I never once "attacked the victims". You need to read my comments a little closer. My comments have been almost exclusively about the mentality of criminals.

Your posts sure seem like you are trying to lead a horse to water over the victims playing a part IMHO

I'm sorry if that's what you took away from my posts, because that was not my intention at all. This was not the "fault" of the victims.

The point I've been trying to get across - sadly, with very minimal success - is that it's extremely rare for someone to just be just randomly murdered. The girl visiting N.O. from Boston, Amy something, who was killed from a falling bullet on NYE about 25 years ago: That's a random murder.

I still don't think that the six guys who broke down that door in the middle of the night selected it at random. Maybe, but I don't think so. That observation is not analogous to saying to saying it's the fault of the victims. The Lee brothers and their cohorts were there for a reason, apparently completely unknown to the unlucky residents, but they were there with a reason and bad intent.

I don't know what else to say. I'm not trying to break anyone's balls or blame the victims. I surely wouldn't want to be in Cork's position. I hope he can put this all behind him when the trial(s) are finally over, but that's much easier said than done.
