I love the poll at the bottom of the story: USC is reeling after the murders of two graduate students. Is the area around campus as safe as it should be?"

Is the area around campus as safe as it should be?

Depends on your metric, I suppose. Whadda figger is the right number of graduate students killed per semester? One, two, ten? I like zero, which would make my answer a definite "NO!".

When people fear attempting a car jacking because car jackers are shot by their intended victims or hanged by the state, then I think the area around campus will be safe enough.

“Is the area around campus as safe as it should be?”....

Are you kidding? The area is ghetto one block in any direction...
