RICHMOND, Va. --

Police are searching today for a group of about 15 young people believed to have punched one passerby and robbed and beaten another in rapid succession on Virginia Commonwealth University's main downtown Richmond campus.

Neither victim was seriously injured in the two attacks, which happened along Shafer Street on the Monroe Park campus about 2:55 a.m.

VCU and Richmond police described the assailants as a group of 15 black males between the ages of 17 and 22.

“Last night there was a tremendous amount of activity in this area between the hours of 2 a.m. and 3 a.m.,” VCU Police Chief John Venuti said at a morning news conference.

Yet another reason I would never send my child to VCU (aside from the massive liberal bias). I lived in Richmond and went down there a fair bit...VCU’s campus is in central Richmond, and parts of it are in not-very-nice areas. It is very much an urban school. Students down there would be well advised to keep their heads on a swivel and carry concealed if they’re out after dark...but of course all campus buildings are “gun-free zones.” Unfortunately for them, Monroe Park is not an “Obama’s-son-free zone.”

Also noticed the Times-Disgrace isn’t allowing comments on that article. I’m so surprised.
