... but it is quite obvious that the local police is doing a TERRIBLE job at policing the campus (the victims) and the ghetto (the perpetrators).
Probably they are intimidated by the brazen race-peddlers who try to make the lives of the police officers who actually do their duty an inferno. (The Kiwane Whatever case is a good example - a typical black hooligan, transformed in some kind of phony hero by the irresponsible "community".)
Real story: A very good friend of mine, brilliant Chinese PhD student, was hit four years ago by two black guys who robbed his bag... full of notebooks and engineering books. (I don't think the prey of their violent looting helped them much.)
My friend fell down, broke his head and his jaw on the pavement, needed expensive and painful medical care, and physical therapy. He still isn't himself, and what he and his wife had to go through I wouldn't wish on my enemies. And he's the nicest, most honest guy in the world.
What did the police do? NOTHING. They treated him with indifference, they made NO EFFORT to catch the criminals. NOTHING.
We hear all the time about this type of violent crimes on campus, 95% perpetrated by ghetto inhabitants migrating South and attacking students. (No, I don't care about their race, skin color and other c**p, the 5% white/Latino perpetrators of similar acts are just as disgusting - we are discussing the facts of the matter here.)
Did the police catch any of these criminals? ANY? Not all, not a majority, but at least 25% of them? Nada. Nothing. Rien. Zilch.
It's time to quit political correctness and to simply recognize that, while a majority of the ghetto inhabitants may be law-abiding citizens, a crushing majority of the violent crimes on campus are being perpetrated by young males from the northern "neighborhoods"... and THE POLICE SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. Please. Hello. Is anybody listening?
