I haven't missed the point. I already agreed with the point.
Then why add an off topic comment? It's a natural thing to want to defend yourself against a stranger breaking down your door. Nearly everyone already does that. However most people never think of the people they normally associate with as a risk....until it happens. And the fact is, that the greater risk is the people one normally associates with.

If there is a roving gang of psycos there is also a good chance it may never be reported and dealt with at the police level.
Did you stay up late watching A Clockwork Orange on the late show last night? Where are there roving gangs of psychos operating?
Police commanders in the highest crime areas are very likely cooking their crime statistics to appease what ever polititians they happen to be brown nosing that season.
This means unless (Until ?) that psycopathic rapist murders or kills someone in a way that provokes public outrage, all his attempts to maim or kill and his stalking will be reported as simple misdemenor assaults or harrasment complaints rather than felonies which means no apb, no investigation beyond filing a report (for which they make you sit and wait a long time before assisting you.)
Let me get this straight, you are asserting that all of the violent crime that is being reported as assaults, rapes and murders between victims and attackers that know each other is actually being committed by roving gangs of psychos and is reported the way it is to cover up the fact that roving bands of psychos are lurking in the shadows everywhere and the powers that be don't want to panic the public so they lie about these crimes?
I do notice is they love to somehow imply it's the victims fault whatever the reason be they will make up a reason if they have to rather than dealing with the issues of violence that plague their jurisdiction.
So you are denying the fact that some people choose to be a victim by making poor choices? The whole point of this thread is to point out that the choices we make in life have a huge affect on if we become a victim of a crime.
