Well, they're taking the reports now instead of just telling them to go home and get in the kitchen. Heck, they're even offering some of them money to shut up! I mean haw far does a cop have to go to get some recognition?

I hope the mother fucker roasts in hell... but I wouldn't be surprised if he gets off without serving a day in prison.



Ahh tradionalist cultures...  Seriously it looks like misoginy in India is just as bas as in Muslim countries.

U.S. female sailor beats Dubai rapist bus driver into submission

An off-duty U.S. navy sailor wrestled a Dubai bus driver to the ground and beat him into submission after he tried to rape her at knifepoint on Jan. 19, a courtroom heard Wednesday.

The woman, 28, was on 24-hour shore leave in Dubai when she was attacked by a bus driver after he picked her up from the Mall of the Emirates shopping center.


"I noticed he did not take the main road and when I asked him he told me not to worry," she said, according to the Daily Mail.

He then stopped where several other buses were parked and tried to kiss her. After she refused, he pulled out a knife and tried to rape her.

Prosecutors said that she knocked the knife from his hand, broke it in two, bit him in the hand, forced him to the ground and locked him between her thighs, the Daily Mail reports.

The man, known as K S, has been charged with attempted rape, threatening to kill, assault and consuming alcohol illegally, the Daily Mail reports.

Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

Part of foreign aid should go towards training Indian women in hand-to-hand combat.

Do we have the woman's identity/picture so that we can give her a pat on the back?

Are you joking or are you seriously asking for a violent rape attempt victim's identity and picture to be published?  :hmm:
