power , killing, politics, refugees

Remember the days of gladiators, maximus, Colosseum shear barbarism. People killing for amusement for FUN. Colosseum used to be among the seven wonder of world.
Wonder ... a place where almost 500 people were killed brutally and we the society enjoyed rejoice encouraged them to be more ruthless more mercy less. This place doesn't deserve to be called as a marvel as a symbol are architectural excellence. It has seen too much of blood absorbed too many screams and hosted too many homosapiens. However this blog is not about deciding the fate of Colosseum its about 21st century today. When industrial revolution began we started wearing pretty dresses that made us civilized and left barbarism locked in the closets. so let me throw some light on our civilized outfits
1820- black war (Australia)complete obliteration of the Tasmanian Aboriginal population
1941-45 Genocide against Serbs in Croatia and Bosnia
WW2 - HOLOCAUST
1968-96 Guatemalan civil war, some 200,000 people died
1971 BANGLADESH WAR 2 LAKH DEMOCIDE
afghanistan
Iran
what next only time .... ....
What was accomplished by erasing or an attempt to erase an entire race from the face of earth?
No this blog is neither about this. Since this happened in a far far away land which we dont care. This blog is about ur neighborhood happenings. Killing when is it justified and when a crime.
Killing for self defence
Killing for freedom

Killing via encounter

Killing to make your voice heard
Killing for justice
Killing to spread fear
Killing to proove ur power
Or killing just for the heck of it
First can be justified what about second is it justified. Not long ago even i beleived that its getter to kill a terrorist or a criminal instead of capturing them since in the latter case u have incidences like taking people into hostage etc.If we say capital punishment are banned why not encounters. I mean sometimes it is necessary like for self defence.
Why dont we get a simple face killing can never get you what you want it might spread fear. But not for long.Simple it is just not good just not done.........

how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they're forever banned?

how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?
