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. |

| The video makes the encounter seem like nothing out of the ordinary in a typical U Chicago day. |

| The DNC convention in Chicago this year will be a nightmare - btw the crime and the protestors blocking the highways and main roads with sit-ins. |

| I now know why Im bombarded by UChicago emails for my DD. I used to live in ChiTown and at that time it was my favorite place in the US, however we will not be applying to any Chicago schools, not even Northwestern, it is just too risky. |

Um.... you really don't have any experience with this do you? They rob people all over the city. Anybody with something in their hands (a purse, a box from their shopping, a laptop) looks like an easy snatch and run. If you care look at crime reports from the whole town. Criminals target people they think won't fight back. They were wrong about this girl. But please understand that the next time that kid tries to rob somebody they will be even more violent. Real talk from somebody not trying to sell you a mail order pillow. Also, "three squares and a bed" sounds like something you learned from a 1950s crime drama. Do you actually think they are doing this because they are hungry? Use some common sense. A hungry man with a gun is going to rob a restaurant and eat that moment, not snatch a purse. |
