How quickly we forget

May 14, 2013 Letters

Dear Editor,
How quickly we forget. The death of a minibus passenger after being beaten by a conductor is almost all but forgotten by most, except maybe for a few (yours truly included), and his family and friends.
I find it ridiculous that many persons sat in that bus and didn’t intervene in any way. All of those on the bus should be ashamed of themselves for not going to the aid of a fellow passenger.
The fact that a conductor could actually feel empowered to commit such an action points to his confidence in the fact that no one would confront him or intervene. It really says a lot about the character of those in the bus and it is a reflection of how low many persons have sunk. It is truly sad that many persons feel no compunction to assist a fellow human being attacked senselessly.
Even a pet dog would not stand by and watch his master or mistress being attacked.
My sympathies go out to the family and friends of the deceased, and I really hope they find a nice cellmate (the key word being “mate”) for the conductor who did this, eventually.
And those passengers who watched this unfold… shame on all of you!
