Man Tracks Down His Stolen Truck, Kills Alleged Thief In Gunfight Outside Mall

[DontBelieveEastisEas]

37. I thought that blame is so obvious that it goes without saying.

I blame the thief for being a thief and, far more, for having and pulling out and using the deadly weapon.

I also blame the thief for putting the passenger in harms way more than, I'll bet, she was expecting to be. She may even be innocent, as far as I know at this time.

I also blame the thief for putting the public, no doubt, in harms way.

I blame the thief for harming the poor guy just trying to stand up to a thief, or 2, and get his truck back.


Now, if the woman is innocent, and you lost your mother, or daughter, or friend, you would wish the truck's owner would have handled it differently. You would, I think, find some blame in his actions.

Of course the first level of blame would be how you felt about the thief.

There can be multiple layers of blame. Perhaps, you will find this criminal had a history that should have caused him to have treatment or to have a longer prison time, etc etc etc.

Perhaps it's a Kia with an easy to steal ignition that led to an outcome like this being more likely.

The first level is too obvious and it was, I feel, shallow of you to accuse me of not being able to blame the thief for his part.
