   Depends on the situation. When one is discussing crime, particularly against   
   students, then their potential as a victim is a relevent observation.

   Really? So what exactly is objective about  disarming innocent people?   
      
   > Objectivity is where you analyze a situation for what it is.   
      
   You mean like looking at the fact that the student body is subject to being   
   victimized by criminals and that this policy of arbitrary disarmament by   
   those that obey the rules would place them in greater danger by eliminating   
   one of the best means of self defense. That sort of objectivity?

   Wouldn't that describe the CSU Board of Governors that are so afraid that   
   they wish to disarm everyone on campus?   
      
      
   > Thus, they approach the situation from a position of cowardice.   
      
   Well, I didn't want to say the BoG were coowards, but if you're going to say   
   they are....

   No, it because they are. That is unless you can show me that NO crime of any   
   sort ever occurs on the CSU campus.   
      
   I don't think you can, so they are potential victims because some of the   
   student body is victimized every year by criminals.

   Sounds more like you and the BoG.
