RE: We apparently have a tragedy affecting EMU
After we pay the proper respects to this young man the community, the alumni and everyone else needs to talk about how we can put an end to this.

It can't be done, it has been going for thousands of years. Also remember there was a young lady murder a couple of years ago and she lived in the south side. I am a substitute teacher and have even been assaulted in a class room. Learn your surroundings, learn who lives around you, protect yourself as best you can.

If I remember correctly we just had a young lady killed earlier this year. I know what can be done, students need to be prohibited from living in the apartments with the locals. Let's be honest Ypsi is not the best of areas and yes the housing apartments offer some cheap prices but is it really worth it. Like I said during my years in Ypsi it was not just one incident. Something happened every week and I feel like my friends that went to other schools did not have that happen to them. "Learn your surroundings, learn who lives around you, and protect yourself" I mean come on man you can't be serious.

RE: We apparently have a tragedy affecting EMU
Here is a well researched article.

http://www.freep.com/article/20131018/NE...arius-Reed

The body was found by Reed's roommate, Julius Shelby, and has extensive quotes from Julius' father.

One has got to really feel for Julius. I'm sure he is pretty shaken up.

EDIT:

Here is the Detroit News article.

http://www.detroitnews.com/article/20131...|FRONTPAGE

Has quote from Roland Rance, the guy we talked about as a recruit, who is a sitout at EMU.

He used the term 'robbery' and indicated that it happened like 7:00 a.m.

Robbery at 7:00 a.m. OMG.

Reed and basketball player, Darrel Combs, were tight.

RE: We apparently have a tragedy affecting EMU
I think EMU needs to do what it can to become a residential college. Increase the number of dorms/apartments that are available to students, and prohibit off-campus living for the first three years.

That policy would make a dent.

RE: We apparently have a tragedy affecting EMU
Interesting that English did his weekly radio segment on WTKA this morning at 8 am. Of course no mention of Reed's death, but considering reports state the police were called at 7:15 am, so I would think English must have known during his interview.

After weeks of having to speak about losses, I cannot imagine talking about the Ohio game mere minutes after losing a player. For all the grief we've given English (well deserved), I credit him in holding it together this morning.

Very serious. Or you can cage yourself in. I've lived on my own since I was 16 . I've in lived in places that would scare you. You have to learn that or you die. You can't live in fear. Yes that Clark St is a bad place and I can name several others but I teach here and I know more than seem to give credit for .07-coffee3

You're missing the point.

The point is this -- why would any potential student-athlete come to a drug- and violence-infested area unless they had no other choice?

The answer is that most wouldn't. EMU, as a culture and institution, now has a very real and very public safety issue to address. To wave it away with the " it's always been this way" line is unethical and unwise.

Listen, this is not about your street cred or whatever you want to name it. I have traveled all over the world and myself lived in not so hot parts but that is besides the point. This is an institution of higher learning where kids and young adults should feel safe and not do what you described. Take this kid for example, he got out of Chi town were probably a lot of his friends and family have been affected by the violence. He arrived at our university to gain an education and make a life for himself and now he is in a casket. You don't see something wrong with this? This should be a safe place for everyone not a hood where you don't go certain places. Think before you write something because the fact that you lived in hard neoghboorhoods brings NOTHING into this debate since we all come from.different backgrounds

I'm not an EMU grad and I feel bad about this tragedy, but I gotta say, from most accounts, attending EMU is slightly safer than being in the 'hood. College students do not deserve living in and around that type of environment. Sorry.

And again EVERY PLACE has places where the average person cannot go. To claim that Ypsilanti has more and is more dangerous is just wrong!

RE: We apparently have a tragedy affecting EMU
All,

Can we stay focused and think about what the Reed family is going thru.. Lets just post nice things here and pay tribute to a young man who lost his life at such a young age..

This thread is about Reed and what he meant to this school..

Leave comments about other things to another thread..

PLEASE!!!!

Because its more dangerous at EMU, and its surrounding ares, than most other campuses and surrounding areas.

I saw where the President issued a comment, the AD issued one but I don't recall seeing one from the Head Coach. Was there one?

Listen, this is not about your street cred or whatever you want to name it. I have traveled all over the world and myself lived in not so hot parts but that is besides the point. This is an institution of higher learning where kids and young adults should feel safe and not do what you described. Take this kid for example, he got out of Chi town were probably a lot of his friends and family have been affected by the violence. He arrived at our university to gain an education and make a life for himself and now he is in a casket. You don't see something wrong with this? This should be a safe place for everyone not a hood where you don't go certain places. Think before you write something because the fact that you lived in hard neoghboorhoods brings NOTHING into this debate since we all come from.different backgrounds
And again EVERY PLACE has places where the average person cannot go. To claim that Ypsilanti has more and is more dangerous is just wrong!

We certainly see more of our students murdered than other schools. Why is that, do you think?

Because its more dangerous at EMU, and its surrounding ares, than most other campuses and surrounding areas.


Holybovine, I just went back and read some of your previous posts. Now I know you weren't just being naive, asking why emu has more murders than most college campuses. There definitely is a higher level of violence on EMU's campus than most college campuses and there is a direct correlation between the violence and the lax academic standards students need to gain acceptance to EMU. Maybe you agree with that?

Your statements on this subject are ill-informed and downright ludicrous. Please.

Also remember there was a young lady murder a couple of years ago and she lived in the south side. I am a substitute teacher and have even been assaulted in a class room. Learn your surroundings, learn who lives around you, protect yourself as best you can.

If I remember correctly we just had a young lady killed earlier this year. I know what can be done, students need to be prohibited from living in the apartments with the locals. Let's be honest Ypsi is not the best of areas and yes the housing apartments offer some cheap prices but is it really worth it. Like I said during my years in Ypsi it was not just one incident. Something happened every week and I feel like my friends that went to other schools did not have that happen to them. "Learn your surroundings, learn who lives around you, and protect yourself" I mean come on man you can't be serious.

Very serious. Or you can cage yourself in. I've lived on my own since I was 16 . I've in lived in places that would scare you. You have to learn that or you die. You can't live in fear.

I'm not an EMU grad and I feel bad about this tragedy, but I gotta say, from most accounts, attending EMU is slightly safer than being in the 'hood. College students do not deserve living in and around that type of environment. Sorry.

You no idea of what you are talking about. EMU is above average for safty and Ypsilanti most favorably with most communities that large student populations.
