Keenan Santos could be you

I appreciate that all feel strongly on the subject, and indeed it is good we do, or we’d be a little less human. However, you are going to stop the personal attacks, or this comments on this post will be closed. Everyone has a right to think whatever they think and express it. You have to respect that on this blog.

ohhhhhh my god!!!!!!! fuck india especially after reading that those ************* are getting political support. so disgusted at this.

nothing good is gonna happen to this country. So much agony after reading this. feels so pathetic, so ashamed that i live in such a country. Currently, i have been living in australia for the past three years and now m a resident over there. I and my other indian friends over their have this dialouge from rang de basanti, “koi bhi desh perfect nahi hota, use banana padta hai” very common among us. We always think that one day India will become a better country, (free from corruption). But where people cannot even live safely, then thinking about the country progressing and developing in other fields is a thing that should not even be thought about. we talk about our system saving us from terrorist attacks, hahaha, they cant even save us from local thugs and goons. literally my heart is sobbing at the moment. I wish something could have been done to our system………………………………………

Words cannot describe how devastating it is to hear this news.  It is sad to hear that crowds of people were watching two guys getting murdered right in front of their eyes.  It is times like these that makes me wonder what has the world come to, that we can just stand around and not help someone who is in great danger?  Pathetic.  For future reference, if a situation like this were to occur again, THINK. what if the person was your father/mother, husband/wife, son/daughter,uncle/aunt, or brother/sister?  Would you still be watching on the side and not helping?  My prayers go out to Keenan’s and Reuben’s  families, May God be with you in this tragic time and fill the void that is burdening your hearts.  Justice will be served. 

People in india and as an india are weak and fearful and just like they call it in bhai log language FATU…. Understadning not fighting or getting ni middle of it but not helping them after everyone left is just a shame…wear some bangles.. as for the goons and ministers of india and all are in one word biggest scumbags on earth… Our ministers are such scumbags that even terrorist are more faithful to what they do then the ministers… and i have no doubt that these people are gonna go free for sur enad if not they will just like that vikas yadav guy will keep filing paperworks and keep getting out of jail for one reason or another… to the parents of the deceased u r notgoing to get justice and i would recommemd doing something yourself like they do in movies and save u r self some time and money and get more satifsfaction… this blogs and news paper and all only know how to write they will not do anything for you…..

