People seem to complain that there is no coverage and no attention paid to a crime by the media. And then when there is it is torn apart because it is not the angle wanted. I for one am happy that the conversation is being had. We do not always get the news we want to hear. Is it the truth, or from a creditable source? The fact that students go away to college unprepared to deal with independence and no curfews and the perils that are truthfully out there is a true fact. For the paper to stimulate that conversation may not memorialize the victim in the way we would like does not mean the conversation should not be had, IMO.
In the college town where I live there have been upwards of 160 police calls to a half dozen off campus apartment complexes since just August. Calls ranging from breakins, parties out of control, assaults and rapes. Then when the police arrive nobody will "snitch" or give LE any information to follow up on. It's disgraceful.
