One would think this student would have learned or told to avoid going to far from the Barnard campus.

They were told to stay out of Morningside Park after dark. This happened at dusk. Dusky.

oh poor kid! I’m sure she thought she’d be safe. Wrong.

“Young Men”

Amish, I presume.

“A group of teens...”

Too bad her local school UVA is so difficult to get accepted by.

[ClearCase_guy]

They used to call it “wilding” but I think that was found to be politically incorrect.

Prayers up for her family. She either came from a good family, or worked her butt off to get into that college. :(

Reminscent of the Cetneral Park jogger story. New York’s decline into the dystopia of the Dinkins era continues...

I lived next to Morningside Park when I went to Columbia U. I wouldn’t even go there in the day time. It borders Harlem.

“...Morningside Park on West 116th Street”

Not a good area. Barnard and Columbia are not in a good area. Sad

[Jolla]

some bad azz feeme fatale cop needs to go into the park every couple of evenings around sunset and cap a couple of youths that accost her, it will stop.

Politically correct posturing and behavior is not only delusional but is often lethal. Wonder if this girl actually believed the social justice and community propaganda she heard at Columbia?

We know the Victim’s name but we don’t know the Murderer’s name?

Okay, I’m going against FR tradition and I will click on the link. I’m sure the name and picture of the Murderer will pop right up.

She was a freshman from an upper-class isolated town. Those of us who grew-up in the city no to stay clear of parks especially at night. Too many places for thugs to hide and stalk a victim not to mention all the discarded hypodermic needles laying about.

[Professional]

I’d like to axe a question...

[deadrock]

I hope they are caught and broken on the wheel.

Her situational awareness was a zero. That is the fault of her parents.

Welcome to DiBlasio’s New York.

[Chickensoup]

many campuses are now in the middle of ‘hoods with security patroling at all times.

[CodeJockey]

I googled Barnard College and form what I can tell the students are mostly politically active liberals. Conservative views are generally not allowed to be expressed.

This very well could be the campus mindset... The children that did this had not been given the opportunities that others have had in life. The odds were stacked against them from the day they were born. Perhaps they are not really at fault but our racist society is?

Campus poll:
Progressive/very liberal 45%
Liberal 45%
Moderate 6%
Conservative 3%

Tessa Majors, a freshman at Barnard College who was from Charlottesville, Virginia, was walking down a flight of steps into Morningside Park on West 116th Street on Wednesday when the young men approached her.

I'm well acquainted with NYC the perps are the Obama sons variety ... no question.
