Do troublemakers move to Starkville to not attend MSU

[615dawg]

There were several incidents at LSU on Saturday of non-students causing trouble on campus - resulting in a shooting. There were twerk-offs, DJs setting up and starting a block party, etc. It reminded me of the incident at State a couple years ago where troublemakers set up outside DWS during the game and caused some issues.

My daughter told me that it was common for these high school troublemakers to move to Section 8 housing in places like Baton Rouge, Tuscaloosa, Starkville and Hattiesburg when they turn 18. They want to be part of the college culture but do not attend college. I did not know this.

Here's an 8 page thread on what happened at LSU this weekend.

Interesting that you left out Oxford.

Apparently cost of living in Oxford is prohibitive to this plan. I'm sure they get some though.

Maybe Starkville merchants need to jack up the prices of everything… **

 

[Bhamdawg1725]

What has become increasingly popular, tons of kids without the academic chops for straight to MSU, are moving to Starkville to go to Mayhew-EMCC. So they can live away from home and go to “college” but still get an MSU type experience.

I think Oxford has a bit of this with Northwest CC as well. And the whole premise is to go party like you’re at State or OM. Not to get the hours for cheap at a Juco.

It’s a well kept secret that the ‘culture’ spills out late nights on the square as well. They were having some issues a few years ago.

I don’t think we’re talking about the same thing here.

 

[The Peeper]

This type culture is one of the main reasons you saw the moving of so called students out of the Junction and up the hill to the amphitheater so that those actually attending the game and entering from that end wouldn't have to walk through it. So, yes, it exists here too.

 

[Bhamdawg1725]

On that note. Starkville is inherently and significantly more diverse than Oxford. Both city and school.

There is Section 8 stuff in Lafayette County. It's well known the same thing happens up there. They just keep it out of the media. Try again.

It's just a specific instance of a common problem. Trash people see non-trash people having fun or enjoying a nice area or amenity, so trash people move in and bring the problems that comes with their behavior. Only way to fix it is make things too expensive for the trash, which is hard to do in the southeast because depending on the type of activity/event/amenity, a lot of places don't have enough non-trash people with money to support them.

My understanding is USM's announcement that they were going to prohibit tailgating during the game was basically an attempt to discourage trash people from coming to tailgate and not go to the game.

“Crazies”, hahaha.

It’s funny how we literally try and call this everything besides what it actually is. My parents used to say New Orleans was so dangerous due to the “crazies” and freaks, etc. Nope, turns out, it’s the same bunch that’s responsible for the problems in these other towns. It ain’t rocket science and none of the ‘solutions’ we talk about in PC society will work because we do all that and it just gets worse.

Not really criticizing you Glory but that crazies term made me think of that.

There was a commercial on a Starkville radio station this morning that was aimed at exactly this. It said: "Enjoy the college town life in Starkville while attending class at EMCC-Mayhew." I know that several gunfire incidents in Starkville over the last few years have involved people from Columbus, Macon, Noxubee, etc. Its what happens when Starkville is the "center" of the region.

That really was an amazing failure in PR combined with exemplary cowardice. All they had to say was the dude was old, and the girl he was implying was a prostitute was dressed like prostitutes from just two decades ago and it didn't have anything to do with race. I feel bad for streetwalkers now, because I don't know how they advertise their services when women claiming to not be prostitutes are walking around like that. I guess it makes it harder for cops to profile them; not sure if that offsets John's not being able to figure out who is hooking and who is just slutting.

 

[columbiadawg2]

When I lived in Harrisonburg, JMU had a very similar situation. It was so bad that they had to institute a student only tailgate area that was gated entry and everyone in the vehicle had to have a JMU student ID or be a guest of a student.

There is a lot of this going on in Starkville and Oxford.

 

[Colonel Angus.sixpack]

I was at the LSU game Saturday. It’s a shît show on the north side of campus. Not only for unruly behavior and open dope smoking but there’s plenty of girls walking around with their assês and tîts hanging out. I’m not just picking on the black girls either. If anything for every one black girl wearing questionable clothing to what should be a family event theres 10 white girls wearing something equally if not more questionable.

 

[Maroon13]

Crime in Starkville is mostly people from Columbus and west point. Not kids at EMCC.

 

[pacificnwdawg]

This isn't exactly related to the "trouble maker" premise of the original question posted. My daughter goes to LSU and she said that that a ton of kids move to go to BR to go to the community college but party at LSU. It is so common that the Frats even have kids who go to BRCC and not LSU. I thought that was wild.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

The population of Baton Rouge, is about ten times larger than Vegas.
Often that plays a part.

 

[MSF87]

This has to be the first use of the term "twerk-offs" in Six Pack history.

My wife and daughter have been watching the sorority show that had some features on Ole Miss. The last episode was about the black fraternities and sororities - had no idea you didn't have to attend the school where the chapter is and you can join later in life, not just as a college student.

 

[jxndawg]

I've lived in Oxford almost 10 years now, and it's a problem here, too. The square attracts its fair share of non-OM students from out of town, and it's becoming a bigger problem. A few weeks ago, after one of the home games, a BBQ place down South Lamar (out by the old hospital) had some huge party that spilled out onto the street after midnight, shutting traffic down, and when OPD showed up to break it up, a guy pulled out a gun and shot at somebody (don't think he hit anybody but not sure). Word around town is that it was mostly your out-of-town non-students. It was in the Oxford Eagle, so you can Google it if you're interested.

And out on Hwy 6, not far from the Old Grisham Place, there's a development called the Links that's a Section 8 deal, and it's regularly in the OPD police blotter for bigger-ticket items involving guns, etc. I heard a rumor that OM bought it and is going to convert it to some kind of student housing, and they're doing it just to shut it down, but who knows.

I mean I’ve never heard of that but Baton Rouge is full of plenty of low life’s that could show up and do this without people moving in from out of town

Guess that’s why they are all off campus

It’s mainly only a problem for that group. 99% of people can avoid those issues just by avoiding those type events.

So overall, it’s still fairly safe out there.

That's a pretty bad situation. Maybe not approve Section 8 for them?

Isn't Starkville the largest town in the region now? Somewhat bigger than Columbus?

The Links with the golf course has turned into Section 8? That's wild. I know it's on the edge of town and not convenient to the square and I guess those are probably 20 years old now, which in a college town is long in the tooth, but , but I would have thought with all the growth there was enough student demand in Oxford and the golf course was enough of an amenity to stay decent.

The Links is Section 8 now? 20 years ago, that's where law school fratboys lived. Things sure change!

The only reason I was aware was that we were at a casino one time and there was some sorority having its annual national membership meeting (or whatever you call it) and I made a comment about the lack of current members and it was explained to me those were the current members and that basically nobody in school would come to that meeting. Can't remember which one it was and wasn't sure how typical it was. Same person told me that whatever they call the spring break in biloxi mostly isn't college students, but young working adults, some college age but a lot of them older.

Yeah, the show featured a mother-daughter. The daughter was Miss Virginia and a member of one of the black sororities. The show featured her attempt, as a mom in her 40s on joining the sorority.
