    wow! somehow you came to the conclusion that I am victim-blaming ? :-/

    the perpetrators are the ones who are going to victimize the groups who cant defend themselves.

    Be prepared for all sorts of predators, pedo-philes, serial killers to start their closet journey and they will claim victimhood better than most normal people.

    Police will defend their own people even if police commit the crime.

    Right-wingers will claim special providence when their people commit the crime.

    Criminals will claim to be part of a vulnerable group just so they can commit the crime.

    Make up your own mind and judgement what is the safest choices.

    Do not become victims of criminals.

    Be Safe and Carry on living peacefully.

      Since when has being the member of a minority group made it easier for you to get away with committing a crime? Minorities have always been persecuted more severely and more often for crimes than the majority.

      Your comment is like saying that native-born people would pretend to be immigrants to get away with crimes. It doesn’t make any sense. How would that help them?

      Nobody is interested in defending people who are criminals. There should be a burden of proof required for minorities just as there is for non-minorities. The reality we have is that minorities don’t get the benefit of the doubt that non-minorities do, so, if anything, it’s harder for criminals from a minority group to get away with things.

      So yeah, you kind of are victim blaming, I think. LGBTQ+ are the victims of a right-wing hate campaign that labels them as groomers, so when people just assume that accusations are baseless, you’re saying that’s LGBTQ+ people’s responsibility. No, the responsibility is with the hate mob.
