is it right? fuck no. that's why it's a crime.
i'm all for teaching people to not become victims in the first place. you can be very proactive in that regard. i can greatly lessen my chance of becoming a robbery victim by handling financial transactions in appropriate places and not downtown gary, indiana at 3 am.
