The chaos and mayhem on Rajkumar's death.

A great actor, who has donned a variety of roles , who has the crazy following of a whole state's population , who is demigod to most of them died on the 12th of april, wednesday.He died a natural death.No one intimidated ,threatened , kidnapped or killed him.He died of cardiac arrest and due to old age.But his death claimed at least six lives as tens of thousands of angry fans smashed cars, burnt buses and battled with the police on Thursday.U could ask whats the reason!!The answer would be "NO REASON..ONLY STUPIDITY"..It happens only in india..
Needless voilence wasted crores worth of property and 6 priceless lives.Was is really worth it in retrospection?? No one has time to think.We all just walk in monday morning to work as if nothing happened over the weekend.What else can we do anyways!! All we can do is avoid the mob and shut all doors!!
Did u know what was the most common feature among the rioters(i mean the ones who caused all casualtities).. Guess.. were they all kannadigas..were they all in thier teens.. were they all from rural backgrounds.. were they all uneducated... NO is the answer to all questions.The only thing in common was they were all drunk as a skunk..Some of them were tamil even.Some were educated too.But it was like a free for all.All that mattered was having some fun.Do u have any feeling in some corner of ur mind that all these were due to thier sadness and anger at the loss of their god like figure..U wont have that if u had watched the new channel footage of the burning busses.The rioters were all laughing , giggling, jostling and jumping over one another to get themselves on camera.Do u call this mourning???
Police were dragged out, chased and beaten.The footage was repeatedly shown in all TVs.Now who will respect the Police force in the city anymore when they cant protect themselves??The whole incident was a very sad one for the whole of Bangalore..Even though most people are peaceful the image of Bangalore is already dented beyond repair.What can we do to prevent such happenings..what we think does not matter..The people concerned should think...will they?? lets wait and watch until another such incident unfolds in another place :-(...
