Well, let’s hope this horrible incident causes the Wheels of Justice to turn in India. When a mob of people feel so strongly about a crime, I think it’s time for the law, enforcement of those law and the consequences of it them be re-examined.

Also, I hope this wasn’t a veiled form of xenophobia instead of outrage against a violent crime against a woman it seems to be.

That’s more a hope than a likely explanation. The incidence of rape in India, the almost sneering indifference of the authorities to reports of assaults, and the tendency of the accused to get off even when caught and tried, all point to a pervasive cultural indifference to rape in India.

Now cometh an outsider, an illegal immigrant of a different language and religion and part of a mass of them that is putting economic pressure on the already desperately poor natives of the region.

And he’s the one who gets lynched. No doubt the crowd was genuinely angry about the rape. But how angry would they have been if the offender had been one of their own number?
