This is why handguns should be legalized....
....but only for women.
They have banned women from wearing revealing clothes on buses after three men were arrested for allegedly gang-raping an 18-year-old schoolgirl at a bus station in the town of Manzini.
Witnesses said the men - a bus driver and two conductors - shouted abuse at the girl for wearing a miniskirt.
When about 1,000 women demonstrated against the attack, drivers and conductors threatened to do the same again. One conductor said: "Women who wear miniskirts want to be raped, and we will give them what they want."
It wasn't "shouting abuse", by the way. It was a violent and lengthy gang rape involving brush handles and god only knows what else, and many female witnesses tried to intercede but as one can imagine, it is difficult for one woman to pull another from a crowd of men.
I imagine, though, that if only women carried guns that these men wouldn't be so comfortable self-righteously declaring they had a right to rape any young girl who dressed in a manner they didn't like.
I'm just saying....

Disgusting. Unfortunately, it happened in a predominantly Christian country, so this won't even get any attention from those whose new-found respect for human rights only seems to extend to countries where Muslims are accused of wrongdoing.

Men who do this are asking for a beat-down, and that's what they should get.

Ah, Southern Africa.
They should be charged with attempted murder, too. HIV/AIDS infection rates in Swaziland are some of the highest in the world (about 36-38%). And if their policies on anti-retrovirals are about the same as the rest of SA's, she's likely being denied the treatment that could prevent HIV infection immediately after a violent assault.
