Wow I will not be sending my daughter to study at UC Berkeley. It seems there is a negro crime epidemic there.
On
Saturday, July 28 2012 at approximately 6:41 p.m., a strong arm
robbery occurred on the 2300 block of Telegraph Avenue. The male
victim, an exchange student, was getting money from an ATM machine when
he was approached from behind by the suspect. The suspect grabbed the
victim’s money and fled on foot. BPD and UCPD responded and searched
the area. A short time later the suspect was apprehended by BPD and
positively identified. The victim was not injured during the
encounter.
The suspect is described as:
PERSON, Stanley
Carnell, a Black Male, 33 years of age, approximately 6’5” in height,
with a dark complexion, clean shaven, wearing a blue jean jacket and
black backpack
Lol at the daily cal deliberately deleting his race from the UCPD police alert. Wouldn’t want any readers to know that he is a back male.
Generally speaking, I’d agree with you-but not in this case. If a criminal suspect is still at large, the Daily Cal should indeed report his race and other prominent physical characteristics. But if he has already been apprehended, reporting his race is not important…
I always hope it helps to jump start a change in the culture. Kind of like a school progress report. If your parents got a bad progress report, they would work to make changes. I hope these crime statistics motivate the leaders of the black community to make changes to their community’s culture. There is too much celebration of the criminal and too little celebration of honest achievement or hard work.
berkeley city sucks so bad
