Just saw on TV that at the end of once event the youth around looted all the icereams from poor Walls Iceream vendors. That isa very disturbing behaviour of us as a nation. I am sure majority of the people present there did not participate but they should have spoken up and tried to stop that. Keeping quite is a bigger crime morally than actually committing it. Just think it can happen to us or our loved ones. We need to speak up at the moment or be prepare for the worst.
