That you even have to ask that question confirms that you did not understand what I was saying.
There are plenty of things that can be done to prevent such horrific crimes from occurring. In each and every case, there are a number of factors for which the mitigation of even one could have prevented the event from happening. It’s the old
Swiss Cheese Model. Identifying the factors and implementing effective solutions is only made more challenging when people collapse into emotional heaps and cry victim blaming.
She even said herself in the screenshots that you are so eager to dismiss that her actions stemmed from daddy issues. Poor parenting -> development of personality disorder -> drug abuse -> emotionally abusive behaviour and extortion of the wrong person who potentially has his own personality disorder -> murder. These things plot directly one after another. Her contributory actions do not absolve the murderer of his own. Are you familiar with the term “
contributory negligence” and how it is used in the insurance industry? Would you call that victim blaming?
I wonder, if a wife had killed a physically abusive husband in the same manner, would you be crying victim blaming when it was pointed out that his actions directly preceded the wife’s? Stop treating these things as black and white issues. They rarely are. Emotionally shutting down and refusing to even consider her actions prevents you from identifying and addressing the root causes. It guarantees we learn nothing from the incident and ensures it will happen again in an otherwise preventable scenario.
