Totally agree, but the issue is there are individuals out there with no moral compass, who disobey the law or feel they won't get caught.
We can't protect ourselves from everything, but we all take precautions. When you're walking alone at night, do you walk down the dark alley, or choose to walk in areas that are illuminated and populated. I wish we could say we can walk anywhere we want without concern, but that's just not reality.
To be clear, I'm 100% in agreement that the five players are at fault and should be held accountable but I'm also a realist, and when my daughters are older my wife and I will have to explain that not everyone has a moral compass. I wish it was something we didn't have to do.
