What punishments these devils deserve?

Just now I saw the movie Kalloori - directed by Balaji Sakthivel of Kathal fame. This movie disturbed me a lot and that's why I started to blog at this midnight, immd after watching this movie. The story was about a group of students belonging to a Govt Arts College in a village in southern Tamilnadu. Balaji has made the film quite lifelike and all the characters were well portrayed. Until the climax of the movie, I didn't find any unusual feel in me. The movie went well with a blend of friendship and love in a realistic way. I already knew that climax is about the Dharmapuri Bus burning incident. Even then I went ahead and saw it. It is good that director did not make the scene that much gory. I could not resist myself from thinking about the Dharmapuri incident while watching the scene in which the stupid party men set fire to the bus and burnt three lovely friends alive. I didn't find much difference between a bomb blast and this incident. The real incident happened when Jayalalitha was convicted in the Kodaikanal Pleasant Stay Hotel case.

Won't those irrational people think for a second before setting the fire? What if their sister or daughter were one among those students? What do these students had to do with JJ's conviction? (so many bad words flashing in my mind... :-| ) I wonder whether they stayed there for sometime and heard the hapless girls screaming inside the bus or not. I really pity those girls and their friends who happened to see their friends burning alive. Should they(party workers) be a human being, they should have tried to rescue the students at least after hearing their cries. After all, they are devils. :-(

I am just thinking about the extent to which the parents and friends of the casualties would have affected by this and cursed the people who set fire. I personally feel their prayers and curses were not answered though the Salem court issued death sentence to the three main accused and 7 years imprisonment to their accomplices. Nevertheless they deserve a more cruel punishment than death sentence which would serve as a warning to others also.

At the end of the movie, I shed some tears without my knowledge. Though it was after watching this movie, I hope my tear drops would reach the souls of the lifeless girls.
