be done? the acknowledgment and/or action on this epidemic is being largely ignored. so what the heck, let's legalize 'shrooms, they're naturally occurring anyway
but the border is secure eyn'a?

Right. And someone dies from heart disease in this country every 50 seconds or so.
And excuse me for not taking someone seriously who spent a couple years here discounting the impact of Covid.

Well, you hung out with the wrong crowd. The kids I know are largely successful and some of the best snd brightest you'll run across anywhere.
Btw, reread my response to Ma. Your logic and reading comprehension drew the wrong conclusion, hey?
1) it was a joke that bad things happen in many places.
2) F off with that nonsense. That wasn’t even a dig on my hometown. Oh and of those 4? An honors student less than 12 months out of UW; a D1 golfer at a WCC school who got addicted to pain meds after shoulder surgery; a consultant with a degree from one of the very good private schools, and a soon to be college junior at IU.
So yea, real terrible group of dregs and burnouts. And that stabbing was a 50 year old guy at a house party

exactly, and he has nothing intelligent to say regarding the issue so he tries to be class clown about it. no surprise. i fail to understand how drug overdoses can become such a controversial topic. one would think you could get a consensus it's all bad, but nope. reeko thinks it's all fun and games. i just hope you never have to bury someone close to you due to any form of drug addiction or accidental overdose and i honestly mean that. then it might not be so funny

If we closed the border, there’d be no drugs in Mequon but Marquette would still have no endowment.

From the NYT's "The Morning" newsletter:
At the start of this year, America’s crime trends looked grim: Murders had spiked at a record speed in 2020 and increased further in 2021.
But now that the year is ending, it’s clear that the violence has eased.
Murders in large U.S. cities are down more than 5 percent so far in 2022 compared to the same time last year, according to the research firm AH Datalytics. Gun deaths, injuries and mass shootings are also down this year.
What happened? To regular readers of this newsletter, the explanations may be familiar: The causes of the murder spike have receded.
Covid disrupted much of life in 2020 and 2021, including social services that help keep people safe. That applies not just to policing, but also to places like schools and addiction treatment facilities that can help people — especially young men, the more common perpetrators and victims of violent crime — stay out of trouble. As life slowly returns to normal, these programs have reopened and helped suppress murders and shootings. ...
The drop in murders is genuinely good news — the kind that often goes unreported. Think about how many headlines you have seen about the rise in murders compared to stories about the subsequent decline.
That gap demonstrates another point that regular readers of this newsletter will be familiar with: The news media tends to have a bad news bias. Some of that is driven by journalists’ decisions, hence the old cliché that if it bleeds, it leads. Studies also suggest that negativity gets a bigger audience, so journalists are, to some extent, giving readers what they want.
That bias warps people’s perceptions of the world. As rates of murders and other crimes plummeted from the 1990s to mid-2010s, news outlets regularly covered shocking individual crimes, and a majority of Americans told Gallup that crime was trending upward. (Most Americans still say crime is up.)
There are still reasons for caution. Data from this year suggested other kinds of crime, besides murders and shootings, might have increased in 2022. Murders are still higher than they were in 2019. And it’s possible the trends reported in large cities don’t apply to the entire country (although they have in recent years).
But the data we do have suggests the country’s murder and shooting rates are heading in the right direction. As the year comes to a close, it’s good news you can celebrate. ...
Also, Congress’s latest spending bill increased funding for local police.

Where do you think the fentanyl comes from?
Currently, China remains the primary source of fentanyl and fentanyl-related substances trafficked through
international mail and express consignment operations environment, as well as the main source for all
fentanyl-related substances trafficked into the United States. Seizures of fentanyl sourced from China
average less than one kilogram in weight, and often test above 90 percent concentration of pure fentanyl.

My family has buried a number of alcoholics. Maybe we should build a wall around both coasts and use Jewish space lasers to shoot down planes from Scotland, Ireland, Germany and other alcohol producing countries.
This latest scoop kerfuffle began with a non-sequitur from our resident Tuckerologist. It ain’t the border causing drug problems in this country but the simpleminded always need a boogeyman.

The vast, vast majority of fentanyl brought into the US from Mexico- like 90 percent - is done so by people entering the country legally. And the vast, vast majority of people convicted of trafficking fentanyl into the US - like 86 percent- are American citizens.
But sure, build a wall. It'll be as effective as the War on Drugs.

The most terrifying thing about the Biden presidency is that there were hardly more than 5-10 overdoses a year before he took office. Now you might just get fentanyl in your toothpaste or can of Diet Coke.

Me too. What a contrast to the long string of press secretaries over recent years who are nothing more than suck up, kneejerk apologists for their presidents.

Ya'll aint being fair. The press secretary is only as good as the Administration wants her to be. Send her out with nothing and she says nothing.
Bring her into the inner circle, allow her to help formulate the message and guess what, you have a competent press secretary.
My guess is she's given little each day and tells even less.

no chit hey...if i were a regular resident in any of the (fill in the blank) cities where this has been a much to common issue, i'd really be pissed off. it happens at michigan state and holy hell, press conferences, people crying, etc etc when this same thing and worse probably happened last night in memphis for example, it barely makes the news anymore.
one big set of info that needs to come out is who this evil person who committed those shootings in east lansing is, and any criminal history and how it has been handled. hopefully we can get some transparency for a change on this as that is where a big part of the solution(s) can be found
hey doc, isn't your son a student near east lansing? hope he's ok

It's working. Your reports have helped parents realize that the only college-campus crime in the United States takes place between 11th and 18th and between Clybourn and State. That's why Marquette's enrollment is down to zero.
Also, it's let parents know that their kids need Glocks and ARs on them at all times. Because the only way everybody on campus will be safe is if they're all packin'.

My son and I fortunately came away unscathed from an attempted carjacking yesterday near Fiserv before the game. I left the car to feed the meter (taking the key fob with me), and he jumped in the driver's seat. I heard the door slam, and within seconds, I was opening the passenger door to confront him. He tried taking a couple swings at me to back me off, while I was yelling that there was a 5-year old in the backseat. He literally stopped what he was doing (which was trying to figure out how to start the car and put it in drive), turned around to look at my son, then jumped out into the getaway car that was waiting right next to my vehicle. This happened on MLK between Juneau and Highland, just south of Carson's and just north of Third Street Tavern around 4:45pm. I don't have much info to give the police other than the car they used was a black SUV. I know it's a long shot, but this is a very busy area with foot and street traffic. If anyone happened to see this and could provide any further info, please let me know. Thanks MU fam!

Sorry you had to go through that, SoJ.
Good thing that was nowhere near campus at least.

Mine was uneventful. I had just left Goolsby's to go to the arena during that time frame. Pleasant stay at Hyatt Place. Walked from there to campus during the afternoon, wandered campus. Bought swag, carried it back downtown.
I feel bad for Spirit of James.

