No lawyers will represent India
´gang-rape´ defendants on
"moral grounds"

Mirror [U.K.], by Staff

Original Article

Posted By:PageTurner, 1/4/2013 2:21:47 AM

Five men were today charged with the gang rape and murder of a student in India but the suspects have no legal representation because lawyers are refusing to defend them. Amid furious mass protests after the attack on a bus, the Delhi Bar Association said that on “moral grounds” none of its members would act for the accused men. The suspects were hooded and handcuffed by police today but did not appear in court because of fears that angry mobs would try to exact revenge. Bus driver Ram Singh, 33; his brother Mukesh, 26, who is a bus cleaner; 19-year-old fruit seller

Comments:
One billion Indians and not a single lawyer among them willing to defend these evil ogres. I hope the six maggots are terrified.

They can´t be hanged without a trial, and they can´t be tried without defense counsel.

Note, BTW, none of them is named Mohammed.

It sounds like they have the right guys...so, I am not too worried about the fact they can´t get representation in court. Sick monsters.

Notice the difference in the morals of India vs. ours.I´d hate to think how many gang rapes happen in this country every day but they don´t even make the paper.

There´s lawyers in this country who would take their case in a minute because of the free publicity that comes with it.The more heinous the crime,the more a left wing lawyer licks his chops.

In a way,I envy India because their sense of morality is so much better than ours.

Not to jump willy nilly to the defense of U.S. lawyers, but these monsters would get representation here not necessarily because all defense attorneys are sleezy publicity seekers but there are actually some who sincerely believe that everyone is entitled to due process under the law. It´s a critical concept under our Constitution. I would not want to live in a place where citizens are willing to throw that protection out the door whenever a heinous crime is committed.

I want the youngest one (who was the most violent) to be declared an adult; otherwise he just gets three years max. Evil. Pure evil.

Just skip the trial and ask the mob in front of the court house what should be done to them. Not all criminal defense attorneys are "criminal loving liberals." Republican defense attorneys take their oath to support and defend the constitution seriously. Our constitution recognizes basic rights such as the right to be presumed innocent until found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt and the right to due process. Our founders knew what they were doing. It takes no moral courage to refuse to represent someone that the mob wants to tear into. What would Atticus Finch do? I bet there were lots of folks the lawyers would not represent on moral grounds during the French Revolution. Cowards. By the reasoning displayed here, no one should represent the "Travon Martin Defendant".

The article does not say whether these men were Muslim, but these are not Muslim names. A poster has said the youngest perpetrator was the worst of the lot. She must have read that elsewhere because it is not in this article. Not that the degree of cruelty is relevant.

Looks like India may need to import some of America´s many sleazy morally challenged criminal defense attorneys who lie and cheat on behalf of their guilty sub-human clients (while loudly proclaiming the innocence of the guilty sub-humans).

The youngest one helped to lure the young woman on the bus(?). He raped her twice and tore out her intestines with his bare hands - bare hands! Yes, the most despicable one is the youngest though those who participated and witnessed the barbarity of this rape should be publicly castrated and then hung in my opinion.

Thank you, #5. You have touched upon the key point in this affair. Under our American rule of law, the accused is innocent until proven guilty. Under the rule of Media, it is good enough just to be accused (it´s the seriousness of the charges, not the weight of the evidence).

If these defendants are found guilty after a reasonably fair trial, then all bets are off. Until then, the real shame lies upon all those who are demanding instant ´justice´.

Court ruling deals blow to

Rights activists reacted with indignation on Wednesday after Singapore´s High Court rejected a petition to repeal an archaic law criminalising sex between men. In a ruling issued on Tuesday, the court said it was up to parliament to repeal a controversial provision in the penal code known as Section 377A, whose constitutionality has been questioned by a gay couple. "The issue in the present case no doubt is challenging and important, but it is not one which, in my view, justifies heavy-handed judicial intervention ahead of democratic change," Judge Quentin Loh said in his verdict.

Documents released by Wikileaks show Catholic Church dismissed criticism of Chile’s military dictatorship as ‘communist propaganda.´ The Catholic Church originally labeled accusations of human rights abuses by the military junta in Chile as “leftist lies,” only revising their stance later as widespread governmental violence became undeniable. Among the hundreds of documents from the U.S. State Department released by Wikileaks on Monday was a cable sent to then-Secretary of State Henry Kissinger from his counterpart at the Vatican, Archbishop Giovanni Benelli.

Whoever wins next Sunday’s presidential election in Venezuela faces an economic time bomb with food shortages, insufficient US dollars to pay for imports and honour the country’s debt, a devastated economy full of inefficient nationalized companies and non productive farms plus mounting promises of further handouts from the government and inflation. “In a way, Chávez left at the zenith of his success” says Orlando Ochoa, an economist at the Andrés Bello Catholic University in Caracas. “And his legacy for his successor is an economic bomb”. In an effort to stem the problems the government created a new foreign-exchange agency

During a rally held on Tuesday with workers, Venezuela´s acting President Nicolás Maduro announced a rise in the minimum salary of 38-45% that would be implemented in three stages. The first 20% would be implemented in May, from USD 325.55 to USD 390.66. The next increase (10%) would be adopted in September, bringing salaries up to USD 429.73. A final adjustment would be enforced in November by 5-10%, based on inflation. The president in charge also announced the creation of "workers´ groceries," aimed at bringing state-run food network Mercal to state-run companies so that workers can directly buy foodstuffs at their workplace.

