What we need are several incidents where the intended victim turns the tables on the attackers. The NYC subway case involving Bernhard Goetz is an example. The "youths" approached Goetz because he fit their profile (it's interesting how they profile but law enforcement cannot) of the perfect victim. A thin, bespectacled, bookish looking White man. Armed with their screwdrivers they were confident that this nerdy "cracker" would be unarmed, would shrink in fear, plead with them not to hurt him and surrender whatever they demanded . They were also confident that there would be no intervention in Goetz's behalf on the part of the other passengers on the train. Goetz had been victimized before and this time he was armed and prepared. Although Goetz suffered the legal consequences of his actions (He would have been better off had he dispatched them to the next life) ,he became a folk hero in the minds of many Americans who were sick to Hell of the epidemic of violence against decent citizens by the predators.

The violence has worsened here in the USA. The predators profile their victims and select the elderly for their weakness and women for rape and murder (the horrific murders of Lauren Burke and Eve Carson last week is a typical and all too frequent example.) College coeds seem to be a highly at risk group these days. The two coeds were imbued with idealism and the love of "diversity" and to the point where they were oblivious to the danger to themselves. I can't even imagine what their families are suffering right now.

This will stop only when the predators begin to be afraid. If all the passengers on that train had come to the defense of those young guys and had beaten those "youths" to a condition where they would never be the same again, it might have inspired the rest of the Dutch population to take a new direction in their relations with their invaders.
