I feel the same.
The article was too long so I probably missed it, but what's the basis for thinking Campbell is not involved in the shooting? Just because she was active in the Black community at Harvard?

From what I've gathered from articles and friends there, there's not a ton to suggest that she
wasn't involved; rumors had been surfacing for some time that she was involved in drug dealing.
I don't disagree with the students who won't sign because they have to think about their futures too. It's harder to be a student activist now because of the unforgiving nature of the internet; plenty of the student of color activists I knew in college have done a complete 180 and have expressed a desire to shed that part of their past--it's pretty much impossible now.
It's a shame, too--she was a Prep for Prep kid, got a ton of scholarships and competitive internships, and was set to graduate from Harvard. Now, the same type of people who many people worked hard to get her away from are the ones who brought her to where she is now. I hope it doesn't get much worse for her.
