So, what’s your proposed solution?

Yay, you solved murder, give yourself a good pat on the back.

You're saying that murderers shouldn't be blamed for murdering?

I'm saying telling people they shouldn't do something is about as useless as farting in the wind. Blaming someone does nothing, it's the force of action behind the words that mean something.

But, because this person could be anyone, anywhere your words are hollow and empty. You are impotent to stop their future actions.

Every society fundamentally relies on willful compliance. Sure, you can force a few outsiders, but once a sizeable population stops being compliant, it just breaks down.

Hence why the internet doesn't work well.

The internet is not a society. The internet is all societies. Hell, more and more it's not even human societies.
