TBH I read the quotes from one of the rapists and his attitude didn't surprise me much (ie. rapists gonna rape), but this made my jaw drop:

article said:
The lawyers who defended the gang in court express similarly extreme views about women who venture out at night. In a previous televised interview, lawyer AP Singh said: "If my daughter or sister engaged in pre-marital activities and disgraced herself and allowed herself to lose face and character by doing such things, I would most certainly take this sort of sister or daughter to my farmhouse, and in front of my entire family, I would put petrol on her and set her alight."
In the BBC documentary, he adds that his stance has not changed: "This is my stand. I still today stand on that reply."
Another defence lawyer who acted in the case, ML Sharma, says: "In our society, we never allow our girls to come out from the house after 6:30 or 7.30 or 8.30 in the evening with any unknown person."

Wow indeed. What's amazing isn't that there's some crazy guy who believes that crap (there are plenty of crazies everywhere, and in a country of 1.x billion people you are bound to find a lot), what's amazing is that a high profile lawyer can make such statements and apparently not suffer any consequences. This speaks volumes about how backward the country is.

Can you imagine how the public would react if the defense attorney in a major headline case made such statements? The guy would never have a job again.

That's so screwed up on so many levels - that movie maker had to stoop so low to give a platform to a sociopath/psychopath criminal just to get her own 15 minutes of fame? This video has served to inflict insult to injury to a dead girl - literally! That takes some doing!

Imagine the parents of the girl having to live thru this!

How did the authorities permit this? Did they think this guy would say anything better than what he did?

And that attorney should be disbarred. No two way about it.

This is why I make no apologies for saying most of the world is shit. There are a limited number of countries that aren't and it is why I get pissed at people who don't realize how good we have it. They take it for granted.

Describing the killing as an "accident", he said (one of the rapists): "When being raped, she shouldn't fight back. She should just be silent and allow the rape. Then they'd have dropped her off after 'doing her', and only hit the boy."

How on earth those monsters were given the chance to live and were not death-sentenced in the first place.

I don't think in light of this that it'll take anyone to tell us how bad India is.....India is doing a darned good job of that by itself.

I'm not sure lack of employment is enough of a consequence for that particular view.

Stunning lack of perspective about how the world works. I can't imagine letting my daughter travel to India anytime soon.

Yeah, a lot of people from the old times hold fucked up views. But there was a lot of outrage on this statement of his. I remember when he originally made this statement, a lot of people online and on TV called him out on it.

What else then? Are you going to start putting people in prison for expressing their views? And I thought Americans were big on freedom of expression?

It's truly sad how a culture that was once so liberated that they decorated pillars of their temples with nude figures doing everything including standing 69 positions, and actually had a religious sect that advocated enlightenment through orgasm, has come to this.

I blame the mughal invaders and then the Victorian British for changing that, but there's no excuse for this state now.
