UPDATE: Found and safe. Texas A&M Reporter for Rivals Goes Missing, Possibly Abducted

I know it didn't really stick around but it put the fear of drugs, God and crazy people in me. I still watch my back when I'm out alone at night and I'm a grown ass man now. Cold shoulder and all that.

I know cases like these are sadly not isolated incidents yet you still feel sick when you hear this still happens.

Glad they found her, saw this on twitter and automatically (and unfortunately) assumed the worst.

Avatar checks out.

It's really pathetic that "whoever" Honest Abe may be, they are trying to raise their point totals but commenting repeatedly on a thread about a girl being abducted.

I also feel that social media is exposing people to a much wider potential group of psychos, and therefore exposing them to greater risks.

An acquaintance of mine with a dark, dark history is a Twitter follow of mine (mainly to keep tabs on his psycho ass).  Like most socially inept males, he uses Twitter to try and interact with celebrities directly.  Local and regional newswomen are his favorite, and they often interact repeatedly with men whom they should probably not do so.

In one such interaction, a local Detroit media figure tweeted a view from her apartment that, should one be so inclined, could be used to determine the location of said apartment.  I know this because my acquaintance commented "nice view" or some such.  Not smart on her part at all.  I would ask these celebrities one question:  is the promotion of your personal "brand" really worth the risk you take in conducting your public life in such a way that thousands of strangers feel that they are intimately acquainted with you?  What payback do you receive that compensates from such a risk? 

If I were a celebrity, particularly a female,  I would definitely take a more hands off approach to social media.  maybe, at a minimum, using it to promote your latest projects.  

Odd she was found under an overpass near the Galleria. I hope she is ok both physically and mentally. 

Since the demise of thought provoking writing this place as disentigrated into a bunch of garbage with the occasional genius thread.

this thread was genius.

You may need to update the title again. It now reads like she was found and safe, but was then abducted again.

Then again, avi checks out.

the thread is garbage.

the new accounts are garbage.

WD is garbage.

this board is garbage.
