Re: gang rape of indian woman
Is Japan a developing country?
Japan is the originator of chikan gangs.. gangs of men who accost women in public, traditionally on trains but increasingly on buses, filming the assault and selling access to the films on porn sites.
Chikan porn has proliferated thru out the far east and is obviously taking an increasingly violent turn in India.

Thank you

The Reagan/Bush/CIA/Mossad/FBI/NeoCon/GOP/Jew Media/Military/Hoover Institution/NPR/Bloomberg News/MI5-MI6/ NRA Militia/ Kabal created the Terrorist Monster that is Afghanistan and destroying Pakistan, one of our strongest Allies, in the process. So put the blame for that country's problems and our lost Blood and Treasure where it belongs.
Furthermore, do you think that, if the Russians had won, Reagan/Bush's dear Taliban Butcher Friends would be allowed to run around shooting little Girls in the head for wanting to go to School?