Thank you sir. It hits hard seeing some POS trying to drive away in your car with your kid in it. It’s also an internal struggle to ignore every natural instinct that you have, not knowing what these mf’ers could be carrying in their pockets. I’ve watched enough of the news to know that we are lucky it did not end worse than it did.

Psyched to go to my first game this season.

Thanks for your interest in my itinerary.

The Two-Decade Red State Murder Problem
https://www.thirdway.org/report/the-two-decade-red-state-murder-problem
"The murder rate in the 25 states that voted for Donald Trump has exceeded the murder rate in the 25 states that voted for Joe Biden in every year from 2000 to 2020.
Altogether, the per capita Red State murder rate was 23% higher than the Blue State murder rate when all 21 years were combined."
Do red states report higher rates of violent crime than blue states?
https://gigafact.org/fact-briefs/do-red-states-rank-higher-in-violent-crime-rates-than-blue-states

The Two-Decade Red State Murder Problem
https://www.thirdway.org/report/the-two-decade-red-state-murder-problem
"The murder rate in the 25 states that voted for Donald Trump has exceeded the murder rate in the 25 states that voted for Joe Biden in every year from 2000 to 2020.
Altogether, the per capita Red State murder rate was 23% higher than the Blue State murder rate when all 21 years were combined."
Do red states report higher rates of violent crime than blue states?
https://gigafact.org/fact-briefs/do-red-states-rank-higher-in-violent-crime-rates-than-blue-states
"According to 2019 FBI data, seven out of ten states with the highest per-capita rates of violent crime voted Republican in the 2020 election. In contrast, seven out of ten states with the lowest rates voted Democrat."
I guess your heroic voting is contributing to this.
nice try smith, but as most reasonable people know your three way (whoever they are??) reference is so far off it's hardly a challenge to rebut. if you guys want to tout a civilized society given some of the people running the show, gascon(los angeles), krasner(philly), fox(chicago), gardner(st louis), chisholm(milwaukee) etc etc and now illinois signed into law something called the "safe t act?? is anything but safe
" Cordero: Heritage recently released a new report, a rebuttal to the Third Way's report that shows that Democrat policies in Democrat led cities and counties are responsible for rising crime rates in these red states. In fact, in the 30 American cities with the highest murder rates, 27 have Democratic mayors."
you can read (i think) the whole conversation here-
https://www.heritage.org/crime-and-justice/heritage-explains/the-blue-city-murder-problem
if you don't think the defund the police, no bail crap isn't having an affect on crime...?? and those are definitely not policies endorsed by red state officials. crime doesn't typically go state by state as much as it goes city by city or county by county. texas for example is a red state, but most of the larger municipalities are run by lefties such as yourself. austin, texas for example is a chit show of crime. it sure in the hell ain't run by red state people

My son and I fortunately came away unscathed from an attempted carjacking yesterday near Fiserv before the game. I left the car to feed the meter (taking the key fob with me), and he jumped in the driver's seat. I heard the door slam, and within seconds, I was opening the passenger door to confront him. He tried taking a couple swings at me to back me off, while I was yelling that there was a 5-year old in the backseat. He literally stopped what he was doing (which was trying to figure out how to start the car and put it in drive), turned around to look at my son, then jumped out into the getaway car that was waiting right next to my vehicle. This happened on MLK between Juneau and Highland, just south of Carson's and just north of Third Street Tavern around 4:45pm. I don't have much info to give the police other than the car they used was a black SUV. I know it's a long shot, but this is a very busy area with foot and street traffic. If anyone happened to see this and could provide any further info, please let me know. Thanks MU fam!
The fact this happened in broad daylight , in a busy area is outrageous. Thank God, You and Your son escaped unharmed.
Hopefully you gave a good description of these individuals to the police.
As more of these crimes happens, it becomes harder and harder to turn the city around. Before you know it Milwaukee will become another St. Louis or Detroit.

Glad to hear you and your son are ok!
After the game on Wednesday I returned to my truck with a window smashed and someone had clearly rummaged through my glove compartment, my guess is they were searching for money or a concealed carry. Thankfully nothing was taken but having to get a window replaced sure is annoying, along with the eerie feeling of someone invading your property.
Parked in the lot across from Bombers too, wild how this is happening in such populated areas now. About 10 other cars in the same lot were broken into as well.

“Who in their right mind thought it was a good idea to have a bunch of teenagers head to downtown Milwaukee‚ with all the reckless driving‚ all the crime‚ blocks away from where there was just a shootout that caught innocent bystanders in the crossfire less than a week prior,” Clark’s letter to the school administration said.
We've got 3 kids. I don't think two weeks go by that we as a family are not downtown for dinner, a Fiserv event, shopping or just exploring. It just saddens me that people believe the hype and avoid all that living in Metro Milwaukee has to offer.

Who knew crime was new to downtown Milwaukee since the pandemic hit?

My favorite part is them bitching about the parking.

I just hope those people never let their kids near Nashville, Uvalde, Parkland, Newtown, Charleston, Buffalo, Las Vegas, etc etc etc etc etc.
Keep 'em in a bubble, because shootings never happen in a small town like Bowdoin, Maine.

A cursory google search tells me that Nik Clark is a crazy person who is obsessed with guns and perpetually afraid for his life. He's the President of Wisconsincarry.org, and on the website posted a few rants, here is an example:
11/10/2020
Fascistbook Strikes Again!
Without warning or reason given, Facebook (which is now colloquially known as Fascistbook) has deleted the account of Wisconsin Carry, Inc. President and Chairman Nik Clark. This pattern of egregious censorship by "Big Tech" is troubling. Facebook needs to face anti-trust action from the US Dept of Justice for the monopoly it has become. Some even suggest R.I.C.O. statutes might be more appropriate. Media and press may contact the Wisconsin Carry, Inc. President at nik@wisconsincarry.org
He's been on TV and public radio a few times and has his own podcast. So you can probably surmise his true intentions.

