You can't say that. The jogger was running alone at 4 am in Memphis. That's risky behavior. He was out for no good on some unfortunate young woman though, you're right on that.If only the mother of Cleotha Abston would have aborted her pregnancy, Eliza Fletcher would still be alive today.
the fact is people should be able to jog or go for a walk whatever time of the day or night they want to.. statistics prove that you're more likely to be attacked in the middle of the night, so therefore not many people are out jogging at 4am...You can't say that. The jogger was running alone at 4 am in Memphis. That's risky behavior.
In my view this is a very racist post.Hmmm. Cleotha was born long before the SC and Roe V Wade. Why would Cleotha's mother not have aborted him? Just a guess, but baby Cleotha just might have been a meal ticket for a Project apartment. Face Facts. Crime and race go hand in hand. Why? IQ. Back during the Gold Rush era Chinese laborers were imported to perform the lowest forms of manual labor, labor that Whites wanted no part of. They were looked down upon and discriminated against. Today, the descendants of those laborers populate our universities and sport a median family income greater than their White neighbors, while Blacks live in poverty and crime. Could it be because East Asians are measurably more intelligent than European Caucasians, while those of African descent tip the bottom of the scale and populate our prisons. Who is at fault? Discrimination? Nope. Blame Darwin and evolution in far different environments.
No I was just speaking generally about Victim blaming... because I saw on TV a lot of people are saying that she brought it on herself by going out at 4am..Not blaming the victim but being a contrarian to Ben's statement!![]()
It's not all that safe at 4 pm, either. The only time it's safe there is when it's heavily patrolled by police, which is in the evenings.Not blaming the victim either, but going out to run at 4 am in downtown Memphis is not a smart thing to do.
I was watching a discussion about this case, and the American Legal team said similar.. and that they should also carry a Knife.. BUT.. before they or anyone carries a knife, they need to learn to use it, otherwise it would be used against themDamn shame. Women need to carry pepper spray or a taser if they’re in a vulnerable position, like jogging alone. A young woman in my town disappeared in broad daylight while jogging about 30 years ago, and it haunts this town to this day. It was a small town then. No body was ever found. Her name was Rachael.
It is so sad that people would even have to consider arming themselves before they take an innocent walk or run.I was watching a discussion about this case, and the American Legal team said similar.. and that they should also carry a Knife..

Honestly this was a legal team discussing this on Court TV tonight
It certainly isn't.Not blaming the victim either, but going out to run at 4 am in downtown Memphis is not a smart thing to do.
Interesting .gov website, but I am going to heed the wisdom of Radish Rose and bow out before I'm kicked out. One last remark -- in all fairness I should say that that the honor of being the brightest among us goes not to East Asians, but rather the Ashkenazi Jew. Must be the Gefilte Fish?Here you go:
East Asian, White, and Black adoptees raised in the same environment would have similar IQs, hinting at a minimal role for genes in racial IQ differences.

Reality usually is sad.It is so sad that people would even have to consider arming themselves before they take an innocent walk or run.
Reminds me of a guy I used to know. He owned expensive photography equipment & I suggested he at least hide it in the trunk when he parked. He told me people are basically good & I was "paranoid" & he wouldn't want to live like that.I think this person was just looking for a victim ... no matter what .......
with that said I do not think it is blaming the victim........
but many many times in various crimes ..........the victims do items that put themselves ....... MORE at risk ....
