Hi Elisabeth, You have forwarded what Cornel wrote, I'm sure you've read what Selma wrote to Cornel, and yet you say that we should not take the law into our hands, at the same time you say that law courts in India are able to deal with criminals, can't you see that the culprits are caught and sent to jail, the very next day the same man is walking out of the jail as if he went visiting his in-laws, if this little girl was your own daughter how would you have reacted to this situation? How many innocent victims have been given a fair trial, as you know our ministers have their links everywhere and a small under-table gift will close the case.
On the other hand Mr. Cornel Stoning to death even was enforced much before BC, and to date is still implemented with dignity in Arabian Gulf along with Public killing of criminals and chopping hands of thieves. which I have personally witnessed while in Saudi Arabia.

The law is ineffective, corrupt and unable to aid the common man. The common man inturn has become a vigilante, little realising that such action has no place in civilised society. This brings to mind cowboy Westerns set in the early 19th century, where frenzied mobs would circle prisons to lynch inmates. Heaven forbid if the girl had mistakenly identified an innocent man. Heaven forbid if such an innocent man were to be beaten to death. Heaven forbid if such an innocent man were my father, brother or husband. We reap what we sow in a society. selma __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
