After this incident, New Delhi has been nicknamed “Rape
Capital”. As it rightfully is. A 26 year old med student boarded a bus with her
male friend, on the way home from classes. Six men on the bus then grabbed her
and forced her to the back of the bus after beating her friend for trying to
defend her. She was also beaten for struggling against her aggressors. At the
back of the bus she was gang raped, and her injuries were so brutal that she
later died in the hospital from organ failure after having to have most of her
intestines removed due to the severity of her rape. I read on one news site
that she was violated with the metal rod used to beat her and her male friend,
but have not found it on any other sites. There’s a lot of difference on the
details of what happened because of the Indian police’s attempts to keep the
victim and her friend’s name out of the public. Five of the six men have been
identified and arrested, and are being charged due to the bite marks on them
while the woman fought back. The sixth, to my understanding, is a minor. A few
articles state that the men threw her from the bus, or that the driver threw
the men from the bus. Most of the details are fuzzy, but whatever happened,
happened.
There is no penalty large enough for this crime. Death would
be a gift to these monsters. If it were up to me, I would turn them over to the
family of the girl raped and let them do what they wish with them, since
apparently rape has never really been a big deal in India, why bother giving
them a trial? Make an example of them. Tear them apart for the public to see,
and show the world that India is working to end rape. But not hard enough
obviously. I didn’t believe in the death penalty until I heard about this, and
I’m done pretending that killing people to show others that killing people is
not right. I heard on the radio the other day that every 16 seconds a woman in
India is raped. I don’t know if that’s true, but the idea sickens me. Screw
these guys. This is just disgusting. I’m freaking done.
