If you follow your own thought process to it's logical conclusion then you *could* say that the fans were also partly to blame for attending the show in the first place.


The things you said were good points except for this one. My thought process does not include the innocent unknowing fans of the stupidity and disregard for their lives that was going on behind their backs.

They were just going to a rock show to have a good time. They didn't know the details about the gaseline filled ceiling tiles and the locked doors and the fire balls shot from 10 feet off the ground into the ceiling. They didn't know all that was going to happen.
