After skimming the Drudgereport today, I came across this new story/video.
http://www.wtop.com/?nid=86&sid=2827048
I am completely appalled at the responses of citizens on the street, as well as the LEO spokesperson. She said something along the lines of the victim having the right to leave the situation unharmed (not the fact that it was public property; he had the right to BE THERE as well) and that he shouldn't have been "relieved of his property".
One man responds with: Where were the police?
A lady says: It's suprising...but [Baltimore is] dangerous
And the one that makes me the most angry: It's awful....but you shouldn't be out late at night like that wondering around the streets
Is it just me, or are they missing all that it means to be free and prosperous U.S. citizens who have an unalienable right to pursue happiness? They act like it's somehow the victim's fault...and that the police should have been there and fixed these magical problems of assault and battery. Like LEO are some sort of physicians for a mindless plague in our society.
This way of Baltimore thinking completely blows me away. These people feel no right to self defense of limb or property...let alone the right to peacefully occupy public space. Apparently it's my fault if I walk down a sidewalk I pay for with my taxpayer dollars if it's early in the morning and I am assaulted. Hooligans don't choose to assault me, it's simply due to my arrogance of occupying public space when I please (also known as individual pursuit of happiness?).
Please, share your thoughts on how brainwashed Maryland must be (or isn't) concerning crime, gun laws, and the purpose of Police.
