OT - Home Security Systems

[JoMo MoJo]

I have a Glock 19, an Austrian Mauser from WWII, an AR-15, a Walter PPQ and a Replica Sturmgewehr 44 chambered in .22. (An actual wehrmacht StG-44 is priceless) The Glock is probably the only one I would call a self-defense weapon, but I don’t depend on any of them for home protection. I own guns because I love guns and my right to own guns. I also like to shoot targets. I’m not even a hunter. None of these, except maybe the AR for hog purposes, is considered a hunting rifle. I’m way more concerned with the Muslim posturing within the US and the eventual push they will make for control, than I am a home invasion. Unfortunately, Jackson is ripe as an area where militant Muslim groups can gain footholds unchecked, and my proximity to Jackson dictates I must be ready when the Jihad crosses the Pearl.

Because no one is going to break in to your house in the 39047. Keep in mind though that most alarm systems will be obsolete about 3 months after installation.

So you’re saying that no burglaries/home invasions happen in 39047 when they actually do. Then you top it off saying an alarm system is obsolete after 3 months. Lay off the indica and try more sativa.

This is one example to show you are very uninformed. Just one....

I would love to know where these crimes are occurring. I live in a neighborhood where roughly half the people work and the other half are retired. In most neighborhoods in the Brandon/Flowood area an intruder just can’t walk up and break in the front door or your house because 4 people will have reported it by then.

We also have Rankin SO regularly patrol our neighborhoods. The last “crime” committed where I live is when the nutjob on a killing spree shot the jogger on Castlewoods Boulevard after he killed his girlfriend at the vine street apartments.

I will also add that Rankin County probably has the highest number of concealed carry permits in the state, especially if that person work across the Pearl River, so the odds of a successful heist just aren’t in the criminals favor.

My advice to this guy is simple. Know your neighbors and watch their back and they will do the same for you. Or just do what most young people do and spend the money needlessly because it’s cool tech or just because their friends have one too.



ETA: after further review of your link I would probably add that those results could be skewed by the number of people that claim burglary to collect on insurance after they overextend themselves. Insurance claims won’t pay without a police report. And all this site looks at is police report numbers

Did you miss these other crimes in Castlewoods?

There was another article that quoted one of the thiefs saying they came to Rankin county because they know people don’t lock their doors like they do in Jackson.

RANKIN COUNTY, Miss. (WJTV) — The Rankin County Sheriff’s Department arrested several people including one juvenile in connection with several auto burglaries.

They are still looking for Curtis Schottel Wilson in connection with a home burglary.

Deputies said on the night of May 1, at least 12 vehicles were burglaries in the Castlewoods subdivision; one home was also burglarized.

We’re told the next day, Emily Grace Turlington was arrested after attempting to use a stolen credit card in Jackson. Authorities connected her to the auto burglaries.

Further investigation determined that Heather Blair Miller and Ronald Jermain Wilson were also present while attempting to use the victim’s stolen credit cards, authorities said. They were also arrested and charged with auto burglary.

Based on new information, Rankin County Investigators along with Hinds County Deputies responded to an address on Benning Road in Hinds County looking for two brothers, Kaleb Montory Montgomery and his juvenile brother. We’re told Montgomery will be tried as an adult because deputies said he was out on felony bond for armed robbery in Jackson that occurred in September of 2016.

Although the brothers were not home, investigators said they located and recovered property previously reported stolen from Rankin County.

On May 4, 2017, Hinds County Deputies stopped a vehicle with the brothers inside of it. They were both were arrested on site for the warrants out of Rankin County, officials said.

Investigators also learned that Curtis Schottel Wilson was involved the in burglaries. They said he has now been identified as the person who entered a house in Castlewoods.

Authorities said the arrest of these suspects solves burglaries in Rankin County, Ridgeland, and Hinds County. The arrest of these four adults and one juvenile solves twelve auto burglaries in Rankin along with one residential burglary alone. The total number of auto burglaries could approach twenty, according to the sheriff’s department.

Yes, but I'm really not much of a TV watcher to begin with outside of sports. Cord cutting was pretty easy for me in the grand scheme.

I don't think having to go back almost 2 years to produce an example of 12 home burglaries is helping your case much.

 

[JoMo MoJo]

To me that proves Rankin County doesn’t play.

I don't think having to go back almost 2 years to produce an example of 12 home burglaries is helping your case much.

I proved that burglaries happen in 39047 when another person says they don’t happen. What’s your point? Is the home invasion in Reservoir East last year not up to par....go look at City Data for Flowood and Brandon if you’re bored.

Any person who thinks they are immune to property theft and burglaries in Rankin County/ Brandon / 39047 are just plain stupid.
