Wow crimes like this aren't that common here in Blacksburg. I hope we find this individual. People like that shouldn't be in this town. I guess even Blacksburg isn't safe enough for women to walk downtown alone at night.

A college age female walking around town at 1:30AM by herself!!!! Gosh, no wonder you ladies are subjected to crimes at night. You're asking for it being by yourself.
