“I blame this all on Jesus and not from Nazareth. We could have said guy we would to trade with you but hey we are being exhorted for half of our stuff. Always wonder why that point didn’t come up when they sat around the kitchen table in Alexandria?”
It’s not Jesus’s fault that Rick decided to turn his group into a band of mercenaries and attack a group without knowing their number, strength or capabilities. Rick was arrogant and thought his group could do anything, tonight he found out he was wrong.
Actually, the current predicament is more Daryl’s fault. Had he not selfishly left the camp on his revenge mission, drawing out the others to bring him back they might not be in this predicament. He didn’t think things through at all. They would have fared a lot better fighting the Negan group from behind their walls. In fact, it looks like Negan was just waiting for them to come out.
