I hope you are wrong Eliza, but I fear you are right. The frenzy and andrenalin rush which can come over us at certain times does seem to make us capable of the most beastly actions. There is obviously some sort of group dynamic at work in these cases of gang rape - or even gang assault of any other kind. I fear that these men harboured an extreme level of resentment against their victim. However unjustified this was, we have to try to understand it if this appalling tragedy is not to occur again.
