McGrath said: A driver who blames a slow driver for making them do something crazy, such as overtaking in a dangerous way, is a bit like a rapist who says it's all the fault of the way the girl was dressed.

Or the case in Maine I read about where a deer hunter blew away a housewife who was outside her house hanging up laundry, and the hunter was acquitted of manslaughter on the basis that the victim was wearing white gloves, and so brought it on herself because everyone knows that deer hunters will shoot at any flash of white, and if you wear white outside in deer season, it's your own fault if you get shot...

I swear I am not making this up. At least, that's the way I read it.
