Wow.. Seriously?

Imagine this.... A bunch of University folks get together and create a campaign to increase awareness about campus rape. They talk about how rape is a problem not just from overt "I've got a knife, do what I say" evil-doer's but also from acquaintance and date-rape. They come up with a slogan "24-hour rape free zone" which to them and their campaign means "Rape can happen anywhere at any time so be aware at all times".

There is absolutely NOTHING in this campaign that makes any claim that putting up a sign actually results in less crime. Anyone who would make such an inference from a photo of three young ladies wearing an out-of-context slogan on their shirt isn't thinking things through very well.

"Taking a stand", in this context means.... DOING SOMETHING. In this case, creating awareness.
You found exactly what you're looking for in that photo, even though it's not really there.

After living 30 minutes south of there for nearly 20 years, I can tell you with certainty that that attitude does not represent the majority of Tarheels. That gunbuster is clearly a bad after-the-fact photoshop...

ETA: The "Rape-Free-Zone" was from an awareness campaign started in 1997.
That image, and this thread, is a complete (and utterly nonconstructive) misrepresentation of that campaign.
