bangbang023 Veteran Posted July 5, 2005 Veteran Share Posted July 5, 2005 yup, and other brand are making white headphones just to looks like ipod headphones... wow 586163713[/snapback] Sony. Sadly enough, they are so popular at my place of work, that they had to put them in security cases because people were stealing them left and right.

revvo Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 This would never happen where I live in Montreal, there a white earphones every corner you go.Very sad and stupid though this story. 586159332[/snapback] So true.Around here loads of ppl have ipods and they freely roam around without worries. I bought Sony ex71 earbuds not because I'm a walking target but because the ipod earbuds suck :pinch: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retri Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 In my country you get a bullet in the head only for the headphones (the cheaper ones)..... 200+ people die in Caracas every weekend product of delinquency And we're not in war :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djesteban Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 This is why, at least in this city, you have to get different headphones. Those white cords are asking for trouble. 586159315[/snapback] What?!?!? so your saying it's HIS fault for getting killed because he was wearing an Ipod with the original headphones!?!? wow, that truely shows the mentality in the US (not generalizing though) :( Have you ever thought of looking at this in the other way around? Maybe it's your society that's ****** up... maybe people roaming your street needs more education so they don't turn into gang thugs. Man, I though this city, the big NYC had evoluted since the days NaS was singing Illmatic..... doesn't seems so :( Thinking like you should be the one buying new headphones because if your not... your the one asking for trouble really troubles me.... This would never happen where I live in Montreal, there a white earphones every corner you go.Very sad and stupid though this story. yeah... exactly... I live in Montreal too... not as big as NYC, but still..... something like that would never happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbluepride35 Posted July 7, 2005 Author Share Posted July 7, 2005 ^^It's not blaming the victim, it's using common sense. Look whether or not you like it, the fact is in NY iPod theft is becoming a serious problem. The NYPD issued warnings about a month ago to people to conceal them as much as possible. Now, I'm not saying "o the kid deserved to die becuase he didn't use his head." But it just shows further evidence that UNFORTUNATELY these measures make common sense. NYC HAS evolved. Fact is crime has gone down each year since the early 90s. Still, though there's no such thing as a utopian city (at least I have yet to hear of one). People have to start using common sense to protect themselves. If I was going to some strange neighborhood where I knew crime was a seirous problem I would not go in flashing products that are expensive status symbols. Nobody blamed the victim but if you want to better your odds of not being a victim of a-holes like this, you have to take measures to make yourself as small a target as possible. O and I'm pretty sure every city in every country has crime so let's not just blame NY or American society because that basically IS generalizing.

And again, the murder is an isolated case. The theft is much more common but this is just one (and hopefully remains only) extreme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
