Punishment for the Molesters

Just a couple of days ago, Saakshi wrote about a disturbing trend in Mumbai. Women are groped and molested in public and this all in Mumbai, one of the safest cities in India.

Since that day there have been more incidents and more people have come forward. The police have gone on the defensive and are scrambling to get their act together and arrest the people that committed the crime.

However my question to you all readers is…

If you are in the crowd and see this happening….what would you do ?

Would you stick your neck out and try to protect the woman ? This at the risk of losing limb and life at the hands of an irate mob ?

Or would you try to record the incident on your cell and hope that it can be used to nab the culprits ?

And finally, if the culprits are nabbed, what is the proper punishment for them.

I personally think that the few in the crowd who resort to such antics should be beaten up by the majority of the bystanders. Public beating and breaking a few bones will do them good for a lifetime.

And if the public does not do its duty, then medically castrate them. That would solve a problem for a lifetime.

OK, the last suggestion is off the top, but that’s just because I am so f#$%ing angry at the series of incidents happening in my own city.

    This public beating has become a mob mentality. And that exactly is the main reason for losers forming a mob and groping.
    The best way would be to interfere or at least talk. And definitely get it in camera. So they can be prosecuted by the law.
    But giving a public beating has turned our country into a bunch of clowns beating people for hitting cows in the road. This should stop and law should take effect. Yes it may not be swift like we would want it to be. But that is the way to go.

    It’s no different in other cities either. And for those who do step in, they do indeed risk life. Like Gunasekhar, a bouncer at a Bangalore pub. (Only have the link to the epaper; Pg1, Times of India, Bangalore edition, Jan 7).

    oh hell ya!! If i could i would award castration as a punishment for all rapists and give them all the publicity in the world. in short make them feel humiliated, what they make us feel when they use women as objects of their pleasure.
    Project blank noise has taken the first step in the direction of movement against eve teasing. i support them.
