She looks smart and determined. Maybe she’ll do something useful like demand concealed carry for Barnard students and include firearms training in freshman orientation.

The Big Apple...world’s greatest city.

“There are eight million stories in the naked city. This has been one of them.”

[Bonemaker]

I knew about “bad neighbohoods” when I was a little kid.

[trisham]

She’s not blaming the vic.
She’s questioning why people make themselves easier targets.
That’s a fair question. And if more people were to consider the question, we might have fewer vics.

Exactly right.

My wife is an alumnae. Over the years, whenever we were in town and visiting the campus, she would mention Morningside and said everyone knew never to go there.

I like the location of the upper westside, but hate the projects. We've recently been staying in Madison sq park zone the past few trips. No projects and major re-development every single block (maybe even bldg).

I grew-up in the city. Parks were to be avoided especially at night. Too many places for thugs to hide and stalk their victims. Also too many hypodermic needles laying about.

It's not just kids from fly-over who make themselves easy targets. The son of the head of Time-Warner caught the SJW fever as well. He was in his mid-20s working as a teacher in a feral neighborhood.

Four of his 'students' rewarded him for his heroic efforts in redressing white crimes against humanity. They followed him home, and then tortured him to reveal his ATM passcode. Afterward, he died of his injuries.

It's gotta be genetic. By BIL and Gorsuch were frat brothers at CU. They and their buddies didn't have problems; they were smart enough to stay out of trouble. One is a rich dude in San Diego, the other a SC justice.

Thanks, I expected as much. Explains it all.

There are places in Memphis decent citizens won’t go in the daylight. Those who live there own illegal guns. Orange Mound is just 1.

[EEGator]

I didn’t. I didn’t live near any.

[EEGator]

Exactly, you lived in that shithole. Lots of people don’t live near any bad neighborhood.

[trisham]

I never lived in a bad neighborhood, but my father taught me well.

It was 5:30 PM! and so just after sunset , but not like college students dont need to be out when libraries and bookstores close. She was close enough to crawl to a Columbia University security booth,

The big lesson for anyone is dont walk alone...always with a buddy.
Also she still had her phone, so this wasn’t just “ robbery”

Stabbed in the face, stomach, armpit
This was a rage attack by feral men on a privileged white female student
....Race and economic class

[Kickass Conservative]

>>>She also urged “anyone in need” to take advantage of the college’s counseling services<<<

How many NRA Firearm Instructors do they have on Staff?

[thefactor]

This will be another Central Park Five case. Bank on that.

Are the Amish on the loose again?

[miss marmelstein]

It’s dark in NYC at 5:30 at this time of year. I guess she felt immune some how. Very sad.

[EEGator]

Do you think everyone else had the same experience?

[trisham]

Yes. I think everyone is exactly like me.

Earlier this year at Barnard (giving guards doing their job a hard time over “racism”):
