Since the beginning of the semester, which wasn't actually that long ago, we've heard about the red zone. Last [Tuesday] evening I saw something that will most likely change my view of drinking and partying to excess in bars forever. At about 3AM a man came walking down the road with a girl in his arms. She was limp enough that some bystanders and I wondered whether she was alive. I asked the man if he needed help. He said yes and put the girl down on the steps of the bar I was standing at.
The other bystanders and I asked if she was all right because as we looked at her, she was much worse off than we could have imagined. She was foaming at the mouth and her eyes were rolled back in her head. This man said that he was her roommate and that she did this all the time, but apparently it was her 21st birthday.
He took her to his car and left, but not before we tried to talk him into taking her to the hospital. I doubt he did. One of the other bystanders took down his license plate number and we called the police because everything about this situation seemed terribly wrong.
They said there was nothing they could do. This man was obviously drunk as well and should not have been driving. We were reporting suspicious activity and they didn't even want the license plate number that we had taken down.
The point is, we don't know what happened to Anna. We don't know who the man is that took her, in the state she was in, to wherever he took her. I've been on campus for six years and always had some illusion of safety when I've been drinking.
Why couldn't the cops help? I want to know why we reported something like this and the cops could not help. This issue could be looked into a little further because I don't understand why we couldn't help this girl
