What a lot people seem to be missing is this:
1) The woman who committed suicide did not break any act.
2) The woman who broke the act did so of her own accord instead of verifying as required. That is a crime -- one that is specifically supposed to be protected against by verifying who it is.
This is a tragic act of social engineering gone awry.
TGAC, I often agree with you, especially regarding anti-democratic groups receiving public funding by virtue of being "a political party".
But it is ludicrous to hold two men utterly responsible when:
1) Someone else broke the law
2) Someone managed the two men (and thus hold responsibility)
By you're restrictive definition, the men at the Deep Horizon spill are utterly responsible for the disaster, while the consistent cutting of safety inspections by the Executives that created an environment for terrific accidents to occur are completely blameless.
This is not being said or iterated over enough here.
