  Screw these stupid colleges. More false alarms the police have to respond to and more useless crap students have to buy.
  
  Let's take the recent El Camino College rape:
  Student leaves the dance class to go to the vending machine. Takes 5 min to reach the vending machine, is kidnapped at the vending machine, and raped and penetrated with a foreign object. *ding* 20 minutes are up, police respond with the mentality that it's just another false alarm. And they haven't even set up a perimeter yet.
  
  What would it have helped? The chick didn't have to call the police herself. And she had to pay $210.
  
  I want my weapons back. I want my ability to protect myself back.
