During a party held at senior Shanee Liggins’ off-campus house, Liggins and several other girls started fighting. According to who is doing the talking, sophomore Kortneigh McCoy, 19, was fighting with Liggins or acting as peacemaker. According to police, someone bludgeoned McCoy in the head with a blunt object, and Liggins then allegedly stabbed her in the neck, killing her. It is not clear who is alleged to have bludgeoned McCoy.
Note that while the suspect’s hometown, Waldorf, Maryland, is roughly half black (48.9 percent), and only 37.1 percent white and 6.3 five percent Asian, it is an affluent area with an income 33% higher than the state average, and home values six percent higher than the state average. But that didn’t stop it from allegedly exporting death to Frostburg’s campus. The victim had fled Baltimore (City) for Frostburg State in the boonies, but that didn’t help her, either.
(When you check out Baltimore’s, or any other city’s demographics, check the male-female breakdown first. That will usually tell you what to expect from the rest of the numbers. Baltimore, for example, is 53.4 percent female. Unless you’re dealing with a community that skews very old, or with South Asian Indians and Red Chinese, who are fanatical about aborting unborn girl children, a heavily female demographic skew tells you that you’re visiting a diversitopia where an unusually high number of males are either in confinement or dead.)
With that said, I can’t make any sense out of the town of Frostburg’s demographics, which skew heavily female (55.1 percent), heavily young (23.5 years old, vs. a state average of 36.0), heavily poor (median household income of $32,218 is less than half the state average of $69,272), and heavily white (84.5 percent). The only thing that does make sense is that Frostburg’s crime rate is about 40 percent lower than the state rate.)
While the real estate demographics Web site, city-data.com, cites Frostburg for “Black race population percentage significantly below state average,” it does not cite Baltimore (City) for “White race population percentage significantly below state average.”
To those who will go into the usual song and dance about there being dangerous people everywhere, and from all groups, when I attended college in this country, from 1976-1980, campus violence was virtually unheard of. Today, college students nationwide are constantly being victimized by violent felons, on and off-campus. And the felons are almost always black. Speaking of which, Frostburg State University’s student body is 17.4 percent black.
P.S. A friend of McCoy’s told a WJLA that McCoy and Liggins, at whose house the party took place, did not know each other well, and doubted that some major conflict had provoked McCoy’s murder, suggesting that McCoy may have done something like spill a drink on Liggins.
So, now black coeds are committing murderous violence against other students, based on gang-banger-type pretexts.
In the since completely deleted comment thread, one reader complained that the victim was reported to have been one of the people fighting.

Bri--I apologize for saying she was involved in the fight, but that's what this story says. Someone should call the media outlets and correct that impression. The news should cover stories more correctly and check their facts before they put it on the air or online. Again, I am sorry about my comment that Kortneigh was involved.
First of all, there isn’t enough time in the world for a reporter to get such facts straight. Second of all, it’s impossible, because depending on whose friends the reporter is interviewing the victim is either “a peacemaker” or “was fighting.” That’s not to say that both sides are right, or the truth lies somewhere in the middle, but it takes time to determine who was lying, and who was telling the truth. And third, the MSM works based on moral equivalence and mushy language, when “protected minorities” perpetrate crimes. They aren’t interested in the truth, to begin with.
Kortneigh McCoy, Frostburg student, killed

A Frostburg State University student was killed in an attack off-campus early Sunday, officials said.
About 1:30 a.m., Frostburg City Police responded to Maple Street for an assault victim and discovered a female lying on the ground with trauma to her head, according to a news release from Allegany County Combined Criminal Investigation.
She was taken to Western Maryland Hospital but died from her injuries.
The student was identified as Kortneigh McCoy, 19, of Baltimore.
McCoy was at a house on Maple Street when a fight started between several people inside, including McCoy. The fight led out to Maple Street where McCoy was then stabbed by another Frostburg student, police said.
Shanee Liggins, 23, of Waldorf, was arrested and charged with first and second degree murder, police said.
McCoy was a sophomore, an RA in Simpson Hall and a member of United Voices Under God's Dominion, according to a news release from Frostburg State University president Jonathan Gibralter.
The Allegany County Combined Criminal Investigation unit is investigating.
A motive for the murder has not yet been established, police said.
Memorial services will be held today [Sunday] at 2:30 p.m. at ARMAH, according to a Facebook event page.

"Today, college students nationwide are constantly being victimized by violent felons, on and off-campus. And the felons are almost always black"
ReplyDeleteThis is patent- and blatantly untrue.
From the 2007 FBI Uniform Crime Report - Crime in Schools and Colleges
http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/nibrs/crime-in-schools-and-colleges
(6,117).15 When race was known, whites were 2.5 times more likely to be reported as an offender at a school than were all other races combined. Of the total offenders about whom age and/or gender were known (476,803), race was unknown for 17.3 percent. (Based on Table 5.)
Your “response” was unresponsive.
ReplyDeleteI said, “on and off-campus”; you responded with stats that only cover reported campus crimes.
I talked about colleges; you linked to stats for schools and colleges.
Of the many murders of college students that I have studied in recent years, only one was committed by a white, and all but two were committed off-campus. The murder of which this article treats was also committed off-campus, and thus will not be counted in the 2011 version of the irrelevant stats to which you linked.
I said, “violent felons”; you responded with stats of which only 3.7 percent of arrestees in the last year cited, 2004, were charged with violent felonies.
And while you asserted that “race was unknown for 17.3 percent,” “Analyses and Results” reports, “However, none of the characteristics for offenders (age, gender, race, or number of offenders) were known in 211,809 of the 688,612 offender records.” That’s 31 percent.
Could your “response” have possibly been more irrelevant?
You’re dishonest enough to be a tenured professor of criminology.
And you're dishonest enough to think that unsubstantiated claims can be effectively defended with more of the same.
ReplyDelete"Of the many murders of college students that I have studied in recent years..." And just how many murders would that be? Cite, cite, cite.
Come correct, or don't come at all.
Otherwise, you're nothing more than a hack pseudo-journalist whose only real talent is begging for money and getting ignored.
Anonymous lefty troll again?!
ReplyDeleteI guess it serves me right. Instead of ignoring your previous idiotic post, I took the time to read the FBI report, and show how irrelevant it was. So, in your fantasy world, irrelevancies pass for killer scholarly refutations.
You then ignore my response, and spend maybe one minute firing off some moronic insults, demanding I spend hours responding to you. In your welfare mentality, I owe you a 3,000-word manuscript, simply because you demand it.
Here’s the deal: You want more of my time, you pay for it. Hit the PayPal button, pay $500, and once the fee has cleared, I will publish my ms. on black criminals victimizing college students. Put up, or shut up, AT.
BTW, my readers have been very generously responding to my fundraising letters.
You’re done.
