No excuse, the kids should have been smarter and the photographer should have done the same.  Things were already rowdy with the kids, that's one shot I would have skipped. 
Very nice to meet you!

Just watched again and what was that photographer thinking getting that close?  The kids were already tossing in people.  I would have kept a safer distance from the fountain.

And rape victims shouldn't have worn such provocative clothing.

Blaming the victim is never the answer.

I don't think blaming the victim is never the 100% answer, but it does play a role.  Common sense is always part of the equation.   80/20 rule.  Your example - If a woman is wearing provocative clothing and is in a bad part of town, poor judgment/common sense put her in that situation.  Is getting raped her fault?  Absolutely not, but better judgment (20% of fault) would have made this situation avoidable.  With this photographer, same rule applies, not his fault, but a little more common sense could have prevented this from happening.

Yeh a little more common sense from the people who pushed him in.  He should be able to do his job unmolested. 

If it's not their fault, then they aren't to blame.  Nuff said. 

BTW your 80/20 rule is extremely insulting to rape victims.  Suggesting it's even partly their fault is plain wrong.  Plus you contradicted yourself by saying it's not their fault, but it's 20% their fault.  It's 100% NOT their fault.  Don't make rapists out to be victims who couldn't help themselves because the temptation was too strong.
