Enough is Enough

 

This is just a guy, like a lot of people saying enough is enough. I for one will NOT stand for this

 

The newspapers these days are starting to resemble horror stories. The only problem is they are not stories they are real. Those monsters your mother told you about when you were a child are real and they are running loose. For those of you wondering, I am referring to the rape cases that are taking place in this country.

Just day before yesterday a few friends came over from the other side of Kolkata and we hung out. They left my house at around 7.30 in the evening. One of them was a girl and her phone had been buzzing with calls from her home for quite a while. She reached home OK but my other friend had an encounter with a pickpocket and got home with a bleeding hand.

Such incidents are becoming common these days, what with the police turning a blind eye to the rising crime rate. It’s almost as if they are non-existent! I can see no other reason for the headlines of late. A gang rape here, a triple murder here and some father forcing himself on his 12 year old daughter. What the hell are we coming to?

Then there’s the victim. Quite often, if the law is to be believed that is, it’s her own fault she got raped. Apparently, women should pay attention to the tightness of their jeans in order to avoid being raped. I have never heard something more ridiculous in my life. The fact of the matter is that society needs to teach it’s sons to behave instead of teaching it’s daughters how to dress. Furthermore, someone who has raped a woman should be castrated and left with the victim’s family for half an hour. The remains can then be burnt in public. Such animals, and I insult animals by calling these lowlifes that have no place in society or in the world today.

Someone needs to tell our gracious government that just because some one has money, it doesn't give him the right to do whatever the hell he wants to. A set of laws (though they are the biggest farce in this country) are there to keep us safe, not to make us feel threatened and insecure every time we step out of our houses.

This has gone on for long enough, and it needs to STOP. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. If you can’t do it, we will find someone who can.

But you know what people? Nothing will happen, because at the end of the day, I am just a voice, in a sea of voices, screaming to be heard.  Will we ever be heard?

I’m not signing this post, because this isn't Bilge. It’s a very serious, very ugly side of society that has reared it’s head. But, it isn’t a side that can't be obliterated. One simply has to have the gall to do something.
