Please read the article. "Victim Blaming: When We Do It and When We Don't"

By Peter Kaufman

and then answer the following questions. 1 to 2 should total between 250 and 300 words,

1) If what the author says is true about victims of mass shootings being in no way responsible for their deaths, why then are victims of other crimes blamed for the atrocious acts that happen to them? Why do we condemn victim blaming in the case of mass shootings but condone it in the case of sexual violence or vehicular homicide of cyclists? What do you think?

2) Is there something that justifies these two different explanations (condemn victim blaming in the case of mass shootings but condone it in the case of sexual violence)? Or is it our different use of victim blaming that needs explaining and justifying?
