What if the instigator is someone who you would consider an "innocent" or someone who doesn't have the capacity to understand what they are doing? For example, a profoundly mentally ill person, who has the emotional capacity and self control of a young child but the physical strength of an adult (think Lennie from Of Mice and Men)
