A blame mentality is a dangerous and self-defeating road to travel. It is only a matter of time before the blamer makes a mistake. Punishments are for the discouragement of others. How long before everyone is too paralysed by fear to make any movement at all?
I have recently (within the last few years) heard stories like "I won't help that person because their relatives will sue me if they die".
