You think this couldn't have happened at 3 in the afternoon. Everyone knows why the Cotton District has these incidents from time to time.

Thugs from Noxubee Co. fighting over a girl.

The police have a presence in the cotton district. Hell I think there is a police substation in the apartment next door to two brothers

That was the rule for my kids when they were school age - nothing good happens after midnight!

This is the Unfortunate Truth. Some shit has NO perfect / utopian solution; only the one that results in less pain for society. The "war on drugs" is just as much a joke as the "war on poverty". Sorry, I've been to Amsterdam and I'll take that city over Chicago every day of the week and twice on Sundays.

You are correct. Socialist countries sometimes produce a good one. Chicago isn't that bad, if you stay to the better parts of the town during the day.

Just hate to see the Cotton District having violence issues though because that is THE primary off-campus area that has food and entertainment for students and alums to hang out at and enjoy. Would be easier to understand if it was happening in some thuggish neighborhood in a different part of town.

There definitely has been an increase in gang activity in the district over the past year it’s easy to see some nights

Dealing drugs retail doesn't require gangs. I've known plenty of affluent people that do drugs and they don't deal with gang bangers. It's a lot of work, and it comes with political blowback because you are going to hassle some students and non-dealing, non-carrying people, but the starkville police/city government can chase those elements out of the cotton district if they decide they want to.

Yes, locals. This is why we can't have nice things.

Now it's "I have no idea what happens after 10pm because I'm already asleep."

I don't even think they were Starkville locals. I believe they were non-students from out of town.

A lot of Starkville crime such as break-ins, burglary, and gun violence comes from Clay and Lowndes county and surrounding areas. It's a recurring issue so it is important to note
