An interesting case happened in my country. A disabled guy on a wheelchair had his money stolen from him on the internet. I've read about it and this is what happened: A young man hooked up with the disabled one on a website and pretended to be a girl. He even sent him a few fake photos. Then he told him he was in love with him and wanted money. First to pay his debts, then to buy a car, a house.. Eventually he ripped him off about $50,000.
What I find strange about this case is the attitude of the crowds - yelling for "justice", believing that the thief should be sent to jail for the rest of his days. To steal from a disabled person, what a shame! But I thought he was physically disabled, not mentally. And he handed him over the money voluntarily. So what's the point? Yeah, maybe he wasn't really a girl. Is it now a crime to lie? And what if it was a girl and she took the money and left - would it make any difference? I think that it was smart from the thief to get the money this way and he should keep it. At least it would be considered a warning for people NOT TO GIVE MONEY TO STRANGERS YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN. You get it? Really? Wow, I thought it was really difficult to find out the meaning hidden behind my words written in capital letters to be made more obvious.
Another thing that caught my interest is the attitude of my country about drug dealers vs. drug addicts. We have a new law that a genius mastermind must have come with. You can take and possess drugs in limited amounts (enough to die from overdose) but it's forbidden to sell them. What? I have always thought that drugged people were dangerous to themselves and their surroundings, not merchants. I really doubt that dealers force drugs into peoples' mouths, veins, noses, and other orifices. It's always your choice whether to take a drug or not. And kids are taught that drugs are bad since they're about 7-8 years old, so not knowing is not an excuse either. If you sell drugs - so what? Nobody forces people to buy them. But it's really dangerous to take them if you choose to do so. So why blame the dealers? People must really hate them here, because unlike them addicts can often use their addiction as an excuse for other crimes. And they also get free food, shelter, treatments etc. Even though it's always their fault. Think about it.
