This is going to be an
This is going to be an interesting case. Earlier this year another case of forcible rape in Batavia, ny. One suspect is white the other black. I'm sure there a differences but both were charged with the same crime. One was let go under his own recognizance the other is being held on $50,000 Bail. Take a wild guess. I am looking to see what happens when two men are charged with the same crime, what happens to each.

Jason,
I assume you are talking about this case http://thebatavian.com/howard-owens/bail-and-hearing-set-man-accused-ra…
he was held on 10k bail not just ROR, but also just on the surface (without even looking at the details of the case because we really dont know any of either) the other guy was from here and had family here while this case he is from Buffalo.
just because a different bail amount was set doesnt mean it was a race issue.
Are you sure he was let go on
Are you sure he was let go on his own recognizance?

"He was jailed without bail following arraignment today in City Court"
http://thebatavian.com/howard-owens/bail-and-hearing-set-man-accused-ra…
His bail was set @ $10,000.00.
Before jumping to conclusions, you should know that there are mitigating circumstances in many cases. Judges are aware if the circumstances in each case and determine bail based on them and many other factors. Flight risk is a factor in determining bail, also.
I think you're ignorant of the facts in each case and trying to make it an issue of race.
You beat me to it, Bill!
You beat me to it, Bill! Jason also made racial comments on the news report for Patrick J. Donahue.
Jason, do you really believe that police arrest someone based on race? Do you believe that race also plays a role in determining bail?
The majority of crimes
The majority of crimes committed at College Village seem to be by folks from Rochester and Buffalo. Restricting access to the property by non-residents seems to be in order. Does GCC security patrol there? My impression is that the property is privately owned and they only go when called.
Anybody know?
Jason has a history of
Jason has a history of thinking everything is racial and this is just another example.
He should know there is a lot taken into consideration when the court sets bail. Seriousness of the crime, injuries to victims, where weapons used, previous criminal history, failure to appear in the past or not, ties to the community, etc.
It does seem that way Bob.
It does seem that way Bob. I'm guessing it might have more to do with the troublemakers being friends or family of College Village residents who are themselves probably from Buffalo and Rochester.
I don't see how anyone could legally restrict who they invite over to visit them.
I think a better solution might be to institute a type of "3 strikes and your out" policy. Put the risk of losing their housing as an incentive to police themselves and their guests.

You are asking them to be responsible for their actions. Not in this day and age.
I also said 3 strikes and
I also said 3 strikes and their out. If they can't control what happens at their residence, they shouldn't be allowed to continue to live there and jeopardize the safety of everyone else.
Similar in theory to the risk of a bar losing its' liquor license because of too many police calls and problems on the premises.
Most of the residents of
Most of the residents of College Village are probably NOT Genesee County residents. GCC students who are residents of Genesee County likely do not avail campus housing. I'm not sure how security functions at College Village. I assume it is not the traditional dormitory practice, utilizing student RAs and DAs. Any complaint is likely directed to outside law enforcement. It has been stated that GCC's security force does not cover the privately owned housing.
Reading between the lines, based on past complaints covered in the news; complaints fall in two categories: former students who revisit past acquaintances and 'guests' of current students who make a nuisance of themselves. The nuisance factor seems to be unwanted attention. Since property destruction and drug activity are rarely cited, it can be further deduced that these are domestic issues- whether violations of 'order of protection' or 'stay away' directives.
To simplify: disturbing the peace.
Those charging that students disturbing the peace are singled out by race should research the demographics of students living on-campus in student housing. I am not familiar with that data; it would seem to be relevant.
Although GCC is an exceptionally good school, it cannot provide the 24/7 social opportunities typical of four-year schools and their host communities. GCC is a commuter college and cannot replicate the insular environment of a four-year school.
The minority of GCC students who live in the 'dorms' have stronger ties to GCC students living off-campus and retain connections to non-students, off-campus activities, non-local family and social involvements to a greater degree than their peers living away at a four-year school. What choice do they have?
Additionally, typical college dormitories are designed with lounges and common areas- which along with roommates and RAs and overall communal situation provide a secure, shared and cooperative environment. I don't know as the architecture and social design of GCC's student housing accomplish similar living arrangements. Are living areas outfitted with 'panic buttons?'

There goes Jason again...
There goes Jason again... always playing the race card and we wonder why society never gets passed the differences... people always bring it up and make a big deal out of it.