I totally agree with u, Mr. Anon… It seems we are so ‘up in arms against injustice’, that if someone even
suggests an alternative approach to a similar situation in future; we will label them cowards or silly or
shameless. These so called vehement supporters of brute bravado against eve-teasers and  ‘Standing up for
whats right’ kinda people are just venting. Ah; yes…”what wud u do if the same happened to ur mom/sis/gf?”
seems to be a talking point for them. Arrey Bosss…atleast understand in what context one is suggesting
discretion to be the better part of valour . But nope…now that would make them appear spineless cowards.
And any parent who advises his/her child to walk away does not respect the woman kind …right guys??
Not once has Mr. Anon set any aspertions on the actions of Mr. Keenan (God bless his truly brave soul in
Heaven). Okay..so a drunk [forget “falls” on; I’ll say for a fact]molests ur GF; ur in group of abt 6-7 at the
moment outnumbering the drunks trio. So I agree; in the heat of the moment and please NOT BECOZ we
have the fairer sex for company; any hot blooded male wud respond the way Avinash did … I wud
too,probably(though I agree with Mr. Anon that in hindsight or future similar incidents with my mom/sis/gf/wife
I would/should hav just shoved the guy away ; infact even make sure the guy has his bearings in order and
help him out so as to prevent him from falling on some other guy/gal along the way out….or I should just kill
him so he can never get back at me or my family). But in this unfortunate incident the drunk is an actual
gunda who probably gets his kicks getting into such altercations. So I’ll say for a fact ; the goon already
humiliated by the slap in front of his sidekicks shows off whose boss by hurling verbal abuses towards the girl
in question. Mr. Reuben (may he RIP) joins in and lands another tight one on him…DESERVEDLY SO. Now the
local goon ; on the brink of becoming the laughing stock among his minions flares his nostrils and dares this
group of friends to stand their ground while he returns with his army to give it back to them. Now this is
where I have a real problem with this whole incident. A guy has moletsted a girl for which he has been
slapped twice and at the point in time instant justice has been meted out. If the girl still felt that this was not
compensation enough for outraging her modesty…the group should have immediately approached the
nearest police station with the inabbreviated goon in tow. They outnumbered these gundas anyways.That
would have been THE right thing to do . If you believe in vigilante justice ;u should be prepared when it is
meted out to you…Now,now…before some one goes off on a tangent; I am not saying this is justice being
meted out by the goons; thats what vigilantism is …the bigger group feels…believes what they are doing is
right and thats why they are able to carry out such heinous acts without any remorse. Ergo there is no
difference between the goon and the girl; forget the guys. Yeah; I know I’m already being hated for saying
this. But this was one oppurtunity where the girl could have done the right thing even after the goon was
slapped. She had the resources. But obviously we want to revel in our act of bravery…and mind you Bravery
it is. Please try and understand the viewpoint. Nobody is denying what happened to girl was wrong.Nobody is
denying what Avinash and Reuben did was wrong. Anyone would / could do that…it could happen with / to
anyone. But once that happened ; then what?? Oh, yes the path of Bravery once tread upon can seldom be
undone.  The group has been threatened by the goons that they will be back to “square things up”. Good
sense would atleast warrant to ensure the safety of the girls in the group. Okay ‘ u have done the right
thing;the brave thing; great !!!. WALK AWAY… ATLEAST NOW;WALK AWAY FROM CONFLICT. At this moment
the issue of eve-teasing has already been dealt with.If the group felt that the eve-teasing incident had not
been dealt with in kind; then for GOD’s sake ; why not go to the cops at that point? WHAT THE F*** were they
waiting at the same spot  for  ? But ofcourse…The path of Bravery once tread upon can seldom be undone.
Why should we be afraid and flee this spot? We live in a free country; we have done no wrong ? And I’ve got
the guts to stand  my ground in front of those A**h****? Let him come ; I’ll land a couple more blows on
him…I dont need the cops; I showed him before; I’ll show him again. But my friend ; when u go down this path
u have follow only one principle. DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE YOUR OPPONENT. The girl who was molested
surely must have felt a rush when her friend slapped the goon. But madam; with all due respect; that was the
time to approach the law ; not when they gutted ur BF. I know ; shame on me for saying this; its horrendously
rude. But you knew your friends were right in slapping the basterd; you should have involved the law at that
point in time. But at that point in time ; u didnt. Why? The point is slapping the molester was justified; but
then waiting outside for a period of time (not for them to return; But to reassure urselves we are not afraid of
anyone? ) was a bad judgement call. Now is this the bravery that is expected from every family man??My
heart bleeds for Keenan who got sliced for actually doing the bravest act of all.  The outrage in this incident should not be on the eve-teasing part. That was taken care of before the gutting
of the brave souls. That a group of goons can just come and slice up anyone without any fear of
consequence is what should shock us.If one had slapped the eve-teaser and then even fled away with the girls to safety would that be termed as
cowardice?  Then maybe people like me are definitely spineless cowards. Considering the number of blogs
I’ve read advocating violence towards the goons or resorting to violence when one of our own is molested; I
would have thought by now all these brave people wud have taken hold of the police station where the
accused is held and chopped him up.Don’t whats stopping these brave souls who rather kill and die for their woman’s honour? Oh wait ; but now that the accused is behind bars we will whine about
our system / our police / our country. Now we will not take the law into our own hands or resort to vigilantism.
But hey, if a group of 4 goons molest my mom in public I rather die standing my ground beating the shit
outta them. Coz thats the brave thing to do, right? If i put me n her in a rick n flee away ; Im such a frickin
coward!!Yeah; we all love escapist movies. But this debate sounds like the guys who have taken the moral highground
saying ” Hey what? U didn’t like Baghban – the movie ” and then thinkin ” Oh… he must not love his parents!!”
WTFSTOP Being judgemental of others. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

God give me d courage lyk dat of keenan-reuben…morover is it gona do any gud by jst showng our suport on facebook n twiter..smthng gud can only hapen if v c smthng lyk ths hapening in frnt of us n v stand against it..den is d only use of all ths..n im going to stnd against it..
its beter to die bravly rathr to live cowardly..

