Top News #3

While reading the news on mercurynews.com, I came across one titled, "USF student arrested on suspicion of rape". The article went on to talk about an University of San Francisco student being arrested on suspicion of raping 4 fellow students. The police say that 21-year-old Ryan Caskey was arrested Thursday on campus after the alleged victims came forward. Since the events had taken place over the course of a couple of months, more information was not provided.

Among the new values, a couple pop at me. The influence of this story affects me because being a woman, safety is always an issue. We always thing that the campus is safe and there are no predators, but what we do not realize is that anyone can be a predator and anyone can be the victim. Proximity also plays a key role especially since San Francisco is so close to San Jose. It makes it more clear that this type of ordeal could happen anywhere. This story makes me very angry because of its content. Women have gone through so much and it makes it hard to bare that there are such people who take whatever they want, no matter the limit.
