(14,559 posts)"portray the victim as some sociopathic criminal mastermind" Care to back that up with a quote?
"the violent criminal who tried to rob said victim, at gunpoint," Care to back up the 'at gunpoint' quote? All we know is the police found a gun at the scene and the shooter was able to kill him without being shot which indicates to me that there was no "at gunpoint".
"Blaming this victim for being armed at the ATM machine is like blaming a sexual assault victim for her attire, or a domestic abuse victim for not leaving her abuser." I did not do that.
"Now youve got one in this thread flat out saying that the victim who had to defend himself wasnt a victim at all. Like he planned this whole thing out so he could kill an innocent armed robber." I did not do that.
I admire your vivid imagination, perhaps you should take up fiction writing.
What I DID do is say that human life is worth more than a few dollars. I lament the way the gun culture has cheapened life to the point an ATM withdrawl is more valuable that a human life. Any human life.
