Crime scene
Hofstra University Students Arrested on Drugs, Weapons Charges After Dramatic Dorm Heist
Saturday , March 28, 2009
HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. — Hofstra University is reeling over the arrests of several students on drug and weapons charges after a showdown over cocaine in a school dorm room.
Police say the episode unfolded Thursday night when two 19-year-old students at the Long Island school burst into a fellow student's room carrying realistic looking pellet guns and grabbed drugs, jewelry and cash before escaping in a getaway car.
The robbery victim went to campus security, and wound up being charged himself with illegal drug sales. Police said he had been dealing pills, marijuana and cocaine out of his dorm.
An investigation led to the arrest of the students who wielded the pellet guns as well, along with a pair of alleged accomplices.
Are these intelligent college students? If so, our nation is in trouble. Perhapse they were attempting to be listed in the "World's Dumbest Crooks" competition. I can just imagine the desparate phone call to the police: "Hello... this is Harvy Kleck. I'm a student at Hofstra and live in the men's dorm. Some guys just broke into my room and stole my stash of illegal drugs and stolen jewery and all my cash from selling dope.
Please send help immediately!"

Not being intimately familiar with the mission of Hofstra University, I'm inclined to think it's a kinky place. How are the students doing with academics? Are the campus authorities tough enough? Is this institution like Hillsdale college, or is it another profit prostitute?
Let's call Kleck and get some perspective.
