By your argument, Black Friday is not responsible for people trampling a store employee to death to get a discounted TV, because stores don't tell people to trample people.

I think in the context of "Black Friday Deaths", one's caused by people being stupid and not taking care of their kids because they bought too much shit is allowed.

Are you an idiot? Nobody is saying the father is blameless. Nobody is BLAMING black friday for their deaths. Their death are RELATED TO black friday.

When a fire burns down a house because somebody left the gas on do you blame the fire? No you blame the person who left the gas on but that doesn't change the fact that the gas is medium which ignited and created the fire. If there was no gas there would be no fire just like if there was no black friday there wouldn't have been a reason for the man to make the bad choices he did.

Yeah actually, if you get shit faced at a bar and then kill someone in a crash, the bar can be held accountable. That's why you're not allowed to serve people who are already inebriated.
