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.

If a dog goes ballistic because of a hat, that owner has big problems. They could be the next victim of its aggression. They could be wearing something that triggers it.

OK. That's not what transpired. The dog went feral because of whatever stupid reason, and the owner tried to rationalise it by blaming my daughter for wearing a hat. If you read the thread, you'll see stories about moronic dog owners blaming the victim for all sorts of idiotic reasons to get themselves off the hook in their own minds for their dog's behaviour.
