I would not want to be them at this point.

They'd never do such a thing in Jordan.

They have physical challenges, but they aren't dull of comprehension. I'm guessing they thought those Northern Irish gals were "loose," and this kind of behavior was nothing but a thing.

The King, as we know, is British educated at Sandhurst and Oxford (Massachusetts, too, at Deerfield as a kid, and he also went to Gtown in DC--very well eucated man), so I am quite sure he's more than a bit enraged. This reflects very poorly on his nation.



I'm betting his phaser is set to stun, at at minimum!

tolerance for this kind of behavior.

I wonder if the normal behavior of women not from the middle east was just grossly misinterpreted by these men.

Some idiots--usually ones who have not travelled abroad or gotten any kind of instruction on the ways of the modern European or American world--believe that if a woman "puts it out there" then that's an invitation to grab it.

And by "it" I mean anything that wouldn't normally be touched in polite society.

They wouldn't pull this with, say, the Queen of Jordan in a pair of tight riding trousers, but they would pull it with that clueless tourist shopping in the bazaar in the skin-tight jeans.

Not to stereotype, but it's true--if you are a young woman or girl, the odds of getting groped in any major Middle Eastern/SW Asian city goes up a thousandfold compared to any city in USA or Europe.
