Inside the mind of Rebecca Petris

Rebecca Petris who claims to be a consumer advocate refuses to confront
individual surgeons who abuse and damage patients. She also operates a web
site at www.lasermyeye.org, which is notable for the fact that it does not
identify individual surgeons who engage in false advertising.

Is there a cultural explanation for Rebecca's failure/refusal to take strong
action in promoting consumer rights and confronting false advertising? I
believe there is, by the fact that she has adopted the cultural mindset that
permeates her country of residence, Great Britain. An examination of her
web site shows that she does in fact reside in Great Britain:

What is it about Great Britain that has infected Rebecca? It can be
explained by the British view that only those in "authority" who should
confront evil. This mindset is perfectly illustrated by the following
article.

DON'T TACKEL BURGLARS, URGE POLICE [Britain]
The Daily Telegraph (UK) ^ | October 27, 2004 | By John Steele and Philip
Johnston

Police chiefs have urged householders not to confront intruders, but to call
999 and lock themselves in safely until help arrives.

Their advice was issued last night after a judge defended the actions of a
retired man who shot an intruder who had returned for the third time to
break into his isolated country home.

The judge's comments were hailed by victims' groups as the first sign of
"common sense" on the rights of householders to defend their property.

However, the police counselled caution - while admitting that the public had
little faith in their ability to turn up in time.

The debate surrounding the definition of what constitutes the use of
"reasonable force" against intruders was revived by Judge Andrew Hamilton's
comments on Monday during the trial of John Rae, a burglar.
Rae, 22, who was jailed for seven years for a string of burglaries and other
crimes, was shot in the leg by Kenneth Faulkner, 73, at his home in
Ockbrook, Derbyshire.

Mr Faulkner was only told shortly before the trial that he would not be
prosecuted over the shooting.
The judge said that he had "sensibly" armed himself with a shotgun and no
one could criticise him for what he did. "It is only a pity that charges
were considered against him," he added.

Norman Brennan, the director of the Victims of Crime Trust, said the judge
had made clear that the law should be on the side of the property-owner not
the criminal.

"If the householder needs to protect their home and the burglar sustains
injuries, then those injuries are the burglar's fault," he said.
"Householders should only be put before the criminal courts in exceptional
circumstances."

David Blunkett, the Home Secretary, said he was "open to suggestions" about
any changes in the law. However, he did not consider that recent incidents -
which include the alleged murder in London of a 45-year-old teacher by a
burglar - justified any.

The police said that while householders could use "reasonable force" when
confronted by a burglar, their advice was not to intervene.

The Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) said in a statement: "You
can use force, but it has to be reasonable. Police are restrained by that as
well.

"Whether the line is crossed is a decision for the courts to make. We don't
believe in vigilantism or excess violence."

Chief Supt Ian Johnston, vice-president of the Superintendents Association
of England and Wales, said: "The advice should be, first of all, take
commonsense crime prevention steps around your property.

"But if you are broken into - and I know most people will look at this and
say 'It's very good for him to say that in the cold light of day' - really
and truly, you should ring the police. You should not approach the
intruder."
He added: "If the intruder steals some of your property, that's far better
than someone getting killed. Ring police and secure yourself and your
family, but stress that there is a person on the premises. That really is
the only advice we would give."

The advice comes at a time when public confidence in the police has been
severely shaken by recent incidents in which officers failed to take
immediate action when called out to deal with gunmen.

Senior officers readily concede that the public is sceptical about the speed
of police responses and accept that their advice is of little comfort to
residents - especially those in the countryside - who hear disturbing noises
in their homes during the night.

However, police maintain that if householders make clear that an intruder is
on the premises they will respond quickly.

Mr Johnston said: "People will also say - and I have some sympathy for their
thoughts - 'What would he do at 2am or 3am when he hears noises downstairs?'
I understand that, but we must give that very firm advice - do not approach
the intruder."

He added that police were "definitely not" advising people to have weapons
in their homes. "We would not tell the public to arm themselves with any
weapon, legal or illegal. Burglars could be on drink or drugs and that's why
we give the advice we do."

Mr Johnston said the legal situation in Britain was different from that in
America. "If someone dared to enter someone's property in the States they
would be within their constitutional rights to protect their property. And I
dare say people in this country would say, 'What happened to an Englishman's
castle?'

"The police are reflecting the law, but within that we can understand when
people decide to have a go and protect their property and families. But our
advice to them is please don't."

Let me make this perfectly clear, Brent: You are a XXXXing idiot.

Take your hate somewhere else, pal, Rebecca is a helper.

Better yet, go kill your worthless sack of shit self and get it over with.

Rebecca's idea of consumer activism is also quite clear: retreat and hide
from the responsibility of confronting evil head on.

It's the European way.

Off topic here. But I lived in England for 8 months. While it's true
that the people of most areas of Great Britain I have been to were
generally reserved and polite, the people in London where I spend most
of my time were quite rude and obnoxious. I think Sussex is kind of
like suburbia though.

Rebecca must be getting quite a chuckle out of all you folks
evaluating her based upon a UK address. I'll let her let you in on
the joke, if she feels like doing so.

I think if they read her website they can figure it out for themselves.

I haven't read it recently, unless it has changed, it has Rebecca's own
story on it, and while yes, it reveals about her "mind" (and a fine one
at that is seems), it also reveals her biography (ie. where she is from
etc.) I think that is what Glenn was referring to. In other words,
while all roads may lead to Rome, not everyone who lives there is Roman

I meant that Brent's diatribe revealed more about him than it did Rebecca.

Sheesh!

I am resident in both the US and UK.

I have lived abroad most of my adult life and have always enjoyed it
very much. I find insularity and bigotry towards other cultures rather
sad.
