Scapegoading

To simultaneously glorify or laud an event (often for the purpose of taunting an impacted party) while also casting blame for the event on that party or a party affiliated with them. The blame-casting element is often based in extreme conspiracy or innuendo, as the more insultingly outrageous the accusation, the more effective the taunt.
"Steve celebrated the arson that burned down his ex's house, before cruelly musing to the victim's friends that it was most likely caused by her hair dryer, despite the fact that she was bald. Even long after they had split, he was still scapegoading at every opportunity."
