honestly.... you probably shouldn't leave rakes on the ground where people can step on them. you may not be culpable of murder for it, but it's still a shitty thing to do.
if you leave a rake on the ground and someone steps on it and trips and dies would you be guilty of murder? no it's a freak accident that you couldn't have possibly predicted. the difference is when you can see it happening and don't pick the rake back up after it happens 3 times. what we're talking about here aren't freak accidents where someone dies once. were talking about systemic problems that are easily identified and proven but aren't fixed because it's more profitable not to. that's where you become culpable.
so i guess you become a murderer after you refuse to pick up the rake that has killed 1000 people because of where you intentionally left it. especially when you're the only one that is allowed to pick up the rake.
What if you leave the rake there for five years intentionally to rust it up and then invite your enemies over for barefoot tag?
