On the one hand it is,IMO,very,*very* unwise for a young woman to be roaming the streets of NYC at midnight...particularly alone. But,OTOH,that doesn't mean that such a young woman is fair game for murder.

A kid..her first time away from home...her parents should have had a *long* talk with her before she left.

Not midnight - it was just after dark at 5:30 p.m.

Your statement is true.. However she was killed shortly before 7:00 p.m.

[Veto!]

Parents may have had that long talk with her, but teenagers don’t listen.

Parents must be devastated.

Especially in a Harlem park

This was around 7 pm, not midnight, if I recall correctly

The Talk?

[silverleaf]

She was attacked at 5:30pm

Her parents should not have let her leave Northern Virginia.

There are so many excellent colleges there.

Tessa Majors was murdered at 5:30 pm when it was dusk but not night, in a park across the street from her college. That’s a long way from the pejorative “roaming the streets at midnight”. I don’t think you intended to blame the victim, but whoever twisted the facts certainly did. Where did the false narrative come from?

Camille Paglia answered this question long ago. ”Of course you have the right to walk in Central Park at midnight but really — What are you thinking, girl?!

This not blaming the victim. It may be a moral lesson in common sense, and that making bad choices often has bad consequences.

So now we should believe the murderers?
