UCLA Science Lab Students Watched In Horror As Male Classmate Slashed Female Student's Throat
Spencer Weiner, Anthony Pesce, Andrew Blankstein and Larry Gordon Los Angeles Times Staff Writers October 8, 2009
Students in the UCLA science lab described the horrifying moments this afternoon when a male classmate slashed the throat of a female student, who was critically injured.
One student who was inside the lab when the attack occurred shortly after noon told The Times that he looked up as the assailant appeared to repeatedly punch the victim. Then the man calmly turned and walked away as the victim lay bleeding profusely.
Law enforcement sources said some type of verbal altercation occurred just before the attack, but the relationship, if any, between the assailant and the victim was unclear.
Witnesses said they saw a woman staggering out of the sixth-floor Young Hall lab with a teacher's assistant applying pressure to her bloody neck moments after the attack, which was reported at 12:21 p.m.
The victim, whose name was withheld, was taken to Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, where she apparently was undergoing surgery.

The attacker should be taking a dirt nap RFN.
Basic problems is the government isn't doing its job to enslave er...I mean protect us.
I read that the victim is doing ok after surgery, btw.
I can't find any news on how she it doing, but at least at UCLA there would have been no trouble quickly finding good surgeons.
Any bets on the assailant being a member of the R.O.P.?
ACORN affirmative action student?
Same incident here:

Well, his name is not Mohammed. But they can recruit him while he’s rotting in prison.
Right. It's not like quantitative analysis.

SNIPPET: “One witness inside the lab told The Times that the alleged assailant, a 20-year-old male student in the class, walked up to the 20-year-old female victim and appeared to repeatedly punch her. The witness said he realized it was more serious when she slumped over, bleeding profusely from her neck.
Police have booked Damon D. Thompson on suspicion of attempted murder.”
Have fun in prison, dude.
The dude “calmly walked away...”?
Was there one single decent pair of testicles in that room?
Jeesh!!
The students were probably in shock...and also focused on the injured student.
I would guess that the incident was so astounding that everyone was just shocked.
They must’ve thought it was part of the curriculum.
Why can’t we know his name?
You allready know the answer...but dont want to leap to conclusions...
*snicker*
me neither...but I suspect he wasnt amish...
Some kind of foul up in the admissions office. The slashers are supposed to go to USC.
Initially I thought it was going to be one of those Chinese science rivalries.
