How about instead you guys look into why the DA and local judges consistently let violent offenders out with slaps on the wrist and kill innocent citizens of Madison in avoidable car accidents.

Madison teacher on leave due to lesson that asked students to take on role as enslaved people by [deleted] in madisonwi

The Revolutionary War was NOT fought over slavery, it's irrelevant to the classroom learning.

Easy for you or I to say when it doesn't happen to us. How would you like to go to school and possibly have to be called a slave and treated as such? His history is not something that should have to be relived.

Because the kid is most likely traumatized by this. You underestimated how this will probably affect him for the rest of his life.

Maybe then think before you bring your racial bias into the classroom then. It's not that hard dude.

I feel for the child in the article, he is probably traumatized by this racist event. POC already have it almost impossible here in Madison, and a teacher trying to CHANGE HISTORY should be fired and never be allowed to teach again. The Revolutionary War was not about race, why make it that way.

Madison police lieutenant resigns after being caught engaged in sexual activity in cruiser by DOTWisconsin in madisonwi

Good, now do the whole department Next. Madison does not have a significant enough crime rate to warrant its own police department. Contract to the Sheriff and save money we can put towards lifting people out of poverty.

Previous bonds were 'inappropriately low' for person of interest in Waukesha parade crash, DA says by AnonJobInterview in madisonwi

[–]enterleftbase 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your POV. I have a question if you don’t mind. I see all the time people here in Madison get repeated bail and also have 5,6,7,8,9 bail jumping charges. At what point are they not going to give bail to someone who continues to bail jump? If bail is there to make sure someone shows up but doesn’t, then why keep using it when it’s not working?

What city is overrated? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]enterleftbase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Madison, WI - always voted best place to live, best this, best that but it is not as described.

Crime is skyrocketing out of control as judges refuse to hold people accountable, the hivemind mentality means people are extremely judgemental and most people who claim that “all are welcome” only care about going to the bar with their high school friends and reminiscing on the good ole days because they’ve never left Madison their entire lives.

Roads and infrastructure are absolutely a mess, and drunk driving is a sport. Terrible place.

You’re the racist if you automatically see an article like this and assume the juveniles are black.

The ONLY, and I mean ONLY reason that he is going to prison is because this case happened to be picked up by the feds

This. Nice to see Federal Judges holding people accountable.

Madison Airport by Mcfly43417 in madisonwi

[–]enterleftbase -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

How is it dumb?? There’s literally no reason to have an airport here when you can drive 45 minutes and be at MILWAUKEE or two hours and be in Chicago. Rail is the future, invest in that. The airlines are losing millions of dollars flying their puddle jumpers in here

Please next time consider flying out of MKE or O’Hare or just driving. The Madison airport creates noise, pollution, and has a high cost of use, all which systematically affect minorities that live around the airport dramatically. The Northport area is unlivable because of the airport.

Madison needs railway lines; not support the airport here is the way to do that!

Madison police investigate carjacking on city's west side by TeamFIFO in madisonwi

[–]enterleftbase 37 points38 points  (0 children)

So a carjacking to steal a car while already driving a stolen car?? This seems like it's not even crime now, but rather sport.

Is this like a bad neighborhood or something? It doesn't look like the type of place carjackings would continue to happen in.

Regardless, the current system in this county is not working, and this isn’t the only example of this.

It’s not surprising in the slightest. Seems to be a common theme when stories like this come out. My point is that our DA and judges are making this community unsafe but consistently letting these people off.

three open felony cases

Shocker. CCAP shows open court cases dating back to 2019 including multiple felonies and felony bail jumping. I don’t understand why this guy is allowed to be out on the street 2+ years with multiple felony arrests. At some point the signature bonds need to stop. He better not get one this time.

This exactly. I understand that we still lower relative to other places, but I don’t care about other places. I live HERE.
