Earlier this week, a Virginia Tech student had been charged with the improper disposal of a dead body. Now, another student was charged for the murder and abduction of a 13 year old girl from Blacksburg, where Virginia Tech is. Eisenhower, the Tech student, had made prior acquaintance with the young girl, and used this for leverage. It was reported that the girl's cabinet was pushed against the door, and it was predicted that the college student climbed through her window. Many citizens were surprised by this occurrence, saying that they often leave their doors open, unaware of how unsafe the situation is.
This story disgusts me for every reason. This connects to APUSH, because during the Gilded Age senseless crime rates were highest they have ever been. Now, this age is reoccurring because of the availability of weapons and the newest technologies.

This is such a horrifying story. I am so sorry for her friends and family. I really hope that colleges will learn from this and bump up the security at all colleges.
ReplyDeleteHearing about these kind of things never gets any easier. This is sickening. Hopefully people will learn from these incidents and prevent them from happening in the future.
