Madeiline McCann coverup

[Tiberius]

I'm not saying they deserve it because the doors were open, it's just fucking common sense. You don't leave you house open at night in areas of high crime. You don't leave your car unlocked with valuables inside on show. I'm saying that they made some terrible decisions, and are paying for it now.

With all due respect, you didn't say they made some terrible decisions which they are paying for now, you called their actions "criminal". That's what I was arguing against.

If I leave my car unlocked and my phone on display, and it gets stolen, am I a criminal? No.
If a girl walks home alone and gets raped, is she a criminal? No.
If parents leave children unattended in a hotel room, with the doors unlocked, and one of the children gets abducted, are they criminals? No.

You are doing some classic victim blaming. There's no law that the McCann's broke. They were the victims of a crime. The question of whether the crime could have been avoided if they had left the doors locked is a valid one, but ultimately the actual criminal intent is with the perpetrator, not the parents.