I dove into the Waukesha Freeman facebook comments and boy oh boy.
One woman..."unles they take the freeway they will be driving through reall bad areas, like REALLY BAD"
You know what Google suggest for avoid freeways:
Moorland north to Bluemound
Bluemound east until it becomes Wisconsin Ave
Wisconsin Ave east to MPL
The only possible "bad area" on that route is where my son goes to HS every single day. These people kill me.

maybe the news should just stop with all the stuff about carjacking and shootings because all it's doing is creating delusional people who don't know squat about cities. focus news reports on the people who don't get their cars strong armed from them. more people can go downtown without hardly hearing a gun shot. if they do, it's far enough away not to mess up a nice prom dress.
obviously some eager "journalist" wanted to report on how some people view milwaukee whether you like it or not. and karen sure did find some.
ya know how you avoid being that potential "being in the wrong place at the wrong time person"? as a parent, it's ok to be concerned. actually, it's refreshing to hear that we still have some parents concerned about the activities of their kids

That wrong place wrong time is something that really resonates with me bc our son is a freshman Marquette High. He spends every single day at 34th and Michigan. About a month ago he and his carpool were hit at 30th in Michigan when car going 50 MPH flew through a stop sign. It should’ve T-boned my son. Instead the kid driving was able to swerve enough that it ended up just being a sideswipe. My son went from probably two broken legs (at best) to being able to walk away. Needless to say, I understand reckless driving in the city of Milwaukee.
Beyond going to school at 34th & Michigan is he runs cross country and he ran all winter which means every day he leaves from 35th and Wisconsin and runs to the Domes or to the Hank Aaron Trail or to Doyne & Jacobus Parks through Miller Valley. The route to all those places ain’t pretty and he does this every single day, and he always tells me it's the best part of his day, he loves to explore all parts of the city.
When I think back about the accident, here’s what I think about:
- He learned that the kid who was driving his carpool had his head on a swivel and was able to make an instant reaction because he was paying attention. That’s an invaluable lesson to a kid about to get his temps.
- He learned how to call the cops and wait for their arrival to give a police report
- And he learned that at 30th and Michigan that when 3 Whitefish Bay kids crash their Volkswagen that people from a neighborhood completely different from theirs still come running outside to make sure they’re OK and offer support / help. He learned about how there’s compassion from groups all across the city. I hate saying he goes to school in a bad area...he goes to school in a poor area.
So in someways I don’t see that accident as a con. I will see it as a pro.
He learned a lot that day and it really, really, REALLY bothers me that there are people outside of the city who don’t want to come in because of a few hiccups.
IMO, it’s disgraceful and it goes against everyting Christ taught us.
Additionally (bc this is long enough) I own a company at 14th & St Paul. 26 employees who love coming to work and our building is a huge part of our morale (free parking). I work out at the Rec Plex (across the street from MPL) daily, I eat / shop on MU's campus on a daily basis. It sickens me that people delight in the 1% of problems and not revel in the 99% of good. I am there EVERY SINGLE DAY. I see it all. If you have a problem, the problem is you.
Back to "wrong place, wrong time" I’m so happy that my son is exposed to real life on a daily basis, and I hope that these other New Berlin West kids will evetually be too.
Peace.

good story lens and thanks for sharing. i am happy for all of you who came out of that situation as you did which could have ended in many different ways. i believe God has a plan for all of us and "things" do happen for a reason. if you don't look for the "reasons" well, the learning point is lost.
i don't see many reveling nor taking joy in the plights of some, but would rather see an improvement/elimination of or action against the sources of the bad behaviors. the running of stop lights or ignoring our laws in general followed by the lack of enforcement has lead to an unnecessary continuation of said behaviors. if we fail to punish bad behavior, expect more of it.
we are hearing of way way too many DA's NOT enforcing even some of our most basic crimes. case in point-alvin bragg will not prosecute certain crimes such as theft in order to establish racial equity.
i didn't think that was part of his oath, rather i thought it was to preserve and protect the rule of the law NOT to redefine or make up his own.
in any event, some people are genuinely afraid, just as some are afraid of lightning strikes. once we start to see real efforts to IMPROVE, not perfect our systems of law and order, some people will remain afraid.
i love milwaukee as well. i have had probably a few more instances than i would have preferred of potentially bad situations that could have gone much worse as well. it hasn't kept me from continuing to visit milwaukee, but i probably do not visit as much as i used to. i find myself avoiding a few more areas than i used to and i am a conceal and carry guy. i DO NOT want to find out how it works because it IS life changing. the goal is that i am still alive to talk about it. most people never have to use it and that is a very good thing. most just want that chance IF it unfortunately should occur.
very long, (but very true) story short, about 6-7 years ago, shortly after getting my C & C following hours of courses and having grown up around guns, i needed my gun. i did not fire it however, but merely "badged" it. i had 3 guys running straight at my while stuck in the middle of traffic at a red light. i didn't stick it out my window nor aim it at them. i just held it up so they could see it. they all face planted, the light turned green and i went straight to the cop shop to report it. they called me that night to tell me they got one of the guys. what consequences he received, i don't know
back in 1979, my room mate and i walking home from library at 4 in the afternoon down wisco ave had a gun pulled on us. car full of dudes pulled up to ask directions, pulled the gun out, started laughing while we ducked and ran our asses off hoping not to hear shots.
wrong place, wrong time but learning experiences for sure
i commend your courage and committment and wish you nothing the best lensie-PEACE-

About a month ago he and his carpool were hit at 30th in Michigan when car going 50 MPH flew through a stop sign. It should’ve T-bond my son. Instead the kid driving was able to swerve enough that it ended up just being a sideswipe. My son went from probably two broken legs (at best) to being able to walk away. Needless to say, I understand reckless driving in the city of Milwaukee.
Beyond going to school at 34th & Michigan is he runs cross country and he ran all winter which means every day he leaves from 35th and Wisconsin and runs to the Domes or to the Hank Aaron Trail or to Doyne & Jacobus Parks through Miller Valley. The route to all those places ain’t pretty and he does this every single day, and he always tells me it's the best part of his day, he loves to explore all parts of the city.
When I think back about the accident, here’s what I think about:
- He learned that the kid who was driving his carpool had his head on a swivel and was able to make an instant reaction because he was paying attention. That’s an invaluable lesson to a kid about to get his temps.
- He learned how to call the cops and wait for their arrival to give a police report
- And he learned that at 30th and Michigan that when 3 Whitefish Bay kids crash their Volkswagen that people from a neighborhood completely different from theirs still come running outside to make sure they’re OK and offer support / help. He learned about how there’s compassion from groups all across the city. I hate saying he goes to school in a bad area...he goes to school in a poor area.
So in someways I don’t see that accident as a con. I will see it as a pro.
He learned a lot that day and it really, really, REALLY bothers me that there are people outside of the city who don’t want to come in because of a few hiccups.
IMO, it’s disgraceful and it goes against everyting Christ taught us.
Additionally (bc this is long enough) I own a company at 14th & St Paul. 26 employees who love coming to work and our building is a huge part of our morale (free parking). I work out at the Rec Plex (across the street from MPL) daily, I eat / shop on MU's campus on a daily basis. It sickens me that people delight in the 1% of problems and not revel in the 99% of good. I am there EVERY SINGLE DAY. I see it all. If you have a problem, the problem is you.
Back to "wrong place, wrong time" I’m so happy that my son is exposed to real life on a daily basis, and I hope that these other New Berlin West kids will evetually be too.
Peace.
That’s really awesome stuff. Thanks for sharing.

