Paris, Nice, Berlin, Manchester and now London. The killings of innocent people continues. With all the security measures in place, it is becoming increasingly difficult to stop these kinds of atrocities from taking place. First the referendum, then the Brexit negotiations and the general elections. The country is going through a period of uncertainty. These random killings of people are putting extra burden on those in power. How can we prevent people being radicalized and crack down on the insurgents? Can we not take a leaf out of Donald Trump’s book and follow in his footsteps? No such attacks have yet taken place in the US but Trump has put measures in place to protect his country. We rake our brains and try to find reasons for these atrocities, but in vain.
There are people who are envious of others. They bear a grudge against the rest of humanity – have a chip on their shoulders. This is what happened in other European cities and now that is happening in our cities. Our heart cries out for those who are dead or injured - our condolences to their families. What drives these lunatics to take lives without regard to any principles that govern the people in the rest of the world? Why can’t people live and let others live in peace and harmony? There has to be a way of stopping these indiscriminate killings before our world succumbs to the killers and anarchy becomes norm.
