I just want to take some time to make note of a pretty shitty and tragic event that happened at my college yesterday. A 46 year old grad student fatally stabbed Richard Antoun a 77 year old professor 4 times with a 6 inch kitchen knife. The grad student’s name is Abdulsalam Al-Zahrani. No one knows the reason why this guy killed a 77 year old professor who was known around campus as a “nice guy”. Apparently the guy was at the scene when police arrived, telling them that he was the one who stabbed Richard Antoun.
What is happening on this campus?
It’s just insane to think that someone got murdered on my campus. It’s also weird because it seems like it is just a side note to everyone’s day here. The sad part is, people care more about what Tiger Woods is doing, rather than keeping the professor in mind. Hell I never knew the guy, but a murder is a murder. Especially at your college. You should at least pretend to be concerned!
I just figured he deserved some sort of mention. RIP Richard. Read about the story here.
