7. Of course, if you are doing something you shouldn't

nothing anyone does to you is wrong. You're shoplifting and someone puts a revolver behind your ear and pulls the trigger blowing your brains out? Or maybe they just pistol whip you and take your wallet. Either way, too bad for you. By breaking the law you made yourself fair game for someone else's consequence free crime. You're dealing drugs on the corner and somebody drives by and unloads a shotgun into your face? Too bad for you. You shouldn't have been out there breaking the laws. You shouldn't have been doing something wrong. No harm no foul. The killer must go free. You're a tax cheat and somebody breaks into your apartment stealing everything of value and all your money? Too bad for you, the law doesn't have to catch the thief and restore your belongings. You're a hooker and somebody brutally rapes you? Too bad for you. You shouldn't have been using your body to commit a crime. But because you did, all bets are off and there's no such thing as rape for you.

Once you're doing something wrong, you've no right to expect the protection of law. Yeah that's justice.
Stupid conservative Judge. Like most of her kind she confuses the social respectability of victim of the crime to be determinant of the defendant's measure of guilt. The law forbidding videotaping, without consent, people having sex or getting undressed is the law regardless of who the perpetrator is violating. Smith's violation of the law doesn't give Jones license to then commit crimes against Smith. People who don't get that will also say "you can't really rape a whore" and "Whatever happens to prison inmates in jail at the hands of other inmates is just part of their punishment."
