First of all the Wesleyan thing is so sad. (R.I.P.) At my job part of what I do is scan the news for clips related to our industry and so in doing that I've been seeing the Wesleyan article everywhere. It's so depressing and scary.
Second of all, as someone who went to college for ten years and has actually seen my last campus have some more violent incidents it's also scary. I thought of my first college as an oasis, though I knew full well to still be careful at 3am. Still, few places where ya can go for coffee at 4am and feel like you're not in danger. But now it's like...scary stuff.
Third as for the LJ, I have no clue why the police and media are delving into it. It's like...so odd...I guess they're attempting to humanize the victim, as if that were necessary. Our media today is just ridiculous sometimes when it comes to trying to turn every story into a pullitzer. And I second your feelings, it's like...oh yeah I'd just love for the media to go into my LJ and piece together things....how ridiculous.
