No description of the perp, even though the article suggests that there were plenty of witnesses.

It will be interesting to see who the perp was considering that Storrs, CT is in the middle of nowhere. Not a big crime culture among the bovines.

Geeze. This sucks. This stuff just doesn’t happen up there in the middle of nowhere.

Most on campus crime (aside from underage drinking) is committed by non-students.

It’s weird, I really can’t think of much more to say on this... Just not the Storrs I remember from my days up there.

Too bad that students aren’t allowed to defend themselves............”gun free zones” are not safe.

Sadly, this is par for the course in this community. A modest proposal to increase involvement by the perp's neighbors:

The San Francisco Vigilance Movement has traditionally been portrayed as a positive response to government corruption and rampant crime ... In 1871, at least 18 Chinese-Americans were eventually killed by the mob rampaging through Old Chinatown, after a white businessman was inadvertently caught in the crossfire of a tong battle.

There's no wondering if you're an idiot for making such a disrespectful.
