Just came back from watching a neat movie called "Shootout at Lokandwala".... the movie deals with an incident that took place in 1992 when the cops killed 6 gangsters in a resedential locality when they could have just arrested them...... Now you might say that, what was the need for the killing ( i am sure all you human rights activisits must be thinking the same)....... Arrest them and have law take its course...... The question now arises Does LAW take its course....
To set the facts right..... These 6 people were gangsters......ppl who used to terrorize and kill people for money ( supari as they call it) ........ never spared anyone....... kill without regret and sometimes just for the heck of it..... Now the question would arise, are these people's lives worth anything??
The COPS side: The police generally beleive that these people can never change and hence it is better off to get rid of them..... They would continue to do the same thing once they get out.... More lives would be in danger if they are released on some pretext or the other....
The Human Rights Side: No more person is gulity until proven in a court of law.... Also every human being must be given a chance to redeem himself..... People cannot be killed just because they killed others..... If that is to be so, then what would be the difference between humans and animals......
The Gangster's Side: These are generally people who come from extreme poverty and take exotortion and killing as a way out for easy money.... There are others that do it for the power that they get by killing others..... These are people who love to see the fear in others and get a kick out of it....
My side :) : No person should be allowed to kill in the first place and if he does he should not be allowed to go free or with just imprisonment........ He should be dealt with fiercely and must be set an example for future killers..... There may be some mistakes in these encounter killings which would be due to negligence or just cops trying to take advantage of such a thing...... But if these people are also dealt with firmly, then even this would come down resulting in an creating a scene in which such incidents do not happen.......
Kill such people if neccecary ..........
