A black Lexus in the dormitory parking lot?! ??? Things have changed since I went to college. You would more than likely see a 10 year old rusted VW bug back then.

On the side note I guess things have changed, there are some real nice cars around campus like m3's and such.

Speaking of kids acting crazy (and I am in no way saying that this kid could be the one involved) but did anyone see that guy roaming around the basketball game with the hockey stick replacment blade??? He didn't sit down the whole game, he just paced the sidelines waving this blade. It's not the first game I've seen him at either, but hey, if he's helping with the attendance then who cares right?
Illinoisowl, it's not just the cars that have gotten better, apparantly the drugs have too!

That's crazy, I drove past campus this morning on my way to work and saw all of the News trucks.

Yeah that kid who walks around the games with his hockey stick is one of my new roommates and he is pretty damn crazy. Not just weird but I think certifiably crazy. We have absolutely no clue why the hell he does that. He isnt the kid who was shot though. The papers are reporting the guy who was shot was a 6'+ 250 lbs balck guy.

Incidents like this (and the fatal shooting at UCF) indicate to me that campus police officers need a great deal more training.
When I was in college a million years ago, the officers on our campus generally appeared to be and acted like those who could not cut it in larger and city/county departments. I hope that is not the case at FAU and elsewhere in Florida.

There were a couple of guys like that living in the dorms when I was there. Their roomates were miserable. I wondered how guys like that got into college and how did they stay in college. They must have rich parents that pulled some strings. Otherwise I don't see them with the GPA or SAT scores to get in.

Why wasn't backup called? Why wasn't this individual subdued with a Taser (cops whip them out early & often these days) or with the good old fashioned night stick?
By all accounts, this student sounds like he was a bit off his rocker, but as a huge gun advocate pulling the trigger should have been the last resort. Also, no one is trained to shoot to injure, it's shoot to kill; this chick needs to spend some time on the range or get a desk job.
With the amount of money FAU will have to spend in legal fees and compensation to this kid and his family, kiss the dome GOODBYE!!!

This isn't good news. Investigations are going on and the guy was not totaly innocent by any means.
