VCU is in downtown Richmond. It hasn't yet been cleared of the indigenous population who, for a while, had America's NUMBER ONE MURDER RATE.

Frankly, the VCU administration and the State Legislature should get on with it.

The VCU campus and a considerable percentage of available student housing, both university owned and private, is in the immediate downtown crime ridden inner-city.

This university is an attempt to build a new urban campus in an existing city-scape.

In general, if you discount the murders, it's pretty crime free ~ just like DC.

Not again. It seems another student is murdered senselessly every week by these scumbucket dregs of society.

It seems like a good time for all students to start packing heat.

VCU is a combination of what was formerly a hodgepodge of university level schools, parts of schools, professional studies schools, a medical school, etc.

No doubt one of the old pre-desegregation institutions was included in the new university.

I think if you look this up on the Internet you can pick up on all the names of all the places brought into VCU. It's not exactly an old school ~ a counterpart, both in terms of period of existence as well as socio-economic-geographic location is IUPUI, or Indiana University and Purdue University at Indianapolis. There are some other schools like this around the country. They can work provided they are extensively policed and have lots of garage parking.

It's worth noting that a good number of America's top schools have "downtown" locations, and are dangerous as HE!! at night. Carnegie-Mellon, Yale, .... UCLA (on the non-Beverly Hills perimeters). Yale just announced a multi-billion dollar dormitory construction project so they can get their students out of some of the very dangerous neighborhoods in New Haven.

BLACKS KILLING WHITES - The same anger Preched by Rev. Wright.

Too bad these two students weren’t armed and locked and loaded.

It sure seems like it’s open season on college students.

Even thugs know to go where the money is. With the unreasonablely high cost of higher education it's not hard for them to reason out that these college kids have money and things that thugs want. Add in the jelousness that thugs have who dropped out of school because their culture has told them that education was not kweel and you have a bedrock of inculcated hatred that has bubbled to the top of the media in the RAT primary race (That's why their leaders want the race ended ASAP). These things must be swept under the media rug in order for the RATS to maintain control. Much like 9/11 was swept under the rug. For the RATS, the sooner the better so that the sheeple can be lulled back into complacency.

Hopefully, when this scumbag is tried and convicted, there will never be a Howard Reed Scott IV!!!

"VCU is a former all-Black university."

When? VCU used to be RPI - Richmond Polytecnic Institute - an art school going back as long as I can remember, with middle class white left-wing students into art, poetry, music, writing, etc., and lots of drugs even back before my time. My college (not RPI) roomate's father was a locally famous professional Richmond water color artist who went there in the '30's who used to reminisce over his college days there. There were very few black students in attendance in the '60's before it became VCU, a state university.

These days if he’s over thirteen there probably already is.

This girl is beyond clueless. Doesn't anyone else remember the horrific torture murder in Tennessee - which walked like a hate crime, and talked like a hate crime?

I think her friend may have saved her from some torture.

She's still in a bubble. People who are responsible to conceal carry do not place themselves in situations where they'd have to even act to protect themselves. City park after midnight -- what? You think the world revolves around you? Same people who think they own the road...

Agree completely.

Personally I think people with CCW should *start* exercising their rights to be anywhere they want to be at any time - and if they have to cap a few bad guys, too bad.

Of course, this depends upon not being persecuted by the authorities for doing their jobs.

Don't let anyone tell you that the kind of hate speech preached by Wright—hate speech to which Obama willingly exposed his two once innocent daughters—does not have consequences. Although the MSM attempts to hide the fact, Black on white crime is at epidemic proportions. It is easy to pull the trigger or wield the knife when the victim has been demonized as an “oppressor.”

Interracial crime is (virtually) a one way street
Never in a zillion years will that fraud Obama address this fact

A google search for -- color of crime --- will give you an idea how one sided rape, violent crimes and assaults are. These are FBI statistics that are buried. The unpleasant truth gets buried

I think aculeus may be mistaking VCU for VUU (Virginia Union University), an historically black university in Richmond.

Another black on white crime that the MSM will not report. Have you noticed that if a white attacked a black then it would be front page news. But if a black attacks a white then it is not news...not only "front page news", but also and especially "a hate crime" - this week in Philly four black high school students picked "at random" a white Starbucks manager getting on a subway in center city and beat him to death for a lark - "an unfortunate incident" said the black mayor of Philadelphia - but no mention of hate crime - more Black Liberation Theology hits the real world.......

Posted on FR anywhere?...Didn't see it anywhere - latest today is that a bunch of Guardian Angels led by Curtis Sliwa himself rolled into town to take up watch on the subway platforms in center city Philly - those interviewed on local TV said they were feeling safer already.........
