No offense intended, but that's kind of blaming the victim on a whole other level.

I think blaming the victim is cruel in the case where the victim is powerless to defend themselves. But in the case where the victim simply failed to defend and fight for themselves I think it's important to criticize them.

In what way have the victims failed to fight for themselves? The beach access issue is kind of a thing all up and down the California coast.

My comment was specifically about the "don't blame the victim" thought-terminating-cliche. I'm not up to speed on the specifics of California coast access.
