Omid's death was not Clem's fault
I was thinking back to the aftermath of Omid's death and how strained Clem's relationship with Christa had become. Were we as player's meant to feel guilty for Clem leaving the gun by the sink? If anything we should be upset with Omid for not keeping watch.
Clem didn't even need or want to use the bathroom through fear of being vulnerable. Omid reassures her it is safe in there even tbough he doesn't check it first. Clementine is given to understand that he would be outside keeping watch. She goes to wash her face as she didn't need to pee and gets ambushed by what can only be described as a bandit. Where the fuck was Omid?
Clearly he left the toilet entrance other wise the girl wouldn't have got in there. Omid put a 9 year old girl who was still struggling to come to terms with losing Lee, at risk. If a anything Christa should have been angry with Omid for being negligent and careless. She should have felt guilty for not taking good enough care of Clem after the promise she made to Lee. She should be pampering Clementine since she is all she has left not keeping her at arms length. What dot others think about this?
I think my anger towards Omid for not keeping watch and putting Clem at risk kept me from feeling saddened by his death. Had Ben have left Clem in a room without keeping watch in "around every corner" people would have called for his head.

I think Michelle, Christa, Omid and Clem are all really to blame, Michelle the most and clem probably the second most.
At least Lee was WITH her when they went into an abandoned unknown building.
Christa, on the other hand, just let Clem walk into such an unknown abandoned building all by herself.
I do feel it was mostly Christa's fault that it happened, not Clem's. I still love her , though. In my eyes, she redeemed herself when she kept taking care of Clem despite losing her boyfriend and baby.
And what does Clem do? She leaves her things in the sink while she goes to get the bottle. Including the gun that killed Omid. It was extremely unlikely that a bandit was going to wander in in the 10 seconds she took to get the bottle, but that's what happened. If Clem had kept the gun then Omid would be alive. It's as simple as that.
I don't think Clem can be reasonably expected to believe that a person would wander into the bathroom right when she was getting her water bottle, grab her gun, and shoot Omid when he came in.
Or if he didn't leave the bathroom entrance unattended in the first place.
I'm sorry but even if he told her to keep her things with her she would have expected him to be keeping watch. He sneaked a way to be with his girlfriend. That's fucked up on so many levels. Lee would have been turning in his grave.
Clem could have died in that bathroom even if she had her gun on her if she was in the cubicle talking a piss if the girl that came in and used her own weapon. I say her own weapon because she had robbed others before meeting Clem and no one walks around in zombie apocalypse without a weapon.
The girl could have also crept up on her whilst she was at the sink or had her weapon hidden, pretending to be friendly.
That girl shouldn't even have been able to get in the bathroom in the first place. Clem shouldn't have had to protect herself from the bandit, her guardians should have had her back. It's as simple as that. That was, after all, what they promised Lee they would do.
"Why everybody screw up, so that Omid would die?"
"BECAUSE THE PLOT DEMANDS IT"
Then, despite Christa previously scolding Lee for taking Clem with him into an abandoned building, she and Omid do something even worse and send Clem into an abandoned restroom without checking it out first. She heads in alone and without even someone standing watch outside the door. And why? Apparently so they could have sex in the bathroom next door.
Utter stupidity. If anyone is to blame, it's Christa and Omid for being such negligent guardians. If you simply must have sex, do it at night when Clem is asleep and within view.
Plus, Owen Thomas (Omid VA) said that he thinks so too on a Playing Dead episode!
