The post you are reporting:
I think there is a little too much of a media wind-up in all this.
A bunch of young men put their heads together to plan and then embark upon 'wrongdoing'. Ordinarily, ones mind would light upon, as an example, the Young Conservatives.
For many similarly foolhardy actions are undertaken and excused by 'boyish prank', 'youthful-over-exuberance', or 'too much liquid refreshment'.
This too was simply assault and theft, were it a Policeman's helmet that was stolen, with one or more of the tried and trusted excuses used, somebody somewhere would remark, "we were all young once".
That these particular ruffians attempt to excuse themselves with the alien concept of 'honour' does not lift them from the ranks of ordinary thug, but neither does it make them any more contemptible than any other thugs.
I say again. What is telling about this whole sorry tale is sustained and continued absence of input or comment from the sister or any other woman.
[many years ago here it was the norm for a bride to bring a dowry to the match, and not many years ago (or even still to this day) it was/is common practice for the bride's parents to pay for the wedding. (I say 'parents', but was it not more usually the bride's 'father' who paid?)]
Some cultures may well be behind our own, but not by much.
