In a democratic country, you are obliged to pay your fair share of costs for services, not sponge off the rest of the nation. You are free to protest, but not disrupt/obstruct the rest of the society, not damage or endanger property, life and limb, not attack and threaten security, etc, etc.
Democracy is not "anything goes", not the law of the jungle. The security forces may have over-reacted but there were threatening, some radical, mobs which had significantly out numbered the forces.
The instigators should be made to account for their actions in a court of law.
The murderers and their handlers should also face the court if you really want to bring all parties to justice. Knowing you, only one segment of people are responsible.
In a democratic society, due process, an independent investigation and a grounded decision determines responsibility. You are using the term "democratic" but proposing a dictatorial approach.
Rather than demagoguery, who don't you refute my points.
I'm saying that the murderers and their handlers should ALSO face the courts. In your head, only one type of people are responsible. You give a free pass to the ones who actually pulled the triggers and their handlers. I'm asking for all parties to bear whatever responsibility is theirs. Choose which one sounds more democratic, but I don't expect you to see the difference with your blinders on Herr Basemann.
Responsibility lies with:
- The Govt if they issued specific orders to shoot
- Police if they shoot without clear orders or due cause/imminent danger
- Instigators/inciters who misled, encouraged, egged on protestors
- Protestors if they broke the law and threatened property, life or limb.
An investigation is warranted to determine what went wrong, where the blame lies, appropriate action(s) and how to prevent a recurrence. Now, is that inclusive enough?
