Thousands continue protest in Spain after gang rape acquittal
UPI ^

Posted on 04/29/2018 7:03:07 AM PDT by BenLurkin

The men, dubbed the Wolf Pack, were found guilty of a lesser charge -- sexual abuse -- which protesters considered too lenient. They are accused of gang raping an 18-year-old woman in 2016 at a bull-running festival.

The sentencing also requires the men, who have been in custody since 2016, to pay the woman a total of $61,000 in compensation. One of the men, a police officer for the Spanish Civil Guard, was fined an extra $1,000 for stealing the woman's phone.

According to a police report, the gang surrounded the woman in a small alcove, took off her clothes and had unprotected sex, during which, some of the men filmed using their phones and bragged about the crime to their friends on social media.

The report said the victim maintained a "passive or neutral" attitude during the rapes, keeping her eyes closed. Defense lawyers argued the woman's apparent passivity was proof that the sex was consensual.

A Biblical capital offense as, imho, it should be.

From this link...

FOCUS: Gang rape acquittal fires up huge crowds in Spain

Under Spain's criminal code, evidence of violence or intimidation must exist for the offence of rape to be proved.

Looks like the perps were very familiar with the law. Gee, I wonder why that would be....

There is a broad agenda to destroy Western culture and Judeo-Christian values.

The idea that across Europe and the U.S. there is an obligation to ignore seriously criminal behavior, perpetrated by immigrants who have arrived illegally, can only be described as cultural suicide.

I think that five men cornering a teenaged girl sounds like “intimidation.”

Were these perps Spaniards, or some lower form of life?

“The men — José Ángel Prenda, Antonio Manuel Guerrero, Ángel Boza, Alfonso Jesús Cabezuelo and Jesús Escudero — recorded cell phone video of their encounter in July 2016 with the woman, then 18, during Pamplona’s famous San Fermín festival.”

"had unprotected sex"

Oh, my, well that does it! Off with their heads!

If they had condoms, then it would be alright!

Spaniard or otherwise, anyone who does this is a lower form of life.

Sexual coercion, at the least. Which is illegal in some US jurisdictions. But nowhere in Spain.

Tourists, especially female tourists, bloody well be advised.

Summary Execution at the nearby town square would be Justice in my opinion. I believe a public stoning was the old world answer to rape. It made it clear to all that rape would not be tootolerated.

Our elders were more civilised than us.

Even in 2018, I would think public execution would seem rational and appropriate.

Importing Jihadi and making them a political protected class IS public execution. Only in modern times it is the innocent that are the victims.

Blood runs in the streets of London.

Good people can no longer do nothing. Governments everywhere have lost the confidence of the people. In the UK, multiple metropolitan police agencies have worked to abet and cover up evidence of thousands of sex crimes including pedophilia, and justify it by claiming they are trying to prevent the public from forming “racial bias”, which is complete nonsense. They are in essence arguing that allowing the enslavement of thousands of young girls into the sex trade is good for society. This is how far the warped logic of the Left will take a country, when identity politics is allowed to flourish.
