"Terrorism" is almost cliche now! The term "terrorist" also doesn't shake us up, as much!
What is this world heading towards? Destruction and not construction? Or is it construction of a sinister world order! Of late, during the (religious) festivities in this part of the sub-continent, there have been incidents of targeted killings of religious minorities in Bangladesh. The state is doing it's best to control the volatile situation. Kashmir, in India is also seeing targeted killings of religious minorities! And this is not just in this part of the world. We have such incidents in almost every part of the world today - targeted killings of minorities - religious, ethnic or any other.
What is the aim of such terrorizing a section of the population? Political gains? Or is there more to it?
Terrorism take many forms.
Last week for more than 40 minutes a woman was harassed and then raped by a stranger on a commuter train in suburban Philadelphia in the presence of other passengers. It's been reported that some of the passengers were holding cellphones and videoing what was happening.
An employee of the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority who was in the vicinity as the train went past called police to report that “something wasn't right" with a woman aboard the train. NOT A SINGLE PERSON on the train called the police let alone intervened.
Fiston Ngoy, 35, has been charged with rape, aggravated indecent assault and related counts, according to Delaware County court records. Ngoy entered the US on a student visa in 2012, but remained in the country after his visa was terminated.........in other words he was in the country ILLEGALLY!!!!
To make it even worse court records show that Ngoy had been arrested numerous times and has two misdemeanor convictions, one of which is for sexual abuse for which he pleaded GUILTY!!!!!! He was sentenced to 120 days in jail. He was then placed in immigration detention in January 2018. But he remained in the country because it was ruled that his sex crime was not a "serious crime" that would make him eligible for deportation.
Upper Darby Police Superintendent Timothy Bernhardt said ""It's disturbing that there were definitely people on the L, and no one intervened or did anything to help this woman out," during an interview...he went on to say "I have no words for it. I just can't imagine seeing what you were seeing through your own eyes and seeing what this woman was going through that no one would step in and help her,"
This is NOT only emblematic of much of society today as Bernhardt expressed it is also emblematic of the US justice and immigration system. There has been a lot of talk about how the US immigration system is broken.....as an immigrant myself who is now a citizen I agree but not in the way pundits, politicians and the media say it's broken. An immigration system that doesn't REQUIRE the deportation of a violent sexual predator and terrorist is broken.
