You'd be hard pressed to find anyone who's immediate reaction to that story is not "what the hell did you expect was going to happen, that's on you", regardless

You'd be hard pressed to find anyone who's immediate reaction to that story is not "what the hell did you expect was going to happen, that's on you", regardless of where the blame philosophically lies.
Thievery happens, it's happened since the dawn of time and will happen up until the end. To not be aware of this is your fault. In my opinion arguing otherwise is like arguing the sea is to blame for destroying your house, when you built it unprotected on a beach.
- bigiain 9y agoSure - and I won't argue about whether it counts as "contributory negligence" if you park your nice car unlocked in sketchy areas and it gets stolen (and I'm sure you'll be hearing that from your insurance company if it's you). But if your sister/girlfriend/wife/mother is assaulted in the street and I said to you "what the hell did you expect was going to happen, that's on you" - I'd fully expect you to punch me in the face. (And yes, I realise the hypocrisy in that - welcome to the inconsistency of being a human being...)
