Jeremy Lee Blum, 30, Mandan, was formally charged with reckless endangerment Thursday, according to the clerk of Southeast Judicial District Court.

So you’re putting a break-in and this stand-off against the crimes committed in Fargo/Moorhead?
I think Fargo is a great city, but you are wrong. Again.
Hot debate. What do you think?

If you look at the Forum website, you’ll see now stories about robberies, home invasions, or armed standoff that occurred recently.
I see you’ve learned the Jamestown propaganda spin too. Find a way to deny that anything bad ever happens in Jamestown.
You may as well admit it, stuff like this happens in Jamestown too, not just Fargo.

I never once denied things don’t happen in Jamestown. You changed your argument because you are wrong. I see you’re the one who’s gotten the spin on propaganda down.

I’ve seen several people here who claimed things like this never happen in Jamestown, and I was merely pointing out that things not only happen here, but since Jamestown has 1/10th the population of the Fargo metro area, that the crime rate seems rather high in Jamestown.
Nothing has changed in my argument.

Seems all you want to do is argue and I’m not getting down in the dirt with you. Crime happens in Jamestown just like anywhere else and it happens just as often as anywhere else. Lately it appears to be happening a lot more often.
That’s the very point I’ve always stated.

Fred,
Don’t forget about the recent alleged incident with the JPS teacher. That’s another thing that doesn’t happen in Jamestown.

Fred, be glad the local law enforcement was able to confine the person and no one was injured or worse.
But again, it wouldn’t be your nature.

I feel the man just screwed up, but it’s wrong for him to be publicly criticized because he ended his troubles in such a manner. It’s unfortunate, but does anyone else think that if the man would have just done it rather than put the gun down everyone wouldn’t be making such a big deal about it? Suicide happens. So he has a legal history….which is common with people who have these types of issues. Wasn’t the wisest choice but some people think that way. I’m glad everyone’s okay including this man. It’s just unfortunate that because he survived he’s going to endure all this criticism when really all he needed was some help.

I don’t even consider this a ‘Jamestown’ crime. It was a Highway Patrol stop on the interstate. He attempted to avoid law enforcement by coming into Jamestown and was arrested here that’s all.

Fred,
There is no way you can compare the two, every evening on the news they talk about something that happened in fargo, (bar fight, stabbing, shooting, invasion, robbery, etc…………) In fact on the am radio just last week they were warning people in a neighborhood in fargo to keep doors locked because they had so many home invasions in that week!!!!! Oh by the way fred, UND just had a drug bust.
Norm,
You are right on the money with your statement, this crime had nothing to do with Jamestown, the HP just happened to stop him outside of town and then was pursued into Jamestown, the individual could have just of easily stopped in any other town. In fact if Fred had read anything about the story the individual from this case was from Dickinson not Jamestown.

Another thing, since the individual in the armed standoff was from Dickinson, it wasn’t Jamestown’s problem, even though the crime was committed here?
Well, I guess the next time someone drives to Fargo and commits an armed robbery, we’ll have to remember that it’s not a “Fargo” crime.
The way Jamestown people spin propaganda is sad. It’s only a Jamestown crime if you live there. I guess than your crime rate should be low, no one lives there any more, as evidenced by the last 3 census’s.

What do you always say things as though you still live in Jamestown? You have done this in several past posts and for some reason continue to do so.
Example: “Another thing, since the individual in the armed standoff was from Dickinson, it wasn’t Jamestown’s problem, even though the crime was committed here?” (I’m referring to you talking about the crime being committed ‘here’.)
Just a question, no need to over-react…

Since it’s a Jamestown based website, when I’m “here”, I refer to things that happen in Jamestown as “here”.
Don’t worry, I don’t secretly reside in Jamestown. I was very happy when we moved out.

Hey Fred, Fargo had an attempted robbery at a McDonalds. Didn’t read anything like that happening in Jamestown over the weekend.

Yea, but that guy was from Duluth, so it CAN’T be a Fargo robbery. Read some of those posts from Jamestown people. The guy that did the armed standoff was from Dickinson, so it’s not a Jamestown crime.
I actually love these new Jamestown rules. Pawn off your problems on some other town.

But the guy trying to rob the McDonalds was from Duluth so it’s not really a Fargo problem.

It’s funny you should use the word spin, you’ve gotten pretty good at it. How can a few events in the last few weeks “Seem to be a daily thing here.”?
And it doesn’t matter where the guy is from, what’s important is that it was a Highway Patrol stop where the suspect came into Jamestown in his attempt to flee. Next you will say that if they should find evidence in the river from a crime that happened in Fargo then that it is a Jamestown crime as well.
You’ll find any reason to bash Jamestown and that’s all it is.

Fred,
Grow up, I am not attacking you so stop getting so defensive. AHHHHHHHHHHH ya casue jamestown has a dive team, learn the facts before blabbing, also this pertains to a past crime not a new crime, and why not ask for help with the search?
I get that fargo has waaaaaaayyyyy more people wooopeeeeee, thats why I don’t want to live there, try and understand that some people like to live at a little slower pace than that found in Fargo. So what you are saying is that Jamestown technically has a higher crime rate than Fargo??? So what, that still means we have far less crime here than in Fargo, obviously if there are 13. whatever more people you will have far more crimes commited per year, so it stands to reason that Jamestown is a safer place to live than Fargo!!!!!!
Why would Jamestown have a tv newscast, seriously.
You are the one spinning propaganda, all I meant by saying that he was from Dickinson is that the crime could have happened anywhere along I-94, yes it happene in Jamestown, I never eluded to the fact that it didn’t have anything to do with Jamestown.

Nice personal attack.
Now to the facts. Dive team. Fargo had to come in, so obviously Jamestown couldn’t do it. I suppose it’s a “Fargo” crime since the Fargo team was here.
Using your rational, if someone pulled into Jamestown off the Interstate and massacred 10 people, it wouldn’t be a Jamestown crime because he came off the Interstate? You have the strangest rationale I have ever seen.
Of course the reason Jamestown has no television news is it has no people. It’s practically the only city in the top 10 that has the same population it had in 1960.
Now go study up on what “per capita” crime means.

Ohh also, violent crime rate in Jamestown was 34% lower than the state rate, and the property crime rate in Jamestown was 8 % higher than the state rate.

I am hoping the rest of the post before this one shows up, I had lots of stats for you fred, in case it doesn’t, in a nut shell jamestown crime rate per capita is actually lower than that of fargo. In fact fargo was alot higher in violen crime and property crime than jamestown and the state average.
Also the median house income in jamestown was only 6000 lower per year than that of fargo, however the cost of living in fargo was at 101 and in jamestown it was 80 the national average is 100.
