Imagine that, when rich and vibrant people get rich and vibrant, people get shot.

Police were dispatched to Bojangles at 2:37 a.m. after receiving reports of a fight and subsequent gunshots fired inside the club, and then outside the club, located on the corner of South Cushman Street and Airport Way. When police arrived they found two gunshot victims. McCulloch said it is not clear whether the first victim was dead on arrival, or if the victim died at the hospital. An ambulance transported them to Fairbanks Memorial Hospital. The second victim had life-threatening injuries and is listed in critical condition. A third victim drove himself to FMH to receive treatment for a minor gunshot wound. In a phone interview McCulloch said nobody had been arrested as of 10:40 a.m., and police are still investigating. McCulloch said FPD urges anyone with video footage of the shooting to send it to [email protected] |

Michael Jeremy Hodges, 27, of Fairbanks, died at Fairbanks Memorial Hospital despite the lifesaving efforts of a good Samaritan, emergency medical services and emergency room doctors, according to a FPD news release.
Jesse Craig Anderson, 25, of Fairbanks, is in critical condition and remains in the intensive care unit at FMH. Breannah Jayde Mitchell, 22, drove herself to the hospital and was treated for a minor gun shot wound and released. Quoted:
Same guy who owned Rock n' Rodeo and Hideout. Surprised? I know who you are talking about, but for the life of me his name is skipping my mind. Gotta agree though, have a shitty club, expect shitty clientele. Then again, if I were going to a club, I'd expect piano, lounge singers, marble counters, and black tie requirements. |

Crime is rising almost exactly matching when the crime bill passed. We have had 500 more cases this summer overall than last and the bulk of those were in August. Serious crimes are going up too car thefts assaults etc. Not just petty stuff.

Everyone agrees the crime bill was an insanely bad idea, but .gov knows what they are doing. 
And they wonder why the numbers for people leaving state are shooting up this year. Fuck people by raising crime, lowering the PFD, etc. Fewer and fewer incentives to stay in state. |

Alaska Senate Bill 91 It significantly changed the criminal justice system Raised the threshold for crimes to bump to next level of seriousness Essentially made misdemeanor crimes ticketable (non-arrestable) offense Lowered the bail requirements Lowered Sentencing You can now refuse to blow on an intox and not lose your license if you are not convicted of DUI I am sure Pat can give you some more insight It was sold as a way to reduce the cost of housing prisoners when in reality it just shifts the cost to LE who must continually deal with these people and the communities who are seeing crime blow through the roof |

Not showing up to court is a violation (ticket) and no longer criminal under this bill. Driving on a suspended DL in most cases now is a traffic ticket just like running a stop sign. |

Serious crimes are going up too car thefts assaults etc. Not just petty stuff. Pat Which is directly offset by the increased burden on the LE Which is small compared to the cost imposed on honest residents. For every fix a junkie gets, some property owner paid for that fix several times over by a break in or theft. That cost is multiplied by the cost of replacement or upgraded security in some fasion. We even have to watch our trash so the wrong people don't steal it for identity theft purposes. There is also the corrosive effect on the community. There are parts of the Matsu Valley I would not knock on doors for fear of getting shot by a homeowner. My wife drives slow, and drove slow through Victoria Estates when she got yelled at by a homeowner for casing out the neighborhood. It shocked her to catch that kind of abuse. But this is not news. This cause and effect - and the reverse - have been seen many times over decades anywhere there is a budget crunch, most famously (and pretty recent) in NYC. |

The "cost" is the quality of life. However we will be seeing more incidents like the one recently in Anchorage where the homeowner confronted people attempting to break into his truck. Shot the bad guy multiple times.

I keep wondering why we don't have mandatory sentencing for some of these crimes? Why are we letting judges create a revolving door? Force the Legislative Branch to work on what decisions need to be taken away from the judges or DA's that perpetuate this mess and put these criminals away. What am I missing here?
