This is scary... a drive-by shooting started in the campus neighborhood on Friday and ended on campus near my last class. A 17-yr-old was shot in the leg. It SEEMS like it was probably gang-related from the news reports.
Crime around here is starting to be absurd. A couple weeks ago a woman was robbed and then raped at knifepoint, and incident which began half an hour after I left work across the street from it, and ended about a block and a half away... they've since caught that guy, who confessed to a few robberies as well.
Add to that the fact that someone's car seems to get broken into every week in my parking lot.
I'm stressing out about this. Why is there so much random violence? I have alarms on my window and door, I carry my pepper spray...
And compared to other schools in urban areas, this one isn't that bad... I talked to someone who was transferring from UC because a bullet whizzed through his dorm room!
I know crime rates are going down, and they really are, but it doesn't seem like it right now
add to that the people I have to deal with at work like the guy last night who was sitting there smelling the magazines... yes... smelling them, and then asked me to show him where the front desk was because his "eyes weren't working"... I did, and then I found out he is not allowed to be in the store because he exposed himself to some girls in the cafe. I knew he was creepy.
AHHHHHHHH!
