What the heck?

About that U of L stabbing… (From Courier-Journal and Wave 3)
U of L is kind of getting some negative attention of late.

I don’t want to get too much into it, but I do want to make some comments about. Something needs to be said about the safety of students here on campus. There have been some crimes here from time to time. Have I had any problems? Nope.

((The fight outside a U of L dormitory ended in a stabbing that sent Sean Osborne to University Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Montequa Jackson, 18, a freshman from Lexington, was arrested and charged with first-degree assault in the early-morning incident.))

Jermaine Stafford took his girlfriend to her dorm and started walking to his dorm. At a certain point, four white men surrounded him and started throwing out racial remarks.

From Wave 3

((Stafford says he was surrounded by four men in the parking lot and several others were around, hanging out in a nearby fraternity house. "There were some ugly things said. I don't want to get into too much detail about that."))

It would seem they attacked Jermaine and ganged up on him. That was when Montequa Jackson came in and stabbed Sean Osborne five times.

(Side note: Now, I don’t support violence, but damn that is an amazing woman. She comes out and defends her man. Most girlfriends would have just stood there and cried and yelled. Not, Montequa.)

By the way, Osborne was a non-student.

Now, it gets a little stranger from this point on…

((Jackson is charged with first-degree assault.))

Something tells me her charges will be dismissed in the form of defense. I could be wrong. She was trying to protect her boyfriend, even though it involved stabbing.

((The police also arrested 21-year-old Michael Collins on charges of second-degree robbery and receiving stolen property.
Sean Osborne, 23, faces robbery and fourth-degree assault charges.))

So, did they steal something from Jermaine Stafford after beating him up? Was this actually a robbery? Police won’t say much else.

While Mrs. Jackson should have stabbed the dude, I have to give her credit for trying to save her boyfriend’s life.

Did they really attack the man because he was black? Probably so. There was probably some alcohol involved too with the four men.

I do feel we’re not getting the whole picture here either.
