[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Right, status symbols can back fire.  Flashy bags, coats, shoes.  It can absolutely make you a target.  [b]These are dumb rich white kids enrolled at GW though[/b].

The entire point of this $1k coat is to tell people you are rich.[/quote]

Re: the bold, maybe actually read the news story the OP linked. The victim in that incident was a Howard University student, not GW. No idea if that victim was "dumb," "white" or "rich." Not that it matters except to you; you seem to like playing "Blame the Victim."

Exactly. Doesn't matter what you wear, you shouldn't be robbed. 
When you travel to unsafe international cities high crime you are advised to not wear any jewelry or have any bags on you because you increase the chance of getting mugged to the point where it may become a guarantee.   This is the direction we are going towards.  If you normalize the idea of citizens adjusting to the "new reality" having to clutch their wallets and wearing drab clothing and looking poor to feel safe, then you may want to move to whatever 3rd world hellhole of your choice.
