Girl Punished for ‘Allowing’ Rapes
Malaysia Star ^ | Tuesday, 8 March 2016

A 14-year-old girl in Maharashtra, India, was whipped 10 times in public for the crime of “not resisting” when her own father raped her repeatedly, Tamil dailies reported.

The man had reportedly been raping the victim repeatedly over four months but the crime only came to light when the girl became pregnant.

When the other villagers found out about the rape, the panchayat or village tribunal sentenced the man to a fine and 10 lashes in public as punishment.

In a move described as Taliban-esque by women’s rights campaigners, the tribunal blamed the girl for not resisting the rapes and sentenced her to suffer 10 lashes as well.

In videos released by activists, the pregnant rape victim is seen being whipped in front of the villagers while tied to a tree.

Following an outcry after videos of the incident were broadcast, police raided the village. They have reportedly arrested the rapist and key members of the tribunal.

How many times would she have been whipped if she had resisted thus disobeying her father?

This is what happens when you mix equal parts Stupidity + Cruelty, boil it down to it’s base form of Primal Ignorance, and add just a “pinch” of Sadism.

Most liberals believe in the lie of the “noble savage”. Nobels amongst savages is very rare, most savages are just that. Savages.....

Just Identify as a Victim ... Bitch Set Me Up! defense

I know where this happened is not here, it is coming here.

I know also that when it comes here I will not have long to be on this Earth, I also know I will not leave alone.

America Transformed is not yet complete but the BASTARD sure did enough damage to make me want to puke.

Those who really care about people will get angry about cultures that suck. Those who pretend to care will only complain about whatever is fashionable to complain about....and those people are the real bigots.
