Observation

Was watching the news today about the woman who was raped and mudered in Thailand and whose attackers have been caught and tried and are now facing the death penalty. The judge said "The woman would never have been able to identify you, you could have run away after the rape, but you chose to drown her. This shows that you are cruel." Wasn't the bit where they raped her pretty cruel too? Its yet another part of the world where yet another judicial system is propagating the message that rape isn't a real crime...
