MIB has a point, badly articulated but I see what he’s saying!
If you stand outside Ibrox in a Celtic shirt shouting profanity’s & get stabbed then I’d say you brought it on yourself, I’m not saying it’s right but you brought it on yourself.
I fully understand the difference but don't agree with it at all. I gave you a couple examples with assault involved which you responded by saying its a difference story when it gets physical. A line which you have now contradicted.Really struggle to understand how people do not get the difference between brought it on yourself & condoning something.
You were moving in the right direction until this.

SO let me understand you using another analogy. If a young girl wearing revealing dress with short skirt, walks through a dark ally late at night by herself to go home and is raped, has she brought it upon herself?
Unfortunately in the world we live in ONE I will be advising my daughter not to walk down dark alleys at night alone , you read time & time again or see in the news horrific crimes like you mention & often I think to myself god why were u there in that situation in the first place.
I mean, that's wrong anyway. Most rapes are committed between people who know each other, friends, family, acquaintances. Stranger danger isn't quite as big as a problem as people think it is, ditto for the stereotypical violent rape - it is apparently mostly date rape etc. - The statistics are a mere 10% of cases btw: https://rapecrisis.org.uk/mythsvsrealities.php , with the familiarity of rapists going up to 93% when it comes to rape against children and teenagers.
But in any case, while I can agree with the principle that if you stick your hand in a lion's cage, it's your own fault if the lion chooses to use it for dinner, I will never agree with the principle that someone has 'brought it on themselves' in an official capacity such as refereeing - It's a slippery slope to go down, if we're legitimising abusing someone for being inadequate at their job, or having a bad day, then it's just a beeline into vigilante justice, abuse and violent conduct in any other walk of life.
Er... how did we end up here again?
Huh? I made one post!Ask Graeme & ONE!
