[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t forget to tell your children to always give up anything being stolen from you!! Stay calm, look down, give them whatever they want. This poor guy. His poor family. I hope those girls rot in prison for the rest of their lives. [/quote] Stop victim blaming. Shame on you!!!![/quote] It's not victim-blaming, it's smart advice. If you're ever in an armed robbery give them what they want and you're more likely to be unharmed and survive. These were teenagers who were panicking because he wouldn't just step away from the car and there was another person filming. Two things are correct: 1. he would be alive if they didn't decide to steal a car. 2. he would be alive if he had moved away from the car. [/quote] Your advice seems realistic in high crime areas where consequences for criminal behavior are minimal.[/quote] Also your advice seems realistic in hypotheticals but when the car jacking is actually happening people can only hope they would act the way they always bragged they would. But until the sh!t hits the fan people usually act much differently than they expected. They panic. Their instincts take over. So you can preach and preach and victim blame but you have zero way of ever knowing how you would react until you’re actually in the situation. You are victim blaming and you’re a terrible person for doing it. [/quote]
