It is a shame that many Whites have been conditioned my society to not fight back.
In the same way, people get conditioned to expect to do things and get away with it. Just recently I found the wallet of a young twenty-something progressive who had, the night before, been robbed at gunpoint outside his house by the typical 20-30 year old, 5'9", black male. In talking to him later along with two older women from his workplace, he said that if the other victims during that spate of about 4 or 5 robberies in two hours within several blocks wanted to identify the guy to the cops, that was okay, but that he didn't want "to persecute" the guy, but was more interested in knowing what drove him to do that action. The women said that other potential victims depended upon those that could to identify him and get him put away. I said that people act according to their expectations and that if this guy gets away with it, then he will act on his expectations of getting away with it and harm more people and then who would be responsible for that. The young guy seemed more interested in being committed to his ideology on behalf of what he thought was a downtrodden black criminal than to acting to help protect other people that he would prey on. I'm looking forward to subsequent conversations. He seems like a really nice guy, but getting mugged by reality just reinforced his progressive ideology rather than disabusing him of it.

I'm looking forward to subsequent conversations. I'm guessing he was relieved of his wallet without suffering physically. I think his perspective would have been different had he been harmed in any way.