100%, and so glad your son and others were okay in that crash. As a freshman, my soccer playing son trained at Merrill and while not the CC kids now walks to Quad, St Rose, my other son (freshman in college) would go to a vacant warehouse a few blocks away to run the robot for the robotics team. I love that they go/went to school at MUHS. It is certainly more “protected” but the boys have to learn how to be aware, how to be kind, how to be smart. Now my older son goes to school in West Philly, thank goodness he had some experiences at MUHS to turn to.
One day I was driving my son to school for an afternoon training and a beat up, tinted windowed car was puttering along. They turned right onto Michigan at Takton Field, I pulled up next to them. I think they were just as shocked as my son. Guy rolls down his widow, and I ask if they need some help, a lift to the mechanic nearby, anything. They said no thanks, and I answered with well I’ll be at MUHS for awhile parked right there, come find me if you do. I was met with a “God bless you, thank you.” And, son was met with be smart, be kind.
When kids are exposed to things outside our lily white suburbs, their perception of people and the world expands, their compassion expands. That is ALWAYS a good thing. Now, don’t get me wrong, it is different going to school in a city, it is more dangerous with that intersection at 35th and Michigan, my son was nearly T-boned at the light coming off of the highway getting onto 35th at Park Hill, now he knows to take a pause. Anyway, I’d rather my son be aware than afraid.

Great post, glad your son and his friends are OK. I think most people can deal with life’s randomness for themselves. When their children are it’s victim it’s more difficult. Difficult but necessary if you want to experience and teach them to experience anything that resembles a meaningful life.

Anyone over 60 shouldn’t be allowed to drive without passing a yearly drivers test, along with taking a vision and hearing test. They should also have a camera and GPS attached to their cars to monitor their driving.

Terrible news for dentists:
Most people think the U.S. crime rate is rising. They're wrong.
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/people-think-crime-rate-up-actually-down-rcna129585
"Crime in the United States has declined significantly over the last year, according to new FBI data that contradicts a widespread national perception that law-breaking and violence are on the rise.
"The FBI data, which compares crime rates in the third quarter of 2023 to the same period last year, found that violent crime dropped 8%, while property crime fell 6.3% to what would be its lowest level since 1961, according to criminologist Jeff Asher, who analyzed the FBI numbers.
Murder plummeted in the United States in 2023 at one of the fastest rates of decline ever recorded, Asher found, and every category of major crime except auto theft declined.
Yet 92% of Republicans, 78% of independents and 58% of Democrats believe crime is rising, the Gallup survey shows.
The most recent annual report, released in October, covered 94% of the country and found that violent crime in 2022 fell back to pre-pandemic levels, with murder dropping 6.1%.
Asher maintains a separate database of murder in big cities which found that murder is down 12.7 percent this year, after rising during the pandemic.
Retail theft is widely believed to have skyrocketed in some cities, and the industry says it is at “unprecedented” levels. But the data doesn’t necessarily support that thesis.
So why are Americans’ perceptions about crime so different from the apparent reality? Asher believes there is a measure of partisanship at work — Republicans are more ready to believe crime is increasing while Democrats hold the White House — but he largely chalks it up to media consumption."

Was recently at a corporate event, in discussions with others many corporations are experiencing heavy level of Trucks hijacked, facilities robbed at gunpoint and constant cyber attacks .
They also report many drug related home invasions in the communities they operate in. More and more employees are armed for self protection at home and at work, which creates its own set of problems.
Auto theft in these stats is up and is a precursor to even more violent crime.

Did your meetings with the FBI go well? What advice did you offer them to fight this massive spike in crime.
I am literally scared to even leave my house with this massive spike in crime.
-
Cyber attacks I can understand, Ive known a number of companies dealing with them recently. On a personal level, the number of times I get BS requests to change my password on various sites (IM LOOKING AT YOU INSTACART) cause people are trying to blunt force hack them is spiking absurdly.
That being said, I work in an industry that deals exclusively in high value items, tons of valuable shipments with not just FedEx/UPS, but also armored trucks, etc... Ive heard basically nothing in terms of spikes in crime or robberies. I actually received a shipment from an armored carrier this morning. I asked my driver, who worked a decade at their JFK and EWR locations before moving to Florida, if hes seen or heard of any increase in crime related to that, in their company or in the industry, and his response was "not at all, thank god"
My wife also works in commerical real estate, specifically multi family community management and ownership. They have a footprint all over the Eastern seaboard, the Midwest, and Plains. She's far more prone to worry and concern than I am, annoyingly so at times :), but they've not seen anything meaningful in terms of break ins or crime at their properties.
YMMV but shrug

1) Walking down the street to your friend's house to watch porn on VHS does not constitute a "corporate event".
2) Well, I guess all the data must be wrong then
-
Due to the decrease in crime, there is no need for additional gun control laws
Pfffftt, it is because of massive gun ownership that crime is down, obviously. The answer in this case, and every other case, is that no matter whether crime is up or crime is down, more guns are the solution.
If we need any laws passed around guns, it is to require all Americans to be armed.

The Covenant Parents Aren’t Going to Keep Quiet on Guns
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/26/us/politics/nashville-school-shooting-covenant-parents.html?campaign_id=9&emc=edit_nn_20231227&instance_id=111087&nl=the-morning®i_id=108420427&segment_id=153633&te=1&user_id=d36dcf821462fdd16ec3636710a855fa
Mary Joyce told herself she would be kind, just as she always had been. Say enough, but not too much, she reminded herself.
Surely, the members of the Tennessee General Assembly before her would be moved by her testimony at a special session dedicated to public safety.
A moderate conservative herself, she would tell them about the day in March when she dropped off her 9-year-old daughter at the Covenant School, a private Christian school tucked into one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in Nashville. She would remind them how an assailant wielding powerful rifles killed three of her daughter’s third-grade classmates, the head of the school, a beloved custodian and a substitute teacher.
What she wanted now were modest measures that she believed could have prevented the violence and still be accepted by other Republicans.
Ms. Joyce and other Covenant parents felt they stood a better chance than anyone at cutting through the divisions on gun control. Among them were former Republican aides, gun owners and lifelong conservatives who could afford to spend days at the legislature.
Several parents understood that, for many, the right to bear arms, without any caveat, was an intrinsic piece of American identity. They knew this was particularly true in Tennessee, a state with an official rifle and a history of political retribution for conservatives who disregard the gun lobbyists and their hard-line base.
They had watched efforts led by other parents, galvanized by similar tragedy in Texas and other states, become snarled by politics.
But the Tennessee legislature proved more hostile than the Covenant parents imagined. And when Ms. Joyce heard just one more gun rights supporter dismiss the parents’ concerns after days of restraint, her patience snapped.
The shooter at Covenant “hunted our children with a high-capacity rifle,” Ms. Joyce cried out, her voice cracking, as she confronted the gun rights supporter in the Capitol rotunda. He walked away, but not before suggesting she listen more closely to his arguments.
“I have held my composure,” she said, now openly angry despite the crowd that had gathered. “I have stayed calm. I have been silent and quiet and composed. And I am sick of it. Listen to me.”
Glad these parents aren't giving up. But they stand no chance against right-wingnuts like these Tennessee politicians, who prefer ARs FOR EVERYBODY! to kids' lives.

