And What Now..?

Less than a week after the BDR Rifles Square Massacre, discomposing bodies are still being discovered, examined, indentified, while profoundly inhumane stories of the BDR soldiers' animalistic behaviour are running rampant.

A friend voiced that we really don't know what compelled the BDR men to resort to such heinous crimes against nature. We dont really have a BDR representative explaining the whys and hows of their strategy in participating in such brtual actions. Yes, they are underpaid, mis-treated, voiceless, yet what compelled them to take up arms and murder their own fellow brothers and sisters?

Rumours of rape, mutilation, and total disregard of childrens' lives are fast gaining attention. The nation is seeking retribution for the misdeeds. I fear amidst such anger, fustration, and shock, people will forget to ask the right questions. The BDR men must have been deprived to such an extent that they opted for violence and total disregard of human lives and casualties to voice their cause? Of course, one cannot overlook the fact that a group of men segregating themselves in a camp disconnected from reality with weapons at their disposal will eventually unleash their primal animalistic natures.

You cannot rationalize their actions to understand their motives. Their execution is beyond human comprehension. No human being willingly and naturally wishes bodily harm upon another. So the question(s) remains, what drove them to pursue such an avenue of carnage?

It is time that the nation sits up and pays close attention. For too long people of lower socio-economic classes have been ignored, trampled upon, disregarded, degraded, suppressed by their affluent counterparts. Revolutions always erupt in the grassroots levels. This is a prime example. Of course not a revolution in any terms. A gruesome mutiny. But there are insightful lessons to be learned from this massacre. Suppressed humans will resort to extreme measures and animalistic violences to have their greviances addressed. It is about time that we start listening to them.
