isn't that a nice neighborhood? I walk by there sometimes. I remember someone getting shot around there last year too by a stray.
what blocks are bad in that area? at the top of that hill there's a luxury rental too
that area is fine. Morningside Park can get sketchy because the ratchets from grant go there. There’s a small pocket of seedy folk off of Morningside ave but nothin crazy. Area is still safe
People like to blame the victim because it makes them feel secure. "I won't ever do such and such, so that will never happen to me". It makes them feel better.
That said, it's wise to practice caution and common sense as much as it depends on you, all the while knowing s*** happens regardless.
Unfortunately, "precautions" are necessary, but they really shouldn't be, or not to that extent. People should be able to walk trough a park near Columbia at 8 pm without being murdered. Criminals should not be determining how other people live in the city, in any part of the city. Criminals belong only to designated areas called jails.
NYPD should have freedom and resources to do their job of protecting the public. Preventive measures (such as broken windows and stop/frisk) should be implemented.Criminals should actually get punished when they are found to be doing something illegal. All criminal records, adult and juvenile, should be public - it should be up to employers and landlords whether they want to trust people with such records. NYC would be very safe in no time if these measures were pursued, regardless of economics. It is NOT economics - evidenced by the fact that the vast majority of low income people are NOT criminal. It is not economics that causes crime, it is the criminals' belief that they can get away with crime (and of course they can if NYPD is made to serve only decorative purposes).
She put herself in a sketchy situation by buying weed in or walking into that park at night
yup, the recent crowd has a real lack of street smarts. That's going to bite them in the ass as the crime rates keep going up with the lax law enforcement policies of the current administration
Opinion:
Like tho old saying goes. All crap rolls down hill.
Campus and affluence perched on a hill overlooking poverty and garbage below.
Know the location very well. Walked those steps many a time dawn and dusk.
Took me about 10 to 20 minutes from bottom to top. Best be on your guard at all times.
Poor kid was either naive of her surroundings or like many outgoing people, beautiful and unafraid.
Stay within your comfort zone school kids. There's a reason why security guards and law enforcement
has been buzzing for years all over this so called quaint little neighborhood. It's for your protection.
R.I.P. Kid................
Was reading about how she fought back and then made it to the top of the stairs, but the stab wounds were in the face and neck. They must have hit an artery.

Or empowered by the "go girl" mentality, she was fearless in believing she could do whatever she wanted, whenever she wanted, because the current mindset encourages the perspective that to discuss taking precautions contributes to "blaming the victim."

The victim blaming you're engaging in is disgusting. What did she do that was so out of the norm? She was right next to the college that she was attending.

Yeah. Reminds me of Kitty Genovese. I really wish things turned out better for either of them. RIP.
