people shooting up gas and train stations probably won’t be all too dissuaded by a couple of university students with picket signs

Random criminal shooting up a store with the gun they got on the street/stole that already committed multiple felonies probably don’t give a shit about stricter gun laws or protestors u right


Glittering_Sun5968

i agree, guns aren’t the problem. it’s the crazy people that keep threatening our campus! they all need to be eliminated before they cause more harm


Glittering_Sun5968

when i shove my sign up their ass they will be. us as students need to start putting our foot down against these sick criminals that are ruining our beautiful gsu campus


cmcelhannon

When you turn 21 and get a CCW you can conseal carry in class, at UGA at least. Atl prolly has some city law against it.


Brilliant-Zucchini50

it happened at the Marta Station. what do you want them to do. ID check people in a property that they do not own. Sending the dean to run for the next mayoral election to fix crime in Atlanta.


Glittering_Sun5968

gsu can still beef up security around the campus. my disabilities are greatly affected by these tragedies and something needs to be done soon


Brilliant-Zucchini50

im sorry that it makes your disability worse. but if it truly caused that i sincerely think you should move to a different city. Atlanta is crime and poverty ridden city. it's always like this regardless of whether you're here for school, job or vacation. maybe UGA, Athen is in a relatively small city so crime would be less or maybe Kennesaw state, it's really nice up there

Get a gun. Don't vote for any politician that wants to defund the police. Be observant and aware. Georgia did just turn blue so it really shouldn't shock anyone.

The police here in Atlanta have a budget of about $237 million. Hell a police station is a couple blocks from the Marta station. Nothing’s being done bc they don’t care about you. They never have—red or blue.


Fresh_Ad8917

Get a gun to combat the level of gun violence bc we all know democrats love guns! All of you have to be trolling

Honestly, the school is doing what they can to the best of their ability. My suggestion is to get a gun and learn to show no mercy to trash.

There's not much GSU can do, the Racetrac and Marta station are technically not a part of campus. I've been here in Atlanta for years and this is unfortunately nothing new, there's always a shooting or crime going on.


Glittering_Sun5968

well georgia state could loan some officers to patrol those areas if it means us students will be more protected. multiple shooting and a fondling are insane. i’ve never heard of that before at a college and when i chose ga state they were the #1 school for disabled people. this doesn’t seem like the #1 school when my ibs is constantly flared up from all the stress these incidents have caused me. people need to do better


NickieBoy97

I like your idea, but practically it's not that simple. These areas aren't technically a part of the campus. GSU has no justification over them since they're not GSU property. Marta has their own police force. There really shouldn't be a reason for GSU to lend them officers. That will take them away from actually being on campus for the students. I'm so sorry your disability is being affected from stress. My advice from all my years in Atlanta is to just go where you need to go and don't loiter around. If you're taking the Marta train or bus stay in the very front near the driver, trouble makers will usually stay in the back. Really as unfortunate as it is, if someone wants to shoot someone they will. Having an officer might discourage them, but there's only so much the officer can do. The reality is that any downtown city area will have crime and sketchy people. I don't mean to scare you, just sharing the reality of attending an open campus university downtown.

GSU don’t care. GSU don’t give a shit.


Critical_Particular8

You know GSU doesn't run the marta station right genius. Please explain what GSU is supposed to do about a shooting at the marta station, property they don't own. By your logic, if a shooting happens at 5 points, peachtree center, or underground it's GSU's fault 🙄


gsuboiboi

All I said is that GSU don’t care. And looks like you agree lol. Hey and I don’t hate GSU. It’s my alma matter boy.


Critical_Particular8

Wrong!!! The point I'm making is that GSU is located downtown & can only deal with crime/issues on property it owns. It can't address issues on property it doesn't own even if that property is next door (ex GSU marta station). Marta has to address those issues as well as the city of Atlanta for property they own. GSU can ask them, but if they don't help there's little that can be done.


gsuboiboi

Technically yes. But at the same time since it’s a public university the city often will try to accommodate for it. So if GSU requests more beefing up security for marta even just for a few stations, it’s a genuine ask that will be considered at least. That being said, GSU ain’t gona do nuffin even if the shooting was on campus. Like many of the other times lol.

no need to be rude to him. he has a disability, as do i. we need more caring people at this school and you definitely don’t seem like one. do better towards your disabled peers.


Responsible_Rip_9292

? No I’m actually not, but u r a prime example


Glittering_Sun5968

my ins has been glaring too! i’m sure we aren’t the only ones. this is getting ridiculous
