Judgment

The recent controversy of the football player who knocked his wife unconscious has spawned another problem. A sportscaster suggested that the woman may have provoked the man. He is getting crucified in the press over this comment. I have discussed this in the past in a way that is not anti-woman. Suppose a lady, dresses in a provocative manner and goes into a bar known for catering to scum bags and she gets attacked. The question then is she in some-way responsible for the attack. Let’s get away from the gender aspect and say a man in a $2,000 suit and $500 shoes goes into a bar on the south side of Chicago at 2 AM and gets mugged. In both of these cases the muggers broke the law and were at fault. Did either this man or this lady act in an inappropriate way? Should they have used better judgment?
