Here's what happened 2 weeks ago in Baton Rouge, LA.
Pre-med student working at Olive Garden (in very *good* area of town, they don't put Olive Gardens in the ghetto). He walked outside to help a female co-worker put gas in her car. Two BG approached, demanded everything. Both victims complied *completely* and fully submitted.
Both were then shot, pre-med student is dead, the girl was hit in the leg. LSU is pretty shook up about this. One of my students missed class for the funeral. $10,000 reward up now, no suspects. They're still on the street.
This burns me up. Promising student killed for *no reason*. I don't see how they could have done much differently. Remember, these days the BG would just as soon kill you as leave you, even if you do everything "right".

"After Arnold and the woman handed over everything they had, they were both shot, detectives said.
Arnold was killed. His female co-worker was shot in the leg but survived."
I used to live right up the street, and it's maybe 2 miles from my favorite shooting range. Good area, broad daylight, compliant victims. Hard working student killed for no reason. There's a lot of pissed off people.
I carry, but I am not allowed to carry on campus, where I spend 90% of my time. Thoughts?
