#1 : Just because she knew her assailant does not mean the kidnapping didn't take place. Many women are assaulted by people they know. This is what I see in the update: Oh, you knew him? Then maybe he didn't kidnap you. What is he? Old boyfriend? You know we can charge you for a false complaint, right? Effing cops.
#2: This is one of MANY campus alerts from GSU pertaining to an alleged attack by a black man. Every GSU student who checks the student email has seen at least one of these alerts. In fact, most of the suspects are black men. I wonder if GSU security is deliberately creating (or contributing to) an atmosphere of racial anxiety.
Campus Alert = Black Suspect.
Don't believe me? Check your campus mail. Let me know if you find other suspects besides black men.
