Violence in Penang

These last few weeks we read the papers and watched them on tv almost every day. There were these bunch of thugs who bashed up a 19 year old boy at Gurney Drive just because he told them to stop disturbing a girl who is related to him.15 of them beat him up till he was unconscious.The boy's friends who were with him ran for their lives,what kind of useless friends are these. The boy was in a coma,brain-dead for several days until he finally passed away.One of the assailants was remorsefull and turned himself in to the police. Nine more were picked up later.Five more are being hunted. A few days after that incident another 18 year old boy was beaten up in Telok Kumbar because he protected an old man who was being abused. He broke his skull but he is still alive.No arrests have been made yet. What made them so violent and pitiless.Is it their upbringing or lack of religion or is it their lack of education ? If they had been brought up proper and decent they would respect other people.If their faith in their religion is strong they would not harm others who are innocent.If they had a decent education they would know what is right and what is wrong and would know the consequences of their deeds. The London bombings,I'll write about it later.
