Appeal Quashed

The appeal for a lesser sentence by three Muslim brothers who targeted white Australian girls for gang rape has been quashed.

But while criticising an argument put forward on behalf of one of the rapists, New South Wales Court of Criminal Appeal Justice Michael Grove shows he's still concerned about the heinous crime of offending RoP sensibilities:

Justice Grove said it was "inappropriate" for a lawyer to have described MSK as a "cultural time bomb" and blame the rapes on his upbringing in Pakistan...

"The expression 'cultural time bomb' was, to say the least, inappropriate and inapt.

"It would understandably be regarded as offensive by those who fell within the scope of its insult."
(Hat-tip: Nilknarf at Right Wing Death Bogan)

In the Sydney case, the names of the rapists were suppressed to protect the identities of the victims.

But in this Melbourne case, the victim has been outed. Wonder why?
