14. That's part of the problem--that attitude.
Yes, if you wear an expensive watch and shoes in some neighborhoods, it advertises that you have money, and thus makes you more vulnerable to being mugged. But does it mean you DESERVE to be mugged?

Does a "right" of poor people, or of crooks, to mug rich people if they dare to enter a poor neighborhood wearing items that make them look wealthy, exist? Are these people fair prey?

I think not. I think the basic rule of law is that nobody has a right to steal anything from anybody else, no matter how ostentatiously a rich person may display wealth before a poor person.

Under the law, what's ours belongs to us. And under the law, a woman's body belongs to her, too--even if she has a really beautiful one and flaunts it.
