Geez, I'm gonna sound like someone's mother here--but two wrongs don't make a right. Just because the victim this time did the same thing last time with lesser consequences, that doesn't mean you blame the victim this time. This time someone got hurt more seriously and this time it is going to cost a lot of people a lot more money, pain, and time. The other times they were all just lucky that someone didn't get seriously hurt. This time the short straw was drawn and there are consequences. One man committed an act in which someone else was hurt--that's what makes the difference.
