Armed Robberies at Georgia Southern.

Its hard to say whether or not the recent armed robberies at Cambridge and University Pines can be considered a crisis. In reality, they are not but locally their existence is quite frightening and the frequent occurence of them can be considered a crisis to those exposed or those who feel they can be. I know personally I think it is a crisis because of the amount of danger that it brings to students who are supposed to feel safe in a small college community. There absolutely are prodromes to this crisis, because any college campus holds potential for issues with the amount of different people all exposed to one another living in the same sort of environment. Just because we all live so closely together does not mean that we have the same morals and standards for our life as do others, so when you bring these people into the mix, they can tend to develop bad situations, such as the robberies. The crisis is smoldering as well because there is always going to be potential for robberies in a college community, especially with the rift raft that lives on the other side of town and their targeting of these so called "rich kids".
