Briefly, a robber came in in to the Mutt in the wee hours of Sunday and murdered a woman who raised an alarm regarding the robbers presence. The robber, who was wielding a knife, was later overpowered, and, according to the news report above, was beaten up by the other people present there to the extent that he was struggling for life by the time the cops arrived. He later died at a local hospital.
Such needless violence is really sad. While the use of force might have been needed to overpower the robber who was threatening violence, the needless beating him up to death is really sad. True religion is only about spreading unconditional love and ahimsa. Beating up of a person to death, and that too after overpowering him is simply uncalled for. This is the sad state of most religious institutions, no matter which religion. They exist purely as a form of entertainment. Most of them seem to have no clue about ahimsa or non-violence being the highest truth.
Can we all change this? Can we recognize every single part of us that is violent and eliminate all of them, instead of being lost in all kinds of crazy practices in the name of religion, no matter which religion it is that we are brought up to believe?
