On edit: I guess you could argue the woman who gets raped should have been packing to ward off her attacker herself.

The Parking Ticket
My wife and I went into town and visited a shop.  When we came out, there was a cop writing a parking ticket.
We went up to him and I said, "Come on, man, how about giving a senior citizen a break?"
He just ignored us and continued writing the ticket.
I called him an "a**hole."
He glared at me and started writing another ticket for having worn-out tires.  So my wife called him a "s*ithead."
He finished the second ticket and put it on the windshield with the first.
Then he started writing more tickets.
This went on for about 20 minutes.  The more we abused him, the more tickets he wrote.
He finally finished, sneered at us and walked away.
Just then our bus arrived, and we got on it and went home.
We always look for cars with Biden stickers.  We try to have a little fun each day now that we're retired.

Otherwise, it's time to up your self-awareness.

One does have to wonder though if American Christians have ever read or are familiar with Matthew 6:5-8.

When you pray, you shall not be as the hypocrites, for
they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and in the
corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men.

The parents complained to the school board that their kids felt pressure to join for fear of being ostracized or having their game/playtime affected. These complaints to the school board led to the board telling him to knock it off. Instead of complying, he enlisted a bunch of far-right lawyers to help his cause, and it all went downhill from there. The guy is a jerk and SCOTUS got this wrong.

“A lot of people probably don’t want to celebrate our nation right now, and we can’t blame them,” the Friday edition of Orlando’s “City News” read. “When there is so much division, hate and unrest, why on earth would you want to have a party celebrating any of it?”
"The city apologized the next day, saying it “sincerely regrets” the message’s “negative impact."

Leave it to Ron DeSantis' Florida to muck up the 4th of July.
