Hey Nathan, I thought you did a really good job on this assignment. It was very detailed and thought provoking. The stories you found were very interesting and you defined the problems very thoroughly. I especially found the story of the gainesville man threatening to cut someone's eyes out slightly terrifying. I am over in the area quite often so it is scary that it can happen so close to campus.