Was recently at a corporate event, in discussions with others many corporations are experiencing heavy level of Trucks hijacked, facilities robbed at gunpoint and constant cyber attacks .
They also report many drug related home invasions in the communities they operate in. More and more employees are armed for self protection at home and at work, which creates its own set of problems.
Auto theft in these stats is up and is a precursor to even more violent crime.
This is #fakenews
Hijacked trucks and robberies are not up at distribution centers or are facilities being robbed at some greater frequency.

Here's a heartwarming Christmas tale ...
https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2023/12/27/florida-teen-shooting-christmas-presents/?utm_campaign=wp_post_most&utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter&wpisrc=nl_most
A Christmas Eve argument between teen brothers over who was getting more gifts ended in tragedy in Florida: A 14-year-old boy shot and killed his sister, who had tried to defuse the fight — and then was shot by his older brother, the local sheriff said.
The brothers — a year apart in age — were Christmas shopping on Sunday with their mother and their sister, Abrielle Baldwin, 23, and her two sons when the argument broke out.
“They had this family spat over who was getting what and how much money was being spent on who,” Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri told a news conference Tuesday.
The argument continued as the family made their way from the store to their grandmother’s house in Largo, Fla. The brothers were each in possession of a gun, the sheriff said.
“They get to grandma’s house [and the 14-year-old] takes out his gun and tells him he’s going to shoot him in the head,” the sheriff said.
The older brother said he didn’t want to fight and asked his younger sibling to get out of the house, he added. Their uncle and sister, Baldwin, attempted to turn the situation around.
“You all need to leave that stuff alone … It’s Christmas,” Baldwin told them while standing outside the property, according to Gualtieri.
The 14-year-old, after allegedly threatening to shoot his sister and her baby, is accused of shooting Baldwin in the chest while she was holding her son in a carrier at 1:45 p.m. She fell to the ground and was later pronounced dead at a hospital. Her baby was not injured.
Seconds after the shooting, the 15-year-old brother came outside holding his own handgun and shot his younger brother in the stomach, Gualtieri said. The 14-year-old was unarmed when his brother shot him, he said, and is in custody in stable condition at a hospital.
The 15-year-old then fled, tossing his weapon into a yard nearby, Gualtieri said. He was later taken into custody at a relative’s house.
Gualtieri said that both teens were arrested and that only one of the two weapons was recovered at the scene, expressing concern that the missing gun would eventually be picked up and used in another crime. Audio of the incident was captured on a neighbor’s camera, Gualtieri said.
“The problem is, we got way too many kids out there with way too many guns,” Gualtieri said, adding that he hoped gun laws would change. “We need to get serious, and we need to get tough.”
He said prosecutors are reviewing the case and will decide whether to charge the 14-year-old as an adult with first-degree murder.
The 15-year-old will be charged with attempted first-degree murder and tampering with physical evidence, he added. He is being held in a mental health facility after making statements about harming himself, Gualtieri said.
Before the shooting, the 14-year-old posed on Snapchat with the weapon “he used to kill his sister,” Gualtieri said, adding that people who knew the brothers told police that the teens “carried guns all the time.” Gualtieri said that obtaining a gun is “really easy” and that people are either buying stolen ones “cheap on the street” or taking them from unlocked vehicles. Earlier this year, he said, both brothers were arrested for “numerous car burglaries” in their area.

“ The 14-year-old has arrests dating to when he was 12 years old, including being a minor in possession of a gun, disorderly conduct, grand theft auto, auto burglaries and battery on a school employee, Gualtieri said.”

By the FBI and CDC’s own data between 1.5 and 2 million crimes are stopped or prevented because of the presence of a firearm. Facts matter

Wow. Really precise data. Margin of error is 500,000. No wonder you guys are demanding defunding law enforcement.
-
By the FBI and CDC’s own data between 1.5 and 2 million crimes are stopped or prevented because of the presence of a firearm. Facts matter
It was 1.5 million. That number comes from a 1994 telephone survey where about 2,500 gun owners were surveyed. Out of those ~2,500 gun owners, 19 self reported that they had stopped or prevented a crime with their firearm. They were not asked to provide proof of this. Researchers took them at their word and extrapolated that those 19 self reports would equal about 1.5 million if generalized to the entire population of America.
This is of course an absurd conclusion but you are correct, the FBI and CDC did post those numbers. You are incorrect that it is their "own data", it was just a study that they cited.
I can show you a more recent study that estimates the number is around 119,000 a year. Is that also a fact that matters?
On the other side, I can show you a more recent study that estimates that the number is around 1.6 million a year.
Maybe the lesson here is that how a study is conducted is important context because people on both sides of this issue will try to frame the data in a certain way. I wouldn't call any of the numbers above "facts", just "results".

Clearly, one of the best ways to keep guns out of the hands of criminals is to have them everywhere, easy for anybody (even teenagers) to buy or steal.
Guns guns guns. Need more of 'em!!!!
If every man, woman and child in the United States had, say, 100 guns, the crime rate would be 0.00! That's the way low-crime countries do it, right?

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/29/us/crime-data-fbi-homicides.html?campaign_id=9&emc=edit_nn_20231229&instance_id=111233&nl=the-morning®i_id=108420427&segment_id=153783&te=1&user_id=d36dcf821462fdd16ec3636710a855fa
Detroit is on track to record the fewest murders since the 1960s. In Philadelphia, where there were more murders in 2021 than in any year on record, the number of homicides this year has fallen more than 20 percent from last year. And in Los Angeles, the number of shooting victims this year is down more than 200 from two years ago.
The decrease in gun violence in 2023 has been a welcome trend for communities around the country, though even as the number of homicides and the number of shootings have fallen nationwide, they remain higher than on the eve of the pandemic.

this is the 2nd time you've trolled and doxed me and i'm the embarrassing MU grad?? people like you who do this are a coward and beyond despicable, but par for the course on how the "mostly peaceful" operate...
since you've blocked me from even sending you a pm-hope you feel good for yourself getting in the last word you coward...happy new year
Didn't know ignoring a user blocks everything, that's honestly a bummer.
You've mentioned East Troy 10 times on MUScoop. Four of those times you've identified yourself as physically being in East Troy or having an office in East Troy.
-
you're joking....
right?
just turn on faux news
You stated Fentanyl was crossing the mexico-US border with immigrants/asylum-seekers.
I've heard it also crosses the Canada border and also comes in via ships in US ports - primarily west coast.
So I was curious if you had any sources that would demonstrate where the majority of it was found to be entering
-
bias
I think you have crossed the line yet again. Not exactly sure what rocket has to do with doxxing. To even think what you posted is bad enough, shocked anyone would post such a thing.
But do you denounce Hama…I mean Keefe?
-
And others.
-
They will be included in my five point plan to address Doxxing on scoop
-
tower
My post to bias was not simply about doxing. I think everyone on here has agreed that doxing is 100000% wrong and should not be tolerated. In addition, I believe Sultan has stated several times that he spoke with people on the doxing and he good with the conversation had on the topic. Not exactly sure why someone else stating "lucky nobody pulls a keefe" was needed.

