Blaming the Victim
Mulla's donkey was stolen from his barn in the middle of the night. The next day, all his neighbors came over to lecture him.

"How could you sleep through a robbery?" a third added.
Furious, Mulla finally snapped, "So I get all the blame, and the thief is just an innocent victim of my negligence?!"
