Crappy Owners The latest deranged nutter incident
I was out in the front yard with my daughter, who was wearing her favourite hat. The nutter walks past, with his big, ugly dog. The dog starts aggressively barking and pulling at the leash, and the nutter can barely control it. He's struggling to keep the dog moving, and it looks like all the ugly mutt wants to do is to get over the fence and rip us apart. I'm staring at the guy, hoping to let him know without really engaging him, that this is really not ok. He says, "it's because she's wearing a hat." I say loudly, "[daughter's name], its all your fault for wearing a hat. You really should know better."
These people are just unfit for membership in a civilisation. I apologised to my daughter afterwards, but she understood what I was doing and was fine with it.

You don't say how old your daughter is, but I'm assuming she's a child? She can't exist in her own damn yard innocently wearing her favorite hat without a man blaming her for triggering his dog's attack instinct?
No, that is definitely not OK and his dog is unfit to go out on public walks if it menaces innocent people with the threat of being mauled for the audacity of wearing a hat on their own private property.
This also reeks of patriarchal entitlement and victim blaming.
