BOSCAR clarified the 70 sexual assault figure as not relating to gang rapes as previously quoted- if you wish to read something altogether untrue into it, so be it. I have simply stated all along that there is little evidence of something homogenous group of gang rapists in Sydney as you seem to believe.
If you really wish to be incredibly pedantic why don't you explain why the media were less and less concerned over the horrific rape of boarders at Trinity Grammar School, why don't you explain why there was no controversy over the charge bargaining procees used in that case, when it was so criticsed in the Bilal Skaf rapes?
In the end it comes down to a lot more than perhaps you understand Redneck. No one doubts the crimes were horrific, but they question the ways in which the media framed the racial discourses in ways in which stretched beyond reality- and in the end it is the media that has provided most, if not all your information about the rapists. Reading some texts other than the Telegraph and SMH would help you a lot more.
