<p>anyone else get this email?</p>

<p>***…why are there so many ■■■■■■■■ people in this world…and why do these kids have to wander into the University City area…</p>

2

<p>Looking for easy marks. Campus is relatively empty now. There’s much less of this type of crime during the regular school year.</p>

3

<p>Could you tell me what happened?</p>

4

<p>Public safety sent out a mass e-mail.</p>

<p>Here’s the message.</p>

<p>

<p>I really don’t understand why Penn can’t seriously clean up the area. </p>

<p>A school near where I live was able to decrease campus crime pretty much from somewhere in the range of 100+ per year to somewhere around (less than) 20 per year by a huge bout of gentrification LOL.</p>

6

<p>9-13 years old?!! it doesn’t seem very dangerous if the assailants are up to your waist</p>

7

<p>God, can you imagine? In a few years, toddlers will be assaulting Penn students with their Fisher Price Shapesorters and robbing us for milk money. </p>

<p>At that point, I don’t really know what I’ll do.</p>

8

<p>i recall that 2 years ago a visiting professor was assaulted on smith walk by some young girls wielding hammers…</p>

9

<p>haha I was just partying at Spring Garden. Glad I survived. I wouldve been scared if a bunch of middle schoolers attacked me lol.</p>

10

<p>and all the screwdriver muggings last year were pretty hilarious.</p>

11

<p>Would it be against campus rules to carry a (legal sized) knife for self defense?</p>

12

<p>My sister was walking on Locust Walk and one of these little hoodlums came up behind her and smacked her on the butt.</p>

<p>She said he wasn’t riding very fast and she probably could have caught up with him if she wasn’t so dumbfounded. Seriously, if I had been there I would have grabbed him violently off of his (probably stolen) bike and thrown him violently to the ground, at which point I would have slammed the bike on the ground and destroyed it, because hey, it’s not his, anyway, is it?</p>

<p>If I had seriously injured him, I wouldn’t care. The crack-dealer-in-training would deserve it.</p>

<p>Seriously, these kids need to be put in jail.</p>

13

<p>like phatalbert said…these incidents are a lot fewer and far between during the school year. </p>

<p>although I did find the screwdriver thing last year a little scary.</p>

14

<p>haha, I saw those kids get arrested the other day. Pwned.</p>

15

<p>come up across one of these kids this year im gonna bust their heads.</p>

<p>but yeah there isnt really anything to be scared of during the year, last year was just fine</p>

16

<p>Pwninated indeed</p>

17

<p>

</p>

<p>Can you guys explain to me exactly what happened? Was this during the school year? How many incidents? Was it directed mainly towards Penn students or just anyone in general?</p>

18

<p>Man, I don’t want to die. I think I’ll just stay home next semester, and drive DUI instead.</p>

19

<p>I was looking at the log kept by Public Safety at Drexel for Jan-present. There seems to be certain areas that are plagued with attacks. For one, around 35th & Hamilton. And also, around Spring Garden. I saw listings for assaults with a knife or cutting instrument and also what they call strong arm (fists, etc.).</p>

<p>lol i wish some 13 yr old PUNKS would try and pull that s**t with me. I will truly make each and every one of them regret it.</p>
