The original poster tried blaming the woman for what happened and it was not her fault. Yes, she could have possibly prevented it, so she didn't do everything she could have. But what I'm saying is even though you do a lot to protect yourself, I bet you don't do every single thing you could. You can do all you do now and be walking in the mall and someone walk up behind you and shoot you point blank. And I reckon that would be your fault because you weren't wearing your body armor that day.


I never said I blamed her, I said by one simple gesture, not even REMOTELY paranoid in nature she could have and WOULD have prevented it. The guy should have his nads cut off and roasted. I am by no means paranoid (no dope doncha know ) but I can promise you this, if you are a predator looking for trouble you telegraph that intent for any that care to catch it. You will not get near me. I'll simply change what I'm doing to avoid you. It's simple. How many times have you looked at somebody and thought, "man he's looking for trouble"? It's that simple. It's called situational awareness. It's not paranoia in this day and age, it's smart. And I see exactly what you are saying, so lets just agree to disagree. I remember arguing with people my age when I was your age (get that?) and everyone getting nowhere also.
