Teen says 'It's your fault I burgled you'

[karrie]

... just don't let your guard down.

It doesn't matter petros. If you have your guard up, and someone gets the better of you, you still had it cming for being where you were, when you were, and without the strength, weaponry, whatever justification.

If you lock your windows, but they're not good enough windows. If you have too nice a house. If you drive too nice a car. If you wear the wrong clothes. People come up with dozens of ridiculous justifications for why they picked their victims every day.

Life is fraught with hazards, Karrie, recognizing them is step one, avoiding or putting a defense in place is step two, figuring a way to mitigate damage is step three and recognizing that someway, some day you are going to die is step four. :lol:

Ah, gotta love our 'blame the victim' mentality. Criminals thrive on it.

This seems to be the way of society. An individual who perpetrates an act of agression upon another, not their fault. They've been oppressed or abused or the dog ate their homework. Not their fault.

However the individual who has the act of agression perpetrated upom them, well, why were they there, did they not know any better, how could they let that happen?

When and how did this become so screwed up in our society?

I already addressed that. When community fell apart.

I mean lawyers.

What makes you believe that all people are on the up and up and can be trusted? Has the world ever been that way? Does a fox cry "woe is me" when a hawk flies off with the gopher the fox killed for lunch? Humans are animals too. It's a cruel world for those who let their defences down.

That is why your insurance company will say "screw you" when you try to put in a claim for the lost goods.

No ,insurance companies will say screw you because they are more crooked and corrupt than the governments.

It's not just the criminals that are doing it, the courts also seem to find ways to blame the victims whilst painting the suspect as the "poor victim". The case where the judge blamed the woman for being raped comes to mind.

No, but I should be able to leave my windows open. I should be able to walk at night. I should be able to trust. It's not an excuse to victimize someone.

If I was able to, I would give this post ten more thumbs-up.

I can only imagine(I think I'll have nightmares tonight!

Don't they teach "sympath or remores" over there?
Or English?

The only sympathy that the British are allowed to show nowadays are with the perpetrator, not the victim.

Our ruling liberal elite constantly tell us that wrongdoers should not be punished and that they should merely be "listened to" and "understood" etc etc.

Kids are taught in British schools that it is wrong to respect authority - your parents, the law, the elderly etc - and that, if they did wrong, they will not be punished. Whenever a kid is caught by the authorities for doing something wrong they are merely told to write a gloating letter to the victim to let the victim know, in no uncertain times, that it is their own fault that they were the victim.

All this has led to a generation of British kids who believe, rightly, that they are untouchable and that they can therefore break the law, and gob off to those in authority, at will. This is why so many of them went on the rampage in many major cities around the country in August, chucking bricks through store windows and looting them (those that they didn't burn down, that is).

It is time that discipline was brought back. Pupils who misbehave need to be caned (even the girls. We a creating a generation of thuggish, mouthy, cheeky, bad-mannered ladettes). Also, courts need to be tougher with those who break the law. Far tougher sentences need to be brought in for those thugs who carry knives, especially for those who use them to stab an innocent person with.

Only when the young are properly disciplined can we finally have kids who behave themselves and are more respectful to those in authority.

And this is the problem with society, and Law Enforcement. Law enforcement seem to only want to deal with the symptom. During the Christmas season, when we're shopping at the mall, police tell us to lock everything up, and to keep valuables out of sight. If we don't do this, and stuff gets stolen, insurance won't have to pay, because we were told. This is too easy. Instead of doing real work, like investigating, its basically our own fault if stuff gets stolen, why? We're the victims, and get treated like the criminals. We need to deal with the problem, head on. Allow people to protect what is theirs, and bust the bastards who break into our homes and vehicles, and punish them with hard labor. We shouldn't have to lock everything up, 30 years ago, we didn't have to, so what happened? Enforcement wanted easy money, like seatbealt, radar, and photo radar tickets. If someone breaks into your vehicle, they can't be bothered. Some laws seem to favour gov't coffers over public well being, I guess I'll never understand. I do understand there are always exceptions, but if we get to the young criminal element early, and put some fear into them, along with some positive ethics, they MAY turn into respectable adults.

Depends on the level of threat he poses.

Actually, the last time some moron brought grief to our home, SCB punched the guy in the mouth so hard he flew off the front porch. Then proceeded to chased him down the driveway in her purple housecoat and fuzzy pink slippers.

All he did was utter a threat.

I wonder if this kid will be as understanding when Bubba says, "it is your fault that I buggered you".

Oh yeah we really saw that after the London riots. :roll:

OK, that's funny! Last (& only) one to break into my house,
came in through my backdoor (which I don't lock) while I
was at work. My buddys camcorder was sitting on top of
my fridge a couple feet from the door, etc.....

I remember the day. I came home from work at noon. It was
February and -27c. I came around the backside of my house
and the outside wooden door was closed, but the inside metal
door was open. It was very quiet.

I quietly walked up my back steps and opened the exterior door,
planning to look inside and listen....and ended up in a rolling ball
on my deck with the Rottweiler 'till he recognized me.



I've a landing just inside my backdoor, with a short flight of stairs
up, and a longer flight going down. I use to keep my recyclables
at the top of the top flight of stairs. There were pop bottles and
stuff everywhere, part of the sleive off of a parka, some blood,
etc....& nothing missing. I think word spread. I expected the
police and animal services or bylaw enforcement, etc... to
show up on my doorstep but that never happened. I never
reported the break-in...and even (through the grapevine) found
out who entered my home.

Dude was an adict that lived across the street and 5 houses
down. Figured he gotten his punishment already, and I didn't
want the authorities questioning me about my critters. I'd wave
at the dude and smile :lol: after that whenever I saw him. Never
had the urge to talk to him, 'cuz I didn't trust myself to not
mention that I knew. ;-)

There seems to be an epidemic among the youth of today. Within the past few days a young guy was knifed in the stomach at a party in the Fraser Valley while 50 people watched! Not one of those 50 is cooperating with police! Isn't there even enough decency to send an anonymous note to the cops, so at least they have somewhere to start? Is being a "rat" on the same level as pedophilia? It's quickly becoming a sick society! 8O

Even more corrupt and thieving than the kid, although they write better letters.

That guy truly was a moron, as you both can easily take care of yourselves.

Most kids who get into trouble with the law actually come from homes where there is all kinds of abuse, neglect or abandonment and that can include emotional abandonment by parents who are too busy with their own concerns to have time for their kids. These youths don't have respect for authority because the authority figures they know are not worthy of respect and they lash out in rage, disregard for ethics and morals and take it out on others in society. We need to start looking at lot more at how to prevent all this by nurturing a better understanding of what children need to grow up healthy and with good ethics, and we need to hold parents more accountable in cases of youth crimes, frankly.