Living in the country of eunuchs! All those cheap b@$#% who think they will get away dont think that Keenan and Reuben are dead. They have multiplied in all of us. Will fight back with the same force and courage as they did if there’s any such incident. Let the Eunuchs keep watching and protecting the criminals.

you know what… India is filled with scumbags like these… even educated people.. little do they have any respect for women.. and eve teasing.. its everywhere, all across the country.. from the point a girl steps outside her home.. either it be a young man or a old rougue.. they keeping looking like they have never seen a girl before.. even when a girl is wearing proper indian shalwar kameez with full sleeves.. they look like.. wish i get a piece of her.

What is important is for the people to accept the responsibility.. the responsibility of leading the nation to be better than what it is today. Attitude of people in our country is like.. “hame kya padi hain”. How many of you writing comments have never teased a girl walking on road or in your class room or anywhere.. how narrow is the thinking of the people.. ‘ek ladki ne tight jeans pehni.. kehtey hain.. ye character less hain’
Seriously the thinking of the people should change.. nothing will change till then..

The role of media.. talk about the hot topic for few day.. until the TRP’s are high.. their attitude after that” who cares about what has happened or if justice is done or not, TRP’s are what we need”.

Film industry… exploitation tow yahi se shuru hoyi hain.. har movie mein galiya do.. ladki ko shedo.. batamizi karo.. yahi sekhatey hain. Don’t the actors know that they have a huge impact on the people in India.. how they behave, what they show.. even they……… all they want is to make money.. kiski ki hume kya..

” LIFE IS BLOODY CHEAP IN THIS COUNTRY ” – someone has rightly said below.Believe me THIS IS AMONG THE WORST POSSIBLE COUNTRY IN THE WORLD.EVERY STREET IS FULL OF GOONS AND ALL THIRD WORLD ELEMENTS.
PLEASE LEAVE THIS COUNTRY FOR YOUR SAFETY,INDIA DOES NOT DESERVE US.

best thing is kill them on d spot those who do wrong so that they next time no one does that by know that they kill on d spot n no one will do it an all is done by d cm son,s or d mp sons,or d ips son,s an that is y they r leaving freely if small person does than he is put to jail for years n they r been harassed n they r put to death but who ever has done this will lead a good life, no never already the peace is gone they will die a worse death i seen with my own eyes like this kind people when they travels they bang d car into a tree or they go deep into d mountains an they get finish some of them they come out with their half d body out from d fallen place so don’t think it is easily over just because yr father or godfather is with you u have to give yr answer in this world n now after five days not more than that.just see it.  
 

What happened to kenan and reuben was shocking and more shaocking was what followed afterwards.AS a country we have failed, as a citizen we should hang our heads in shame for being mute spectator as 2 innocent people were buthcered to death. As politicians they hsould be gutted in tandoors for showing solidarity and support to such kind of criminals…I feel sad today to see such downgrade of humanity ..:(

Along with the goons, the bystanders should also be prosecuted or sued out of their minds. This is the law in many countries.

The public in India is as good as heel of a shoe.  They live in filth, watch bollywood movies to escape this filth for few hours and then are back to the filth. By filth I mean this routine corruption etc..

The college/school where these youths went to school should organize protests. Involve UN as this breaches “Humane Laws.”  Each citizen should carry some form of protection with them – “Pepper Spray” and Use it.

I have another idea-Create a FB/Twitter group – “Help! Mumbai”. Each time a person is in this situation will simply send a tweet for help and their location. People that are following this Twitter Group/Facebook Group will come to Rescue.  We really need strong bravehearts. Strenght in numbers.

And I am crying, Crying without tears. I make a promise here.. “I will change this.. I will… “

