holy crap

Actually, in respect to what has been happening in recent years, I applaud your school for taking the preemptive actions. It might be scary but a lot less scarier then being surprized by a gun toting loon on campus!
Please stay safe!

I think this borders on witchunting. All it takes is one accusation and it could send a school into hysteria.

You would, Fenchurch.

Keep safe, Abba!

As much as it is scary, it happens every single day, everywhere.

It's a sad and dangerous world we live in.

Earlier today I got an email from my college:

"The health, safety and welfare of (NAME OF SCHOOL faculty, staff and students are of utmost importance. To that end and in accordance with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act, the following notice of a reported incident is being posted to keep the university community well
informed:

REPORTED OFFENSE:

During the evening of Thursday, October 25, 2007, university police received a report from a female student that she had been sexually assaulted by an acquaintance who is a male student. The assault allegedly took place in a residence hall on (NAME OF CAMPUS). On Sunday, October 21, 2007, The male student has been
identified, suspended on an interim basis and will be trespassed. This matter is under active investigation. As always, it remains the university's policy to fully investigate and report such incidences on a case by case basis. "


Unfortunately these emails aren't far and few between. It's a disturbing truth of safety and reality.

I am one to worry about EVERYTHING (and trust me, I do worry about this stuff), but there's only so much you can do about it. I think posting a thread "holy crap" on a Broadway message board (yes, I know it's called off-topic) about it was a bit much.
Perhaps something suited for the banal thread.

"As much as it is scary, it happens every single day, everywhere."

No dear, it doesn't actually happen every single day, everywhere. But I suppose if people speaking Spanish freaks you out, then you're tailor made for a world filled with fear in which marketeers tell you that only spending lots of money on **** you don't need will soothe your anxiety.

Ok, Namo, you're right - it doesn't happen everywhere all the time. But it does happen.

And I'll be damned if I can figure out where your Spanish-speaking angle came from. I went back and looked at the original posted article, and I don't get it - what are you referencing?

Ah, yes - got it.

But even a world that is tilted toward foolish fear would be foolish to ignore obvious signs.
