Yeah I was wondering when someone would get shot or a huge fight. My daughter says it's been like this for a while now.
These type crowds (people just loitering with no intent of going in businesses) has been going on on for a few summers all over the country. Tuscaloosa had issues a few weeks ago. Iowa City, IA... all over the country.
Starkville needs to do what Memphis did with Beale st. Barricade University after 7pm on Friday and Saturday and charge $10 to enter.

Spruills tweets today are arrogant and ivory towerish. Highly unprofessional.
Gimme some context so I can be properly outraged.
This looks like a bunch of college people on a street in the Cotton District at night...so I am missing something, since that doesn't seem worthy of conversation.

Somebody got shot. Is that context enough?
Is that enough to warrant some outrage sir?
I don’t know that a $10 cover fixes it. Probably helps some but needs to be $25 or $30 with some vouchers to a bar or restaurant in the area for that night. That’s probably not logistically doable. Maybe make it $25 unless you have a studentbut then you probably also chase off patrons the business owners do want.
Just hard to have nice things that aren’t expensive when you have a bunch of ****** people around.
I don’t think that tweet was arrogant or ivory tower ish, but it does make one wonder if she knows the mayor? If it’s not the job of the mayor and police department to keep that area nice and safe, whose job is it?
ETA: I’m an idiot and thought that was her. Tweet.
Starkville is a weak mayor system so the board of alderman are just as responsible as she is. She’s basically another alderman at large
Among any group of college students predominantly hanging out on the street is bad. Most of these people aren’t even going into bars.
and the overwhelming majority in this pick probably aren’t students at msu.
I could also provide some statistics for you but you’d cry racism. You wouldn’t call me a liar though.
also someone was shot.
now G17Urself
She could easily get the police on this without any issue with the board. But she won’t do it unless forced to.
Here is your context - a gathering of people from a specific demographic with a track record for ruining things for everybody with numbskullery and petty gun violence ruined things for everybody with numbskullery and petty gun violence. You are up to date.
It's pretty 17ing reasonable for me to ask for context.
I had no idea, and the video that is part of the initial post in the thread doesn't show any violence.
As another poster mentioned, something similar happened a week ago at the university one of my kids attends.
So now I have background on the issue. The video is 7seconds of nothing bad happening, but background helps.
You knew the context - you knew what happened. Anyone with a 17n brain knows what these groups do whether in a crowded mall, outside a bar, or destroying a neighborhood
Curious what you think the solution should be.
- ban 2 or more people from being in public?
- enact loitering laws on public sidewalks and roads even if nobody's movement is being restricted?
- rope off the area and have the city charge a cover for people to be in a public location?
This is a genuine question.
My city has done some restrictive crowd management in a popular public area with bars because of crowd safety concerns and prior incidents.
I completely understand the concern for ensuring safety in public places.
Just curious what the solution would be for Starkville.
Should’ve been a wake up call after the 2023 Kentucky Homecoming weekend disaster but nothing has been done about it..
I didn't know there as a shooting in Starkville.
And the 7 second video showed a crowd on a street.
Was the shooting shortly after the video at this gathering?
-Unseal all juvenile crimes
-Harsh and long jail sentences for repeat offenders
-jail failed parents
-easy access abortions
-removal of activist judges
-unleash the police
-allow lawful battery of crazy white liberals
How about just have some cops down there and whoever is acting a fool run off?
Block the cotton district off and charge a cover to get it.
they created an open container law that I supported but as usual the 20% ruins it for the 80%.
17ing policing hard is a good thing.
Bc the mayor doesn’t see it as a problem bc she’s a bleeding heart dumb liberal.
So stfu and do some research before making a fool of yourself like ALWAYS.