Margaret Thatcher and Queen

A wide variety of experienced politicians, civil servants and courtiers who observed at first hand the Queen’s relationship with Margaret Thatcher agree: it was (long pause, pained expression) “difficult.” Here were two women of similar age but very dissimilar backgrounds; previously strangers, they were conjoined during the most tumultuous and confrontational years of postwar politics. Among the most radical of the Thatcherite thinkers were some whose contempt for the old, flabby institutions of a weary, oversocialized country reached even to the monarchy. They (naively) tended to see the United States as a model in politics and economics,

The lady who changed the world

ONLY a handful of peace-time politicians can claim to have changed the world. Margaret Thatcher, who died this morning, was one. She transformed not just her own Conservative Party, but the whole of British politics. Her enthusiasm for privatisation launched a global revolution and her willingness to stand up to tyranny helped to bring an end to the Soviet Union. Winston Churchill won a war, but he never created an “ism”. The essence of Thatcherism was to oppose the status quo and bet on freedom—odd, since as a prim control freak, she was in some ways the embodiment of conservatism.

Margaret Thatcher, the “Iron Lady” of Britain who adamantly defended and praised her friend, former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet for “bringing democracy to Chile,” died following a stroke on Monday. She was 87. Thatcher was arguably the most influential British politician in recent history. The first woman to lead a major Western power, Thatcher held office for 11 years, making her the country´s longest-serving prime minister of the 20th century. A large part of Thatcher’s legacy was her role in the Falklands War,

ROCKFORD, Ill. — A northern Illinois woman who admitted leaving a newborn daughter to freeze to death along a rural roadway in 2004 was sentenced Friday to 50 years in prison. Katie Stockton, 32, faced up to 60 years in prison for the death of the infant, who became known as Baby Crystal around the Rock River Valley after her frozen remains were found. Winnebago County prosecutors dropped 11 remaining murder charges in exchange for her guilty plea in February to a single count of first-degree murder.

Speaking in Ohio this week, the Youngstown Vindicator reports, veteran investigative journalist Bob Woodward recalled an “unflattering” story about a dining experience with former Vice President Al Gore. According to the local paper, Woodward “told an unflattering, but amusing story about sitting next to former Vice President Al Gore at a dinner, saying being with him was taxing.” “To be really honest, it’s unpleasant,” the journalist added of his experience with Gore. Woodward also said that the former VP “pressed him on why the journalist didn’t go after Bush, who beat Gore in the 2000 presidential election, over the war in Iraq.”

Below is an email that David Horowitz sent to the editor of The Daily Beast in response to their recent interview with Bill Ayers. When you interview a shallow, murderous liar like Billy Ayers, you should assign someone who is at least familiar with the basic facts. The Weather Underground was created in 1969, not after the Townhouse explosion which took place in 1970. The Underground was created with a formal “Declaration of War” against “Amerikka.” By their own account at the time (not in retrospect of course) Ayers and his friends were intending to start a race war

CARACAS - Venezuelan opposition leader Henrique Capriles expressed outrage on Monday at the description of his supporters as "heirs of Hitler" by election rival and acting President Nicolas Maduro. The buildup to the South American OPEC nation´s April 14 vote has been characterized by highly personalized attacks between both candidates hoping to replace the late Hugo Chavez. At the weekend, Maduro compared opposition complaints about Cuban doctors working in Venezuela with the persecution of Jews in Nazi Germany. "The heirs of Hitler are leading a campaign in Venezuela against the Cuban people," he said.

HARTFORD, Conn. -- With time running out on the chance to pass gun control legislation, President Barack Obama on Monday warned Congress not to use delaying tactics against tighter regulations and told families of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims that he´s "determined as ever" to honor their children with tougher laws. Obama´s gun control proposals have run into resistance on Capitol Hill, leaving their fate in doubt. Efforts by Senate Democrats to reach compromise with Republicans over expanding required federal background checks have yet to yield an agreement, and conservatives were promising to try

Don’t hide behind a procedural action to prevent a vote. That’s the wrong thing to do, and that’s how the president clearly feels.”

There was growing buzz over the weekend that a bipartisan agreement on gun control — a deal that would expand background checks — could hit the floor as early as this week. However, any deal could be derailed by the looming threat of a Republican filibuster involving Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. With Cruz standing proudly in the way of any gun legislation, Democrats are trying to make him pay a political price — and even a couple of high-profile Republicans are questioning his tactics.

More than six months since Ambassador Christopher Stevens was assassinated by terrorists in Benghazi, the Obama administration is still trying to keep a lid on information about the attack. Congress and the American people need to know what happened the night of Sept. 11, 2012. Who did the killing and what was their motive? Why wasn´t help sent? And why did the administration lie about who was responsible? Members of Congress have asked hundreds of questions at hearings conducted by several investigative committees, but many of the most significant have been left unanswered.

Margaret Thatcher had more impact on the world than any woman ruler since Catherine the Great of Russia. Not only did she turn around—decisively—the British economy in the 1980s, she also saw her methods copied in more than 50 countries. "Thatcherism" was the most popular and successful way of running a country in the last quarter of the 20th century and into the 21st. Her origins were humble. Born Oct. 13, 1925, she was the daughter of a grocer in the Lincolnshire town of Grantham. Alfred Roberts was no ordinary shopkeeper.
