Recent BC "Hate Crime"

Campus seems to be on the rise right now. Everyone's middle name is probably Malcolm X. Angry students scream for justice on a story that doesn't quite agree with itself (in my opinion). A couple of questions I would have to ask myself if I was the girl who was allegedly called a "dirty spic" and "stabbed and kicked" two consecutive days:

1) What would make me think going out a second day without a friend at abnormal hours was okay after I was just attacked yesterday?

2) Why didn't I try a little harder when he "kicked" me to get a better description of him for the police?

3) What "stabbing" is so miniscule that by the very next day, I am out and about again unless it was in fact, "a scratch"?

4) Why did I not follow up with BCPD on my own when it happened, or was I giving myself enough time to create a believable story?

5)Is my high and mighty courage a tactic to draw attention away from the more important issues going on and to place it on myself?

Just some of the questions I thought I would ask myself if I was in her shoes. But I'm not. So in the end, she can take this story however far she wants to and to whom ever she wants to. Hopefully she doesn't ruin the face of my alma mater. I think I would have done a few things a little differently though.
