Everyone who walked made their own decision.

A decision to follow the herd and a decision to take the easiest road are still decisions.

You might say that a person made a decision to break down blades of grass to create a path and that others chose to take a path already created, but they are still making choices that they are responsible for.

We don't ascribe collective guilt in the west. There is an individual who is more at fault than the others.

Oh, well then that's the person who didn't fence the area to keep everyone out.
