Talk:Alex Shepherd (Innocent)/@comment-4024158-20120807092006

Alex never actually bullied Joshua, they were friends. If you're talking about the big revelation on the Lake that wasn't bullying.

Joshua: "What are we doing here, Alex? Dad'll freak if he finds out."

Alex: "Dad thinks you're a little baby who can't do anything on his own"

And as for Alex stealing the ring and calling it a piece of crap? It's just teasing. Again, because of their parents. So you can't say that Alex bullied him.
 * From what I understood here is that after Josh mentions that their Dad will get mad at them for being at the lake Alex felt a little angry at him for even mentioning it. About Josh being the pampered child and him being left out. He's not directly mad at Joshua, he's mad at their parents

Plus, the difference between James and Alex is that James directly killed Mary and was completely responsible to it. As for Alex, it was just an accident but he was still responsible for it. If he hadn't took the ring out of jealousy and resentment over his parents and teased Joshua, he wouldn't fall off and break his neck.

So yeah... Alex is responsible for Joshua's death.
