Technically, Lincoln's death was Pike's fault, but you have to think about who it was that gave Pike the opportunity to be in that position of power. Bellamy allowed Pike to use weapons to slaughter the grounder soldiers. While this plan was not initially successful, it allowed Pike to make a speech that turned the election in his favor, and the next day he becomes chancellor.

And if you want to look even further into it, this whole thing is Kane's fault because it was his decision to have an election in the first place when he could have just accepted the position from Abby right off the bat. I believe he even mentions that it's all his fault at one point.

So yeah there's a lot of blame that can be passed around. I'm just glad that at least Octavia is able to keep her eye on the objective of finding Luna instead of being stricken with grief like Jasper.
