You are not responsible if others commit a crime against you. That's their action. They're responsible for their action. Maybe if you egged them on, but I'm not too sure how many times that happens.
I understand what you are getting at, trust me (great phrase for a rape thread, eh ?).
If I were to yell slurs in Chicago, I am not doing anything illegal (providing I'm not directing it at an individual, anyway).
If a large/upstanding/brown citizen were to whip my ass, THAT would be illegal.
There are people in this thread that stated that I would be getting what I deserved.(personal responsibility and all)
However, that all goes out the window when this topic comes up.
It just doesn't make sense to me (on a psychological scale, regarding posters opinion).
The only thing that explains it is White Knight Syndrome.
