In all that time only had one attempted mugging. I was 15 and brother 17 and was 1 am in Times Square.

Was back in wilding days and was 20 on two.

I still laugh. The leader stepped forward with his others line 20 feet back. My brother half way pulled out a huge switchblade nice where top half shaped line handgun and stopped. Was a cool knife appeared like a gun when half pulled out.

Guy yells everyone stop. My brother frozen half out guys goes look here Dillinger no need to be shooting we be backing up. They got back 25 feet and we took off running.

My brother later said if came forward he was going to stick him in stomach twist the knife and since leader so far out we got a head start running

I always wonder if they made fun of the leader in a doo rag for backing up on two 15 and 17 year old white kids. Or how lucky he is. He may have known 50-50 a knife or gun. But he knew 100 percent he was getting stabbed or shot

The school is wonderful (in a NY kind of way). Intellectually challenging, and so on. However, the students can't have it all. You get to be a world renowned institution, but shucks, you can't be out late, and part of NY is off limits, darn the hardship. I believe that the young man who was killed was playing soccer way up at Baker. You can't be up at Baker playing soccer at night! The school needs to shut down activities at dark, or provide transportation back to campus.
I wish that C could round up their properties to make it more of a one campus feel. C is not as spread out as NYU, but still...maybe they could buy a sliver of MP, don't know. Sad all around, talented young man taken away from us.

My kid says C runs free rides using via. Remind your kid to use the free ride service at night.

Thanks, but I have reminded her that she can choose, either transfer to a school in a safer place or get in by dark. She loves C, and chooses to get in early, and avoid MP.
BTW, kids at NYU are killed too. U of Penn has seen its share of stabbings and shootings. We are a violent society.

Most of the violence is committed by a specific segment of society.

Please elaborate. Which violence? School shootings? Stabbings?

Violent crimes as defined by the DOJ, but I'm sure you already knew that.

Which segment of society?
