Everything else aside, why would you blame the girl, based on what he said there is no logic behind that reasoning. Everyone knows that even though a story starts out with the actual facts by the time it gets back around to the original source its usually blown out of proportion, sometimes no but more often yes. Maybe the person he heard it from got some facts wrong in his attempt to relay the story. Or maybe someone assumed when they shouldn't have. Either way the girl was attacked, unlike a lot of men I don't think women go around asking for it or looking for trouble. She could have been in the wrong place at the wrong time. He also said he wasn't sure where Corondo was, everyone isn't into geography. And just because in your 42 years you have never had an attempt on your life doesn't mean that it's not a common occurrence, Statistics beg to differ. Myself I've never been in the wrong place at the wrong time but I know people that have been, through no fault of their own. Just my opinion and reply to your comment, not meant to offend you.
