I got assaulted =) (no, seriously, i was assaulted)
Hey kids, gather round. Ben has a story for you tonite. Following my shift at WXYC (12-3 Sunday Nights/Monday Mornings) and it was a damn good set if i might say so. I was heading back towards Morrison and i was at the point in the brick walkway where it meets with Stadium Drive. Two very sketch thugged out African American males approached me and asked for directions to 15-501. As I was giving directions and trying to keep my distance, one of them walked around to the other side of me and in the middle of directions took a swing at me and hit me on my left cheek, it's bruised now. I started backing away fast yelling "What the fuck!? What the fuck!? Easy!" and they started to give chase. At which point, I was running across the road where i tripped on my sandal and scraped the everliving fuck out of my knees. I pulled off both sandals and sprinted back to Morisson as fast as i could. When i got there and inside the dorm, I called the cops and alerted them and let them know everything that happened. They've sent cars out as of 3:30 or so and i gave descriptions of the guys. So you know, they were two thugged out black guys, anywhere from 5'8 to 6'2. The shorter one was wearing a black puffy coat and was heavier set, maybe up to 210 lbs for his body type. The other was a little skinnier had a black ballcap on and an oversized black t-shirt. Be on the lookout, because i don't want this happening to anyone else. I'm okay but the bottom line is i got lucky. So be careful out there and take care of yourselves.

Love,
Ben

Thanks, but, just so you know, that really describes 90% of the black guys on campus. Perhaps you could give a description of their faces, or hair style, etc. To be on the lookout for (insert black male here) will do no one any good. Sorry, just a pet peeve.

are 90% of the black guys on campus 5'8" & 210 lbs or 6'2" and skinny?

*shrug* seemed fairly specific to me...considering it's really late night and he was attacked...

Ok, I can see how there are approximate heights and weights, but come on, how is that specific? Tall skinny guy and a shorter chubbier guy? Maybe 90% was a bit off, but 80%? Definitely. Not to mention, clothes tend to change.

considering it was dark, the experience started and ended pretty quickly, and he tried to flee the scene as quickly as he could, you can't really hold it against him for not being more specific

i mean, i don't think anyone in that situation would have stuck around to get a closer look at their faces

I fully agree, but at that point, there should simply not be a description released. It just really breeds profiling, which is ridiculous. It's very frustrating when you fit the vast majority of descriptions given.

You seem to be taking it well... Good you're okay...

It's that damned rap-culture that teaches people to turn to a life of crime...

Rap sucks anyways. Though, I think it has more to do with their socio-economic status and the lack of moral values they received from their parents who may or may not have been in their lives.

From what I've heard campus security after 12 is pretty much non-existent.

This would be the second attack I've heard of in the last two weeks and it brings to mind a very important question. Does UNC offer security escorts after dark?

technically you can call the p2p shuttle any time after the p2p stops running. Otherwise, not really.

They used to have shuttles running from the libraries late at night but that got shut down in an effort to save money.

Yes. They do. I used to have the number (Mom was very big on this when I just had come to UNC). One is thought the P2P (they show up taxi-style) and the other is some service that the frat males donate themselves to. Plus, campus security (such as it is) will come out and walk you to your car/dorm/etc.
