One of the Indian men convicted of the notorious Delhi bus gang rape and murder of 2012 has prompted outrage by claiming that his victim was to blame.

In an interview from jail, Mukesh Singh said that women who went out at night had only themselves to blame if they attracted the attention of gangs of male molesters. “A girl is far more responsible for rape than a boy,” he said.

His victim, Jyoti Singh, 23, was returning from an evening at the cinema with a male friend when the six-strong gang offered them a lift in a bus they had stolen. She was raped and beaten with iron bars, prompting widespread demonstrations for Indian women to have greater protection from sexual violence.

In an interview for a BBC documentary, Singh also claimed that had Jyoti and her friend not tried to fight back, the gang would not have not have inflicted the savage beating from which she died two weeks later.

Why is he still alive to be saying these things?

[DesertRhino]

Guess he never heard of that concept “stop digging”.

[AppyPappy]

It will have some traction in that part of the world.

[WayneS]

Regrettably, I think you are correct.

In a previous televised interview, AP Singh, a lawyer, said: “If my daughter or sister engaged in pre-marital activities and disgraced herself and allowed herself to lose face and character by doing such things, I would most certainly take this sort of sister or daughter to my farmhouse, and in front of my entire family, I would put petrol on her and set her alight.”

That's the lawyer, not the perp.

It is interesting how so many things in Muslim society is considered a invitation for rape.

I think these creatures are not moslems.

[vladimir998]

That happened in a Hindu society.

So basically he is saying that he is incapable of controlling himself and therefore a constant threat to society.

Fine. Kill him and the problem is solved. At least with this one.

[rickmichaels]

No, I think he is saying that women are incapable of preventing him from controlling himself therefore they are a constant threat to themselves because of him.

[El Cid]

Alrighty then...

yikes - these people are nuts.
Taking family discipline to a whole 'nother level.

Yeah, if she had just gone ahead an enjoyed it instead of pretending she didn’t want him it wouldn’t have been rape at all.

1) Go screw yourself.

2) Most folks named "Singh" are Sikhs. Not moslems.

3) Go screw yourself.

4) Look up my posting history, you'll see my opinion of Mad Mo's deranged followers.

5) Seriously: Go screw yourself.

[Mears]

Are you nuts ??

.

[Mr. K]

no you!

[NorthMountain]

I have no idea what his problem is.

I assume that he's skunk-drunk, and has been smoking weed.

In Colorado, of course.

I would never accuse an Exalted FReeper of such long-standing membership and august personage of doing anything illegal or of being unintelligent

Still, his comment was Galactic Stupid ... so can only be explained by severe chemical impairment.
