15 white boys gang-rape 3 asian girls in Essex Story hidden

Jack | 27.03.2002 20:52

Hidden because of guidelines relating to racism.

Sorry, got the races mixed up there!

But, can you imagine what the press reaction would be if 3 Asian girls were raped by 15 whites!

This is a brutal attack gang rape - yet another in long list of attacks on white girls by non-white gangs. Almost every gang rape case I have seen in recent years has involved non-whites raping white women. This isn't hot air, this is the unpalattable truth we have to face.

Why is this?

Is racism and racial resentment playing apart?

Was this gang rape a race attack? It would be considered so if the races were reversed (rather unfairly perhaps)

Does it matter?

15 men raped children here, it's horrifying.

Three girls raped by teen gang at seaside
By Stewart Tendler, Crime Correspondent
 http://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/0,,2-248129,00.html

THREE schoolgirls were each raped after being surrounded by a gang of 15 youths on the seafront at Southend, police said yesterday.

The girls, aged 14 and 15, were followed along the seafront by the gang which included one boy thought to be aged as young as 11. The girls tried to shake off the gang, but were waylaid and hustled behind a beach kiosk where they were held while some of the older boys raped them.

The attacks took place on Friday evening. None of the three needed hospital treatment, but they were so shocked that it took police several days of careful questioning to piece together their stories.

Their attackers are said to be aged up to 17 and the victims say one was black and the others were apparently Asian.

Some wires crossed, I mean 3 children were raped by a gang, not men, as they were teens, but it's equally horifying.

Are you not missing the fact that first and foremost, as is usual in rape cases, this is an act of viciously violent sexism? Whatever else this bunch of fuckwits thought they were doing, they were men violently forcing themselves on women. Unfortunately, this sort of thing goes on within and between all races and age groups and represents mainstream society's continuing inability to develop mature, non-exploitative relationships. Something had taught that gang of idiots that violence against women is okay, is an expression of masculinity, is cool. Gangsta rap would be the obvious culprit, but there's more to it than that. It's a social disease, of which those three poor girls are the latest victims. Let's just hope they can pull through it and put their lives back together. Remember - you're better than them.
