Stretching for Blame

Sorry, HRC is not responsible for this devastating news about 85 people, including children, washing up on the shore in Libya. She's to blame for the actions of those she has never met? She forced them to try to swim the sea? There is a desperate need for a proofreader on this site because of the text in bold/italic:

The Middle East in particular has seen a lot of innocent lives lost as many are killed in the violence there or die trying to flee it. Today, it’s being reported that another 85 bodies have washed ashore  in Libya, having no attempted to cross the Mediterranean and get to Europe.

After reading that, I ask, "What does "having no attempted to cross" mean?" Besides, there are other things to be in a snit about, such as a comedian telling a joke. Yes. Seriously, read about the "awful" event* here. In the comments section of that article, I saw this, which made me laugh:
