Just another example of "Blame Shifting"

So I accidentally leave my front door to my home unlocked or my car door unlocked. Does that give everyone carte blanche to steal me blind?
I hope not.

You point out a very good point of view, and I agree 110% with your point of view. You can not be held responsible for anyone else's actions.

Damn right! If someone walks into your home and commits a crime how the hell can you be held liable? After all you did secure your home, you closed the door. So what is secure in the first place? A lock on the door, a deadbolt, a steel door, steel bars, an alarm system, CCTV, gated neighbourhood, barb wire, guards, machine guns, mine fields, tanks, an army?

How many billions of dollars does the US spend on defense each year? Are we still secure? Should we sue ourselves for letting the terrorists kill our own people?

Am I getting crazy here, or it is not just me?

It's not akin to leaving your door unlocked. It's like leaving all your possessions in a 30 yard radius outside your house, in the street, on your yard (the range of your Wifi network). While I might not be tempted to take your stuff, I probably would look at it before I left as I was in the street legally, on public property.
