If the alleged perpetrators are found guilty, I hope our justice system has some backbone and they receive the maximum possible sentences; keeping in mind that three of the four are legally considered children at the time of the alleged offenses I'm sure there'll be lots of legal and societal arguments about that.
Not sure exactly what you're trying to prove here?
That certain members of this forum are racist against Indians? That's well documented and well proven already, don't need to start another thread about it.
That members of this forum are scared to speak out against 'Arabs'? I'd suggest that's patently false, as certain other threads in the past (as well as this one) have brought out the genuinely concerned, the hand-wringers and the flat out racists in regards to Arabs/Muslims/Middle Eastern people as well (there was the community opposition to Ginza expansion thread and the thread where a bunch of people decided to pile on user 'lebman' for example).
That this forum is no place for a thread about the sexual assault of a flight attendant (outside of Sydney)? Agree. This is a fucking punting forum, sure it's the 'off-topic' section, but if you're not going to keep the thread topics at least tangentially related to punting, at least make them funny or interesting. That topic was neither. Nor is this one. It doesn't have a place here any more than the other one does (except the alleged events took place in 'Sydney'? Weak link Linq).
That 'Arabs' are worse than Indians? Anyone with a bit of intelligence should know that entire cultures or ethnicities are not inherently 'good' or 'bad' but they all likely contain 'good' and 'bad' (and fucking crazy) individuals; especially cultures as vast as the Arab culture or 'Indian' (which when used on this forum or in the context of girls who are 'No Indian' usually means anyone from one of several countries in or adjacent to the Indian subcontinent), which contain many different subcultures, countries, religions, traditions etc. I'm not saying that Sydney may not have a 'middle-eastern crime problem' - I don't know the statistics, but reports in the media and anecdotally suggest this may be true. But trying to prove - what? - that there is unjust racism against one group by bringing up 'worse' problems with another group? That's a bizarre line of reasoning. It is true that certain cultures have issues with violence against women; unfortunately that's not limited to 'Arab' culture or 'Indian' culture but also includes 'Australian' culture and probably most of the rest of the world too. No-one (mostly, some exceptions) on this forum is talking about the probably hundreds of incidents of sexual assault, rape, violence against women (and sometimes men*, and probably very often differently gendered people) that are happening in Sydney or Australia or the rest of the world every week perpetrated by white Australians, Chinese, Indians, Arabs, and pretty much every other fucking ethnicity. And nor should they on this forum because it's a fucking punting forum. Go to reddit or the comments section of a news site if you want to talk about this stuff.
That you're for women? Some of your past posts and thread topics do not support this position. And while you keep mentioning how horrible the crime is, I don't actually see you displaying any empathy for the victim, who as you keep reminding everyone is a 17 year old girl, ie a CHILD. You're essentially using this horrible thing that happened to this child to further your own agenda (whatever exactly that is).
(*Well, there was that one thread about the guy who followed his co-worker to his bedroom for reasons not yet explained, after the co-worker confessed he was gay and found him attractive, then allegedly sexually touched him; so some people are talking about it.)
