But if I broke into your house and used your internet connection, the only harm would come from you, the "victim", objecting to my behavior. You'd be bootstrapping your own victimhood, right?
- jlgreco 14y agoIf I were choosing to object to you on the grounds that you trespassed, then no. If I were to drop the trespassing charges and choose to object on the grounds that I had to throw out my router because you used it, then I would indeed be manufacturing victomhood. I'll repeat myself. They dropped the trespassing charges.
