I'm certainly not blaming. But I would not be walking through Princes Park at night.

So it's OK if we blame you if your house gets broken into and you get raped? The person who did it, is not at fault at all then? After all you must be pretty stupid for sleeping in your own home alone.

Question - if you hadn’t been bashed would you still be walking home? I bet you would and you would have a very different opinion.
Not sure the area you live in but I don’t think there are too many areas in SA that are inherently too dangerous to even walk
Dark parks at night are inherently dangerous - no way would I be going into Dead Man's Pass at night. No way would I be walking around the South Parklands at night. No way would I be walking through Fremont Park at night. It is just stupid to think you can walk through these areas with complete safety.
I still walk home from the pub in Gawler, to my house at Evanston Park, even though random attacks have occurred, and I can tell you I keep to the main road and keep my eyes open. Why would I put myself in greater danger by walking through parks and dark areas just because I have a right to walk around unmolested? It's just not real world thinking.

Interesting take.

Can they do that anymore?
Or is that victim blaming the kids?

You and HH3 still haven’t explained why your threshold for being too dangerous to walk is better/worse than anyone else’s. How can you possibly know.
Some people wouldn’t walk down hindley or even Rundle streets and would think anyone being out after dark “should be more aware of their surroundings”
I’m sure neither of you lads are that bad but what makes your threshold the correct one?

I for one can see the similarities between sleeping in one's own home and walking through a dark park late at night.
