Swaziland is a weird place

http://www.iol.co.za/index.php?newsl...52432&set_id=1

Bus conductors in Swaziland have vowed to assault and rape female passengers who wear mini-skirts, sparking outrage among women's groups in the conservative African kingdom.

The threat followed this week's arrest of two conductors and a bus driver who were charged with indecently assaulting an 18-year-old high school pupil.

The pupil was attacked at a bus rank in Manzini, Swaziland's commercial centre, by a group of men who shouted at her for wearing a miniskirt, cut it off and then gangraped her, witnesses told local media.

About 1 000 women marched on the bus rank on Thursday to protest against the attack. They were met by bus crews carrying signs reading: "We'll get them with our brushes" - a reference to the reported use of a brush handle in the rape.

A bus conductor calling himself only Licandza said: "Women who wear miniskirts want to be raped, and we will give them what they want..."

I am going to wear a miniskirt on a bus in Swaziland. Then when they come at me all penis happy, I will fight them off with a penis of my own. They will then elect me president and I will get all the women.

These fuckers should all be shot or raped with a broom themselves. Or both I suppose.

Eh.... that's a bit of a kneejerk reaction that would only escalate the problem. There's probably some sort of cultural factor that's causing this... which is what really needs to be addressed rather than the Rambo Retaliation approach.

Kneejerk? Most assuredly. Maybe not all of them, but the pricks who have already committed rape deserve no better. Since Swaziland is a monarchy, it would be awfully tough to change the culture of the place I would guess.

You're right. I think we should get back to the ship and nuke them from space. It's the only way to be sure.

On a more serious note, I find this kind of thing unfathomable.
