More RA Students Slain

[Don Dresden]

"Crowing with glee"???

As usual, Gollum doesn't get it.

On the other hand, the author of this article on one of the latest RA campus murders does get it.

How sad is it to drop your child off to school for an education and to get her back in a body bag? Is it too much to ask for a safe environment for students on college campuses? We cannot understand how an argument can escalate to a physical fight, which then escalates to a murder. Stabbing your roommate to death. Really? Colleges need to screen students better. Many colleges do not screen more carefully due to fear of being accused of discrimination. Others whose survival is dependent on enrollment don't care who they let into the college or university as long as the numbers are met. Here is a clear example of why they should care.

Bowie State Student Killed in Dorm

(Didn't say the author (Nsenga Burton) was eloquent, just that she gets it. Maybe Gollum can round up 15 of his friends from the 'hood to 'splain it to him.)

This time it was Dominique in the dorm by the roommate. RA = no way for her.

...Dominique T. Frazier, 18, a student at [regionally accredited] Bowie State University was fatally stabbed Thursday night by her roommate during a fight inside a residential housing building on campus, Maryland State Police said early Friday. ...Prince Georges County police received a 911 call reporting a cutting at the Christa McAuliffe Residential Community building and responded along with campus police officers, state police said. University officers were the first to arrive and found the victim unconscious in a second floor hallway of the apartment-style dorm.

The officers rendered emergency care until rescuers arrived and took the student to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead about 45 minutes later. Frazier’s body will be taken to state medical examiner’s office in Baltimore for an autopsy, officials said.

Police say the 19-year-old roommate initially fled, but turned herself in four hours later. She is being held in custody but has not been charged. Classes have been canceled and grief counseling has been made available for students.
