This is a joke...

Supreme Court refuses to go easy on hate community created on Orkut


The Supreme Court has refused to quash criminal proceedings against a computer science student who created a hate community, ‘I hate Shiv Sena’, on social networking site Orkut, where a member of the community, which is over 500-strong, posted a death threat against Sena chief Bal Thackeray, while others accused the Sena chief and his party of dividing the country on religious, caste and regional lines, reports Telegraph.

I am really sad about what kind of justice system our country has. Firstly I don't find this logical. It's like filing a case on Ratan Tata cause terrorists entered the Taj and killed innocent people there. And of course everyone knows that hotels are sort targets. Especially after so many attacks globally. Makes sense? No it doesn't.

Anyway my issue isn't about who gets charged or not (which in itself is a VERY SERIOUS issue) but why the justice system feels like a joke to me today is that people who actually lead to people dying are roaming around freely and here you catch some poor kid and tell him he has to face charges cause he created some community and a death threat was posted there.

Seriously where is our sense of trival and non-trivial?

Why is it that real criminals are not behind bars and the justice system doesn't work so hard to put them behind bars?

Why is it that if there was any other community where there was a death threat against a common man, we won't see 'justice' or at least such quick 'justice'?

It just makes me sad...

When I read about this, it just made me wonder.

Here are the law protectors making an individual pay for expressing hate and what about those people who tried to divide the nation by state borders that lead to violence.

That gentleman is roaming free and still making speeches whereas it is the common man who is made to pay for his freedom of expression.

I think the time has come that we the people show what power we have.
