At his Future of the City blog, Conor Friedersdorf links to an Atlantic magazine piece from 2008 on a new suburban crime wave. Definitely worth reading.

Borat, Art, and the Eye of the Beholder
Borat: “I do a picture, only small, of the Tishnik Masacre. Where many Uzbeks…crushed!”
Kindly Gray Hippie: “How did you feel when you drew this?”
Borat: “Very proud!”.
KGH: “I’m just listening with sadness…a little sadness for your people…?”
Borat: “Yes…no, it is not sad. It is us who do the kill!”
When in doubt, consult the classics [5:30 mark].

Section 8, another waste of tax money by fuzzy headed liberals. As if you can take criminals out of the ghetto and they will stop being criminals. At least Memphis can provide lots of footage for my favorite TV show, The First 48.
@Scott,
Only if you like old cases. Our city council thought it was bad press for us and directed the police to stop working with the show in 2007.

@ThatPirateGuy,
I’m sorry to hear that Memphis is no longer participating. Thank goodness that places like Detroit still have lots of crime. Although I hear A&E was filming when the police raid that involved the death of the young girl.
