When Ted Bundy was a law student at Stanford, who also worked in Olympia, Washingtington for that state, as he confessed to murdering runaway females in a number of states including California, yet nowhere do you print a word about him, and how upset or non secure you feel because of what he said he did there? Bundy didn't so much as get an overdue library fine, a traffic ticket nothing. The University of Washington graduate conned his way into the hearts of many of his victims, yet not once have you ever cited him? He hung out with the non tenured english professor H. Bruce Franklin who seems to be connected to a sting of murders relating to the San Mateo county inspired Venceremos better known as Los Siete or The 7. Stanford's leftist rich kids begged Venceremos if they could join, but once they did, they kicked them out, as they systematically began to die, as also did Black Panthers, White Panthers and the Chicago 6. I know, maybe you discarded that book from the volumes of floors in UGLI!
Come on, now. Everyone at Stanford is showing their poker hand here, and it ain't good. Are Stanfordites so paranoid, self-absorbed, and arrogant that a harmless 18-yr. old is Public Enemy Number 1. Students and faculty at other universities like Harvard, MIT, and Yale are having a laugh over this one; their campuses are far more open to situations like this, and in fact, have numerous students who have and are still doing what Kim did. It's NO BIG DEAL. At other universities, these "wayward" students are overlooked, part of the culture, part of the comedy of university life. Get over it, and stop persecuting a harmless teen. Does anyone even care why she felt the need to do this? No. Why is that? It's that ugly poker hand again.
She cracked into her roommate's email account and started reading and deleting emails, too. Is that something we should excuse as well? Psychopaths are allowed to achieve legendary levels of audacity because people like you are eager to cut them slack as they practice.
Why thank you, "excuses, excuses." You so eloquently proved my point about the excessive hyperbole over Kim. Now she is, by your words, "a psychopath." Wow, that's elevated status for sure. With your discerning insight into the attributes of psychopaths, perhaps you should write a paper or something.
This would make a cool movie about how pressure from parents to attend Stanford made a girl lie her way in. I have to give her props for being clever and giving a new category in the yearbook: Most ambitious to be a Stanford Student.
She's a common criminal, a trespasser, a thief - so prosecute her, send her a bill and let's move on - hardly newsworthy.
Azia Kim was a student of mine in her Jr. High years and she would have the last person I would have ever guessed would do something like this. I do belive strongly she was pressured into the, "It's Stanford U. or nothing" mentality. No excuse for what she did, but I wish her the best and I hope she is all right.
Wow, i'm asian, and yeah Asian parents are really strict on there kids, well they made me go to a UC, UC or nothing haha, so I went to UCR, woowoo..but wow..she's pretty clever!
I think of the irony of someone trespassing, living in quasi-public housing, eating for free,..$42,000 burden to students, parents, and school-yet, I am willing to bet my ('85)degree 99% would join a protest in support of illegal immigrants stealing similarly from the public. Be careful what you ask for,..even at the farm,...
