Student robbed near NC State

Raleigh, N.C. — One person was arrested and two more are being sought Tuesday after a male student reported being robbed at gunpoint near North Carolina State University, police said.

The student was walking south on Dan Allen Drive toward Fraternity County Monday night when a blue or purple small car approached him and stopped. A man got out of the car, pointed a handgun at him and demanded all his personal belongings.

The robber then got back into the car, where two other men were waiting, and took off east on Western Boulevard.

The car might have South Carolina license plate number HQU-804.

Anyone with information is asked to call campus police at 919-515-3000.

Not exactly sure what you were trying to say, but I do know that Columbia SC has a higher murder rate than Chicago.

I hope they find these criminals. No where is safe anymore. Don't carry a lot of cash on you; not even your credit or debit card. Carry enough to catch the bus or cab. Be safe.

Media censoring is wrong.

"Why didn't WRAL include the description that was included on the NC State Police release?" - COMMENT

The media censors their news due to many reasons, probably, but one would be to avoid eliciting racial comments on this forum, but greater would be to please groups that don't want descriptions that fit stereotypes. WRAL will not reveal those groups who pressure them to censor reports.

Strangely, the sex of the offenders and victims are freely given, as are the age range. That's sexism and ageism, if telling the sex is racism.

We do know the color of the car, if that helps you be on the look out when walking about.

I'm against censorship of reporting. I'd like to see follow up reporting to see how successful criminals were in school (grade/course of study/reading level), if their fathers were in the home, age of mother at time of first birth, substance abuse in the home.

With this, we could see what to do to prevent or predict crime.
