In that case, it depends on the context on who the "victim" is. Some people are just assholes who deserve whatever is coming to them. :|

Yes, that's exactly how i look at it. :)

Here's another tricky one. If Hitler was raped, would you feel sorry for him?

Erm, wow, that's a tough one. I'd imagine it would be hard not to feel sorry for him, because rape is traumatic, no matter who you are.

Yes, i agree that it would be traumatic for anyone and i don't think it would be any less traumatic for Hitler. However, i think it would be very hard for me to feel sorry for him because of what he did to all those innocent people. I'm sure they would have been even more traumatized by the things he did to them.

Anyway, i have another question (which i actually got from one of the earlier comments made by somebody else). If a white supremacist walks past a load of Afro-American gang members holding a sign saying "n*****s go home", and they get beaten up or shot, are they totally blameless?

Well, arguably the sign would be encouraging hate speech, so the white supremacist would be to blame for making the sign in the first place.

Yeah, i agree. An unprovoked attack is one thing, but that's just tempting fate.
