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?
