ANOTHER armed robbery
Seeing a bunch of stuff on facebook, apparently an armed robbery occurred at Smith Burnham during the day today.

Yikes, my old dorm.

I don't know what the security and locks measures are like there nowadays in the dorms, but time to tighten up.

RE: ANOTHER armed robbery
Halls to the rooms were always locked, and the main entry doors were locked at 9pm, if I remember from my time in the dorms a few years ago.

Not that it's difficult to get let in, but I wouldn't be surprised if the perpetrators had a key.

RE: ANOTHER armed robbery
I don't think you're going to stop fellow students not of the dorm from entering / leaving the dorm areas. Even if you make it like night, and say, swipe your Bronco card thru a reader, during the day you're going to have droves coming in and out -- that's not going to stop it. But I guess it'd more symbolic to heed any calls to pull such a stunt.

Still, what was pulled of is.. just.. Wow.

Makes me think if either:

(a) The student made it up due to something coming up he needed to get out of (a test, paper due, etc) and he ran with it. Crazy idea? Yeah, but so is two dudes coming in incognito with backpacks, into a dorm and holding up a random dorm in the afternoon! Really? REALLY? The story, IMO, is more far fetched than coming up with a "a dog ate my homework" story on steroids.

(b) Maybe he owed some guys some $$ for pot or bets, or they were guys he was pissing off or were bullying him or whatever... either way they knew him, he pointed out they had guns to make it more official to refer to so his parents could front him some more money (or replace whatever items they took as collateral or whatever).

You do need a key to get up the stairs, but people hold those doors open for people waiting outside all the time. It's not hard to get into the dorms during the day.

Mlive reports it was a targeted robbery for the product the student sells from the dorm room.
Wonder what that was?

Most of these armed robberies are like that. Either the people involved knew each other and have a history, or it's a situation like this where the whole thing was sketchy from the start.

Prohibition works so well. Let's keep the status quo.

Where there's drugs there's money, and with money there will be guns.

And with booze, there'll be babes! So says the beer commercials and real life when in the right places. Hence, you do more than booze, you lose!

Dirty says babes are good. Just don't drive if booze is involved. Tell them the best policy is to spend the night.
