    That’s not a bad philosophy when all you care about is the moral victory.

I blame the adults who sat around and assumed they could allow the baby to wander that close to the water’s edge without anything happening, all the while filling its’ head with pro-crocodile propaganda. Individual humans are intelligent beings with agency, groups of humans are stupid and vulnerable to manipulation. Time to get your gun and go gator huntin’.
