If you read up on violent crime against individuals, it has been stated that victims:
1. Never thought it would happen to them.
2. Were totally unaware and caught by surprise when it did happen to them.
I suspect #2 is a result of #1.
We ALL tend to think some riot, civil disobedience, natural disaster, car crash, violent crime, Mormon boys showing up on your front porch, is something that happens to other people.
It has to happen to somebody, may as well be you.
Kind of smart and just plain common sense in our society, to be aware of what's going on around you.
