If this happened in Saudi Arabia, it would have received front page coverage here in the US

This happened in the US: "It was about two hours before closing time early on Thursday at Social, a Midtown bar, when the man approached a woman as she danced. The woman, 29, rebuffed the man’s advances and went to the restroom in the bar’s basement, the police said. Minutes later, the man burst through a stall door and began savagely attacking the woman, beating her as he tried to remove her pants, the police said. She fought back, and was able to avoid being sexually assaulted — but not before the man broke her nose and one of her eye sockets, leaving her unconscious and sprawled in a pool of blood." Where is the outrage, as Bob Dole used to say?
