No, do not try to fight off someone with a gun. Stupid. |

I didn't say fight the guy with the gun. But he could have called 911. |

🙄 Which would be a great comfort to him if he was arrested and prosecuted. Or maybe stabbed or shot by the criminal. |

Live coward or dead hero is a choice we all make. |

Seriously. I can’t believe he just sits there. |

I don’t think he saw what was happening until he skedaddled. Maybe wearing ear pods and couldn’t hear the commotion? |

Upon further review, it seems like he was looking right at the assault - the young woman even gestured at him like “don’t just sit there, do something “. And then he casually packed up his drink or whatever he was holding and jogged off. |

| I don’t think it’s right to blame others didn’t confront a gun holder. This could have easily ended with two senseless deaths. |

Reality Check:
The female victim was wrong because she fought back. Could have been killed. She should have just given up her cell phone. |

| Maybe all U of C students should be required to carry a firearm at all times in order to deter criminals. |

It’s not about confronting! He didn’t even run away or call 911. Just sat there. |

The broad daylight part is what really troubles me. Plus the getaway cars. If people are trawling the neighborhood looking for easy marks then maybe the campus police can lay out some traffic control speed bumps? I saw that in Mexico once. Nobody could go faster than 10mph without ripping the wheels off of the car. That most most most peaceful street in town.
Just a thought |

Same. The looking and trawling for blonde white female students bothers me. This could have been my daughters good friend. You can say cry me a river, but that is exactly what is happening here. Why is that okay? Why is that acceptable as some sort of societal payback (not unlike the OJ case)? Y'all are truly sick in the head. The trawling "yeah, get THAT one" is sick, sick, sick. Good for her for kicking the perp's arse. All parents need to emphasize self defense. Perps do this, because they know they can get away with it. If they get caught, it is nothing to them, maybe a badge of honor. A slap on the hand, and released to keep doing the same thing over and over again, maybe jail - which is three squares and a bed, probably more than they have at home. How much is enough? Because they hate the "rich" students? GMAFB. |
