<p>[ABC</a> News: Few Details in Bloody Miami Student Murder](<a href=“http://abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=5329969&page=1]ABC”>http://abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=5329969&page=1)</p>
<p>My son knew this young man. I just can’t understand this stuff.</p>
<p>I agree, completely heartbreaking.</p>
<p>murderers are cowards.</p>
<p>Each of these incidents are so horrific. They are so tragic to me and I don’t even know the kids but cannot fathom what it is like for their familes and friends.</p>
<p>I think the word is getting out in criminal circles that students are soft targets with lots of stuff including access to cash. I also think more of these thugs are now migrating to the larger college towns where the ethos is liberal and the cops not as harsh and suspecting–at least at first.</p>
<p>^^ I think you are right. What used to be bicycle and other property thefts have now become robberies and murders.</p>
<p>and since 99% of these murders are with guns…
it makes it too easy to turn what could be ‘just’ a robbery into a murder. One flick of the finger is the difference. Most people know to give up the goods if they are being robbed or threatened and I have no doubt that most people that are murdered aren’t given that chance</p>
<p>It is too soon to say in this case if it is even that sort of crime. Right now, reports are that none of the roommates have been located. There was a party to celebrate the slain boy’s 21st birthday. Not sure this was a robbery. Some of the other horrific cases in recent months have been ones though.</p>
<p>How awful! I’m so sorry that this happened to someone your son knew, MOWC. He must be devastated.</p>
<p>The worst thing is that the article has photos of other students who have been murdered, with links to the stories. Very depressing. People that age are so vulnerable - they tend to be trusting, and they don’t expect danger.</p>
<p>Tragic is right. :(</p>
<p>My thoughts and prayers are with the boy’s family and all who knew him.</p>
<p>Well- he was at the CVS just a couple of hours before he was discovered dead on the floor. I hope they solve this.</p>
