R' MB:
So, Rashi blames the leaders of society for someone being forced into a life
of crime and getting himself killed. It's a hard Rashi for a Republican to
swallow, no? To force society to share blame with the criminal?

Chazal were clearly liberal on social justice issues; see Tamchui, Kuppah,
stress on Chessed.
