I think it's unrealistic to think our system can protect us. We all know a cop can't even do anything for the victim until a crime has been committed & that's not a criticism on the police, it's just the way any system has to work--
With that said all I can do is place blame on the victim for failing to take basic steps to defend herself, like having a small gun she coulda carried with her everywhere she goes and some training in it's use
I'm not normally a victim blamer but face up to the facts-- She knew the guy wanted to kill her
I agree with everything except the part she failed to take basic steps to protect herself. Its unrealistic to try to create a perfect system, when it comes to violence this is the fallacy of gun control. But she did take basic steps to protect herself, within the system which failed her.
I don't know how I feel suggesting that every person should take up arms and training in case they are attacked. I agree with the principle and that self defense responsibility lies only on the individual, but not certain carrying a gun is practical for everyone ...its like saying im a guitarist because I bought a guitar and took a free lesson.
