So taking a wrong turn should result in you being mugged, raped and subsequently killed because apparently there was some "safe", but less convenient, passage? You're not helping OSS by making claims like these.

Obviously you're being facetious, that is not at all what that poster is claiming.

While I agree that entering a dark alley shouldn't result in ill effects, if ill effects happen in said dark alley it is still worth the discussion to remind people to stay out of dark alleys in today's day and age (or until the root problem, whatever it is, is improved).

Pretending that it is OK to enter dark alleys and forcing blame elsewhere will continue to have people unwittingly enter dark alleys.

More like taking a deal with the devil and then being surprised that you lost your soul.

That's not what happened here though. The victim paid the muggers... so as you can see something is very wrong in this relationship.
