Last week there was a horrific gang rape in the city. Actually, every rape or gang rape is horrific, but this one has caught the attention of the city. So people are protesting and causing problems. The men themselves who committed the crime would like to be killed. The poor girl is fighting for her life in the hospital. And the city is angry.
The girl and a guy friend were not out super late. I think it was around 9PM. They boarded a bus which is like a tour bus. These buses go around the city at night because there are too few city buses. On the bus were six guys. They beat the guy friend and took turns raping the girl. The driver kept driving. Then they did pure evil which I won't go into. Finally, they stripped the pair and through them out of the bus. The girl has had her lower intestines removed and is fighting infection in her body. She is 23 years old.
There are rapes every day in this city. Many times the women are blamed. It is said that she shouldn't be out at night or she shouldn't dress a certain way. But maybe in fact it is the men who shouldn't be out at night. Or maybe men should not look at women. The blame is clearly on the wrong person. It should be completely on the men.
I agree that women should dress responsibly. But still it doesn't excuse men for having no self-control. So again it is the man who needs help since he can't seem to control himself. So men should only look down. They should maybe even put a covering over their head that helps them to look down and shields their eyes from looking up. I don't think this needs to be all men, but just those who lack self-control or moral character.
So those are my thoughts on the whole subject. I am angry along with the others in the city. But I am reminded of the verse in James that says "Man's anger does not bring about the righteousness of God."
Come Lord Jesus, Come!
