Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I blame the robbers for robbing my house and the police for not doing their jobs. I don't blame the police for robbing my house.
Yeah that's the point
That's not how you phrased it, though.
If that was the point, then simply adding "as well" or "too" at the end makes that clear. Without it, it frames it as if the blame is being shifted instead.
I think most people reading it understood that was their point though.
Maybe. Maybe not. Because it's not explicit, then you're expecting people to fill in the blank. I'd say there's more of an argument that most people did not make that assumption.
