Indeed, I'm finding the apologism for the legal bullying rather offensive
actually - when that teenager killed herself due to 'cyberbullying' (bleh..
they need a better term for that), nobody sat around saying 'well she had a
long history of depression, it would probably have happened anyway' - no,
they went after the person who'd victimized her, in court(*). If I go and
kick someone around a bit and hospitalize them, is their lack of combat
training and weak physique the reason they are in such a bad situation? Our
entire lives are a series of 'just circumstance'; getting out of bed and
going to work is 'multifactorial' - you can't explain things off that way.

(* - In fact that cyberbullying case changed the law, yet again to make
overly broad cases like this even more easy to carry out)
