You are simplifying and personalising it far too much whilst making a whole lot of assumptions there Sheriff.
As you brought MY son into this in a earlier post, I will use him as an example.
If he started taking drugs and then became an addict I would be devastated. I would blame myself and him first. I wouldn't blame the dealer for getting him addicted, that's on him for trying it and me for dropping the ball as a parent. I would despise the dealers for supplying him but I wouldn't blame them per se. Take out 1 dealer and there are a million others waiting to take their place. Addicts get proper treatment and get clean....there is no need for the dealer then.
I feel for Liams family....he wasn't a bad person. He went down a bad road which there for the grace of God I personally could have fell down when I was a lot younger. But the simple fact is his initial actions led to this.
If a smack head goes out and robs a house to feed their addiction, it's them who committed the crime.
