“a feature of gang life was gang rape”

“I grew up in and around the capital city of Trinidad and Tobago. Port of Spain, to be exact. It was littered with youth gangs of the third and fourth generation. I was a member of Style Crampers. There were others - Fallen Angels, Spike Jones, City Kids, Navarone and more. And a feature of gang life was gang rape. Betty Punjab lived next door to us. Her mother baked the most wonderful sponge cakes, and Betty went around door to door selling them on Saturday afternoons. She was lured to a derelict house, where members of Style Crampers had their way with her, and for a week or so she was passed from gang to gang. That was 40 years ago, and it continues there to this day.

My father, the late Reverend Cipriani Howe, usually quiet and reserved, suddenly exploded at Betty’s ordeal. His single word echoes to this day. He pointed his index finger at me and said: “Never.” I’ve passed it on to my 14-year-old son. And that is all.”

That’s from Darcus Howe - More Here

Here’s advice from Darcus to arm your daughters with an ice pick….

“Now the issue has returned to haunt those who babbled “racism” upon the identification of a dangerous phenomenon in the black community. Had they spent their energies then in support of Channel 4 and used their resources to plaster south London with posters decrying gang rape, then perhaps the frequency of this heinous crime would have been greatly reduced. I sat my daughter down and told her that it would be reasonable to carry an ice pick in her backpack and, should she be attacked, to close her eyes and sink it deeply in the assailant’s head.”

Seems a good idea for rapists.

I personally don’t see any more than a few sick bast**** in Liverpool thinking gang rape ought to be part of the rule of terror.

Gang Rape was NEVER part of the culture in Liverpool and it needs to be stopped dead in it’s tracks before we start to see Nogsy and Crock ‘eds’ and other budding gang-bangers in various areas raping at will.

We appeal to anyone who can help the family of this latest gang rape victim out, to do so.

Plenty of people in Liverpool can help out with these things.

Incidently if the echo confimed it why have’t they published it?Is it an 08 whitewash?Scared of losing tourists?Make your site so it can upload audio files and i’ll give you something that will blow 08 out of the water.

What sort of a city has Liverpool become?

The Echo published a small article taking up 10% of page 2. A few people missed it. The Daily Post published the article in full.

It was an exclusive by Caroline Innes, Liverpool Daily Post

Full article Here

One of the many complaints is that…

“The owner of the house outside which the alleged rape happened has never been contacted by police;”

Grandmother of victim

Hello spit

Thank you for showing concern regarding the rape of my granddaughter.

We are still trying to get the police to do their job and will not give up trying to find out who these monsters are.

People have a right to know what’s going on in their area.

I have only just come across this web site. Thanks for posting your opinion.
# admin Says: October 24th, 2007 at 5:45 pm

I hope and pray that those evil lowlife are caught soon.

We could flood a few social networking websites with some short statement about the rape. Especially the crocky and nogsy gang hangouts on YouTube ect.
# admin Says: October 24th, 2007 at 5:59 pm

If any of the Post or Echo journalists are reading this - why not ask the police, through the freedom of information act if needs be, how many cases of rape and sexual assault, with more than one offender, have been recorded over the past 5 years?

I’ve counted 3 so far, including the rape reported here.

The other two were two men from the South End, and 3 Iraqi refugees, which involved raping a prostitute.

There may be more not reported. London is rife with this - maybe we’ve got a hidden gang rape problem also.

There was also a sexual assault with 7 men in Sutton, St Helens, reported on the Merseyside police website.

Details…

“Merseyside Police is investigating an incident, which occurred on 5 September 2007.

A 16-year-old girl walked through ‘the Wash’ onto Leach Lane in Sutton at approximately 9.30 pm. The Wash is a wooded area with a pathway running through and is used as a shortcut from Mill Lane to Leach Lane.

Approximately 6-7 men surrounded the woman and she was physically assaulted by one of the men, whilst the others looked on.

The group left the scene in the direction of Clock Face.

