Perhaps you should read my post a little closer instead of getting instantaneously defensive. And my comments were not limited to what was written here in this forum. There is a world that exists outside of this place and there are even officials in it, surprisingly enough.

That doesnt mean that we cant offer opinions and have a discussion about any takeaways or lessons learned on how to handle situations.
And not once did I say we shouldn't. But there is also a way to do that without alluding to victim blaming. Relax and carry on.
