Fans??? or Hooligans???

How much had happenned in the past two days. Protests, strikes, lathi charge, angry mobs pelting stones, firings of tear gas by police, sabotage of public and private property and the result.... eight died including a police constable and the damage worth nearly 50 million dollars. All this because the ardent fans of the legendary kannada star didn't get a last glimpse of their favourite star. Blame it on the poor crowd-controlling by the police at the kanteerava stadium or on the fans and supporters of the star who went berserk attacking the police and the property or on the cheap tactics played by our politicians always looking for that exact moment to create turmoil.

Whatever the reason may be, the results are alarming. The city was literally shut down on wednesday evening and the following thursday. The entire software industry came to a halt on thursday causing a loss in tens of millions of dollars. Which rational mind can support this sense-less act in the name of fan-hood?? Is this the way to pay tribute to thier favourite star by torching buses or by attacking police?? Is this the way to bode him farewell whose mantra is peace??

This is a great example of how people, who indulge themselves in the flood of fanfare, can be so dumb and so blind. What's wrong with these people, can't these dumb shit dick heads even think? Idiolizing a movie star and risking everything for them, even their lifes, is sheer madness. Be it in the case of Raj Kumar or the salman khan issue. Also media hype on these issues is becoming unbearable. Don't they have anything to show or write other than how many days salman khan stayed in the jail? Did the jail officials provided him with mosquito repellants? blah.. blah.. blah.. What a crap... How much more dumb can people become day after day. Who's to blame for all these sense-less actions? Is it the media hype or the people thinking getting screwed day by day?
