I'm a little scared...
A girl was "assaulted" on campus Monday night at 10 o'clock. The person who did it was about 6 feet tall, wore all black, and was wearing a clown Halloween mask which means he definitely went out with the intent to do that. The scary thing is, Brendon and I get out of our class at 10 tonight. I know I'll be safe since he'll be with me, but still...it's scary!
It's also not the first time that something terrible has happened on campus. Brendon's best friend was abducted while walking to his car one night on campus and later murdered. That was back in 2001. It just seems that a college campus is not a very safe place to be at night...

Oh wow!
I'd be scared too! Please try to be sure there's always someone with you... any chance you can get hold of some pepper spray? It might be a good deterrant to just carry in your hand when you're anywhere you feel at risk. My dh bought me some when I was a realtor... 'cause there was some wacko setting up appointments on vacant properties and attacking female realtors. Thank God I never had to use it.

No place is safe anymore Angie...sadly, it's a fact of life now. Rule of thumb is NEVER be out alone. Assaults and abductions happen day or night.

Just be very careful and try to walk in groups when you do have to be out. It's a sad reflection that we have to be so cautious. Get some mace or something and keep it with you or maybe one of those air horns and have that in hand when walking at night.

Angie, carry a small can of hairspray with you, or even better pepper sray if that is allowed, here it's forbidden, and seen as a weapon. Dont go out alone, some people are really nuts, walk out in a group if that is possible.
Things happen day & night, always be aware. Stay safe!!
