Denied Justice, Women in India Take Action

When women kill for justice / Rape suspects feel mob's wrath in one Indian town. When you fail to protect people "under the law" by turning a blind eye to a horrible crime, those people will eventually take action to protect themselves.

Fed up with delays in the judicial process, police inaction, fear of being victimized again by alleged rapists who procure easy bail, the women of Nagpur have decided to take the law into their own hands.

While no one wants to condone vigilanty justice, there must be some justice or some hope of justice.

The best advice is protect yourself against the crime to begin with:

[A] senior advocate of the Supreme Court, Arvind Jain, called upon female students not only to learn the art of self-defense, but never to hesitate in killing the man who tries to rape them, because in India, fighting a case against a rapist was far more difficult than fighting a case of murder in self-defense.

I wonder what weapons women in India have at their disposal for defense. A small women attacked by a large man needs a weapon for defense, or she will be raped/beaten/killed. (h/t KABA)
