Like a woven sweater we are becoming undone at the seams,one strand at a time.My latest
cry is to question our decency,or lack of in the way a young lady was undressed by an unruly mob of glue-sniffing,mirra-chewing nincompoops lounging at the jobless corner all in the name of instituting their sense of decency on the lady.I cant reconcile the fact that among all those men,not one stood up to protect the lady and to stop the demeaning way she was handled.Furthermore,and as if on cue,some degenerate pervert decides to take a video of the event maybe to use it later to jerk-off and engradise himself.Such is the social fabric of our society that we should not wonder why we seem not to progress forward and always stumble from one crisis to another.
When grown men cannot believe in the rule of the law and decide to inflict physical and psychological torture on a young lady in broad daylight and with videos and cameras clicking away,then you realize we are a society facing doom.The events of #Embasava cannot be viewed in isolation but are a mirror of our society and where we are headed.I would not be at all suprised if our young children currently on holiday imitate the same events and mete out similar punishment on other young unsuspecting girls in copycat attacks.The cascade of events will continue and upon reaching a tipping point could result in greater social problems.The time to reclaim our national decency and respect of individual freedoms is now.
Behavioral psychologists can attest to the fact that societal norms and ethics are viewed and replicated in the civic interactions of the citizens. Any sense of complacency in dealing with the situation will be a tacit approve of the demeaning way the goons of #Embasava descended on the young lady.
The individuals involved in the attack on the lady should be identified,arrested and dealt with, with the cliche "full force of the law". I wonder how difficult it could be to identify the clowns bearing in mind there are video evidence of the barbaric acts of #Embasava.The person who took the video should also be arrested and dealt with.For those who think the video individual is not guilt,I wish to refer you to a phenomenon in USA called "bum-bashing" where young men beat up poor homeless people all for a round of laughs.It should be unacceptable to act like animals in a civilised society and we need to reclaim Kenya back from the dogs.Although the dogs will bark and hide behind vague,cultural inappropriateness of dress-code of the lady and other such things.We may not agree with others dress code but we have no right to force them to wear what we want them.Personally I don't like people who wear watches on their right arm,but I don't go around town enforcing my desires.
A society that does not believe in individual freedom and does not treat its womenfolk with respect is not one that should be encouraged.Its time that the government handled issues of individual freedom and liberties with the seriousness it deserves and restored pride in our constitution and way of life.Failure to this,lets expect a greater slide into anarchy and mob justice attitude.But the greater the slide,the higher the likelihood social problems will increase to an uncontrollable level.
The time to act against mob justice is now and the time to #BringbackKenya is now.
