I think nearly all of the points made in this regard did not address fault collectively. Certainly anyone actually killed or harmed by the crowd are beyond reproach as to receive their injuries they would have had to have been near the fringes of the pens, and not near the rear of the crowd where the physical pressure was being generated. In any case the vast, vast majority of the crowd are blameless, I think posters were just getting at that logically and obviously there must have been a few individuals at the rear that caused the domino effect, and unfortunately victimhood further up the chain.
To use your analogy, if the person that fell out the window harmed you, he certainly would not have been to blame, but what if he was in a queue and someone three people behind him tried to barge up the line which in turn threw him out the window? What about this person? And if barging didn't occur, what realistic chain of events caused this person to leave the room via the window?
To be completely honest this will probably be my last post as this tangent is ultimately disrespectful to the general idea of the thread, regardless of the validity of the point contained within. Trying to appropriation a realistic amount of responsibility to a faceless, tiny minority is not worth attracting blame to the vast amount of victims and detracting it from the organisational failures that day, which are by far the majority factors which led to that day's events.
