Re: 3 Years For Assault Leading to Death
I have done that before, a man hitting his girlfriend in Ibiza and I just stepped between them and pulled him off her, I think he was so shocked that it made him stop. I can't bear violence, towards anybody. If I witnessed a mugging I would go to help be it male or female.

Moral dilemma # 2701...
If you happened to be passing through that car park and seen the beating happening, would you :
A) turned in the opposite direction and pretended not to see anything.
B) walked over to get a closer look but not intervened when you seen it was a local man + non-local female.
C) intervened regardless.

In most other countries it would be C - and I have experience of intervening back home and didn't get in any trouble from the police one the lady explained I'd helped her fend off a drugged up would be rapist.
It just goes to show the society they have created for themselves here when the system prevents people with a sense of right and wrong from helping the weak and downtrodden. This is precisely why they are doomed to fail in the long term.

It is an absolute outrage. I'm not surprised her parents are reported as 'shocked' by the verdict.
I have done C a couple of times with non locals but have never seen a local in this sort of situation.

I despair

Esther Mwikamba, 26, a shop worker from Kenya, never regained consciousness after the attack. She was rushed to Rashid Hospital where she remained in a coma for 31 days until her death.
A M, an unemployed Emirati, assaulted her in the car park behind the Crowne Plaza hotel on Sheikh Zayed Road on February 18.
Earlier he had sexually assaulted Esther’s friend A W, 28, also from Kenya, in the car park. “I asked him why he did it and he said because we are both black and it was normal with the black people,” she told prosecutors.

The law here is ridiculous. Three years for assault leading to death and six months for graping someone's bum!

What a waste of police and court time. The groper was punched by the girl's boyfriend so that's enough. Says she withdrew the case, which implies she wanted to make a case in the first place. It's not nice to be grabbed on the arse by a drunken stranger, but it's hardly rape.

Re: 3 Years For Assault Leading to Death
i'd love to say i was surprised, i even want to believe somewhere in my soul i'm surprised but i'm not, not anymore.
This country is broken and i suspect it is beyond repair. A country where people behave this way because others from different countries or skin colours are not just seen to be but actually believed to be somehow lesser humans is doomed. its not the laughable punishments that we know are pointless and ineffective its the initial attitudes that are really terrifying.
there was a time when the people in this country valued others, valued their own long culture of tolerance and hospitality, where guest workers were actually appreciated for helping to build the country. Then Baba Zayed died and the little shits multiplied and went forth with their sense of entitlement and self righteous indignation that non nationals are even here at all.
my bucket floweth over

Arabs have always treated Black people as less than human. There are some exceptions for those who have multi generational roots in the Penninsula or have an Arab father.

The Arab slave trade in Africa pre-dates anything us Europeans did by some many hundreds of years...and it's still going on in some places.
