[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm so sick of seeing the "why were they out at that hour of the night/morning?" posts (here and on social media).

Being out after dark is NOT a crime.  Not even if you are under 18.  Not even if you are under 18 AND have a vagina!

Attacking someone IS a crime.  Killing someone IS a crime.

Focus on the actual crimes committed!

I can't believe it's 2017 and we're still victim shaming.  Or that people don't understand/realize when they say things like, "why was she out so late" it IS victim shaming.

"I would never let my daughter walk at that time of night."  That's great for you, but that still doesn't make what she, her friends, or their parents did wrong.

Such a tragedy.     [/quote]

Umm.  Sometimes teens are out that late because there is not an adult presence and they are getting into trouble and doing things that they know are wrong.  That is NOT the case in this particular situation - the group of teens had a reason to be out in the early morning hours.  However, they apparently did meet up with a bad guy while they were out.  This could have happened at any time of the day but the odds of something like this happening are probably higher in the early morning hours when there are much fewer witnesses around.[/quote]
