wrong...they newsies sometimes use the term "sexual assault" instead of saying rape or sodomy out of respect for the victims

Sexual assault
Definition

"Sexual assault takes many forms including attacks such as rape or attempted rape, as well as any unwanted sexual contact or threats. Usually a sexual assault occurs when someone touches any part of another person's body in a sexual way, even through clothes, without that person's consent. Some types of sexual acts which fall under the category of sexual assault include forced sexual intercourse (rape), sodomy (oral or anal sexual acts), child molestation, incest, fondling and attempted rape. Sexual assault in any form is often a devastating crime. Assailants can be strangers, acquaintances, friends, or family members. Assailants commit sexual assault by way of violence, threats, coercion, manipulation, pressure or tricks. Whatever the circumstances, no one asks or deserves to be sexually assaulted."



Use some common sense..a pack of woman who show up with 20 soldiers arent trying to save a woman from getting her ass pinched by a group of unruly protestors...either way enduring a "brutal and sustained sexual assault and beating" as CBS news put it doesnt sound to appealing to me :2 cents:

Yeah she wasn't physically raped. Still fucked up no matter what they did to her.

um, no it doesn't. rape is a type of sexual assault. murder is not a type of assault and battery.

Murder certainly is a type of assault.

Assault = "a crime of violence against another person"

Murder fits into that definition of assault.


Anyway it doesn't matter anymore, the news article clearly states that the reporter was not raped.

I think I agree. What happened is horrible, but that's what you get. I don't want to say "this is what you get when you deal with these people", but if you put yourself into a situation like this you can't control it. Your talking about people rioting against their government in the hundreds of thousands, police control nonexistent, and pretty much a complete breakdown of society. Male or female, that's just not a situation I would be putting myself into.

Even more so when these countries have little to no concern over the treatment of the press.

Fuck waiting for facts, lets just act like a bunch of savage monkeys and over react
every time we hear bad news.

The OP is acting like a savage monkey himself.

wrong. murder is never classified as assault and battery. never.

one article quotes one unidentified source claiming she wasn't. that is hardly case closed.

i suspect the public will never know what all happened to her and that is for the best.

I know that!

That's why I am saying it is ridiculous to classify rape as a sexual assault. Even though rape fits into the definition of sexual assault, it is never classified as such because rape is more serious crime!

Similarly, murder is never classified as merely an assault. Even though murder fits into the definition of assault, it is never classified as such because it is a more serious crime as well!

I'm not bothering to click the link.

Because it's most likely some insipid, juvenile minded, racist shit that you jack off to.

:1orglaugh

+1. What the fuck was a woman reporter doing in the middle of an all-male riot?

wow... another idiotic OP ....

Many newspaper/tv people were beatin up... a Radio Canada Camera man was nearly killed only to be saved in extremist by the army ..

Thank god that US troops don't rape journalists ..... ( only kill them .. ) .

Rape actually has to be REPORTED to the authorities to be in a statistic... :2 cents:

maybe she didn't cover her ankles and it was too much for them. wrong signals and all.

Unfortunately Egypt does not hold a monopoly on this kind of thing.

if womens rights gave a FUCK there'd be no well... I dont even wanna say it.


womens rights bullshit people, fuck you.

sad thing indeed ...

A group of 200 people - that quite a lot of people.

so even if she's NOT dressed slutty it's her fault, right?
or SOME woman somewhere's fault at least.

i bet a LOT of the dudes in that crowd had exactly the same thought.

drink gas dude.

on the topic of security for our civilians overseas: why in the FUCK do they not have a couple blackwater goons on every fucking reporter over there?

for real?! if this is not EXACTLY the sort of thing those dudes are around for, i dont know what is.

I have no idea of what you are pointing out.

Spill it.

I miss Mexico :(

That's insane, I love 60 minutes and Lara Logan - next episode is going to be nuts.

Yep. totally 100% agree

On the day after the Mardi Gras riots, Seattle experienced the 6.8 Mw earthquake, the worst in 37 years

wtf. i never heard about this

very useful thread

thanks for letting us all know what a uneducated redneck you are :thumbsup

That area of the world is full of barbarians. They are at least 2000 more years away from being able to have any real chance at democracy.

With that said, when you go to places like that ESPECIALLY during a time of conflict, you had better be ready for the worst to happen to you, because it may.

60 Minutes will probably still do a nostalgic piece about the noble freedom fighters.

Bloody crazy to go over there in that frenzy.reporters sure are brave to face that and they know what they are up against

Sure he wasn't a journalist? You know what they would do for a good story.

so she was basically kicked out of the country once for allegedly being an Israeli spy, then returned to cover the festivities and was then again attached, this time by the celebrating mob.
does she have really bad luck or what?

btw, it is very common practice in Egypt (pigs) that men sexually assault the women, happens even on public buses. i think they are talking heavy grouping type assault.
apparently it is a huge problem for the women of Egypt and was one of the reasons women showed up in such force at the protests.

Neg raped ...

When are people going to learn, you can't trust brown people.

Being consumed by the onslaught of the crowd. Read about this in the WSJ.

Looks like it happened previously

Why not? If the shit hurts, I'm gonna scream. I'm not gonna think "well since I shouldn't be in here in the first place I'm just going to quietly get my arms chewed off" :2 cents:

crazy motherfuckers.

In the law assault is usually defined as verbal and battery is defined as being physical contact.

he's pointing out 2 things
1- that he's a misogynist
2- that he lacks the balls to stand behind it.

Whilst it would be horrible for anybody to be raped or even assaulted, it is a slightly strange reaction to want to destroy a country full of people that just fought back against the same people that would have been responsible for the attack. Not to mention the gut reaction that it doesn't sit right to be concerned about a western woman/reporter being attacked and not the attacks that are carried out on the actual citizens that don't have the choice to leave.

They're subhuman scumbags. Step back on evolutionary scale

Next time she needs to wave her press credentials a little faster. We all know that's as good as a get out of jail free card in monopoly

She is one brave reporter and deserves respect.

That's what the Nazis said about the Jews....

The irony.

i dont think its a secret they want one religion, one race type of state (Israel) too.
