One incident and it is a city under attack? Looks like it is not having an effect on MSU as they just announced record Spring enrollment over 16,000.

....He.... he was being sarcastic....

Yes, I know. I just couldn't resist lol. He knows how to make issues go hyper! One thing is true though, is that the illegal population is becoming a problem in Montana and I would say all States. This is not just a Bozeman issue.

Love that vigilante angle, People's Camp. When people get fed up with ineffective, non-existent, or corrupt officials, they are going to solve the problems themselves. Worked for Bannack and Alder Gulch long ago, it can work now.

Bozeman enrollment is up due to a lot more than MSU being a “top notch” educational facility. Bozo itself is the draw for many affluent out of state folks. The mountains, skiing and all things that Bozeman now has to offer. MSU has benefited from Bozeman being a destination city. Good for them and way to capitalize on the good fortune. I just laugh when MSU fans crow about enrollment, acting like they are Harvard, Yale or Brown.

As a Montana citizen and taxpayer, I am tired of pouring money into MSU. I personally feel enrollment should be capped and preference given to in state students.

Missoula #8, Bozeman not rated. :roll:

This is the most recent data there is. it comes from the end of 2023, considering we're a little over half through the month of Feb. I doubt much has changed if at all.

I think both UM and MSU go after out of state students for much needed revenue. I don't think either school does it at the expense of in state students. MSU has done an overall much better job than UM in attracting high school seniors. Since Bodnar has come on board it appears UM has improved in this area. Hopefully that trend continues with UM. I was not crowing about MSU's enrollment. I merely stated that they reached a new Spring semester record.

I still get missoulian emails and it use to shock me of all the major crimes that I hear about compared to what made the cover 25 years ago. Sadly it doesn't shock me anymore.

Wrong-o. Again, Bouche.
“Never in a million years” but times have changed in the slow cow town of Bozangeleez:
“We were like oh my gosh what’s going on? So, we stepped out and we saw cops everywhere and then of course they were heading to that house,” said Jennifer Bilbao, a Bozeman resident.

Bozeman Police and the Gallatin County Special Response team were tracking persons of interest in an attempted homicide case Wednesday morning.

As Bilbao watched the unsettling scene unfold from her apartment window.

“Who knows what’s going to happen or not going to happen. They all had guns drawn, it was kind of a scary situation,” said Bilbao.

Neighbors heard a flashbang go off.

“Never in a million years would I expect to see something like that. It’s a movie thing not a local neighborhood thing,” said Bilbao.

Bozeman Police say alleged stabbing incidents show increase in violent crime is likely as city grows
“Anybody who would see these injuries would be taken aback by the damage an edged weapon can do,” said Bozeman Police Detective Captain Dana McNeil.

25-year-old Andres Gonzalez and 21-year-old Santiago Echeverri were arrested on Wednesday in connection with two stabbings that happened early Saturday morning.

BOZEMAN — Court documents say a fight last Saturday between a group of men ended up involving a box cutter, a hammer, and a wooden chisel—an eventful night that days later led to a standoff in a Bozeman neighborhood.

“Anybody who would see these injuries would be taken aback by the damage an edged weapon can do,” said Bozeman Police Detective Captain Dana McNeil.

25-year-old Andres Gonzalez and 21-year-old Santiago Echeverri were arrested on Wednesday in connection with two stabbings that happened early Saturday morning.

According to court documents, a man was walking home from downtown when two Hispanic men jumped out of their vehicle and began attacking him with knives and hammers at the corner of Bozeman and Olive, leaving him with cuts to most of his body and a deep laceration on his face.

Court documents say eventually, the men stopped attacking him to chase another person. That victim told police he and some friends were involved in a fight with the attackers earlier outside a downtown bar.

After the fight, the second victim and his friends allegedly left the scene while the two suspects began driving after them.


According to court documents, the suspects caught up with them and cut the second victim several times. The attackers then left the scene.

Early Wednesday morning, an officer on patrol spotted the suspect vehicle, a Nissan Armada near East Story Street in Bozeman.

A woman living nearby watched it all go down from her window. In a video she took, you can see Bozeman Police and Gallatin County's Special Response Team surrounding a home where 17 people were detained. According to Captain McNeil, Gonzalez and Echeverri were the only two men arrested.

“The rest of them were released,” said Captain McNeil.

According to the charging documents, Gonzales told police he and Echeverri used a box cutter and chisel in the attacks.

In court Thursday, Gonzalez and Echeverri each had their bail set at $300,000.

Gallatin County arrest records also indicate that both men are subject to an immigration detainer from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, also known as an ICE hold.

“I think that as we grow as a city, we’re going to see more violent crime,” said Captain McNeil. “And we’re going to have more issues like this.”

Great thread here fella. An all timer.

He did it specifically for allllll the scat fans that for whatever reason, can’t stay off eGriz. I’ve heard there’s a scat fan firum too. Maybe I’ll check it out some day, then again, why would I want to go to some other teams forum I don’t care about.

Thanks for bumping. This topic is important to all BSC fans and we should keep it at the top. If the treacherous bleachers at RFS stadia don’t get you, the street thugs will. Do you agree visiting fans should think twice before attending?

Long gone are the sleepy days of your quaint ski town, replaced by poor policies and mismanagement which invited the dangers to our fine state that is spilling over into other communities. What are you guys doing to clean it up?

I did not realize there were multiple drive-by stabbings. Did you? There were at least three incidents. First a fight, then the multiple drive-by’s.

Jeesh it sounds like Randall Flagg's New Vegas over there

Local news story, Jolee Sallee, KBZK News, I merely used bold type for the ending quote.

My intent in the O.P. was just to get a rise out of scat trolls who come to eGriz just to sh*t in our pool. The connection to drunken scat coaches was just bait, chumming the waters.

This and other incidents have shown the problem to be much more than adult stupidity. The tentacles of the cartels are in our backyard. Only about a thousand air miles north of the border. All of Montana is involved, not just Bozeman. Troy to Alzada, Westby to West Yellowstone. These two illegal aliens just came to Bozo for the skiing, other outdoor activities, and a intellectually stimulating environment, right?
