This is indeed shocking. I have seen images of goons hitting women. This is so bad that I falling short of words and am seething with anger.

I mean we are in 2009, time and again we see these self-appointed zealots unleashing such deplorable acts of violence. What is even more shocking is CM, Mr. Yediruppa, is yet to give a statement. With great hope people of Karnataka voted for a stable government and this what we are getting, an impotent government.The country is sure going to dogs.

exactly.. they are just violent regionalists..

[comp@ddict]

Hate these ppl, finish them off, encounter!!

Anyone who uses violence against women should be castrated. Period.

ban Hindutabadis...

When I met NucleusKore months back, he pointed a couple sitting together in the CCD and asked me whether sitting together like that is allowed in Kerala. He explained telling me, nowadays the so called 'Moral Police' in Mangalore is not allowing even that sometime ! I mean they punish the couple if it is a public park or places like that !!

What is wrong with them if girls want to go to Pubs ? If they do not want to go to pubs, don't go. Why punishing girls in a brutal way ?

These guys should be made to sit on the 'hot Dosa stone' with their pants down for 15 mins

[IronManForever]

Bad, bad world!

[comp@ddict]

And still the leaders of Ram Sena havnt even been questioned!!!

[MR.MOUSTACHE]

sad people with this kind of attitude .......

[VD17]

Yes, sad indeed.
I wonder, though, why similiar condemnation wasnt heard when women's group (like that gulab gang, if i remember) attacked men for drinking. That was unlawful as well, wasn't it? There you go, feminism for you. How easy it is for you to say that such men should be castrated. Will any of you say a woman should be gang raped or have her genitals mutilated for cutting of a man's genitals? (there have been many cases)

And as for moral policing, all these morons should go and get a life. Live and let live.

Man, you have some freak logic!!!! You need to go and some life!

[VD17]

freak logic? dude.. all i implied was unless logic prevails over preconceived notions, such things will not stop. On one hand, such vigilantism is praised when its carried out by certain group but on the other hand, it sparks a huge hue and cry. Equality should be on all dimensions.
for example, terms like "modern", "western" etc are looked upon with disgust because of such preset notions.

They should be Shot down DEAD and their bodies fed to animals in ZOO.

Man!!..you are comparing two very different cases.

1) Where a group of poor women who unite to bash up some men who are drunkards and wife-beaters and what not. These women do it out of sheer necessity because there is no one else to protect them. Without uniting like this, they can't stand for their rights. It's the last straw for them.

2) A group of misdirected young men attack a group of guys and girls who did nothing wrong. They were not doing any immoral things. They were just having fun and enjoying themselves without causing any trouble to others. Ok maybe they were drinking, and dancing, but after all, isnt that what you do at a pub?

Drinking and dancing in a pub (is not equal to) getting drunk and beating up your wife and kids !! No matter how hard you try to compare them, these are worlds apart

[VD17]

The system, including the mindset, should be such that neither of the two instances take place. A mechanism should be there to check violence. Violence is violence, in any form. What guarantee is there that the moral upper hand enjoyed in the first case is not taken granted and is used for disruptive activities like in the second case? You say it "was the last straw" and all. Have you seen the legal provisions? And it is not that the law is accessible only for the rich who pay their advocates well. That is just a pathetic excuse to cover up illogical outbursts of anger.
Anyway, i primarily intended to draw focus on the reactions of the poeple here which reflect a violent streak within us. Castrate? Murder? if we waste out energy on such rage, then would we ever be able to go to the roots of such incidents and explore the causes? If we just focus on a system of crime and punishment, we can never eliminate problems fully. There are dynamics that need to be understood - in this case, dynamics like political goals, the mindsets of the youth who carried it out etc. Its very easy to just hang them and forget - but the number on death row would just keep increasing.
