The other day (10/21) I witnessed what I thought looked like a stand-off in Charlotte area around Pleasant View Place , I would say there were more than 20 + Police SUV's a few Fire / Rescue vehicles and Officers with Assault rifles ,Bullet proof shields and bullet proof jackets walking toward a home, I was told there was a person with a gun and I left, I saw or heard nothing on the news or in the Villages news??? what else don't we know about? subjective news??

Was every crime or domestic incident or police call for non criminal incidents , mental
health issues or alcohol reported in your town of. Mayberry ???

The Sun Times has no interest in reporting crimes

[Mortal1]

we all know about a gazillion times less than we think. we live on the surface of a world wide of unimagined depths...most, if not all, of the problems we face are driven by power(no, not the sunny or windy kind).

Power, in times of yore, was fairly localized(except for a few exceptions: ie: the romans). Now with facts, data, info flying through the ether at light speed it's impossible for the everyday person to have a clue as to what's truly happening. we certainly won't find out from the flat screens or the internet. it is really weird. I should have taken the blue pill.....

If you read the sun times everything in TV is prefect of course its own by the developer. If you read the villages news it reports on crimes but not just in the villages but in the general area also

Sun Times??

How much news of violent behavior do we need to read or hear about? Go on the internet, watch the daily news casts on television and listen to the radio, you will soon over dose on all the bad things going on in the world. It's kinda nice to read a newspaper that isn't all doom and gloom and glorification of thuggery. Do you drive on the interstate hoping to see blood, hair, teeth and eyeballs spread over the road surface from a vehicle accident? A morbid attitude in my opinion.

Silly me always thought a newspaper is supposed to report the news.

If you are really interested, sign up for email alerts from SpotCrime. You plug in YOU address and it gives you email notification of crimes within a 5 mile radius of your address.

So far the only thing I have seen have been MVA accidents, golf cart accidents, and animal complaints for our 5 mile area....remember too, Blotter kind of calls and actual CRIMES are not always just what warrants a "crime" vs blotter entry

[Topspinmo]

Maybe it was faults alarm, maybe the got the wrong address? I sure it there was crime someone would of been arrested. The only way news get reports are from police filed reports ( public information), drive by’s, or eves dropping on radio. Just cause you didn’t read about don’t mean it wasn’t handled correctly.

[Luggage]

Crime reports are public excluding names and addresses, there are various websites that will send you reports daily or weekly.

Also newspapers and blogs are for profit usually and I know for a fact that newspapers have pretty strict internal roles as far as how much content versus how much advertising they can print because of the cost of the newspaper itself

And so it does. From the hundreds of events to choose from maybe not the types of reports you prefer.

I would certainly want to know about crime taking place in my own back yard. Crime is up significantly, including here in TV. Lots of domestic violence in America’s Friendliest Home Town, fights at the squares and people passed out behind City Fire or Cody’s. You won’t read about it in the Daily Sun. It’s all about rainbows, sunshine and living the dream.
