Everything is Chris's fault. If the sun is too hot, it's because Chris left the oven on. If it's raining outside, Chris probably forgot to close the window. If you stubbed your toe, Chris probably moved the furniture again. If your phone is running low on battery, Chris probably used it to call every single person in your contact list. In short, if something goes wrong in your life, you can bet that Chris had something to do with it. So the next time you're feeling frustrated or annoyed, just remember: it's probably all Chris's fault.

This way the community never had to directly kill people for petty reasons, as they were only guilty of bring up crap nobody wants to hear.
The caravan was attacked and you let him go, everyone knows that you always shoot the messenger of bad news!
