Reply to comment by GeneralGom in South Korea probes Halloween crowd surge as nation mourns by chunkylover5E

I didn't, but I can guess you're being downvoted because that's another rumor that is victim blaming, like the earlier one that people were rushing to see a celebrity (also with no proof behind it). The blame is on authorities for not having put in crowd control measures beforehand, not those caught in the crowd.

That makes sense. I guess people thought my comment had a political agenda, and lacked credence(I couldn't find an English source of the news article).

I absolutely think the main fault lies on the government. But that doesn't mean there can't be other parties who may have also contributed to the tragedy, y'know.

Anyway, all I wanted to do was to provide some fresh new info as a Korean. My comment didn't have any political agenda, nor do I care it got downvoted. I was simply curious why it did.
