Mob Violence at Temple University

There is violence in all campuses. No one is denying it.

But the same level of mob violence from outside in anywhere? According to Washington Post, it was estimated to have about 150 teens involved in the Temple incident. 150 disorderly teens? For many rural campuses, you barely have 150 HS teens living in those towns. It is simply mathematically impossible. Furthermore, in many rural campuses, there is barely effective public transportation in those towns and local households usually scattered far away from the college. It is technically difficult for those rural kids to come up the same level of mass.

Yes, in pretty much everywhere, we cannot rule out the possibility of say up to 1-2 dozen of teen mob that can attack our kids, along with other types of violence, and we need to remind our kids about their safety no matter where they are.

But, 150 disorderly teens? Also, it has happened a few times before? Sorry, I will not have my kids it there. This is just too much for me to even think about it.
