haha. My college constantly e-mails me safety alerts...about robberies and stabbings. If I received an e-mail about something like this I'd block their e-mail address.

FTFA: Male described as older than college age."

Considering the age variety of people in college these days the guy must've been farting dust as he walked by

WTF is this shiat?

Sounds like a dangerous situation to me! YIKES!!!

Maybe he was just practicing his landings.

/was she hot?

FTFA: ...a suspicious incident occurred...A male approached a female from the opposite direction and came up within several feet of her personal space.

Sounds like she came within several feet of his personal space too.
It is two people walking in opposite directions...nothing more! Suspicious, indeed!

/she sounds fat

In case they remove it:

FTFM

really? he walked near her? and i thought there was something more to the article than the headline suggests.

/I almost dont wanna say it
//nanny state
///there ya go
////lets not make a thread around it
//i might be a slashy addict

NEWSFLASH: If you are a male in the US, the higher-education system would like you to know that you are a rapist and the cause of all of life's problems.

I worry about this shiat happening to me all the time. I look like a psychopath. I'm harmless though.........really.

Wow, I've done stuff like that several times. I must be a serial killer, rapist, misogynist, pervert monster who's one step away from Jack the Ripper. Never realized that about myself.

The Grinch: NEWSFLASH: If you are a male in the US, the higher-education system would like you to know that you are a rapist and the cause of all of life's problems.

Also, if you're a female in college, the women's studies department would like you to think that you have 1/3 chance of getting out of college without being raped. FEAR ALL MEN.

This will be breaking news on cable news in 3....2...1

Well I guess it's good that there aren't shopping saftey alerts or anything, because it'd blow up from that bullshiat. Someone go cry this woman a river or something. sheesh.

Maybe he thought she was someone else, walked up to talk to her and then realized it wasn't the same person and left.
Though, most people would generally say "Oh sorry, thought you were someone else."

Perhaps he just has really poor social skills.

Women's studies major.

This is all kinds of stupid. But hey, this is why when I take my dog for a walk I RUN past the houses that have kids playing the yard because otherwise the parents will come out and clutch their children, like I'm some deranged phedophile just WAITING for my chance to snatch their precious little snowflakes.

/can't I just walk my stupid dog and not feel like a heel?
//in the story, can't a man just WALK without issuing a campus alert?

could you describe the personal space?

\not quite obscure enough

Nicholas Urfe: Also, if you're a female in college, the women's studies department would like you to think that you have 1/3 chance of getting out of college without being raped.

Not the Women's Studies dept. The police.

I'm glad you consider it funny that lots of female college students get raped.

Suspect is hatless. Repeat, hatless.

FTFM

Tonight. You.

I was walking to my car the other night, and there was this girl just standing in the parking lot. She really creeped me out. She didn't do anything, just stand there. I just walked past her and goped she wouldn't follow me.

I hope you reported it to the police so they'd issue a city-wide alert!

Next on Oprah, "women only" walking paths ... because if you see a man, you automatically know he shouldn't be there.

Great. My alma mater has officially gone wuss.

Except for the basketball team, of course.

Hahaha, I got an email about this, as did freaking everyone on campus.



/Go UConn basketball
//Duke Sucks

Looks like Nancy Grace has material for when that Caylee Anthony story stops pulling in the ratings.

It's called a sidewalk, get over it.

//oh noes scary man walking on same sidewalk I am on oh noes.

She probably transferred from Duke.

*moments before --- inside someone's head*
You should ask her out.
NO, she'll say no!
DO IT.
I don't want to be rejected!
Who cares, there are many fish in the sea!
Alright, I'll do it.
WAIT, NO, I CAN'T! I HAVE TO PULL BACK!

I tried to, but my English was so horrible in my previous post they just laughed at me.

Now they need to give this alert a nifty color.

Amber = Missing Children
Silver = Elderly who wander away

...hmmm...

Mauve? Yes! MAUVE ALERT!!
UConn needs to issue a MAUVE ALERT!!

Now to put it in the proper context:



UCONN Police issue a MAUVE ALERT:

On 2/7/09 at approximately 6:35 PM a mauve alert was issue by UCONN police as a suspicious male approached an unsuspicious female from a suspiciously opposite direction and came up within several miles of her personal space. The female turned around and left the area. The male walked away in the suspiciously opposite direction. The male did not say anything or make physical contact with the female. The intention of the male is unknown, but considered very suspicious. Description as follows: Suspicious. Male described as suspicious.

If you have any information or witnessed the incident please call UConn Police at 486-4800. As always, you are encouraged to travel in groups at night, in well lit areas and heavily arm yourselves for protection. Please notify the thought police of any suspicious activity immediately.



/Nicolai Hel would frown at these shenanigans.
//Obscure?
///Bonus for the relationship between mauve and nicolai hel.

In other news, men walk on sidewalks too.

Dude, they are afraid of your biting machine companion, not you.

You're a man = you are bad. Or, at least worthy of suspician. Keep your distance, gents.

Also, I wonder whether or not this "older than college age" guy was there visiting his daughter/son. Or a professor she didn't recognize.

A male approached a female from the opposite direction and came up within several feet of her personal space

So, if I'm near a campus and some mouth breathing, saggy tittied bar skank parks next to me on a stool, I can call the cops?

I'm glad you consider it funny that lots of female college students get raped.

I'm glad you're a wussy little man-biatch on the women's-libbers' leash.

PROTIP: Having a drunken one-night stand and waking up with a case of regret does not constitute rape.

I like how a little buttcheek gets mod'd but the nude art is okay.

So the poor schmuck was weirded out when he became aware that the woman was freaked out by his mere presence on a public street and turned around to avoid spooking her farther -- sounds perfectly logical on his part. Totally insane alert on the part of the campus cops. Walking while male is now a crime?

I can see the scene on their campus now:

UConn: Police officer: Well, when an adult male is chasing a female with intent to commit rape, I shoot the bastard. That's my policy.

UConn Police captain: Intent? How did you establish that?

UConn Police officer: Well, when a normally-clothed man approaches a female from the opposite direction and came up within several feet of her personal space, then walks in the opposite direction, I figure he isn't out collecting for the Red Cross.

bubbaprog: Nicholas Urfe: Also, if you're a female in college, the women's studies department would like you to think that you have 1/3 chance of getting out of college without being raped.

I'm glad you consider it funny that lots of female college students get raped.

You have to perform a lot of mental acrobatics to turn the reported crime statistics into "2/3 of you are going to be raped," including, but not limited to, expanding the definition of 'rape' past 'almost rape' to 'felt uncomfortable.'

Wrong_Intentions:

Outstanding! You win the thread!

/lmao

crab66: I like how a little buttcheek gets mod'd but the nude art is okay.

Well, the butt cheek might inspire you to get into someone's personal space.

Would you censor the Venus de Venus just because you can see her spewers?
