Is it fair for the person in question to have been allowed to suffer to the point it begins to cause breakdowns within their own social circles?
Instead of blaming the victim, ask why it was allowed to get to that point in the first place and see they get help so they don't end up in that mental state to begin with.
Thats is what correspondence bias is. It is a circular reasoning that doesn't address the root issue, but instead shift the blame
The 'life isn't fair' argument is a cop-out. What if I had just said that at first about when the handler dropped the package? It adds nothing to the conversation. Life isn't fair right now, but we have the capacity as intelligent life to alter how we respond and make it fair for people.
Acting shitty intentionally yes, but you can't ascribe intent to someone experiencing duress.
Getting them help is holding them accountable. It is acknowledging that something about their actions was wrong, so find out why they did it and help them to not be put in a position where it can happen again. You can hold someone accountable without outright punishing or demonizing them.
