    It also led to mass protests across Pakistan, after a policeman questioned why the woman had been out late on her own.

    The day after the attack, a senior police official in Lahore, Umer Sheikh, appeared in front of the media and implied the woman was partly to blame.

    He questioned why she had not taken a busier road, given that she was alone with her young children.

    Man what a terrible take. Her car broke down, she had the doors locked, and they broke the windows and dragged her out before raping her at gunpoint. She was also a foreign tourist, and can’t be expected to know all the good/bad parts of town imo.

        The vast majority of people are ignorant, stupid, or both. Once you stop expecting the world will live up to any minimum standard of behavior, then you free yourself of much mental load.