Keenan R.I.P and I hope Reuben stays safe…seriously der is no need of being physical…laws are made…deyll tke care of it….it all leads to such cases…dis is not the first case….there are so many cases pending….and are still out of justice…watever incident happened was sad and a lesson leqarning one… i hope next tym others would be alert enough!!!
stay alert,stay safe…. 🙁

these are the things govt must think on, else thinking on rebuilding Mumbai sea shore ,which is already beautiful, make the society beautiful

what the heck is going on!!! where, which direction we are heading to?!? Country is getting ruled by corrupted leaders, womens not safe to go out on the streets,innocent guys getting killed by murderer gansta that too everything so openly!! I wonder! what’d those onlookers were doing, and what will they do when the same rana’s, would do the same thing with their mother,girlfriend or a sister infront of their own Eyes!where is the value of human life security left in the city?  Mumbai Police has to take some serious action against the brutality suffered and paid by keenan and Reuben.If not now then Never! Unity is the best policy.we all need to get our act together if nothing works out! Feels Proud for the BraveHearts(which we ‘hv very few & now 2 more less) and condolences of the Huge loss by their Family and nearndearones. I pray to god,those Goons should be punished asap for what they ‘hv done!!! but shouldn’t be able to escape out of this scene!!!!! May Keenan and Reuben soul rest in peace. Amen.

for those who want to know a little more about Brave Keenan, he truly stood up for what he believed is right and as should everyone.Sadly time’s have changed but it is encouraging to know that men like Keenan and Reuben did what they had to in the time of desperation.Many will misconstrue my posts saying they preach no-violence etc, but thats wrong. I too would consider myself lucky if i died fighting for justice and for that what is right especially if it meant saving other’s lives, much preferred over cancer or never waking up from my sleep.Point’s i have brought forward, i can assure you are not undermining the actions of the two brave boys.

If everyone is really serious about taking action, those who are already bent on taking violent action i wont try and deter you, those who feel strongly and are wishing to do something to bring justice to Keenan and Reuben, i suggest you take out a rally and protest the minister’s involvement in the case and also denounce the lack of action by the cops(though its not their fault, they are pressurised) AND you and everyone else who supports the cause goes on a “NO VOTE UNTIL JUSTICE IS SERVED” campaign. This will give you strength that simply shouting “Justice” will not. Quite frankly our entire system needs a fundamental inspection and change.

And to whom so ever this concerns, Bravery/Heroism/Courage/Respect are important even beyond wealth and success. But Bravery in the hand’s of an Idiot is Stupidity and for all those who have posted that real men with balls should stand up fight and retaliate without ‘considering the consequences’ for a matter that could be ‘prevented from escalating’ then you talk and think exactly the way the murderer and this goon’s did. The murderer molested a girl, the guys beat him up, he did exactly what you said, he used all the madness and courage in his balls and came back with henchmen and swords. Does that help you understand that people suggesting something for other’s to avoid meeting the same fate is not a moral science lesson? Or do you still believe that being a ‘ Hot Head ‘ and proving that i am stronger than you is more important ? Its a good thing you aren’t in the army because you could be the reason an entire nation goes to war. My mother was stabbed in the shoulder in broad daylight over 20 years ago in mumbai for her mangalsootra and NOBODY came to help her and when she told me this story, of course my blood was boiling, i asked her mom why didn’t you tell me earlier ? She said “son, today i feel comfortable telling you about this because i believe you will asses the situation better and even if you do chase those criminals who stabbed me 20 years ago, then you will know the consequences for your actions”. Im not saying what Keenan and Reuben did was wrong, they were brave and stood up for the right cause and saved other’s lives and i wish their sacrifice does not go in vain and that justice prevails(either within or beyond the norms of the law). But people need to realise that not everything can or should be handled with physical or verbal violence because you and i know, all over our country and maybe even all over the world, everyone believes they can just hit someone, like when there’s a road accident, people just start hitting the driver but thats not right, more than often a innocent person is beaten up and then those people on the road disappear and nobody is held responsible just the way these goons have disappeared from this event.

I won’t feel sorry for the loss of your son becoz I am
very proud that they have done a very good job. They are real heroes like the
army man who fight at the border battle and die. So they can be called as
Shahid.

Now I don’t want people to just read and then click on like
comment or do any such stupid thing becoz all ppl can do is like or comment on
someone’s comment.

If you really don want any more Ruben Or Keena Santos to die then
come out of your house and form a group against Eve teasers. If we start a
group and have at least 20-30 people in each area then eve teasing matters won’t
come up whether it is schools or colleges or workplaces whatsoever.

We juz need to start a forum or an organization where strong
ppl can come up who can fight with guys like these who do such things in open
public. No matter whatever the consequences happen later. Do not think about
that but we need to teach such hooligans a lesson. If we do once twice or
thrice the next time such ppl will think 10-100 times before even staring at a
female.

