Social consequences are changing some pleces but IDK about Aussies. Colleges need to step up there and that would be a start.
Aussies are aussies, they live in a nanny state ( no offense but its true), they cannot defend themselves with the means to do so or they would be criminally charged, i feel bad for this. Not to mention guns are illegal there, they willingly let their own government disarm them and write laws that wrong the citizen more than any criminal. ( i know this is a bit off topic ).
Crime should have never been allowed to happen with hundreds of witnesses, just makes me hate how the human race does not give two fucks about anything anymore.
I think it means that drunk college age young people don't step up in a crowd to stop stuff. It takes a sea change in attitude but that situation would be hard for anyone. Screaming STOP from bystanders would have kept it from continuing. Rapists have to be seen as criminals, not just one of the boys. Normal guys don't do that.
if yelling doesn't work just carry one of these bad boys, too bad they forced all of the citizens that follow the law to hand over all means of firearms for self defense or hell even a knife but nope ban hammer on those things.
btw i couldn't find the other type of little pistol, so here handgun with 4 bullets that should be enough.
I'm sorry but saying that a gun will solve this issue only potentially adds to the problem. It says that the victims need to be doing something in particular to stop the rape (like saying women need to not walk alone or wear skimpy clothes) which allows victim blaming if someone is raped. That also ignores the fact that most rapes are done by someone the victim knows. There's a lot more guilt and shame involved if you are raped by someone you know, you maybe even have feelings of some kind for this person, you're certainly not going to shoot them. Perhaps a gun would help prevent violent rape or stranger rape. I have no issue with guns. Im not goin to get into that argument. But i strongly feel that guns would not end rape in our society. I also feel rape is a symptom of a much deeper cultural sickness. People who rape ARE quite often "normal guys". We want to imagine them as sick, perverted fucks that society would always shun. It's simply not true. When is the world so black and white?

Sex with a drunk or passed out person is rape.
