Looking forward to your answer.

why are we using "dark complexion" to describe suspects now? my driver's license says "white". it's a descriptor, not a label.

4/17/2008 1:35:10 AM

surprise surprise the suspect was of DARK complexion.

Isn't this like the 2nd or 3rd mugging near doak stadium in the last month?

4/17/2008 1:45:11 AM

Yeah, I think the guy who got assaulted by the 5 people on bikes was over in that area.

The other two I remember happening this semester were on Avent Ferry and on Centennial Campus.

^ depends most robbers start off the attack with hey I have a gun or knife with it displayed. I might resist if he was just trying to hit me and I had a lot of cash.

this is the 4th robbery in like 6 weeks (one being in pure daylight), this is not counting the butload of cars that get hit.

its because of the gas prices

4/17/2008 4:07:32 AM

Did anyone go by that area around 3:30PM yesterday?

There were three police vehicle all talking to this one guy one a bike. Certainly the crime didn't take place in broad daylight again, and they lied to make it seem better.

Also, WRAL has reported more attempted robberies on NCSU campus that NCSU police has sent out e-mails for this year...

It is between sullivan and western on varsity, which is right next to Wolf Village. and it happens to be across the street from doak field, not right behind it.

Hell no. Without a weapon, its just a big black guy. Unless hes ripped like a builder, he isn't that much of a threat. If you are a girl I can see doing that. But otherwise, if you start fighting back, the mugger is just gonna run. Hell, even if they have a weapon, if you resist usually they just run anyways.

People are getting robbed ~once a week, and we have three vehicles (4-6 officers) report to a guy riding two bikes?

riding two bikes...what a daredevil

4/17/2008 9:30:31 AM

^^ ok, after further inspection it appears that there is a "race" label but it is left blank. which implies it was once there but at some point they decided to leave it blank. i'm pretty sure i remember it being there early on like when i first got my license.

out of curiosity i looked at my passport and birth certificate. the passport doesn't have anything about you except name, gender, and birth date. the birth certificate doesn't explicitly say my race, but it does have both for my parents.

why can't they just pick a color and put a box filled with that color for skin complexion.

i mean nobody is perfectly any color. and does dark mean dark chinese? or dark indian??

4/17/2008 1:34:27 PM

i saw the guy with 2 bikes riding from over near the tri towers

dark obviously means black

obviously not, i could see where there's confusion as well

but the dreadlocks give it away

well in that case

maybe it was a really tan hippie

Well, it's kind of funny that when you call 9-1-1, they ask you what color the person is. So why isn't that info good for others to know?

4/17/2008 5:46:52 PM

why can't they just say Black, White, Hispanic, Chinese, Indian, or whatever best describes what you are

4/17/2008 6:00:38 PM

[Edited on April 17, 2008 at 7:29 PM. Reason : d]

4/17/2008 7:29:25 PM

^^ because some races (i.e. hispanic) have people that look like any of those.

4/17/2008 7:35:38 PM

black pretty much sums it up though

they could say fair-skinned black/hispanic/whatever, but race is still an identifying feature

4/17/2008 7:38:00 PM

Hispanic people can be white or black.



Just say white, black, or shemar moore.