Nope. I am beyond pissed that it happened and haven't received any sort of apology for it. The fact that you get all up in arms about bias' reply to rocket, using information that rocket himself has disclosed, yet were kinda like "well what can you do?" when it happened to wades and me shows you are at best inconsistent on the matter.
So my "Huh" response was actually the polite one of the two I was considering.
-
Sultan
I would bet a lot of money that you stated that you reached out to people and received a favorable response and you appreciated the response. If I am mistaken, my bad.
Hardly up in arms and simply wish there was less of the BS on some of these threads, on both sides. I try to stay out of the mix more times than not because I find in tiring.
IMO, regardless if it was bias or someone else, I thought the post went over the line and too personal. I am sticking with that because I sincerely believe that to be true.

Myself, and several others, text with Keefe every day and I have zero idea if he sent the email or not. IMO, he is a grown man and does not need intervention from me any more than the fxxk heads that get threads locked down threads on regular basis.

Coming across the border and requesting asylum is perfectly legal. No better way to absorb into the country than to allow them to work immediately.
This would solve a lot of problems.

I think it is about consistency regardless of who is involved.
4ever even used the name of the owner and CEO of the company I worked for. There were a few here that called him on it (I think Tower may have been one). But I know you weren’t among them. (I don’t mean that a a criticism of you as I have no idea if you even saw the post).
-
If a message board makes you angry enough to doxx someone, that’s a you problem.

Bingo!

Doxxing is bullying. I have a visceral dislike of bullying. I will never condone it.

PLM
What does the quote you dug up from me have to do with anything? First, it is one quote of many that day, I believe and I have stated countless times that what happened to wades was flat out wrong.
I believe the day it happened I was being told to get to the bottom of things and I had no idea how that was my responsibility. I spoke to Keefe that day and he told me it was not him and I took him for his word. One of the mods had stated several times that they are convinced it was him and I never disputed the mods.
For the record, I have reached out to wades several times since that happened and had conversations on that topic. If he sent the email he should be banned and I would not disagree with any way wades handled it.

They're not the apologizing type. Not even in private.
Ask me how I know.

Hey Hards
Seriously? I believe I have reached out to you several times, maybe not to apologize but clear the air. I think there are a ton of posts from
a lot of people that justify an apology.
I will say Pakuni one time stated he might have crossed the line with me and it was appreciated. IMO, outing someone and serious personal attacks are off limits.
To start the new year off right, I apologize if I ever made a crazy personal attack on anyone on scoop.

You weren't a doxxer, my friend. We disagree on many things, but you're not who I am referring to here. I wish you the best.
Also, to clarify, I don't need or expect an apology anymore. The time for such things is long since past, and I've forgiven those involved without saying as much aloud.

Doxxing is bad regardless of friend of stranger. And should be abruptly called out on who is doing it. Glad you seem to have reflected and grown on the matter.
Wish you all the best in the new year and hope for more kindness and empathy from everyone here. Too much hatred of our fellow man these days.

regardless basketball for brains-you know what you are doing and why and it sure ain't for anything good...because you guys don't like my politics, you do what the "mostly peaceful' types do and try to hurt people in other ways, i.e. their businesses. instead of trying to burn mine down physically, you are trying to hurt it via doxing. your post was way out of line. there was absolutely no redeeming quality to it, but it sure made you feel good
if you were to be successful in hurting my business, understand you are hurting employees and patients. if i brought up east troy, it was because it was pertinent to or it was in context with the discussion, i don't really remember. i know it wasn't to put my business in harms way. you however are doing just that and it's beyond WRONG. it is abhorrent and people like you should not be allowed to post here if that is your goal to hurt fellow posters financially
one last thing-the people who really know me, work for me, have done business with me, been patients of mine for over 35 years, some crossing the generation from my father to me including my kindergarten teacher, piano teacher, high school teachers, coaches, grandchildren of classmates and friends, etc.etc. they all know who i am.

I often had dinner with Joe Louis in Detroit. Occasionally, George Romney would discuss politics with us
-
Saying one is lucky no one has retaliated for the idiotic things you say isn’t the same as doxxing.
Doxxing is bad. Pointing out you haven’t suffered consequences for hateful speech isn’t that.

Rocket, you have never, to my knowledge, been doxxed on this site. Doxxing involves either posting personal information on this site that you have never shared on this site, or it is sharing what you've posted on this site with those who know you in the real world. You have repeatedly shared that you are located in the East Troy area. That makes it fair game for people to mention on this site. I've shared on this site that I work for Texas A&M on this site and even the general area of the university I work in. If another poster brings up who my employer is, and that's happened more than a few times, they aren't doxxing me. They're just reposting what I've already shared.
You have not been doxxed Rocket and I genuinely hope you never are.
one last thing-the people who really know me, work for me, have done business with me, been patients of mine for over 35 years, some crossing the generation from my father to me including my kindergarten teacher, piano teacher, high school teachers, coaches, grandchildren of classmates and friends, etc.etc. they all know who i am.
You seem very certain of this, so I will take you at your word. But I would encourage you to reflect on why you think this is true. Is it because the people who really know you, work for you, have done business with you, been patients of yours for over 35 years, know about the side of you that comes out on this site? Would they laugh and smile and give you atta boys for all of the things that you've posted over the years? I'll admit, I'm skeptical. If I learned that one of my daughter's medical providers made a post on a college basketball forum about how my daughter is schtooping her boyfriend, that medical provider would be getting an enraged phone call and would lose my business and the business of anyone I knew. Maybe your patients are more forgiving.
Or do you think this is true because you don't consider the persona you have on this site to be who you truly are? Which begs the age old question, are we are truest selves when everyone is watching or when no one is watching? Personally, I think we're both.

