Just another day in New Orleans

"They shouldn't have had it in their car."

"She shouldn't have dressed that way."

The 'reasoning' behind them are remarkably similar

Of course it's as much your right to flaunt your body as much as it is to leave a gun in your new truck with an NRA sticker.

And yet, having the right to do something doesn't automatically make it a good decision.

If I let a woman I was with walk alone to her car at 3am in Nola and something happened to her, I would not be legally liable, after all criminals be criminals. But I would feel horrible about it.

I don't understand where the concept came from where we feel we should all be able to wash our hands of any consequences as long as we don't personally break the law.
