Is something people say over and over to try NOT to accept bad things happen a lot to innocent people. It's not always in bad faith and I am not saying it is for you (though it increasingly IS online especially), since we are generally taught as long as we are "good" that it will all be ok and that authority are the good guys. But real life proves that not to be the case much of the time and this disconnect is hard for people to accept so they say things like the above...blame victims...call it fake news etc.
Sometimes the story is completely right, but a lot of times they're omitting key details that make it much more sensible.
Did this across a European border by accident. Took us 10 minutes to notice the different style of road furniture.
