Reply to comment by Sickpup831 in NYPD seeks 4 suspects who stole Apple Air Pod Max headphones off of at least 21 people by Bigrod1965

Until we live in fairy land where all is perfect, yes, you do need to exercise a certain amount of caution. What's wrong with people using some common sense?

So you’re in the same crowd that says women get raped because they dress provocatively then?

What a dumb and extreme example. Rape is apparently the same thing as a robbery on the street?

What you’re essentially saying is the same thing. People shouldn’t be allowed to wear nice headphones in the street because criminals can’t control themselves.

Nah he's saying signs of wealth make you a more likely target for robbery, which isn't wrong. Airpods are extreme cause everyone has them but saying something like "don't go crazy flashing expensive watches cause u might get robbed" is valid

It’s common fucking sense lmao. We don’t live in a perfect world. I would call wearing a Rolex in the subway also fucking stupid. Same with walking alone on the streets of East New York at 2am. Do they deserve to be robbed? Absolutely not. But is it a stupid thing to do? Yes, because it dramatically increases your chances of getting robbed.

We don’t live in a perfect world and it’s not victim blaming to point that out.

And the fact you compared this to rape shows you completely lack nuance in your argument.