If that’s where the bar is set, there are a ton of people on this board that should run for cover. Be careful of what you ask for.
Not pointing this at you TAMU.
My take, this is a place to exchange commentary, moderated when needed. And that’s all it is.

could not have said it better chili-
i may not have been "doxed" as the definition so goes, but what basketball for brains did was coming oh so close. if one wants to set the bar as tamu has stated, then why don't we all just use our real names, addresses and open it all up-fair game? there is a reason we do not of course.
if there was a pattern to ones behavior is one thing. is everything written here on the "up & up" glass houses? it's another thing to use this board to try to personally damage someone-that is the true character that comes out
-
I agree, Chili.
As for TAMU post, my dentist does have a completely different internet persona on the internet and I recommend that dentist to family and friends. There is not scoop persona that would keep from reaching out to anyone on scoop.
Obviously I like some posters more than others, but I have had great PM interactions with some posters I do not like their persona, but I find them interesting or intelligent on certain topics.
If you would make any personal decisions over someone’s online persona good for you, but you better reverse dox everyone in your life and find if they have an online persona that offends you.

Which is really odd behavior IMO.

I would actually have Sultan on the top of my list of scoopers I have zero interest in knowing anything about. Seriously, zero interest in knowing one thing about his real life. I have seen enough of his work on scoop and zero additional info is needed.

Good.
But again, really odd discussion point.
-
Sultan,
You had just posted people posting about your real life and sharing info within a group. You brought this back to you and things said about you. I was simply making one thing very clear, there is zero about you that interests me to learn more about you beyond what I know via scoop. Have no fears about me digging into your life and “sharing” info on you.
-
Because he has been doxxed by members of this board. In a discussion about doxxing by members of this board. Odd discussion point to continue to ignore that elephant in the room.
-

Right. It's a strange failure in logic.
The point is that some of the people getting outraged over people's comments to rocket were the same ones who both failed to say anything similar when keefe actually directly contacted Scoopers' workplaces. And they also continue to participate in doxxing by directly stating personal information about Scoopers without their permission. I was simply using myself as the example.
-
Serious question to everyone on scoop, have you ever found or shared personal info about scoopers to friends or fellow scoopers? If so, is that crossing the line?
I fully understand doxxing is at a much different level, but invading privacy is invading privacy. Is what happened to wades really doxxing or just crazy bad behavior.
I can say with 100% honesty that I have never looked up one scooper on the internet. That said, I have definitely looked/snooped on people on the internet. While I think that behavior is a waste of time, I do not think it is new behavior. The internet just made it easier. Hell, I remember looking for an old girlfriend’s telephone number in the phonebook when she moved back to town and this was 40 years ago.
-
You have to admit, there’s a difference in someone calling you by your first name…and veiled claims and threats about one’s professionalism. Wades and Rocket both have legit complaints….whether or not you like their on-line personas.

Fluff
I agree with your doxxing comments, only a fxxkin moron would not agree doxxing is horrible. I am not outraged in the Rocket situation, I just think bias and 🏀 crossed a line, not the doxxing line but mutual respect line.
I would hope that there is no need to debate doxxing being a horrible thing. My only involvement in this thread was because I thought two posters made over the line personal attacks.

Rocket, please explain how anyone on this site has damaged you on the real world.
No one has. Youre not reacting because you've been damaged, you're reacting because you know you could be. You know you've written stuff on here that if shared with people who "truly know" you would cause them to recoil.
I have used my real name on this site. The reason i feel comfortable doing that is because if you go through my posts you could probably find some hair brained basketball takes but everything I would either stand behind or admit I was wrong. I would reflect on why you can't say the same.

And see, i think most of us don't have a persona on scoop. Most of us are the same offline as online. I can understand the fun in being someone else online, but when someone uses an anonymous profile to say hateful and bigoted things, spread misinformation, or to identify their patients by name and comment on whether our not they're banging their boyfriend, I question what kind of person in real life would find that fun.
As for your suggestion to reverse dox everyone i know, no i don't need to do that. I operate with the information i have. My baseline is to think the best of people. But i trust when people tell me otherwise about themselves.

Why should we run for cover? How is reposting things on this site already shared on this site damaging in any way?
Our are you talking about the standard that we shouldn't say things online that we wouldn't want people in our lives to know about? My question is, why wouldn't you hold yourself to that standard? Most of us do that already.

If you can’t see Rocket and his class are always the victim, I’m not sure what I can tell you. It’s very sad when you live in a world where your class suffers daily like rocket’s does. It’s mostly because of ice cream from what I gather

I saw a tweet recently that said, roughly paraphrasing, that a common flaw in thinking is that only dumb people have dumb ideas. We're all familiar with this idea that people elevate the thoughts of those they respect/admire/adore (see: Elon, insert whatever politician they support, etc..) but also tend to extrapolate the foolishness or idiocy of an idea/viewpoint onto the one who expresses it. This is increasingly heightened online.
But the reality is some of the dumbest or reckless decisions or ideas in business or political or global history have been made or espoused by otherwise intelligent people.
This is not to excuse any of the muck flinging or nonsense that happens here, but just something to think of when sniping at others here.
Furthermore, otherwise good people do terrible things sometimes. I won't speak in generalities here cause he's no longer present and has been named many times, but the Keefe example is prime. I know that myself and many others had great experiences with Keefe, likely largely involving nothing that made him divisive here. As Ive mentioned, he personally went out of his way numerous times to assist me and help me before I ever met him personally. But what he did was indefensible, pathetic, and extremely disappointing. I don't fault Goose for his mindset on it. Its hard to reconcile the offline person he knew with the disconnect that can often happen in online activities leading to something shameful.
Anyways, for some this won't change anything, but I just wanted to chime in on perspective that we all need sometimes. I personally PM people, that I often disagree with, more often than I used to, whenever I see some sort of commonality cause it helps ground and "re-humanize" posters instead of just a username and avatar.

TAMU, as I said in my post, I was not referring to you.
Yes you were. And that's okay. You commented about the bar I was setting in my post. You can disagree with me, I'm not fragile. What concerns do you have about that standard? And if you truly weren't talking about my bar, what were you referring to?

Wag
You are spot on.

regardless basketball for brains-you know what you are doing and why and it sure ain't for anything good...because you guys don't like my politics, you do what the "mostly peaceful' types do and try to hurt people in other ways, i.e. their businesses. instead of trying to burn mine down physically, you are trying to hurt it via doxing. your post was way out of line. there was absolutely no redeeming quality to it, but it sure made you feel good
if you were to be successful in hurting my business, understand you are hurting employees and patients. if i brought up east troy, it was because it was pertinent to or it was in context with the discussion, i don't really remember. i know it wasn't to put my business in harms way. you however are doing just that and it's beyond WRONG. it is abhorrent and people like you should not be allowed to post here if that is your goal to hurt fellow posters financially
one last thing-the people who really know me, work for me, have done business with me, been patients of mine for over 35 years, some crossing the generation from my father to me including my kindergarten teacher, piano teacher, high school teachers, coaches, grandchildren of classmates and friends, etc.etc. they all know who i am.
so stand proud basketball brains and dox away...

