Six men assault student on Cal Poly campus

December 8, 2024

By KAREN VELIE

Six men assaulted a male student on the Cal Poly campus in San Luis Obispo early Saturday morning, according to Cal Poly administration.

A male student was walking on the pathway between Inyo and Buena Vista in Poly Canyon Village at 3 a.m. when six males attacked him. Cal Poly has not yet released the condition or name of the student.

Law enforcement is seeking the public’s help identifying the suspects, who are described as Hispanic males between 18 to 20 years old. They were driving a white four-door sedan.

As part of the Clery Act, campus officials are required to provide a warning if there is a serious or ongoing threat to the campus community. Cal Poly sent a warning email to students shortly after 2 p.m. on Saturday.

Cal Poly provided the following tips to students:

  • Trust your instincts. If you feel unsafe, get to a safe place and call for help.
  • Be alert to your surroundings and the people around you.
  • Travel in pairs or groups when possible and inform friends of your intended locations and times of travel.
  • Rave Guardian offers Cal Poly users a single safety app that can send anonymous tips, set a safety timer for self-guided on-campus safety walks, text Mustang Patrol directly for safety walks, connect to 24-hour police or support services, and maintain easy emergency communication directly with police.

Cal Poly will deal with this issue the same way it always does: do nothing other than making it look like they actually care and are actually doing something. If you ask Cal Poly how they dealt with problems like this, they hide their lack of doing anything by saying they can’t release information. The act of not releasing information serves two purposes. First, it hides the fact that they didn’t do anything. Second, people realize that they don’t do anything and become hesitant to report any such ugly incidents in the future, thus making it look like Cal Poly is a safe and happy place.

Very curious as to why the victim was targeted. There is more this story than a random act of violence.

Armstrong could care less about on campus violence as long as the tuition checks dont stop.

I am very sorry this happened to this young man and hope he is okay. It is a bit concerning though that this happened at 3 a.m. yet students were not notified until 2 p.m., 11 hours after the incident. And the notification was sent via email not text. Cal Poly still doesn’t get it.

The victim might not have reported this incident to police until much later that day. And I’m pretty sure the timely warning was sent via Rave Guardian push notification and email.

My post will probably get deleted but this is how Hispanic gangbangers fight. Rarely one on one. Sounds like someone/somebodies “got disrespected”.

It’s a military tactic. Complete domination. You don’t let your opponent get an advantage. There’s no such thing as rules in a street fight.

“Learn by doing” as the saying goes..
