What’s up with the quality of students here at Fresno State? University students are usually at such a level that they don’t need to pop a cap when someone confronts them about stolen property.
We’ve moved into an era were the fact that you’re a college student means nothing about your place in society. Fresno State just takes these thugs in, however. First Terry Pettis, now JaMarcus Brooks !

I can’t believe they say it’s contained — they haven’t found the guy yet, because he slipped right past them! Until they find him, I’m staying at home where I’m safe. It’s ridiculous that we’re sitting around, letting this guy negotiate for the past 12 hours while he’s at large with a handgun. Why not storm the place and nab the guy?
“Campus police say the shooter is nowhere near campus;” have they seen a map of Cedar and Barstow? It’s right across the street!
One last thing — why are they in the RDF? University Courtyard students (Like myself) pay to use that for our meals and meetings — no way am I going into the middle of that refugee camp today. For all we know, Brooks is wandering around in there.
Apparently, I”m upset. 😛