One man is described as white, approximately 19 years of age, blonde hair, around 6ft tall, slim build and was wearing a black Nike Tracksuit. A second man is described as white, brown hair, had a goatee beard and was wearing a white vest and black striped shorts. A further man was wearing a stripey jumper and another has a large tattoo on his calf.

Detective Constable Ian Plant said: “Whilst the woman has been left severly traumatised by this ordeal, incidents of this nature are very rare. Patrols have been stepped up in the area to provide a reassuring presence and visible deterrent. It was a dreadful thing to have happened and I would appeal to anyone who has information to contact us.”

“incidents of this nature are very rare”

But its not rare, and senior high flying police tell us this.

From the Guardian…

“The Metropolitan police are worried - enough to examine the statistics on 123 incidents in three London boroughs, involving over 900 assailants (including four gang rapes around the same school). Enough for Sapphire, the Met’s three-year-old specialist rape unit, to recognise gang rape as a separate phenomenon, needing specific attention. Enough for a senior officer, Commander John Yates, tipped as a future commissioner, to speak on behalf of the Met on the issue.”

The evidence re the rapist having green eyes is important - and its only just struck me that not many people have green eyes.

I’m looking for more precise figures, but globally its, less than 2% with green eyes. Could be a real good one to push.

Green Eyes and Northway Jacket

Some nations, Hungary apparently, have genetic traits which mean 20% have green eyes but I’m sure a professor in Lpool Uni could give a figure for percentage of people with green eyes in Liverpool. I’d say around the 2 to 5% mark.

Then you narrow it down to people with Northway Jackets - bit of a clique thing there.

Maybe a police E-Fit with green eyes (even if its a blur) would impact on some Daily Post or Echo reader.

Has their been an E-Fit?

Surely, we’d expect that to be carried out, as soon as it was possible.
# nannymo Says: October 30th, 2007 at 7:50 am
No E-fit - is this good enough?

Absolutely nothing has been done regarding e fit.

The police even stopped me going on radio with all the descriptions and the eye colour to appeal for help within days of the incident, saying they had a potential witness and I may jeopardise the inquiry.

They didn’t even want to it to go to press…

“because of the recent shooting of poor Reece it would not benefit the public to know.”

Words from Lee Turner CID Lower Lane.

Today I have written to Maria Eagle and await a reply.

We will never give up!
# DEVASTATED PARENT Says: October 31st, 2007 at 1:21 pm

From the Parents of the teenager who was held down and raped in broad daylight on a Saturday afternoon while going to the shop.

We are emotionally distraught and cannot still come to terms with what these beast have to done to our daughter, yet CID LOWER LANE have still not made any attempt to find these animals.

I have spoken to Lee Forrester CID LOWER LANE on 23rd Oct about forensic evidence he said he would get back in touch.

We are now at Wed 31st Oct and I have left 3 messages on answer phone for him or some to contact me and let me know what is happening. I have still had no reply.

We as a family have been failed by the police, we have made an official complaint and typical of the police they look after there own. Well I am looking after my own my daughter who should be put on a pedestal, she has got more back bone for coming forward than any CID OFFICER AT LOWER LANE.

If the police think that this is the end they can think again I will carry on until i get some form of justice for my daughter and all rape victims who get treated in this way by CID OFFICERS.
# DEVASTATED PARENT Says: November 1st, 2007 at 2:55 pm

Thank you for your support.

We have a few options open to us at the moment.

Will update you as soon as I can.

Would be grateful if you could submit details to other websites appealing for any information.
# admin Says: November 1st, 2007 at 4:55 pm

Supporting people is what Liverpool has always done.

As for putting the appeal out on other websites - that’s easy to do.

Consider it done.

Anyone who wants to join in this campaign, feel free to make suggestions.

In the next post, I’ll outline a few tactics.
# spitthedog Says: November 2nd, 2007 at 5:54 am

The investigation into this is a disgrace.This is much more incompetence than the catalogue of mistakes in the De Menezes case.This should be put to parliment in a question by the childs MP.
