Last I heard that is a round about number on how many burglaries we have a month in Memphis, business and residential. It may even ease some of the jail crowding problem though I must say judges here do not consider burglary a very serious crime. I have seen juveniles on many occaissions ransack and pillage a house and get nothing more than probation even though they are caught red handed,deny it pleading not guilty, the attorney is allowed to change the plea 3/4 of the way through the trial b/c he knows they will lose and that is that. probation, and maybe a couple of hundred bucks to the homeowner to clean up the mess and fix a door or window. money they will probably not get. no wonder these juveniles and adults alike laugh walking out of court. oh well I'm movin.</description></item><item><title>re: Two Accused Burglars Shot; One Dead</title><link>http://community.myeyewitnessnews.com/blogs/speakup/archive/2008/01/24/2426230.aspx#2426966</link><pubDate>Thu, 24 Jan 2008 17:07:19 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">c55e6020-de53-4b6c-990f-08fb9756fadd:2426966</guid><dc:creator>Bartlettman</dc:creator><description>Way to go!!! &amp;nbsp;stand up people, protect yourselves!</description></item><item><title>re: Two Accused Burglars Shot; One Dead</title><link>http://community.myeyewitnessnews.com/blogs/speakup/archive/2008/01/24/2426230.aspx#2427017</link><pubDate>Thu, 24 Jan 2008 17:16:52 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">c55e6020-de53-4b6c-990f-08fb9756fadd:2427017</guid><dc:creator>Jet</dc:creator><description>It's about time people started wising up and protecting themselves. &amp;nbsp;Innocent citizens of memphis have allowed themselves to be victimized for far too long, and act so suprised when crime happens to them. &amp;nbsp;Criminals should be shown no mercy, and citizens of Memphis should realize theat crime is not just a job for the police: so help take back your city: be the first to shoot. &amp;nbsp;I just hope the DA dismisses anyone trying to bring charges against these two citizens.</description></item><item><title>re: Two Accused Burglars Shot; One Dead</title><link>http://community.myeyewitnessnews.com/blogs/speakup/archive/2008/01/24/2426230.aspx#2427180</link><pubDate>Thu, 24 Jan 2008 17:44:04 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">c55e6020-de53-4b6c-990f-08fb9756fadd:2427180</guid><dc:creator>Static</dc:creator><description>For the people who protect themselves Watch &amp;quot;Personal Defense TV&amp;quot; on the outdoor channel very informative.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Vehicle Defense - Criminals attack people in their vehicles.
