University of Houston crime reports thread.

[Jakashh]

I've decided to make a thread where I will post the emails I receive from the University regarding crime. I had one a while ago where a girl escaped from an attempted abduction from a gas station near campus, but that's buried deep in my emails. If anything, maybe someone could use it as a case towards campus carry.

Main campus is surrounded by the 3rd ward, which is pretty ghetto...

Anywho, here is the kicker start off for the thread. It happened in broad daylight, 2:00 PM on a sunday!!

I used to run at night through campus around 2:00am after studying. I hid nunchucks under my forearms. Cops always waved with no idea. Some of us had pistols in our rooms just kept quiet. This was back in the late 1970's when laws were lax. Now no way I would do that today. Need campus carry legal.
