text: It's just a matter of time before there's another act of violence - shooting, stabbing, beating - at some public space in the Eugene area. There is illegal activity at the $2m skate park under the bridge, women have been assaulted on the bike path, etc etc etc. It's interesting to me that after someone was shot, a guard is stationed. My bet is that this unarmed guard would not have been a deterrent. I'm wondering why guards aren't posted at other public spaces?
