A company is not a person, and cannot be a victim of an incident like this. Especially when corporate policies directly incited the attack.


"Especially when corporate policies directly incited the attack."

Wow. This woman was clearly unwell, and while these policies may have triggered her, they can't be reasonably said to have incited the attack, as "incite" means that it's actually encouraging violence, not merely that it caused someone to go nuts.

Seriously, y'all need Jesus. Put the blame for these hospitalized gunshot victims where it belongs, on the armed maniac who shot them.


For the relatively uninvolved individuals who were shot, yes, the blame is on the angry woman who shot them. For YouTube as an organization - not an individual - whose corporate base was the target of a violent act? I do blame the overall policies and actions.
