Lara Logan Hospitalized After Assault and Rape in Cairo, Egypt

[bustybbwlover]

i often wonder, when stories about a reporter being raped or killed pops up, did they really have to be there? i mean i understand being in country but being in the middle of a mob (in this case) or firefight really never seems like a smart idea...nevertheless i wish her well and hope she seeks help (for the mental turmoil) now rather than down the line

That is 1 of the reasons why I am against the protesters ((I would never say revloution cuz we r moving backward not 4ward))
I cant belive what had happened 2 her....My country was of the safest countries where tourist can come and visit and walk at any time of the day at any place even if it is at
3 am.....very sad hope we r back to a dectator system ....til we get rid of such animal people

Recognise what !!

If u mean this disaster I would say I am very sad 4 her and as I told u before I am not happy 4 the collapse of our egyptian dicatator regime cuz this was the best solution 4 both mobs and Muslims brotherhood

And w8 till the muslim brotherhood start executing there own plans
It ll be new Kandhar

I am not against ISlamic rule ofcurse bec 1st of all I am muslim but bec i know that those people ((Muslims BH)) just use the islam to reach there own intreset and they apply ISlamic law in worng way they are totaly far from what true ISlam ordered us 2 do

and Normally they such thugs to terrify forigners and egyptians who disagree with them

There's no doubting the people who did it are assholes who need to be locked up, or that she was sexually assaulted and beaten, brutally.

There's also no doubt that there are serious issues Egyptian in society and a lot of followers of Islam have serious issues related to the modern world. (Possibly this has more to do with lack of education and economic opportunity, but that's another debate.)

Nonetheless, the use of rape in the headline remains inflammatory. The original CBS headline:

"CBS News' Lara Logan Assaulted During Egypt Protests
CBS News Chief Foreign Correspondent Separated From Her Crew And Brutally Assaulted on Day Mubarak Stepped Down"

The usage of rape related to this story comes entirely from re-posters and is designed to fuel anti-Arab and anti-Islamic sentiment.

In all likelihood, it will be some time before we know exactly what happened.


P.S.
I recognize that Shot was merely re-posting what had been widely posted prior, and in fact, it took a little work to find the original story from the source. I wasn't meaning to attack him, merely point that out.

This is what I was glad you recognised.

We don't know the full details of what happened, therefore we shouldn't speculate that it was just a "groping" just because that's the most minor example of a sexual assault. Besides, articles can't come right out and call it a rape without being able to determine that with certainty, therefore it could have likely been one. The phrase "sexual assault" is usually a more cautious phrase that news organizations often use.

 

[BadNewsBewes]

Rape is a sexual assault, but is specifically forced intercourse without consent. Sexual assault alone could mean a quick grope or anything that doesn't go as far as sexual penetration. Even none physical contact like flashing could be considered sexual assault.

It may not have been forced penetrative rape, but it was still a serious violent sexual assault, not a quick fondle. It could be loosely thought of as rape without the exact definition.

Many people could have come to her aid much sooner.

Well wether it is rape or sexual assault
both would nt happen to forigner working or visiting Egypt that is the problem 4 me
any1 in the past could come and stay till 5 am in the street and nothing happen to them

Exactly. Loosely thought of. And the use of rape in the re-posted headlines is clearly intended to sensationalize.

Once again, they re-posted the story, (in which very little information is given,) but chose to alter the headline.

"CBS News' Lara Logan Assaulted During Egypt Protests
CBS News Chief Foreign Correspondent Separated From Her Crew And Brutally Assaulted on Day Mubarak Stepped Down"

"The statement goes on to say Logan suffered a brutal and sustained sexual assault and beating"

Rape isn't mentioned in what you posted. Usually these incidents in Egypt involve aggressive groping and such—I don't know what actually happened in this case.

In Shot's defense, there are many headline that are calling it rape, but none I could find from reliable journalistic sources, which are all calling it "sexual assault."

Shot, you're always posting these liberal-baiting stories and you know it. You're sort of the boards Glen Beck.




Shot never said this as far as I can see, but clearly the inflammatory headline of this thread was fuel for a lot of idiots to make some pretty damn bigoted posts.

So....I start a thread on arguably the biggest story of the day that day and I am baiting? If ANYONE else would have started the thread it would have been okay with you. Jesus H. Christ, you know sometimes you just can't win.

 

[HE1FiNEARTiST]

once again.... this is all speculation..... were you terds there? anyone? anyone? ive been to crowded places such as concerts and men are always copping feels. the women gets tired of it so she runs to sercurity and they say, wanna file a report and shes all emotional and she does and exaggerates.

they copped a feel.... plain and simple they had never felt a white titty before and they did.....

Actually, I wasn't talking about this story, which is more generally sensational.
(Many of the other stories you post are definitely lib-bait and I was using that for perspective;
I didn't actually think you'd take my calling you the Glen Beck of FreeOnes as an insult.)

The reason I jumped on it was that nothing in the story itself mentioned "rape" which seemed a little fishy,
so I looked into it, only to find out that this was never part of the report, but spammed across the internet
in a myriad of traffic-grabbing re-posts.

The original headline was "CBS News' Lara Logan Assaulted During Egypt Protests"

Why did you choose the sensational headline over the more measured headline of the original report?

That's what I'm calling out.

I can honestly say that's what I read and even Brian Williams said it just before I posted the thread. That's the only reason I included 'rape' in the title - because that was the report at the time.

That makes sense— you'd expect Brian Williams to be a responsible source.

I really wasn't meaning to attack you personally on this, just put the story in context.

I'm sure the gory details will be out as soon as Lara has recovered.

P.S.
These were some of the posts that spurred my initial reaction:

Fuckin' camel hump eatin' mofos!

The Middle East should be destroyed. Let China destroy them..

+horrible thing to happen to that reporter but really its a huge gamble not being armed with an assault rifle while in the middle east if you a westerner and of course that risk is further multiplied for females (exceptions abu dhabi/dubai etc.)

doubt the cycle of madness in the middle east will ever end at least not in this life time, might be salvaged by sending some badass back in time to stop whoever came up with the koran?

Totaly disagree

 

[Bloodshot Scott]

Even if it turns out she wasn't raped, what's the big deal? The details will see light in due time. The bottom line is the MSM are mostly the ones that painted the picture in this light. It's not the end of the world. I mean, people aren't burning Korans in the street.

I'll give you rep for this when I can. You're right, it's the story of the day and is turning into the story of the week.

Why not report it? Because it upsets the narrative that many in the media want to construct about Islam and the revolution in Egypt?

That's what the story wants people to believe that Islam is bad and the Egyptians(is considered evil. Really they're not) sexual harrassed an American woman. They wouldn't report this story if she was an ugly fat fuck news journalist.
