Thanks for the info., justamom. Yes Tigergirl, I was always careful, (carrying mace, not walking alone) but now I am extrememly careful! A friend of mine signed up for TaeKwan Doe (spelled wrong) classes and I thought that was a great idea. I did think that police chief should not have made a comment like that because I feel that it was a relatively safe area. Yes, two high profile murders have occured around LSU but one also occured in an otherwise quiet neighborhood, about 15 min or more from there (Kinamore) I am also concerned with the number of women who are choosing to buy guns. Most guns stores were sold out. I am doubtful that in the event of an emergency the women would have time to get their guns. I am also fearful of children finding these guns, or women being so afraid that they shoot someone who was harmless. About ten years ago I guess, a foreign exchange student went to the wrong house looking for a costume party and a lady opened the door and then quickly shut it. She told her husband to get a gun and he did. He told the boy to freeze and I guess the boy didn't understand because the husband shot him.
Tigergirl- Do you remember in 1999 a Theta, Kassie Federer was shot in her apartment? This was before I came to LSU but my mom remembers it. This is one of our unsolved murders. I don't remember the description that they gave of the man, but my mom said that it sounded similar to the description of the serial killer. Light skin and hair and thin to medium build. It could be related. However the way of killing is different. Although the police said that the killer is becoming more and more violent.
I was slightly comforted when I went out in Tigerland to see more cops patrolling the area than ever before. I think security also needs to be increased during the daytime as well.
I feel like such a bearer of bad news, I am always posting about sad things.
