I would hope that more kids are thinking clearly enough to call 911. |
Yep the semantics of that description totally makes a difference. 🙄 Impression 1: Roommate hears strange noises enough to get her out of bed 3 times. Then sees average dressed person walking down the hallway. Makes sense to rationalize what’s going on and go back to bed. No sense of alarm, no need to call police. Impression 2: Roommate hears strange noises enough to get her out of bed 3 times which included a LOUD thump (loud enough to be picked up 50 feet away on an external camera), crying, dog barking and a statement of “someone is here”. Then sees a perso n dressed in all black and a face covering walking down the hallway that makes her freeze in compete fear. You’re just like Meh, do nothing and go to bed? This makes zero sense no matter how you try to spin in. |
I agree with you feel the same way. In the case of Shanquella Robinson, I was surprised and alarmed at how one person basically appeared to kill another with their bare hands. With this terrible situation, I've never understood how one person kills four people with a knife. I must be naive. |
None of us know how we would react in a situation like that. Just be glad you haven't been placed in a position where you're that poor roommate, and allow her the grace to overcome this trauma without all the whispering and innuendo. She has enough to deal with, without this hurtful, devastating side eye adding to her pain. |
You are right that none of us knows. It's not blaming to hope that everyone will have the ability to call 911 when seeing an intruder. |
When do you know someone is an intruder? There's police video from a noise complaint at the address. Two young men, who are not residents, answered the door and said none of the actual residents were in the house. If you live in a house where it's not unusual for other people to be there partying when you're not home, then how surprised would you be by seeing a stranger when residents WERE home? it's not a stretch to think there might have been a lot of people in and out of that house at all hours. |
Just stop. You're piing, you ghoul. |
Personal safety and calling 911 is not ghoulish. |
You're right. Thank goodness nothing bad will ever happen to you because you are far too smart for that. Same thing for everyone you love. You are very very lucky. |
THAT is what you find offensive about the guy?? |
Just like early on people attacked the roommates, ex-boyfriend, local police. So easy to sit at your keyboard and think you are superior. |
Actually, you are being very judgy and seem to be purposely twisting my words and intention with my comments. |
This post is beautiful and perfectly articulated (I am being sincere). It should close out discussion until there are any actual new developments. |
I am just incredibly perplexed by this case. It makes no sense to me that this guy did absolutely everything wrong even though he knew better. Taking his own car, his phone, leaving the sheath behind. Not to mention committing the murders in a way that would make it most difficult to avoid leaving dna behind. People say that he must have been book smart but no common sense. Sorry, but I can’t buy that. There’s no way he lacked so much common sense to not realize his phone and car could be traced to the site. There’s no way he thought he could stab people with one hand while holding the sheath in the other. It even crossed my mind that he was framed. Does anyone have access to his apartment and could have taken his phone and car? And made sure his dna was on the sheath? Like I said, this just crossed my mind, but I really DO think he’s guilty. So I wonder if this is a game to him. Like, he knew they would catch all of the clues he left behind, but he has something up his sleeve to avoid conviction. This is the scenario I really fear. This guys knows his stuff. He was one of only two students that his professor has ever recommended for the phd program. There is absolutely no way he did this and didn’t expect to get caught. So what is going on? Maybe he was stalking them, but he murdered them because he was on drugs or just snapped, and it wasn’t a carefully planned attack. I don’t know. It’s just so bizarre. |
In response to the post above about intelligence, I saw an interview with an “expert” state that when the perps are intelligent, it’s often arrogance that gets them. Or something like that. |
