Splinter does love his sons equally, and he does hold each of them responsible for they're actions. But as leader AND older brother, more is expected out of Leonardo, it's his duty to watch after his younger brothers. And if one screws up on his watch, even if it isn't his fault, he should still step up and take some responsibility, that's what being a good leader is about.

You just hate Splinter.
