How difficult is it to strictly punish a Rapist?
Is the Govt really that weak Or shud it happen to some infant in a minister’s family to implement a strict law for #Rapists

We are tired of asking for justice from a race that has no hope. This one is the limits. RIP #JusticeforJayapriya

The hope in human race is deteriorating at such a fast pace. We misuse power that’s given to help the voiceless. We hurt ppl whom we find weaker. And we kill babies to satisfy our monstrous pleasures.

With every passing day it looks like nature is telling us that our race needs to be wiped clean, for living such a pathetic life where we watch such incidents happen but still be so useless!!! This inhumane world doesn’t deserve to birth another Child !

I pray that there doesn’t come a day when justice is served only when the crime is brought to the limelight or it happens to “Trend” on social media. What would happen to all those crimes that go unnoticed and unreported ??
