The Use Of The Word, "lynching" In The Media.

[Gringoboy]

The general consensus used to be:
Let them have your valuables
Let them take your bike
Open up your house to them if they poke a gun at your head next to your front door.
In other words, do nothing, say nothing.
And surely this is exactly what the scum feed off.
Whilst it's true that your life is worth far more than your possessions,fighting back is another way, albeit a dangerous way when guns or knives are involved.

I meant social victims.

What about the great majority of "social victims" who do not resort to robbery and assault? Are they fools for not doing so?

 

[Gringoboy]

My very simple reply to this topic is now being checked.
I mean, really??

Matias,

Before my head spins 360 degrees around and I spew green vomit can you please elaborate on this? Just so I know exactly what you are trying to say.

 

[TomAtAlki]

If you had a global view you'd realize that the ladrones are the actual victims.

Bullshit!

I actually assumed that Matias was being ironic, but if his statement was taken literally, then I'd agree with your response. At most their poverty is a mitigating factor to be taken into account at sentencing. At most.

I thought he was being literal, but I'd be pleased to hear him say he was being ironic.

I agreed with what CFK said, somebody who is the waste of these societies, someone whos actual life value is 2 pesos, someone who is treated every day in every moment as the worst people, that dont have ANYTHING, not a house, not a bed to sleep, they hardly eat every day, they beg in the streets, they are condemned to a miserable life, by whom? by all of us.
Those people have to live and deal with the advertising, with the publicity that says that you are what you have.
Put them on school, give them a decent roof, and or a decent job, not talking of middle class, just working class life, so they stop being excluded and pointed by everyone as the last human beings, and this problems will be solved.
They rob because they have nothing, they have nothing to lose, they rob because they are bombed by this society of objects, of things, of merchandise, and they are excluded of this consumerism.
There are lots of people that rob million dollars from the states, white collar thieves, CEOs, bankers, people who can make trillions dollars in one afternoon by doing click in the mouse, and they can put pressure on the state, taking out the money destined to socail plans to allow these people have a decent life.
There are mafias with the banking system, the financial system, the international debt system, trillions of dollars destined to make weapons to kill people, and this poor man that robs because has nothing is the victimist?

These poor people is excluded of the society, they dont have a job or a house or valuable things. They are treated as their life value 2 pesos, why would we expect from them to treat us with respect? how would we expect to be treated by them if we treat them like that?

Why then, Matías, do the poor of Buenos Aires not form a unified army of motochorros stalking the streets of Recoleta?

 

[EricLovesBA]

We should form a Matias Adopt-a-Motochorro foundation. If somebody is thinking about robbing, they can call us and we invite them over to our house to help themselves to anything they want - computer, debit card, heck, if due to their unhappy circumstance they failed to attract a decent wife or girlfriend, they should have ours, at least for a few days until they are feeling better. Stop the violence! Let them have whatever they want with kindness and love!!!
