Examples of Victim in a Sentence

1. Jim Shimoura:

   It's almost as if an Asian life is not worth anything, had roles been reversed, we've always speculated what would have happened if the victim was White and the killer was Asian. Would that Asian person walk away out of court free ? Absolutely not.

2. Greg Glassman:

   I, CrossFit HQ, and the CrossFit community will not stand for racism, i made a mistake by the words I chose yesterday. My heart is deeply saddened by the pain it has caused. It was a mistake, not racist but a mistake. George Floyd is a hero in the black community and not just a victim. I should have been sensitive to that and wasn't. I apologize for that.

3. Eleni Linos:

   As technology becomes more sophisticated and people start to use their phones interactively for an increasing number of daily tasks, it would not be surprising if they also increasingly turned to electronic devices for help with personal, health and safety issues, the phone user needs to retain the power to choose what happens. Every domestic violence and sexual assault situation is different, and the phone won't know if the abuser suddenly re-enters the room, grabs the phone, or starts listening in. It's tempting to say that the phone should automatically dial 911, but that could lead to an increase in the number of accidental calls, limit emergency services' capacity to respond to actual urgent calls, and worst of all might tip off the perpetrator that his or her victim is trying to get help.

4. Eric Love:

   140 million Joe Exotic fans had a hard time getting out of bed this morning. We are as disappointed that [Trump] did not sign Joe’s Pardon, as we were confident [Tuesday] that he would. It is only because of you 140 million fans that Joe’s Pardon was even a possibility. Since his trial, the evidence has made it clear that Joe is not guilty but, rather, he is a victim of the persons he trusted most.

5. Jason Young:

   To be a victim of a crime in San Francisco, under this district attorney? It's a complete joke, to be where we are today and to be dismissed the way we've been dismissed by this district attorney, it just makes me sick.
