Well, Chuckro, they might have had it coming, but the innocent passersby did not.
It was remarkably quiet for years. There's just been this recent "uptick" (says our security force - the largest private one in the state) that is escalating. Some guy was killed in a diner across the street from campus on Christmas day. Just some strangers arguing, and none of them Penn-related. I mean we all know this is the city, but is hasn't been this bad for about ten years. There's really no explanation that I know of, but if it doesn't affect applications soon, I'll be surprised.
