Three aggravated robberies in the past three weeks? Yikes. And the fact he keeps going back to the RLM makes me wonder how bad he wants that laser.
According to the descriptions from UTPD, the culprit is about 6 foot, medium build, wearing a black mask, and brandishing a weapon. 
In other words, if you see a dude like this walking around, you’ve got him.
Crime has risen on the premises, no doubt. There was not even a record of a robbery or forced burglary on UT campus in 2008 according to the UTPD crime statistics. In 2007, only one forced burglary was reported and no robberies whatsoever.
So what’s the deal? How safe are we really? UT administrators have refused to disclose the number of surveillance cameras on campus or their locations.
With finals coming up, walking home at night is inevitable (except at that point, no student is nothin’ to f with). Walking in groups at this time is especially inconvenient.
Safety is knowing where we can be observed on camera. Some pepper spray wouldn’t kill you either (get it at any bicycle shop–there is one on 24th and Rio Grande and another on 29th and Lamar).
Protect yourself–Zorro is still out there.
