Reply #96: I respectfully disagree Nadine, in retrospect your reasoning excuses the guilty

[AuntPatsy]

which allows that the innocent take the blame, in a court of law I have failed to see an adult using the excuse of perhaps a parent or friend buying them a gun or knife which led to the supposed accidental death of another and by doing so avoid having to face justice for their own actions with said weapon,

and again with your reasoning that we the average citizen must take blame for the actions of our fellow citizens then that in itself leaves every single person on this planet guilty of any and all deeds that their reigning government leaders and or fellow citizens engage in that results in crimes being committed..

Can you at least allow that with your reasoning the guilty would never find themselves facing accountability for their own personal actions whether it be with the use of a words, a sword, a pen or other such object that having used any of those scenarios resulted in another's demise?

I love reading your input but in this case I just don't' believe your op makes much sense, whether you realize it or not, with your thinking the reporters , the children and the other adults at the scene themselves become not only victims but with your reasoning they become the guilty as well,

after all, there are no government leaders and or countries in this day and age not guilty of some form of human abuse that has resulted in humans being either slain, falsely imprisoned, stripped of the simple means needed to live in today's world etc...

I hope you take a second to rethink your original op and make the appropriate changes. It is past time that the truly guilty be allowed to continue using "fall guys" in order to avoid having to face justice themselves for their own personal actions.

personal liability - do these simple two words have any other meaning that I am unaware of?
