British tourist jumps from hotel balcony in Agra to escape sexual assault | NDTV.com
Well, we all know India is an uncivilized cess pool where you can't be safe. Many tourists go there, visit the country, dump a lot of money, and what do they get? A chance to get raped, assaulted, bullied, attacked...
The UK, and most civilized nation should take immediate steps to arming tourists to such places with the knowledge that such things can happen. And then encourage them to have some form of protection, stun gun, spray gun, anything that will help tourists not be assaulted on their holidays to such regions.
