You may be thinking "That really sucks." Maybe you feel bad for him. Well, what's published in the paper apparently isn't the WHOLE story.
Word of mouth is that the student passed out while "relieving himself" in the alley. When they found him, his rear end was frozen to the ground, and today they had to amputate "something else" besides his fingers and toes....
