Yes bad but none (wiggle, wiggle) of this happened on VCU campus.

Don't you get it - no guns (squirm) allowed on campus worked again.

VCU police have authority on the streets but such crimes as these are not scored against VCU. WTF ! Were is the poetry, where is the justice? Where is the reasonable approach to personal safety?

No, this is why you don't want to have a gun on the campus of VCU. After all, how would the miserable indigents be able to support themselves if they couldn't conduct their illegal activities because their victims had the means to force them to cease their "gainful" pursuit of the victims' property?

Think of it as a form of welfare.

taxes are collected at the barrel of a gun (the threat of) - this is just more streamlined "wealth redistribution" - it is market efficency!

Crazy, the campus security doesn't have an open and public listing of the crime incidents on it's web site, and isn't obligated to report to the PD....in a way that's sort of criminal in itself.

No doubt it is a crazy system. Don't forget to add the Capital Police, State Police, VA Union PD, Federal Reserve and a few other large organization that have their own police force. Their incidents do not get publicly reported either. Real crime could be up or down or out of control. We never know unless it hits the media.

That happened on my friends front steps... He had walked in 10 minutes prior. Only difference is... He's in the process of joining the richmond police department, and carries a Sig P220 at all times. That crook had some lucky timing.

Ex-girlfriend knows the one that got shot in the neck... Crazy stuff

Kinda like how all tow companies have to report what they tow to the Richmond PD, all expept the Richmond PD impound lot... They don't report to anyone. The police department doesn't know what cars they have towed/impounded. Makes a lot of sense....
