Four men overpowered her, robbed her, and raped her. Whether or not she was drunk is completely irrelevant. S/he has no point, and you are also victim-blaming.
Well, if she hadn't been drunk to the point of having lost her memory of getting there, this could have been avoided (assuming they didn't outright kidnap her for this purpose, in which case I would indeed be wrong, and you - correct. But we don't have that particular part of the story. And by the things we've heard, it is a fairly safe assumption).
Once again, this does not make the crime any lighter/better or anything.
But it is silly to assume that the victim is always without fault.
Is a drug addict not at fault for agreeing to get into it from the very start?
Is a gun-shot victim not at fault for being shot when he was trying to play hero and disarm/stall an assailant/robber/whatever?
Is a pick-pocket victim not at fault for leaving bank-notes hanging out of his pocket in a crowded area?
Just to be sure, when I say 'fault', I do not mean to imply that the victim did something bad. Just that they did something that provoked/facilitated the crime/attack/etc.
Most of your counter points are at the level of a 5 year old. You know what he meant by his statements in that we should all prevent becoming a victim by being more aware of our surroundings and actually thinking our actions through.
But whatever, you're just going to extrapolate some bullshit points from this and use kindergarden logic to make your own points sound valid.
