Guardian article- disgusting euphemism of the systematic rape of 1400 children

I think there is justifiable outrage at how the crimes were dealt with, yes. I don't support riots or capitalising on tensions.

What? You don't think it's justifiable outrage that the crimes were committed and that it was glossed over?

Guardian used to be my paper of choice. Can't believe how much I loathe it now.

If it wasn’t for the last problem I think a curfew for men would work.

Not only in Rotherham. Of course there is anger about what happened. But violent men are a problem for all communities. I keep thinking about what we as women can do about it. If there were enough of us we could form up to present a united front when any violence happens but it is too scary to do so without special training I think. And we would have to control our understandable anger. I am so sick of men taking the whole space that we just retreat into our own worlds to avoid it, although for some of us home is the most unsafe place.

The Guardian has not exactly covered themselves in glory when reporting on anything of this nature. See their reporting on mass sexual assaults on women in Cologne on New Years Eve 2015.

I think it both does fuel the tension, and also creates a perfect excuse for racist men who like rioting.

I note in the bbc article the failing to deal with it early was due to fear of being labelled racist because it was largely Asian men doing the exploiting.

When this context is given in light of the Guardian's story you can see why people in Rotherham have reacted furiously. All of those 1400 children (and those are just the ones they are aware of, there will be others), have parents, and if those 2800 adults (plus grandparents, aunts, uncles and friends) are angry at what happened and no real change since then, it wouldn't be surprising if there is overlap between those groups and they comprise a significant number who are rioting.

At least 1,400 children were subjected to appalling sexual exploitation in Rotherham between 1997 and 2013, a report has found.
