[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a parent at U Chicago. My kids walk back and forth to sports practice at Henry Crown (north, so Hyde Park side) and to labs that occur from 6:30-9pm sometimes Quad, central campus). They don’t report feeling generally unsafe, just normal alertness. They pay attention to the alerts and take Lyft late at night or walk with friends. We live in New York City, so they are used to needing to be alert and savvy about how they walk or travel around. I am more concerned as a parent. [/quote] Why are you trying to rationalize living in fear of violent crime? Being “alert” and needing ride share to avoid getting a gun in your face is not “normal” and should never be accepted or rationalized. You’re also flirting with victim blaming, as if victims of robberies or worse must not have been street smart or “alert”. This crap should not be happening, PERIOD.[/quote]
