[quote]A 70-year-old Catholic nun was gang raped by a group of robbers in the Indian state of West Bengal, officials said Saturday. Officials from a local convent school said the attackers broke in after midnight and three or four of them raped the woman after gagging her, reported CNN sister network CNN-IBN. West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee ordered a criminal investigation into the incident in Gangnapur in Nadia district, CNN-IBN said. "It is a very, very shameful act, first of all, to rape any woman, any female," Father Dominic Emmanuel of the Delhi Catholic Archdiocese said in televised comments. "But this one becomes even worse because, first of all, she is an old lady and then on top of it, she is a nun. She is a religious [and] has consecrated her life to God and all her life she has remained a virgin."[/quote] [url]http://www.cnn.com/2015/03/14/asia/nun-raped-in-india/index.html[/url]
what the fuck
India, what the fuck? A guy was just kidnapped from prison and murdered for rape and people still do stuff like this?
Good lord, India seems to be a battleground between actual SJWs and rapists. Tumblr ain't got nothing on this. [highlight](User was banned for this post ("dumb/irrelevant post" - dai))[/highlight]

I hope people realize that the frequency of threads posted in SH isn't the best indication of the worst countries for rape offenses. There are around 100,000 [I]reported [/I]cases per year in the US alone. It [I]is [/I]common in India, but why demonize them in particular when it happens all over the world?

[QUOTE=Pelican;47326257]LOL what? sweden has the most? that is...... very surprising[/QUOTE] iirc that's because Sweden has a broader definition of rape. might be wrong on that though
[QUOTE=Araknid;47326271]iirc that's because Sweden has a broader definition of rape. might be wrong on that though[/QUOTE] now that - if true, does NOT surprise me
This shit needs to stop.

[QUOTE=PatrickT;47326292]*cough* immigrants *cough*[/QUOTE] Isn't it true that immigrants are biggest cause of rape? (in %).
[QUOTE=Araknid;47326271]iirc that's because Sweden has a broader definition of rape. might be wrong on that though[/QUOTE] Which explains why Julian Assange really does not want to go back there and be convicted of rape, when the definition is much more broader than what everyone else is accustomed to.
[QUOTE=Pelican;47326257]LOL what? sweden has the most? that is...... very surprising[/QUOTE] That's probably because Swedes are less afraid of going to the police to report rape
We'll be having nun of that

[thumb]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c6/Rape_rate_per_100%2C000_-_country_comparison_-_United_Nations_2012.png[/thumb][/QUOTE] It IS a case of underreporting. Some countries don't even consider many forms of rape to be criminal. Take marital rape for example - it wasn't even that long ago where it was considered that marriage meant implied consent [i]in the US[/i]. You could reasonably argue that a place like Sweden has such a high reported rape statistic is BECAUSE it has good equality laws, and people aren't afraid to report rape there. You could also reasonably infer the opposite from certain countries, like Saudi Arabia - its reported rapes per 100k is 2.19, and part of the reason for that is because both the victim and the rapist get punished for the same crime. That being said, what the fuck? Who rapes a nun, who is 70, and [i]with friends[/i]?

God had a plan for her at least.
Poor woman. Imagine sticking to your belief for 70 years and saving your virginity only to have that accomplishment ripped away from you by some fucktards. They'll get what they deserve.

[thumb]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c6/Rape_rate_per_100%2C000_-_country_comparison_-_United_Nations_2012.png[/thumb][/QUOTE] Indian police and courts have a generally poor reputation for dealing with reported rapes, combined with parts of the country having horrifying cultural attitudes to rape. I would therefore expect that as many cases as we see reported in India, they are only the tip of the iceberg.
The fact that rape carries a death sentence in India should be an indication that the government is starting to get pretty tough on cases like this. These guys are all probably going to hang, not least since there's hard evidence - they were caught on tape. In a country that is the seventh largest in the world and still houses a whole sixth of the world's population, stuff like this is going to happen because there'll always be a few psychos. Ferrus had a point - Rape cases in India *are* overreprresented in Western media, because it's more interesting and a more satisfying circlejerk than focusing on horrific rape cases at home.

With those two factors in play, of course somewhere like Sweden or the US could be really high.

Absolutely fucking sickening I seriously hope the scumbags get brought to justice
[QUOTE=NotMeh;47327217]Absolutely fucking sickening I seriously hope the scumbags get brought to justice[/QUOTE] They won't, at least not with an honest trial. They'll be caught sure but there's a good chance that they will be lynch mobbed before trial.
Jesus fucking christ who even thinks of doing that
[QUOTE=Roshbitnak;47326421] That being said, what the fuck? Who rapes a nun, who is 70, and [i]with friends[/i]?[/QUOTE] The "with friends" part is what bothers me. I understand when it's one crazy person, but who tells a group of friends "Let's go rape a 70 year old nun," and all of them go "Great idea! I was wondering what to do on this fine Saturday afternoon!"

Once they were done, they decamped with cash and electronic goods such as laptops. As for why they thought it was a good idea, I'm just as mystified as you.
