Code One Eight Seven: Killer On Campus


I actually had a few ideas for posting running through my head this morning when I woke up. I also got some ideas in Behavioral Medicine, but AS SOON as I got a special BU email I knew exactly what I was going to be talking about.... MURDER.

So check this. I attend Boston University School of Medicine (in case you haven't been reading my blog from the beginning). Well anyway... Our school sent out their own little news article this morning about a current situation. How about a second year medical student got picked up for murder. Supposedly he shot/killed a woman he had meet via Craiglist (advertising massage services) at a local Marriott. He is also a suspect in an attack two weeks ago at the Westin, where a woman was robbed of her debit card, cash and gift cards.

So I didn't know Philip (suspected KILLA) but some of my BH classmates recalled meeting him. Everyone states that he was just a really nice, funny and smart guy. Not that smart apparently... they grabed him a week after the incident; usually takes a little longer to "crack the case". I tell ya though... you just never know people. They got surveillance pictures of this boy all in the area around the time of the murder. Some of the pictures you can't tell (at least I can't), but in others... YEAH THAT'S HIM.

And it's so backwards... you are training to be a doctor, a professional that dedicates their life to SAVING people and in your space time you KILLING them. Maybe he missed the whole point of becoming a physician in orientation or something. I know there has never been a better time to be applying to BU medical school. It's unfortunate for them, but the school will be looked down upon because of this incident and they'll probably see a slight decline in applications for the 2010 entering class. Maybe I should apply!! NAWWWW. Hell no. I got to get out of Boston and I'm too close to achieving that goal.

Aight I'm gone. I've been gone from the house all day and I'm ready to relax a little. I'm going to watch a few scenes from MY FAVORITE MOVIE EVER: POLLY. I searched high and low for this movie on DVD for years and finally Disney (yes I said Disney, lol) released the thing a little while back. I could not wait to get my copy and it came today. I am sooooo geeked up. Going to watch it right now. I still know ALL the songs. :-) Later...

Sad part is, I've seen/heard the story a hundred times on CNN and didn't even realize where it was...
