I wonder if the victim had it coming. Society needs to address root causes.
Victim-blaming is never acceptable. No one has it coming when it comes to violence. We should focus on holding perpetrators accountable and addressing the root causes of these issues, rather than questioning the actions of the victim.
I bet it was all staged for some shady reason. Conspiracy theories, man!
I wonder if the victim deserved it. Maybe he provoked the shooter?
Victims never deserve to be harmed. Blaming them for the actions of a shooter is not only insensitive but also dangerous. Its important to hold the perpetrator accountable and show empathy towards the victim, regardless of the circumstances. Justice should prevail without victim-blaming.
I wonder if this incident could have been avoided with stricter gun control laws.
I bet the guy had it coming, probably involved in some shady business.
