is it rape if a woman is drunk? are the rapists a danger to the public? 3 judges say NO to the last

Another bizarre article I just could not let pass.
I have spent the better part of 20 minutes looking for a funny story with a French connection that I saw yesterday, but got distracted, posted something else and by the time the day was over, I forgot to go back and bookmark.  But I will find the darn thing and post it momentarily.
Anyway, while looking for that story I found this and so once again, distraction is the cause for another post.  And what a distraction this is.

I think we need to be fair to the Judges here because I can see where they thought the vermin are not dangerous.
They laughed while they raped thus showing they possessed a sense of humor. And anyone with a sense of humor no matter how perverted, can not be a danger. Right?

A reader at the mail under comments has asked if there are any rapists or killers here in the UK that are thought to be dangerous.
Good question.

Are there any murderers or rapists that are actually deemed ‘dangerous’ in Britain? I am constantly reading about murderers and rapists that have their time in prison reduced (if they even managed to get more than 2, 3 years in the first place) because they are not dangerous. How does that logic work out?

And here is what she is referring to.

Pair who laughed as they raped woman they ‘came across’ in town centre have sentences CUT because they are not ‘dangerous’

* Rezgar Nouri, 27, and Mohammed Ibrahim, 24, repeatedly raped the woman, 24, in Preston

* But judges rule there was ‘insufficient evidence’ that they should be defined as ‘dangerous’

* They allowed the men’s appeal against original indeterminate sentence and instead handed each a 12-year term

By MATT BLAKE

Two men who laughed during a horrific ‘gang rape’ of a drunken woman have had their sentences slashed after three senior judges ruled they were not ‘dangerous’.

Rezgar Nouri, 27, of Preston, and Mohammed Ibrahim, 24, of London, were jailed indeterminately after being convicted of assaulting the 24-year-old in Preston last June.

Sitting at the Court of Appeal, Lord Justice Hooper, Mr Justice Silber and Mr Justice Hamblen heard how the men ‘came across’ the woman before taking her to a flat where Ibrahim pinned her down while another man raped her.

After that, Ibrahim raped her before Nouri ‘grabbed’ her and ‘dragged’ her into a bedroom where he raped her, judges were told.

But today, despite the evidence, they ruled at the Royal Courts of Justice there was ‘insufficient evidence’ that Nouri and Ibrahim should be defined as ‘dangerous’

They said Judge Anthony Russell QC had been wrong to decide that ‘imprisonment for public protection’ was necessary and hand down a jail sentence which gave the men no automatic right of release.

They allowed the men’s appeal against the imposition of an indeterminate sentence and instead handed each a 12-year term.

The court earlier heard how the woman had become separated from friends - when she was ‘quite drunk’ - in the early hours after visiting a number of bars and clubs, the court heard.

I think you get the picture but if you want to read the rest of the article, which is worth it for the comments alone, go HERE

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere
