Donald Farrell was walking with friends to a party near Rowan University Saturday night when he paused near a jam-packed convenience store to give a group of men directions. It just took a moment, but it cost him his life.
The men surrounded the Boonton Township teen and knocked him to the ground, authorities said. Before his friends could react, the men beat him, grabbed his wallet and cell phone and took off, leaving the sophomore bleeding on the sidewalk.
[big snip until the 28th paragraph]
Authorities yesterday distributed fliers with a composite sketch of the person who punched Farrell. He is described as a black male in his early 20s, wearing a red baseball cap over dreadlocks. The man also was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt with a British flag on the left front side of the garment, the flier stated.
Knowing a killer is on the loose concerns some students who say they no longer feel safe in that part of town.

(Rowan University is the former Glassboro State College which was the site of the 1967 meeting between President Lyndon Johnson and Soviet Premier Alexei Kosygin.)

Time for you city folks to take your lives back from the barbarians. The government won’t do it for you.
The killer was probably terrified from someone mentioning the word “noose” to him recently.
The website won’t let you read the rest of the story without filling out a form. I’ll pass, thanks!
Glassboro is hardly a "city." Population is under 20,000. My own town has about 7500, and no real main street. It is not a "city" either.

Doesn’t matter, you’re afraid of the barbarians, they aren’t afraid of you.
Trust me. You're not missing much. The printed Star Ledger devoted over 50 column-inches to the story. The only thing I really left out is that the murdered kid was from Boonton Township and was on the baseball team when he attended Mountain Lakes High School.
He was one of us.

Odd. Why isn’t that photo being shown everywhere?
I live 15 minutes from there. Rowan is in Glassboro, a rather small community despite the university’s presence. Camden, of course, is not far away, though I’m not sure that it was a Camden influence. What is shocking is that this is NOT New Brunswick or Philadelphia...this is a suburban campus.
My husband took graduate courses at Glassboro, I didn’t recognize the name, Rowan. The neighborhood must have changed a lot.

No picture of the dead youth either. What a shame. If he was white then I guess we know Nancy Grace and the rest of the cable networks won’t touch this story.
The men asked him for directions, then attacked him? Sounds like a deliberate willful act of violence, not just some rogue scumbag out to rob someone.
Surprise. The media deliberately hides black on white crime while magnifying white on black crime.
Its purpose is to stir up hate for whites and white guilt. It works.
There were multiple killers. All should hang.

Looks that way to me.
I’ve also heard a radio report for a local murder/carjacking that mentioned a manhunt for the killer and gave NO description, instead they said “log into our (radio station’s) website to see the artist sketch of the suspect”.
It is politically incorrect to describe a suspect now. It doesn’t mean that everyone who matches the description IS the suspect. It means that no one will ever report the suspect because we just can’t do that anymore.
Meanwhile there have been incidents where people who ACTED in America’s Most Wanted (or local news) re-inactments of crimes have been reported to authorities as “the guy” because he DOES look like the suspect as presented to the audience.
