For example: Man gets hit by a car. the circumstances are he was running down the middle of the road at night in all black and trying to jump cars. did he "deserve to get hit? No. Did he do something that made it extremely likely he was going to get hit? Yes. He deserves some blame for doing something that resulted in him being hit. We should have discussions telling people to not do what he did.
Man parks in the wrong space and pushes a guy who is yelling at the mother of his children gets shot. Did he deserve to get shot? No. Did he do something that made it likely he would be shot? No. All of the blame for shooting and killing another human being falls on the coward/tough guy with the gun.
Agreed, but we are just discussing the event in its entirety. I don't think there is any harm in that. I think everyone agrees the guy should be charged with something. I don't know if it's murder or manslaughter or what, but something serious.
