wb | 9 years ago | Reply This is a grand example of how pathetic, wretched, retching, disastrous, massive-titanic-gigantic failure our police system is. This is just sad. This is pathetic that a girl is allowed to thrash a boy in front of police, even if he's a murderer or a rapist. What's sadder? That the system did not protect the girl in the first place. That the girl had to resort to extreme measures. This proves my point that India is a fifth world country. A slum of a billion plus. A landfill of slumdwellers. I'm referring to all of us. Some of us literally live in slums, the rest of us look at slums and do nothing and some of us have slum mentality. I know, because I live in it.
