Both where wrong, the dispatcher for telling the victim to return to the scene of the crime where he was assulted and the victim for listening to some bad advice.I wonder if the dispatcher would have told a attempted rape victim to return to the scene of the crime.

The fact the man returned and then discharged his weapon and if he had killed any one of the perps it could have looked to be a vigilante killing and the perp would have become the victim. Stupid is Stupid does.
