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

507. The signs are quite obvious.

Geller never bothers to plan this event until after the Charlie Hedbo attacks, so she knows this is the type of thing that could provoke a violent response. Not only that, but she decides to hold the event in Garland, Texas, where it just so happened that there was a major Muslim-American conference that her group had protested, not to mention that there's a significant Muslim population in the area.

Do you honestly believe all of that was a coincidence?

While Geller never expressly said "I dare you to attack me", every single thing she did screamed that this was the intended result. She wouldn't have been on the news this week but-for this going down.

Geller may not have specifically wanted to personally die, but that doesn't mean she didn't want an attack on her event. She could and in fact did successfully insulate herself from the danger, while others were exposed to risk. This is manipulative, reckless, selfish and unethical behavior at its very height.

She's not a victim. She was not killed, injured, or every in any immediate danger. The fact that she's a victim because her event was attacked is bullshit. First, because I'll repeat she was not killed, injured or ever in any immediate danger. A few years ago, there was a murder-suicide in my office building. I heard the gunshots through the wall go off in the office next to mine. It was an extremely scary and unnerving event. However, as horrible as it was, I personally was not the "victim" of anything.

Secondly, because this was the exact thing she wanted. It wasn't something that she should have expected. It was how she wanted it to play out. And that's why the whole rape analogy is so insulting to actual rape victims. If you believe the rape victim comparison, and it appears you have, you are nothing but a fool.