This is not the first time such incident has happened and we
Indians have a habit to always blame cops for that for not taking action. Why
the fuck should we blame them always and why the crowd. The crowd must be knowing
by the dressing sense of these guys who got killed that they are from big
families and their parents will do anything to take them out of this mess.
Thinking in that manner the crowd must have backed off.

If you check day before yesterday’s newspapers the crime
rate in Mumbai has become high. The second comes Delhi and this is only on
females most of the time. But the answer is Y Y Y…. Y only Ladies, oldies. Young
gals all the time. Becoz they do not fight the way foreigners do. If all Indian
ladies, gals and oldies learn some physical things or how to defend themselves
then it would be good for their entire life. They need to grow up their nails,
need to learn to fight, if someone is eve teasing then pick up a bamboo or an
iron rod and beat those guys then and there. Do not think about the results.
Teach them a lesson. Once the girl does it alone the public comes in on its own
for support if the female is alone. Cops wont come every time to help you even
if they are there.

Now a days if you watch TV9 News channel you must have seen
that there are many issues which the chawl ppl are experiencing from past so
many yrs. But all we do is juz blame the government and nothing else. We need
to stand up and fight against it but only thing we do is juz comment on
Facebook, Twitter and that is done. But that is not enough. We need to go to
that area see the people how do they live, how they survive and help them out.
If you require help from the locals learn to help them in return.

Ppl living in chawls are not getting even proper drinking or
bathing water. They do not have proper toilets; they have to pay more than 300
Rs everyday juz to get buckets of water. Do the building ppl pay that much
amount or help these poor people to come and take the water from their own house.
The answer is NO you don’t. If you really want to help someone then these are
the things we all need to follow.

1. Start an organization where 20-30 strong volunteers can
come in each area. The number can be much more this is the minimum I am saying.
 (Strong Females also included)

2. This 30 ppl should be from that particular area and
should be in charge from Churchgate to Mumbai central. So 3 stations. Anywhere
any problem these 30 ppl should come forward with all the things like hockey
sticks, bamboos iron rods and everything. Also First aid should be available
with them and they should fight with such guys who do such eve teasing things.

3. We need like this in every 3 stations. (Harbour, Western
and Central) People specially Ladies should come forward to help and be a part
of it. We need Lawyers from Supreme and High court to help us like if we are
fighting and anything happens to the eve teasers then to save our friends.

4. We need people who can’t come forward then they can send
us funds in order to build up our organization so that we can buy sophisticated
and latest equipment’s for protection.

5. We also need local ppl from Chawls for help. For that
reason we need to help them in their personal problems also like water not
coming in their houses, water logging, BMC not picking up the waste and
everything near their house whatsoever etc. etc. their problems we need to help
them.

We are young youth. If we do not come forward and fight and just
blame on the government then nothing can happen. All we do is just blame them
and write comments on FB and if someone writes then we click on Like and
nothing else.

People juz say we need to do something but juz by saying
this nothing can happen. Come forward form an organization and start it. I can
assure you more than 5000 college students will come forward it we start an anti-eve
teasing organization.

We just need to distribute them in each and every area where
they stay so that its easier for them to reach out soon if any such activity
happens.

Second thing females learn some physical activities. We also
need some trainers who can teach ladies, aunties, females boxing, martial arts,
kickboxing and all such things that can help them.

We need to make banners and stick them in each and every
area so that the people are aware. The Banners and their contact numbers should
be for that particular area only I mean juz those 3 stations. One person gets
the call he can send a sms to those 20-30 ppl of that particular area to get
ready and bring all the gears for fight.

Note:  (Females &
Males you have time to go out on a date but we need to take out time for this
also. Its our society and we need to keep it safe and clean. Aunties and Uncles
if we spend some time on physical activities it would be good and juz missing 1
day TV programme or a drinking session with Friends. Oldies rather then
gossiping about whats happening in someone’s house or going to temples and
Satsangs and Church or Masjid if we spend juz 5 hrs in a week on training it
would be beneficial

In this way we can try to protect our Mumbai. Fund providers
can give funds by seeing the performance of the organization. This way we can
have a clean and free Mumbai from any such anti-social elements. I apologize if
my English is not good but juz thing fellows if we can start this. It would be
a great boon to the Indian Society.

