I must agree. I hope the poor American taxpayer is up to the job. I suppose they will be until indoor plumbing is considered the zenith for all of us. I’m glad I’m old but so sad for my chidren and grandchildren. I got to live in the good times thanks to patriots like my dad. I could have done more to prevent the current state of affairs I suppose but it’s too late now.

No. No capiche, no agreement.

There are many places less safe that a college campus. However, there are few places as continually populated with young women as a college campus. You’re confusing opportunity with causality.

The perp was, from all reports, a ticking time bomb. He could have killed anyone, anywhere, anytime. This, like many other crimes of violence, could as easily have happened on a parking lot or in a commercial district.

I’m sincerely sorry that this young woman was his victim, but misplacing blame on the college is not helpful.

I have no connection with UT and have a certain antipathy for many of their administrations’ hijinks over the past several years. However, this is not their fault.

From your posts, it's obvious you have a stake in defending college campuses. I don't. I just signed up for a culinary degree at my local college. A huge campus with large tracts of land that lead from one building to another. Absolutely promising night time trouble - which is why I made sure to sign up for only day classes. The parking lot is far from where I'm taking my labs and I'm not happy to walk there in December at 5:30pm.

People smarter than me have told you what they think. Have you addressed the hidden crime statistics of colleges?

I’m glad I saw the heyday of the 1980s, but also glad my children didn’t; they would this so grim. Nobody alone could have changed this; your contribution of children, if matched by many others, should have been sufficient!

...likelyhood of getting ‘zimmermanned’ for defense of one’s self has emboldened perpetrators.

“Meechaiel” has not yet seen his eighteenth birthday.

Our masters in black robes have decreed he must die of old age.

Haruka is half white, half Japanese and her name is of Japanese origin. From what I know, she at least identifies with her Japanese side; she mentioned wanting to visit her relatives in Japan before she was killed. She understands the meaning behind her name, Haruka. Also, it’s kind of a big deal someone has died on the UT campus. Noone was killed there since Charles Whitman had his mass shooting there in 1966. As much as I agree there are a lot of black on white crimes on the news, I don’t think this one applies.

In today’s world, non-Africans are considered white. The half Mexican that mercifully rid the world of the Trayvon goon was identified as white by the old media.

You’re going for a culinary degree? How cool!

We visited the CIA campus upstate and were really impressed with their campus and programs.

Are you looking to become a chef? Will you still do theatre?

See ya’,

I’m not going to the CIA, lol, 65,000 a year!

No, I’m going to a local technical college for the standard 2 year degree if I can make it. Yes, I still do theater but I let my husband take care of most of that now. The collaborative process has begun to wear thin...
