One Universal-Emotional Leakage
“None of them ‘just snapped.’ They all followed a pathway to
violence. They didn't materialize out of the blue as monsters;
they became monsters over time, meeting well-established
milestones of monstrosity. And most of them didn't even bother
keeping their intentions very secret.”

Are you safe?
Why Don’t We SPEAK UP?Don’t want to racially profile
Thought they were joking
Don’t want to appear paranoid
Don’t want to be labeled a rat
Afraid to challenge people
Feel supervisor or professor should report it
Feel they should mind their own business
Fear of being accused of blowing things out of proportion
Fear of confrontation
Conflict & confidentiality – “No one will trust me”
Disbelief that it is happening
