Public Safety just sent out a crime alert for a robbery which occurred today at 5:50 pm, on Riverside Drive at 112th. A Columbia undergrad was robbed of his iPhone at knife point. Check out the alert for more details and remember, nowhere is safe…
@Anonymous @In before racist trolls: Ugh can we keep the conversation on campus safety instead of this PC bullshit? This shit’s actually scary and really close to campus
@Anonymous Describing the assailant in terms of age, sex, race, and decription is not at all racist. People have to get over themselves. We and the police need to know what the criminal looked like.
@Anonymous How much would being aware help if the male black had a knife and was hidden in the brushes? I’d still be too scared to run or fight even if I had a few extra seconds of warning.

@Anonymous There have been so many armed robberies near campus lately compared to last year. Public safety needs to get on that jawn.
@In before racist trolls …waiting for it…don’t disappoint me…

@straw-man + fake offense combo you aren’t actually offended; you get off on self-righteous offense.
if this weren’t true, you wouldn’t have posted at all–but you did. because when the commenters failed to offend you, you had to literally beg them to.
@anon What happened on October 29th? Beware of the brushes!
@Anonymous Countdown to the “I’m not racist, but…” posts
@anon I hope he got a good snapchat before he was robbed!
@Anonymous I’m sure glad that the people in charge of our safety have never once released a crime alert free of absurd spelling errors!
@anon They had their iphone’s stolen so they dont have autocorrect anymore show some compassion

@Anonymous hope he was at least aware of his environment and not fucking tapping at that damn thing.

@Anonymous The guy probably won’t have jumped out if he didn’t see the phone. He could just wait for an easier target.
@A friendly reminder You live by the projects
@Anonymous a friendly reminder that poor != criminal
@Anonymous They are correlated, though
@for Fuchs' sake Thanks for specifying the phone model. The iBandit has returned!
@Anonymous Bloody hell that’s fucking close and early in the day too. Fuck these bullshit humans, I need to go and live in a cave in the mountains.
@Anonymous At the same time, it’s pretty damn dark at 5:50PM nowadays
