Can they both be true? Because the post we're under claims 100% of the blame goes to Society. I voiced that this was wrong, and suddenly all of you in the replies want to correct me. Give up, mate, you don't even know what you're fighting for. Cruz is responsible for Cruz's actions, if not wholly than in majority part.
What, exactly, prevents both from being true? Cruz is to blame for his actions. Society is to blame for the conditions that led to the actions. They're both true. We can punish, imprison, whatever, the person who did the crime, while still also acknowledging that there may be other things that led to the thing from happening.
Right, so we agree completely, what then are you here to try to explain? We both claim Cruz is to blame for his actions, and that any actions by society as a whole does not absolve him.