I think this is why there is so much vitriol towards Keefe. I also had many friendly discussions with him on a variety of subjects. And then suddenly, and I still don't know why, he turned on me. My guess is that it involved my hatred for Trump, but I don't know for sure.

Your very strong business brain doesn't understand rates and percentages vs. absolute numbers?
The post referred to the lowest number of murders in Detroit since the 1960s. That is an absolute concept.

Whole lot of old guys worried about veiled and unveiled racist, misogynistic, homophobic and quite frankly classist things they’ve posted on a message board may have real world implications.
Guys, we’ve all posted things that haven’t aged well in the 15(?) years this place has been here. Maybe let’s just be better going forward.
If you won’t put your dental practice behind what you post, don’t post it. Seems like a good mental check when posting.

Herman is correct in this instance. The numbers being cited are absolute numbers. The current homicide rate in Detroit is overly double the homicide rate for 1966.
However, even taking rates into account, this is record low going back decades, though not all the way to 1966.

I don’t share my or anyone else’s posts on Scoop with my wife. She’s well aware (after 50 years) that I’m hilarious and much kinder to people than they deserve, so what would be the point? Every once in a while she’ll ask me “What’s happening on the Marquette message board?” but it’s polite conversation, not any real desire for details. If she ever actually read a couple of pages here (especially in the Superbar or the in game threads) she’d be shocked at how awful this place can be and wonder what I’m doing here. But when I reminded her that (like you) I bring laughter to the joyless and kindness to the undeserving she would understand and support me in this often thankless pursuit.

Lenny
My wife thinks I am a complete whack job with the time I spend on scoop and she probably is right. My scoop time is far from a secret in our family but I’m not calling her into the room to share “interesting “ comments or threads from scoop with her. One of my sons call me Goose from time to time and that usually triggers a brief conversation about scoop and my wife asking son if I am pissing people off or not.
By the way, you forgot to mention your role as valued teacher on scoop. Some day, many of your nemesis scoopers will tell their children that “Lenny was right and what a blessing he is on scoop”. Until then, keep calling it as you see it. If it sinks into one scooper’s head, you made the world a better place.

Goose,
I like Lenny and his commentary here on Scoop even though we have vast differences. He adds a lot to the board.
But I don't think I will ever say “Lenny was right and what a blessing he is on scoop” to my kids. :)

We do have vast differences politically but I always like to read your takes on other things - movies, music, sports and life in general. Back in the old, pre internet days, that was plenty to forge a friendship. In fact, many of my oldest and closest friends today are and have pretty much always been diametrically opposed to me politically. So imho politics are irrelevant to friendships, just conflicting opinions on how to best insure the common good. I’m not one to look backwards and mourn the loss of “the good old days” but that’s one good aspect of life in the USA that’s mostly been lost.

Wags et al. It is my belief that most of us reside in the middle on most things. Disagreements on issues doesn’t mean anybody is a bad person. We all come at things from different angles and you can’t know truth without being exposed to differing opinions.

I have zero interest in finding out more about scoopers than they wish to be shared. And I don't believe in bullying.
Trolling is a form of bullying.

From the NYT's The Morning newsletter ...
In the chaotic early months of the Covid pandemic, when the U.S. was also going through the aftermath of George Floyd’s murder, violent crime rose across the country. Murders in 2020 increased at the fastest rate since national statistics began in 1960. Other crimes, like shootings and car thefts, also increased.
The surge in violence left some experts worried that the U.S. might be entering another era of high crime, similar to that of the 1960s through the ’90s.
But the data over the past year has offered a much more optimistic picture. The number of murders in U.S. cities fell by more than 12 percent — which would be the biggest national decline on record. The spike that started in 2020 now looks more like a blip, and the murder rate is lower than it was during the 1970s, ’80s and ’90s. The recent data also suggests that the violent-crime rate in 2023 was near its lowest level in more than 50 years, as Jeff Asher, a crime analyst, wrote for his newsletter.
To understand why murders and other crimes have declined, it’s useful to look at the likely causes of the increase: the pandemic and the fallout from Floyd’s killing by the police.
Covid, of course, upended American life in 2020 and 2021, including in ways that affected crime: Police officers stopped some forms of in-person contact, and more illness contributed to staffing shortages at police departments. Schools, which help keep teens out of trouble, shut down. Some social services and other anti-violence programs also had to scale back.
Covid does not explain everything. Many other countries did not report increases in their murder rates during the pandemic. Perhaps something unique to the U.S., such as its abundance of guns, made the country more vulnerable to the disruptions of Covid.
Regardless, the reality is this: During Covid, murders increased. As life has returned to normal, they have decreased.
The second explanation involves Floyd’s death. High-profile police killings typically strain relations between law enforcement and the public. This leads some officers to pull back from activities that can stop crime. More people become skeptical of working with the police to solve and prevent crimes. And as they lose trust in the police and the justice system, more Americans resort to their own means, including violence, to settle conflicts.
A similar phenomenon played out in the mid-2010s. Widely publicized police killings of Black men in Ferguson, Mo.; Baltimore; Chicago; and elsewhere strained relations between the police and their communities, and murders increased.
Back then, murders declined after a couple of years, as tensions eased and officials tried to repair police-community relations and improve policing. The same seems to have happened in the last couple of years.

The Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office is reviewing an incident earlier this month in which Marquette University police say three women, including one who carried a gun, began pulling flags from a pro-Palestinian display.
https://www.jsonline.com/story/news/education/2024/04/24/milwaukee-da-reviews-case-of-woman-marquette-says-damaged-gaza-display/73418376007/?utm_source=jsonline-dailybriefing-strada&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=dailybriefing-greeting&utm_term=Content%20List%20-%20Stacking%20-%20optimized&utm_content=pmjs-milwaukee-nletter65
Marquette police referred a misdemeanor charge of theft while armed to the district attorney's office to review, but it was not clear as of Tuesday afternoon whether prosecutors would charge Kathryn M. Hinderks-Schlotman in the case. Marquette spokeswoman Monica MacKay said a status hearing was scheduled for May.
Campus police say the three women — Hinderks-Schlotman, Alice J. Hinderks-Schlotman, and Marnie B. Atias — trespassed when they arrived on campus April 7 and headed to a university-sanctioned display of thousands of flags staked in the ground. The flags were intended as a memorial for those killed in Gaza during the Israel-Hamas war.
The women are not Marquette students, faculty or staff.
The women pulled up some flags and began stuffing them in trash bags, according to police reports obtained by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Police arrived at the display about two minutes after the women arrived, the reports said.
