WHY CAN'T WE FIX THE FUCKING WORLD?

Perhaps we could flog it.

We could, if we had sufficiently powerful thermonuclear devices to hand.

The raped the hell out of everyone
It was a rape-a-palooza.

But it's HER FAULT for being in a car with HER MALE FRIEND!

What a bitch, I'm glad they banned her lawyer from the courtroom.

RAPE AND FLOGGING?!
HASN'T SHE BEEN PUNISHED ENOUGH?

WHY DON'T WE JUST CUT HER HEAD OFF? THAT COULD BE MORE HUMANE!!

It's a fucking insane law
but it does punish the man and woman equally, so it's not exactly specifically treating women badly. It's just absolutely bonkers.

Until she appealed.
Then she got another 110 lashes and 6 months in prison. Assuming that after her brutal 7 man gangrape she survives the 110 lashes.

It's because of the appeal
not because she's a woman. The Saudis are pretty universal cunts regardless of sex.

I s'pose.
I wouldn't want to be a bummer in Saudi Arabia tho.

Being hung for indecency just isn't my bag.

And just to top it off, they did the lawyer too !

Yes
I think it would be fair to point out that the bloke in the car is going to be lashed and was also raped and Her Clintanic majesty doesn't seem to care about that. sexist bitch.

(please note - this whole story is fucking horrible and I'm not suggesting otherwise. just ... y'know)

"The Bush administration has refused to condemn the sentence and said it will not protest against an internal Saudi decision," she said
Oh for CHRISTS sake...... how the hell do people like him get voted in?

Well, what's going to happen?
He can't do anything about it, it's their law.
( Lisette von Falcon, Wed 28 Nov 2007, 16:13, archived)

He can condemn it. You know, say "Flogging someone for getting raped is bad".
Well, I assume he can. There are no particularly difficult words there.
