PC students probably cause more crime in that area than they experience as we all know who have lived in RI. They have a reputation for it.

There is zero reason why I should "respect" your obsessive reports.

With due respect, Holly, you don't seem to have a firm grasp of the situation. Please watch the video redplum posted so we can have an intelligent discussion.

When I did Uber several years ago, I would invariably get groups of 10 kids trying to cram into my 5 passenger car over there.

It feels like there's some victim blaming going on here.

Meghan Cowl and Abbie Wiinikainen were out with their mothers and having fun, laughing, and minding their own business when they were viciously attacked.

IMO, it is reprehensible to even remotely suggest that they somehow deserved this.

Fully agree. And what a way to deflect, there is zero indication that any of the suspects were PC students.

Yes, all crime is reprehensible. So is fearmongering. What's the point here??
