Excerpts:
Rodney Fernandes ......."Was it because of her ethnic or immigration
status or her mental status?" he asked .
RESPONSE:
IMHO, Her treatment by the 'authorities' could NOT have been a result
of ANYof the above.
While the grief, disbelief and anger at her premature demise under
such circumstances is understandable, there are a few points we may
wish to consider:
1: Not ALL folks in "uniform" are fully there in the penthouse.
2: Never argue with ANY folks who have a combination of Uniform and Power.
3: Robots are Robots. Robots with power are worse.
I also suggest that we should get rid of this "ethnic" excuse - even
though we know that it exists.
Finally, in any situation like this, we should ask ourselves: Could we
as a family or community have prevented such a tragedy? Do we believe
that the hapless lady suddenly became 'incapable'? Sure, we cannot
take care of the stubborn ones but Do we not need to look after our
reasonable ones?
In a matter related to this story, I am happy that my good colleague
Santoshbab - set the record straight on FN for his really daft and
exquisitely uninformed comment.
