No man's justice

I follow news quite frequently and its so random to come across death tolls, natural calamities and political fascism that all of it seems redundant. Honestly, when you live in a society packed with bigoted beings and witness unhindered madness firsthand, its no surprise life becomes sickening (usually at least). But that has grown on me, I've learned to ignore all the crap that I get to face everyday. However, Gulgee's murder got to me today. Its not something I couldn't expect from a society like ours.. just that I felt angry after a very long time. I mean a man who is old, fragile and paints for a living gets tortured and murdered along with his wife! How does that serve anyone's purpose? I was so taken aback by this news that when I rolled down the news page and came across other news items such as killings in Baghdad, Afghanistan, suicide bombings, young kids with guns in their hands.. a point came when I couldn't go on reading anymore.
