Imagine being ordered by airport security workers to put your very expensive watch on a scanning belt, over your objections. Then imagine going to retrieve it and it’s gone. [More]Seeing as how their belief that they own us has been tolerated, their belief that they also own our property isn't all that hard to imagine.

a $24,000 rolex belongs in a bin completely by itself, accompanied by a hard stare directly in the eyes of every single one of those knuckle-dragging lunch-line motherf-ers that might come anywhere near it.
ReplyDeleteNo, jon... such a watch belongs in a safe, left at home. Her property is HER responsibility, nobody else's.
ReplyDeleteIt's sort of like walking through south central Los Angeles dripping with jewels and gold chains.
You'd better be one of the BIG boys and able to defend them, or you will be toast.
She was stupid to take such a thing into a den of thieves.
So mamma......... It is the victims fault? People who can afford such things need to just leave them at home because someone might steal them? WTF????
ReplyDeleteI expected much better from you, shame shame
This is why I do not fly. Haven't since 2002, when the .gov made me. I will not subject myself to their degradation, nor their theft, arrogance, stupidity....

Do YOU deliberately go to the worst part of town, totally alone and unarmed, and expect the robbers to honor your "right" to carry your jewels and gold without being molested?
OF COURSE it is wrong for them to rob you. That's not the question.
She knew where she was going and should have known the character of the goons she was entrusting with her life. I'm still asking why she would do that?
Misplaced trust can get you robbed... or even killed. It isn't a matter of "fault," but of rational thinking and decision making.
I don't trust alligators, and therefore would never dream of swimming naked in a swamp.
