But then you can't really blame the people that blame others, can you?

Indeed not. Can't blame nobody for nothin'.

What about the Mafia bosses? Do you see them as innocent, too?

Guilty, but not ultimately responsible. The word "innocent" does have a meaning.

Of course the word, "innocent" has a meaning, but the corollary of that is that the word, "guilty" also does. Your use of the word, "responsible" is deceptive here, because it can mean either simply "actually did it" OR "deliberately did it".
EDIT: Indeed, if you were correct, the word, "innocent" would have no meaning at all - it would be automatically true. In that case, there would be no need for the word at all.
