Virginia Tech Police Department is investigating a group assault on the Drillfield in front of Burruss Hall early Tuesday morning.
According to an e-mail release sent Tuesday afternoon, the male victim reported he was assaulted by a group of four or five unknown white males.
One suspect was described as a “heavy set” male wearing a white shirt and a bandana on his head and a second male was said to have worn a black hooded sweatshirt.
The suspects exited in a red SUV-type vehicle with tinted windows after pushing the victim to the ground. After the assault, the suspects fled in the vehicle toward West Campus Drive.
The victim sustained minor injuries, including abrasions to his hands, and was transported to Montgomery Regional Hospital for treatment.
Detective R.L. Taylor of Tech Police declined to speculate on a motive for the assualt, saying the investigation is still open.
Those with further information on the incident are encouraged to call (540) 231-8121.

You're right, anonymous. Since an email went out about it, Collegiate Times, the NEWSpaper, should not report the news.

Um, if I'm not totally insane, the Drillfield in front of Burruss
is where we also memorialize the 31 individuals MURDERED by
someone no different than these thugs. I never ceased to be
amazed at how truly stupid people can be. Learn nothing? Then
you get the benefits of Zero tolerance with regard
to violence people!

There are 32 individuals memorialized on that spot on the drillfield. That fact coupled with the rest of your post lends evidence against your sanity, as you point out. Please don't tell anyone you go to Tech; you embarrass me.
It is unfortunate that someone was assaulted, and it should be treated as a crime like any other. But no crime has ever been like the one that took those 32. It is shameful to make the comparison.

Hey "Seriously?" I hope you're a frosh because VT has a very strong sense of community that all of its members are a part of. Your post is what breaks this sense of community. I suggest you improve your attitude and don't bring others down with you.
As to the assault, I was out near Burress the next night and there was a visible police presence. Hopefully these guys will be caught.

Although "Seriously" is stupid, Burruss is spelled with two "u"s

Site <a href="http://www.pskiller.com/">Photoshop Killer</a> can expose PSed images! I just Googled an image which was photoshopped and then uploaded it to pskiller.com. The forensics analysis started just after I clicked the submit button and detailed information was shown then. The result was correct.
