The person blaming the rape victim for this predictably has about a 3rd grade education judging by the inability to create a sentence of sound structure, so I'm not sure encouraging him/her to elaborate is worth the effort.
Would these militant "don't blame the victim" people tell their daughters it's an ok idea to wander the city blackout drunk late at night?
I'm not blaming her, no one deserves that, didn't even imply it.
I just want to know how she ended up there. Which bar did she go to, where were her friends, was she drugged in a bar and dumped there by someone after they were done with her. did she stumble out on her own and thought she was safe cause nothing ever happens to her?
Anything is possible and if there is something we can learn and work on from her experience, maybe it won't happen to someone else.

This is a big problem--I see a lot of young people either wandering around confused or passed out from being too intoxicated. I have had to get the police to pick up some of them, when they are too drunk to say or remember where they live. In many cases, their friends have just left them there. Nice friends, huh. And it's not only girls who are at risk, of course.

I don't think he is blaming her, but rather pondering why there are so many women in the city who are not "streetwise." If I walked down my street and started noticing that many of the cars were being left unlocked with valuables inside, I might wonder why this is and what are these car owners thinking.

[QUOTE=sharkey;536288]The number of people I see walking around engrossed in their cell phone and ignoring their surroundings is staggering. Or, my friend's wife decided that to make her 3 block walk home in South Philly "safer" she would call her husband on her iPhone and have a conversation with him while walking. HUH??

Yes, its dangerous to get fall down drunk and pass out in public places. Besides being in a dimished state to protect yourself from muggers, pick pockets, would be rapists, you also risk doing things like tripping and falling and injuring yourself, passing out in the path of an oncoming train, bus, truck, whatever. Never wise for anyone. That said the only person whose "fault" it is that a rape occurred is the rapist's.
