No, I blame those who bear ultimate responsibility for their own terrible plight, for not stepping up when it would have made an easier difference. I don't absolve anyone of anything. Too many dead people for that.
But you are taking up the mantle of "we're victims---we're not responsible," which is the least honest take I've seen this week. Every drunken driver who is killed in a car crash is at least a victim---of his own folly. Unlike some people here, I don't celebrate the doom of the foolish, but I do lament it.
