Pam Geller lashes out at critics: You’re saying the ‘pretty girl caused her own rape’

100. Actually, legally speaking, there's no actual victim of an attempted (read: failed) crime.

Now, for clarification purposes, if someone successfully shoots someone but does not kill them, that person is a victim of an assault, which is also a crime. And there may be a target of an attempted murder, but if the murder is not successful, that person is not the victim of an attempted murder, because there was no murder of which to speak. Only the attempt.

Of course, there's no evidence to suggest that the two gunmen specifically sought out Geller. I still don't even know if she was even at the event at the time of the shooting. We know she was not shot nor was she shot at. We also know that it does not appear she has suffered in any way. The only result appears to be that she has gained more attention for herself and a bully pulpit to spew her views.

So, no, she's not the victim here.
