GretaWire on Wisconsin University’s State Street…
GretaWire blogs about a missing Wisconsin student…
Last night we also did a segment about a missing student (Kelly Nolan) in Madison, Wisconsin. She was last seen on State Street in Madison late June 22. I was stunned when the Madison newspaper reporter told me on air that State Street has been the site of a recent shooting. When I was in college there, it was extremely safe: Women could walk the street at all hours and there were lots of people on the street. State Street is the main drag in the town and where all the students go at all hours. The University of Wisconsin is hard to get into now (not when I applied) and when the reporter said there had been a shooting there my instant thought: It just got easier to get into Wisconsin. Every parent of a Wisconsin Badger who just heard the reporter is going to pull his kid out of the school. I still think Wisconsin is safe.
I know I’ll be labeled “insensitive” but here’s another case of a young woman out late at night at a bar and we’re all supposed to be shocked and amazed that she may have met with foul play. How many time do we hear of attacks or abductions when two or more gals are together?

Nice greta, I sure the school and alumni appreciate your thoughts.

Nancy: And if you were famous, Dan Abrams would do a “slash and burn” number on your character on his (or is it Scarborough’s)show.
