The thing is, it's entirely possible to say that the criminals are entirely responsible for their own reprehensible actions while still accurately pointing out that the victim was an idiot.

It's not an either-or situation where one side is clearly 100% right and the other is 100% wrong. It is more than possible for everyone involved to be 100% wrong and deserving of scorn.

This is absolutely correct and I know exactly what you mean.

Like the stories about the bully who harasses somebody for years until they snap and almost kill the guy. On one hand, the bully was wrong and maybe even deserved it, but still shouldn't have to be faced with the potential to lose their life and thus the opportunity to ever become a better person. On the other hand, we understand the victim completely and we may have even done the same, but it still isn't right to resort to violence and let yourself stoop as low as those who hurt you.

This is a perfect example of how life isn't ever really black and white. Especially when it comes to things like crimes of passion and mental health, things get very gray. It's easy to say something is wrong without ever having been in the situation yourself. You may think you know how you'll react to certain things but you actually never really know until it happens.

However, there are cases where it's clear that, even though neither party is entirely guilt-free -- one has gone too far.
This is just such a case and the problem that people are having is that you don't seem to recognize that.
