Comments on: Kugan’s final journey http://www.thenutgraph.com/kugans-final-journey/ Making Sense of Politics & Pop Culture Mon, 30 Jan 2012 19:50:18 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: USJ resident http://www.thenutgraph.com/kugans-final-journey/#comment-1593 USJ resident Thu, 29 Jan 2009 15:24:26 +0000 #comment-1593 Those of us who have had our cars stolen will know the anguish, heartache and trouble one has to go through. Our first reaction to these events will be "so what if another car thief is taken off the streets? We will now be much safer. For all you know, my car could have been next." According to reports (don’t know how accurate they are), A Kugan led police to the recovery of quite a number of stolen cars. So, I think one can make the obvious conclusions there if the reports are true. BUT the main point here is Kugan is STILL not a criminal until he is charged and convicted. And EVEN if he is guilty, he did not deserve such a painful death for his crimes. What he deserved if he was guilty was jail time and a chance to be rehabilitated, to be given a second chance. He was not given that. After having said that, I also hope that he will not be placed on a pedestal and hero worshiped. Inevitably, he will become a symbol of the failures of our police force even though there are still MANY admirable features of our officers in blue. Let not his death be in vain.

You, however, have concluded that Kugan is a criminal and he would never have the chance to defend himslef.

If Kugan is guilty, let the courts pass sentence. But look at the pictures of Kugan. I would not wish it on anyone to be interrogated by the police. ton ton,

But look at the pictures of Kugan. I would not wish it on anyone to be interrogated by the police.

The police were quick to charge dozens for attempted murder just because a policeman was injured on his head in Batu Caves. Justice must be done for the dead soul.

If one chose to live by sword then one would die by the sword. The wrongdoing on the part of the police is not to be condoned, by the same token this criminal shouldn’t be over glorified.
