I was a resident at the apartments right by Overland High School, and I saw nothing but disobedient kids, and crime. My roommate (who is 25yrs old) got jumped one day (yes, durning the day) just going to the 711 right behind the apartments . He was by himself, minding his own business, buying cigarettes. When he left the store he was approached by a high school kid, asking him for a cigarette. When my roommate kept walking and said no, he was followed by 4 high school boys, one of them had a broken arm because he had a blue cast on. As they followed him home, they kept referring to my roommate as a "nigger"...he is very white. He turned around and said "I'm not a "nigger" leave me alone." (Probably with a few cuss words in there, let's be honest). Anyways, as soon as he turned around, they ambushed him. The boy in the blue cast hit my roommate repeatedly WITH his cast in the ribs, and face. The kids also stole his cell phone... Long story short, we talked to the police countless times and they never got back to us. We also made a special trip to talk to principle Lundie. Security told us he was too busy, then I became a bitch and told her I needed to speak with him RIGHT NOW...his schedule all the sudden freed up, we sat and talked to him about what happened.. and he said he couldn't do anything about it, to contact police. Since then we have moved out of that area because of the crime, and still haven't heard anything back from police. Thanks for the HELP...not.
