Barnard student stabbed to death

[Anonymous]

It’s funny (more like sad) how people cling to “inner city crime is way down!” data which is so obviously faked and juked by sleaze politicians and dirty cops.

NP. Stark contrast here to the late 90s, when we were warned at orientation to AVOID Morningside Park. Like, it was explicitly named as an unsafe place for us to go. (Riverside was fine though.)

This is sad. I was a Barnard freshman in 2007 and we were definitely warned about the area at night, specifically those stairs in Morningside Park as well as a few other places. Unfortunately I’m not surprised that political correctness and fear of micro aggressions means they don’t teach this anymore. Poor girl, RIP

Of course crime is way down. I lived in Manhattan (including by Columbia and in poorer neighborhoods) and never experienced any crime; nor did any of my friends or acquaintances. Yes crime happens (and there seems to be an uptick of juvenile crime in DC as well) but talking about "inner city crime" just shows that you haven't lived in a city for the past 10 years.

They also apparently did not warn students about a big uptick of crime in Morningside Park this year.

It seems bizarre beyond belief, but it does seem like the information that the Morningside Park stairs are not safe, and that you shouldn't cross the park at night, has totally fallen by the wayside (I graduated from Columbia in 2005 - and apparently it was still known in 2007 when you were there.) I'm not sure if this was deliberate PC re-training, or the fact that Harlem just on the other side of the park really experienced a boom in that same time period which may have made the park seem safer than it was. I've read plenty of tweets by recent female Columbia grads saying "I crossed the park any time of day or night to get home" to make me believe that something totally shifted in the past few years.

I’m looking at Google street view, the top of the park stairs are really elegant and inviting. And if it’s truly THAT unsafe why aren’t there full time security and NYPD post there?

It's called being aware of your surroundings in the middle of a city - plus the history with Morningside Park and Columbia goes back decades. It's really not shocking at all unless you've never left suburbia. NYC and Columbia are very safe these days but yeah, most people knew not to go into that park alone.

How would someone from out of state know anything about that?

My heart breaks for the horror that poor child must have felt being violated by this monster. May she Rest In Peace for eternity.

The monster will be fresh meat in the system and will receive was is deserved.

It is very sad when a young woman can't go jogging next to her college. Hopefully the 3 hood rats get decades of time. It is unbelievable the posts on here
defending the hood rats due to socioeconomic status. If it was your daughter, wife or mother savagely killed by hood rats you would not be defending the murderers.

Agreed! Enough of this weird PC nonsense of excusing what really were wasted lives. Too bad that your life was hard. These wastes of life should be the dead ones. Not a promising young person.

Lol. Right. Not only would they be defending them, they would be hiding them and not assisting the police. You know; snitches get stitches culture.

Better article on previous mugging at steps by teens.

Columbia student had been in the US for 4 days when he
was mugged. Reported the mugging and talked to
several people at the police station but was told
since it was minors (even though the police knew the
minors) nothing could be done.

Crime is only down because cops laugh at yuppies and don’t take reports. And minorities scared of cops don’t call 911. Data manipulation.

Systematic crime reporting / data manipulation to produce “crime is down” headlines, re-elections, promotions and bonuses.

Sad but true: crime doesn't pay!

Like one if the media reports stated, “safer is not the same as safe”

I think what young UMC whites/Asians (at least in this area) don't realize is that cities are not like suburbs. This poor girl was used to Charlottesville which is fairly safe day to day. I was her age when I moved to a city. It took me a while to understand how unsafe it could be.

Wouldn't be PC to say that anymore.

+1. It’s also racist for the girl to run the other way when she sees 4 loitering youth in a park known for stick ups and robberies.

This makes me so angry I could scream.

I’m teaching my kids about the realities of life in America. I’d rather be called racist by some delusional SJWs than to have a dead child because I made my kids pawns in some political agenda.

If this information was genuinely withheld by authorities at the university for fear of being perceived a certain way then it should be a lawsuit. They were effectively accomplices. All it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.

This poor girl, I can’t even imagine her terror as she realized what was happening. Absolutely heartbreaking..

Yeah, like Trump calling out people who report his felonious behavior 'rats.' And his swamp rat scare defending him like you say folks are defending and hiding them.

Takes one to know one.

Campus security cannot provide anything in a city park.

Morningside Park is not part of Columbia's campus.

WRONG. Columbia University Public Safety DOES patrol OTHER campus margins and border areas. Public Safety conducts vehicle patrols and foot patrols all around the campus borders - except in Morningside Park. They have known about the hazards for decades. The university is too politically correct to openly acknowledge the dangers on the east side of the campus. This was entirely preventable.

I thought about other non-black killers and rapists. Other than evil and heinous, most description of, let's say Dylann Roof who also purposely killed, were mentally ill and crazy, I don't recall anybody saying 'stop and frisk' whites near black or Jewish places of worship. Nor calling him a swamp rat while describing the Barnard killers hood rats.

Why is it there is no hesitation to call the Barnard killers the despicable names they rightfully deserve but more civilized condemnation of people who slaughter babies in classrooms, theatres, etc?

Mentally ill and crazy are reserved for a certain class while the vilest nouns are reserved for another group. I think if the shoe fits on both sides of the fence, we, you know.

Wrong. Trash is trash no matter the color or neighborhood. You, dear friend, are a tad bit over sensitive. These hood rats are exactly why every PD should stop and frisk.

You actually proved PP point. PD doesn’t stop and frisk every white person every time a white person commits a heinous, evil crime. Sandyhook, the shooting in Vegas, Dylan Roof, I could go on. No, in fact certain groups will double down on the right for anyone to have a high powered rifle.
