I suppose “situational awareness” is good to know. How to diffuse a nefarious confrontation, good to know.

But why are students and teachers saying they’re afraid to walk to their cars when leaving the building after dark?

I kind of feel like this is shady victim blaming. “We’ll, she should have KNOWN not to walk out to her car at night by herself! What did she expect?”
