Okay, but what's funny? What makes the perpetrator something to be admired and laughed with (see the posts in this thread which I'm referring to), and not someone dishonest, cruel, and sick enough to prey on women for his own sexual jollies. And yes I'm sure he was preying on these women now (again see above posts), given the demographic he was targeting.

And where is the compassion in us if we dismiss total responsibility off on the victim, as if it really is their entire fault? Your reasoning also could easily be applied to many cases of sexual assault and rape where the victim “brought it on themselves”. Perhaps you feel the same way if a girl is foolish and gets date raped. I don’t know.

You are assuming everyone knows what you do, or has the same level of common sense, or even has the capacity to learn as you can. That’s not reality. People are going to make poor choices everyday. Should we just not care at all about what happens to those people?

If I bought a women a drink at a bar, common sense says don't accept drinks from strange men at bars unless you've seen it poured, because it could be drugged. But that's not something you'd know unless you were informed. Your brother was told these NYC cardinal rules beforehand I assume right? Or did you expect him to know this at birth?

This does not even address my point of people who really will never get it, and really are just plain stupid. Thoughts on that? Do they get what they deserve if they are victimized. You aren't saying that but other people in this thread have.

Try for one second forgetting what you know. You check the ID's of maintenance people you call, well I know you weren't checking ID's from the day your were born. This is something you learned, and had the ability to retain.

I absolutely agree with you, they could have easily prevented this like all the other women at the doors he knocked at did. But they didn't know, and didn't prevent it, and had the pleasure of getting felt up and manually penetrated by this sicko. Is no sympathy really warranted? (again as was specifically stated in above posts)

I've maintained only two real thoughts throughout this thread-
A. Nothing is funny about this "genius"
B. There is reason to have sympathy for these "dumb", "idiot" "clueless" women (you may not feel it, but there is still a reason)

In this case these women are poor, don't speak much English, and probably have no idea what standard medical practices are in this country. They very likely DON'T know that "home breast exams don't happen" as you pointed out earlier. Likely they thought "wow this is such a great country with caring people". Well now I'm sure they see the light. If you can call that "light".

I'd say that was pretty dark actually.
