Locally...

What news value is there in publishing the nationality and picture of a "pimp," here? The man has been arrested and will be incarcerated, so he poses no further danger or threat to others, at this point. Why are pictures of "locals" not published when they are arrested? And, if, on the rare occasion a picture of a "local" is published, his face will be blurred out. But an ex-pat? Nope. Full, untouched photo. Interesting...

Three young men and four girls have been charged with "illicit companionship." [Note the difference in this article versus the article about the "pimp," above. Absolutely no mention of any nationality in this and no photographs, either.] "Security officials said they found the suspects sitting in indecent positions." Care to elaborate on that? What, were the girls straddling the boys, or something? What is an "indecent" sitting position?!? "The owner and the employees of the coffee shop were charged with spreading corruptions and violating the law of the land." Why stop there? Shouldn't everyone in the shop have been rounded up and arrested for condoning the behavior of the three young men and four girls? [This is one of the reasons why Saudis cross the Causeway to go to Bahrain - they do not have be concerned with "sitting in indecent positions" or worry about being charged with "illicit companionship."]

Another vehicle accident caused by high speed with three young men reported to be in serious condition. And, here, two vans collide. Since no one in any position of authority is taking this seriously... Yawn...
