Ali-G says, "That's a bit racialist, don't you think?"

I got this in my email today.

Incident and Safety Advisory

On October 4, 2005, an A&M student met with a university official to
report an incident that occurred at her house in south College Station.

On September 24, 2005, at approximately 4 a.m., the College Station
Police Department responded to the 2300 block of Axis Court in
reference to a burglary of a habitation in progress. While sleeping,
the student victim woke up to observe an unknown nude male peeking at
her from the foot of the bed. The victim startled the subject and he
ran from the room and presumably out the front door. The victim and
her roommate ran out of the house through the back door to safety and
called the police. After a search of the area, the police could not
find the unknown subject.

The victim described the subject as follows:
Black male
Early 20’s
Low cut hair
Thin build (lanky)

If you witnessed or have any information regarding this crime, please
call the College Station Police Department at (979) 764-3600. If you
wish to remain anonymous, you have the option of contacting Brazos
County Crime Stoppers at (979) 775-TIPS.

The victim wishes to share this information with the desire of
preventing any further occurrences.

Safety Tips:

• Always lock your exterior doors when sleeping or home alone.
• Install a door viewer so you can see who’s there without opening the
door.
• Close drapes or blinds at night.
• Use light timers.
• Don’t automatically open the door - have the person identify
themselves.
• Do not give personal information to a solicitor you do not know.
• Have your exterior door locks re-keyed or changed when you move into
a new residence.

This sort of non-sense is why I sleep with a loaded gun. Charlton Heston is my president. NRA4EVA.

Don't be confused, this is quite a scary situation indeed. I'm fairly certain though that I wouldn't have heard about it if it was just some pimply-faced, white kid caught sniffing some panties. Thankfully, the university went to the trouble of describing the subject...that way, when I see some shaggy, fat fellow rifling through my things, I won't have to worry about a thing.

Of course, including the description of the subject is meant for those with information regarding the incident.

If you were Michael Moore though, this would instantly become an example of white people's irrational fears of a black uprising. I really don't buy into all that. I just think it's interesting to find something like this in my email the same week I watch Bowling for Columbine for the first time.

To add to all that, before I got down here, there were two incidents of international students being assaulted in the popular Northgate area, where pretty much all of the bar scene is located.

Whatever all this is worth (and I am failing to process it all because my head is completely under the influence of Sudafed at the moment), I think it would be wise of me to start locking the doors here at my humble abode.
