A member of the House of Representatives was arrested after a video showed him assaulting a delivery man who refused to enter his home, insisting the delivery should end at the address, not inside the building. While many condemned the lawmaker’s behavior, one comment blamed the delivery man, saying, “If the bolt driver had done his job professionally, it wouldn’t get to this.”
This comment reflects a troubling mindset that excuses abuse by shifting blame onto the victim. Professionalism does not require anyone to endure mistreatment or overstep boundaries. Justifying assault under any circumstance normalizes oppression and undermines accountability. Regardless of roles, everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect.
