If only the authorities had dealt with the issue squarely from the get go instead of trying to cover it up due to their ridiculous PC agenda, I don't think things would be as out of control as they are now.

Because of their unwillingness to stand up for the women in their country, they are now dealing with a mess that is spiraling out of control and polarizing the nation. I don't see things getting better any time soon.
