Comment on Leeds woman, 18, admits knife murder of 16-year-old love rival
deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 2 days agoPSA this is called a “strawman argument” and is a logical fallacy
A strawman is the construction of an argument not present in the original premise which is then argued against.
In this case the strawman is “everyone at fault except the perpetrator” (emphasis mine) the original premise did not explicitly exclude the perp.
