Seeking to attach blame for a misdeed is an entirely natural human response to a misdeed.
I'm all for rational preparation, but attaching a pejorative label like "victim thinker" to someone simply because they want to attach blame for a crime is not only based on an unrealistic grasp of himan psychology, it's also pretty heartless, I think.
A person can both stay prepared, and seek to place blame. Speaking rationally, asserting otherwise is a false dichotomy.
