Campus security ‘is all over campus.’ Awesome.

who both live in an off-campus near the school’s Spokane, OR., campus

...and I thought Americans were supposed to be bad at geography.

[SandRat]

To the Lib mind they should have let the perk kill them.

[GeronL]

Insane.

The university think their students have a duty to die

[NoLibZone]

The burglars are solid DNC voters.

They DNC will do all they can to ensure their community level redistribution plans continue.

US prisons over flow with democrats.

” live in an off-campus”

Sue the university for millions of dollars. This is outrageous.

[Kirkwood]

Gonzaga portable gun-free zone goes where you go.

[rockinqsranch]

Never trust your life to an effing Liberal. They’re going to righteously do exactly the wrong thing.

[Still Thinking]

And their jurisdiction to punish students for engaging in legal behavior off-campus? Shoot, hit them for more money than you’d make in a lifetime with a degree from their “school”, and all is well.

The duo will find out their fate as early as this week

An interesting lawsuit?

When asked by the station how students are expected to defend themselves in the face of such a restriction, the school claimed campus security ‘is all over campus.’

Ha, ha! Good one! These guys live OFF CAMPUS!

‘The university’s weapons policy forbids the possession of weapons... in both on-campus and off-campus housing,’ a spokesperson told the station.

Since Gonzaga is a private Jesuit school, the best bet for these students is to appeal to the bishop of Spokane to act as a reasonable mediator. While the school may legitimately expect its students to maintain both morality and decorum, to expect them to be victimized or murdered while off campus, just to obey an arbitrary rule that they be unarmed and helpless, is foolish indeed.

No harm came of their actions, and two lives might have been saved. This is far more important than whimsical and secular rules.

[Wanderer99]

so what? Why would they want to get an education at a facility run by such idiots?

[bgill]

The university’s weapons policy forbids the possession of weapons… in both on-campus and off-campus housing,’

Power extends even off campus. So, this little bitty 4000 student pissant college no one has ever heard of trumps the US Constitution. Hope those boys end up owning it.

[MinuteGal]

What would Bing Crosby say about this?

[DemforBush]

This story left out one very important detail. The off-campus housing the students are living in is university housing - i.e. it is not a private apartment complex, but off-campus housing owned by the university. As such, it is subject to the same rulees as the campus dorms and classrooms.

Now, I can't blame the students for their actions, and in fact they put up with the crumby perp far longer than I would have. So, I hope they do not get expelled. But I also have to reluctantly agree that the university is probably within its legal rights here, as sucky as their decision is.

[Bob In Spokane]

Gonzaga is in an EXTREMELY nasty part of Spokane. Crime, particularly property crimes, are very common around there because of all the social lowlifes preying on the “rich” students. But the statistics get downplayed because it would make the very prestigious university look bad.

[Bob In Spokane]

I wonder what the reaction would be if these were young women instead of men. Or how much media attention this would be getting if this “career criminal” hadn't found himself facing armed resistance. The frequent criminal activity in that area gets overlooked a lot because it might make Gonzaga look bad, and that's not about to be allowed to happen.
Gonzaga may be a prestigious and well regarded university with a good basketball team, but it's not a safe area, especially when the sun isn't up.

[chessplayer]

The apartments the students were living in are owned and run by the school.

[Ted Grant]

Sue the pants off them. Ruin careers. Break up families. Make their children cry.
