Daily article

I was disturbed by the article in the NT Daily on the attacks last week outside the Union. One of the group of attackers were well discribed as black males. The other set of attackers were not described well at all. The way the told the story in that non-descriptive attack made it sound like the victim could have had a good look at the attackers. Maybe not. However, due to the only description being of black males, my first imipression from the article was that these attacks should be blamed on black males. I want to know if there were any assumptions we were supposed to make about the first set of attackers because their race was not included. Needless to say, the article gave me an uneasy feeling.

Sorry for the confusion. What the NT PD and Denton police released, both attacks (the police dept's say) were the same persons. The offical discription was 1-2 black males for the on-campus robbery and 3-4 black males on Dallas Dr., both discriptions coming from victim accounts.
The police have no further info on either crime as of this week.
Personally, and the Daily editorial board has agreed with this, I think this on-campus robbery exposed the poor lighting conditions around certain, high traffic areas, around our campus. The SGA also called this into att. when they did the campus walk last week.

Kelly,

Nice blogging--if that washing machine were in my house, then I'd have to do laundry, instead of my spouse chugging through it all while watching sports on the weekend. The Daily critique was a good one. And the beautiful people will always be with us, I'm afraid, whether on Oprah or Trump's stupid show. Take care and best to you,

Jacque
