[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Wrong to say the murders had nothing to do with the school: the victims were UVA students, they were abducted/killed from the school's college town, one of the murderers was a UVA nurse and another was  UVA Lacrosse player.[/quote][/b]

Uh, and neither happened on campus.  One woman was out alone on the mall and looked inebriated and left with a man.  The other was participating on the mall against the alt.right protest.  She wasn't even a UVA student.  There are 23,000 students at UVA.  Two incidences over a period of what, four or five years?  Out of 120,000 students?  That's a pretty amazing safety record.  Every single college has its horror story.  Look at this Wash & Lee accident in which a woman was killed and two seriously injured.  http://www.roanoke.com/news/local/lawsuits-settled-in-suv-crash-following-w-l-fraternity-party/article_f99ebae7-e984-5d4d-8f02-ef1caf25b479.html.  My own college has some incident happen almost every year.  Two men were murdered during an alcohol-infused frat. incident.  It didn't receive national attention but if happened off-campus, in a car, with alcohol involved.  I don't blame the College.  It was the students' own stupid choices that led to the deaths.[/quote]

Pages go by and no one calls this person on BLAMING these raped murdered women for their own deaths. Guess what, they drank alcohol. That was their "crime". Think about your own past and your own children before you condemn them. [b]By the way, UVA was sued because that lacrosse player had such a history of alcohol/arrest and violence[/b] and the team never sanctioned him, despite their own rules. There are cultures at schools, and some are more toxic than others.

Ihockingly sad that you would all rather argue about which of your alma maters is better,  than call out this poster for blaming those poor poor young women for being murdered by psychopaths. [/quote][/quote]

Sorry, put that in the wrong place:   could be wrong but I think you are referring to the Duke Lacrosse case.
