October 17th entry: victim of an armed robbery is ridiculed? So… let me get this straight. When a person makes poor decisions about sexual activity, I’m not supposed to slut-shame. When a victim is raped, I can’t blame the length of the skirt, or the level of intoxication. But when there’s a gun involved, it’s ok to shame and ridicule the victim? Ah, yes… tolerance is encouraged, as long as the activity conforms to the Liberal ideal. I call bullshit.



The victim is robbed at gun point. Substitute gun for purse, wallet, or virginity – not so funny anymore, is it? The victim made poor choices, no different that the drunk co-ed stumbling home alone. The victim of armed robbery is still a victim. There’s no need to ridicule and embarrass the victim.

Please wait...
