I could REALLY destroy this argument, and I mean REALLY, but I'm not sure if I should bother. I grew up in Brooklyn, NYC, and muggings are a dime a dozen. Quite often, you know the guy mugging you, or one of his relatives, which is why muggers have short careers in my old stomping grounds.
Yeah I realized that. Still, I'd bet teens and young adults are especially vulnerable to those situations as well.
They make up most of the muggers. The victims are more likely to be of similar age or older.
Still, a black dude, while maybe more statistically likely to engage in such acts, doesn't have an actual advantage when committing the act itself. An older individual however, has an inherent power advantage over the younger, they have stability, money, transportation, seniority, often housing. That kind of power imbalance is easy to abuse, even accidentally. Not even malice. That type of power imbalance is also far less likely with someone of your own age. A minor power imbalance isn't the end of the world, but the larger the imbalance, the easier it is to abuse, even accidentally.
Ok. Neat to know.
Usually, they already have their gun drawn while the victim doesn't. And in NY, its one of the states whose gun laws are retarded and essentially reward the criminals and punish legal owners. It's extremely hard to own a handgun LEGALLY. But crooks? Lol it's super easy to get one. So, I can't agree here either.
I said, he doesn't have an inherent advantage, by being black.
Ah. I missed that. Was too gung-ho. Apologies.
Eh, it was a joint effort. I only just started on the forums and it's happened twice to me, so *shrug*
No, it's nasty and it may be predatory.
There is a reason it's a popular trope with teen and young adult women/girls. Twilight isn't the only big franchise that did it and was widely popular.
