Why are we protecting Criminals…?





Why is our justice system allowing the criminals to cover their face while being photographed? 

Today in the news paper I saw the photograph of all six rapists with their face covered. It really made me seethe with rage. They are not victims to have their identity protected. They have participated in a most brutal act and our legal system is bestowing favours on them by allowing them to cover their head  while in public. It is this protection rapists enjoys prompt others to commit such crimes again and again.

It is high time that we change our legal system. The minor of the lot who committed the most heinous acts will face only 3 years in jail. Shame on all of us… 
 
Some people say they molest women because their dress was provocative. If that was the case what do we say of all the male gynecologists? 99.5 % of them are not rapists....

So indecent dressing is just an excuse to shift the responsibility of the crime.  A good man, if he sees a woman naked, will not behave indecently. He will give his shirt or coat to cover her nakedness.

The lawyer of the defendants said that women should not be out of home at night. In what century does he live. Will he say the same if his daughter or mother or wife was attacked? 

I read the interview of Jyothi’s mother today and she wants all the rapists hanged. I echo her sentiment, let all the rapists be hanged or electrocuted… We don’t want such men in India…There are so many loving, caring and understanding men in our country. So we can very well live without a few brutes like Jyothi’s rapists or the rapists of the Punjabi girl whose news came in today’s paper. Such men are a malice and disgrace to our society…

Let Government make capital punishment a norm for brutal crimes..whether it is rape or political murders. If anyone knows of any organization fighting for this please send me the link, I would like to join and support them…
For an India where Human beings live and not just animals….

Police cannot show their faces until prove guilty...They should be burnt alive as Jyoti wished. :)

Though not in favour of the death penalty I think life imprisonment should mean life imprisonment for such heinous crimes.

I agree to every word you have said...

ashok said...

totally agree with u...

If life imprisonment really means life imprisonment, I too am with you. but the sad thing is those who are serving life imprisonment gets to come out after couple of years and it is grave injustice since the person who is harmed cannot return to life in 99.9% of the cases...

That is why I am for death penalty now...

Your anguish and anger is understandable.Justice must be quick with a deadline,punishment deterrent in nature and example for others and security adequate for people to move about freely.These tragic cases should bestir the government to plug loopholes in laws and the clamour for it should be sustained by people till done.

Hmm maybe they want to be sensible to people's sentiments. I mean what difference does it make in knowing or not knowing which face holds that gruesome soul.Isnt it?

strange.friendships said...

Yes Partha. Each time, I read about the gruesome details of that rape, I end up crying. I can never understand how could people behave like that...Government need to do something to prevent such acts. Only swift justice will deter criminals...

Shaming the criminals makes a big difference. If their photos are all over the newspapers it will be difficult for them to return to normal life later on. This stigma will follow them till their death and others who harbour such thoughts will think again before committing such acts...

Where I live, government names the errant restaurants and organizations committing unlawful acts and it certainly shames them. Public too avoid such restaurants. The tactics works...
