DY is right. Close the thread. CA’s comment should have been mod’d out in the first place. We all know that there are some people in this world that cope with any given tragedy by grasping for straws to try and blame the victims. That’s something that SHOULD be a “frum” issue unlike country roads.
And, while we’re at it, is it really possible that people live in such a backwards bubble that they think walking down an urban road in say Brooklyn NY is safer simply on account of the presence of sidewalks than a road in a country town in which violent crimes happen maybe once every 10 years?
