How about this counter. We are based in a metro area. The type of schools you seem to be comparing us to are largely located in college towns. As such, they should have a much lower crime rate than us.
Wrong. I was putting a realistic spin on it and it wasn’t hard at all. And it’s campus crime, not town crime. It’s a Tennessee rating and the only other school I looked at was Tennessee @ Knoxville. That’s a pretty big town.
I first learned of this report 15 yrs ago and I think it is a wee bit misleading. But as I said, that’s just my opinion. I also said I may be missing something. I could easily change my mind but your retort doesn’t quite get me there.
Sir, you have no understanding of much of anything. Yet you continually express opinions that are neither based in reason nor seek to understand anything outside your extremely narrow perspective.
Well said.
lol
I think he was talking to you.
I’m fairly certain he was. Understand that years ago, Keeper sought out and confronted a young poster (on his first date with his future wife) in FedExForum because he felt that young man was being a meanie towards him on this anonymous message board. The young man took it in stride and didn’t call security. Keeper was away from this board for years. For the safety of others, he was “permanently” banned for that incident. Since I really want no part his crazy, I went with “well said.”

This is quite an achievement for the univ.

MPD and curbing the crime in the surrounding Spottswood neighborhood to the South is most definitely a problem.
Campus police also patrol the neighborhoods and crime statistics include the area off campus in the community.
All the yea but crowd are just doing what they do…Looking for anything to complain about. Doesn’t matter if it’s accurate, just keep saying yea but.