Its a real pity those kids were killed and hope God gives their parents courage and strength.Jesus Christ taught us”Donot be afraid of those who can kill the body but cannot kill the soul  rather be afraid of God who can destroy both  body and soul  in hell.”Have faith,these boys will be seated at the right hand of Jesus along with the angels in heaven.May this sorrow bring you all closer to Christ and remember how he died for us.Spend more time in prayer.Your comfort will come from Christ who said “I will be with you till the end of the age”.can somebody pls pass this message to the bereaved families?

Panwalla shop owner was a witness so also restaurant workers where they went to see the cricket match as they are local boys as they came within minutes of the incident to attack Kenan and his friends.
What took the police to take action against them immediately.
Its a vote bank….. vote vote vote….and let us die for it.

I cant get over it… thinking about the incident… My heart felt sympathy to both the parents of Ruben and Keenan..  We have lost… our dear ones… May their Souls Rest in Peace. I know what is a personal loss when we loose dear ones in an unpredicted incident. I lost my 22 year old son Avy 3 years back in Karwar who had been on holidays with his friends. Post Mortem reported axphalsia.. The goons are still freely roaming the mumbai roads.No results, no investigations… I weep when I write to you as I share your sorrows with mine.  Lets prays.. and prayers will give us strength. We are still pondering as to what happened to our son Avy…
 

my heartfelt condolenses to reuben n keenan ..its really touching to know dat they were murdered so brutally..time n again its proved in mumbai no one comes to help u ween u r in need of it….but really proud of these two kids who stood there n fought against it ..i wish thse culprits shld face severe punishment…rip

I was watching times now LIVE.. and Mr. Santos clearly mentioned that no politician helped him a bit and what ever was in the Afternoon news paper is all rubbish facts and complete non sense… This politician just wants this goons who stays in his locality cleared from all charges so that they can work for him and support all his wrong doings, thats all a politician wants a criminal who can threaten innocent people and bow down before these useless politicians… the heights off all the politician Ashok Bhau Jadhav did in order to get fame was that he distributed pamphlets outside the church after keenans funeral mentioning on the pamphlets that he helped the family and was there all the time… Bullshit theses politicians should be kicked by their butt “assholes”…. Really shocked by this incident. HOW CAN SOME 1 TAKE A LIFE OF AN INNOCENT PERSON? WHERE ARE THE COPS WHY DO THEY SLEEP? 
Thanks to the media and the people around the world, people of mumbai for their support for keenan and Reuben and hope justice be given soon. We all should hope that all the 4 main accused to be hanged to death and not given life in prisonment because behind bars they will get all the best treatment by politician Ashok Bhau Jadhav.

Common man needs to take law in his hands .. If I am in such a situation i will make sure before i DIE I take some of these with me … 

police will not do anything 
politicians definitely wont and people around they get to watch a LIVE show what else would they want .. 

The boys did the right thing helping there friend.. thats what friends do.. people who say avoid this or that will they avoid if their sis or mother is teased or molested .. Will they say do what you want to and AVOID it all 

No wonder the goons have upper hand they know this i what people do, if you stand up to them they leave we indians have this mentality never stand up for anything .. we did not stand up against the british and got ruled when a few took up arms we called them terrorists.. 

how can 13 people come and kill two and people keep watching PATHETIC..  why leave it to police or someone else ..
Really Sad this has happened 

What do you do if you get molested.. well get a gun and shoot the bastard.. and the answer if you see HA.. no one does anything never have never will… 

we are a nation who beleive that if we have a child he should be like Mahatama Gandhi and if neighbours have a son he chould be Bhagat singh or chandrashekhar Azaad for its them who will suffer 🙂 

Comments From B, C, & D and probably many others said, they would not have got into a fight. Think of it this way, what if you were standing with your sister or wife or mother..and this incident happened to you. would you just walk out of it..
Last night 2nd November, My friend travelling from Kandivali to Charni road @9pm in a ladies first class, where the ladies 1st class and 2 nd class is seperated by a see through partition, the train stops midway just before dadar arrives, there are these 3-4 goons who get into the ladies second class compartment with knives and choppers, they looted the ladies present in the compartment (my friend assumed there were about 10-12 ladies presnt in second class and she was alone in the first class) they robbed their chains money mobiles whatever they could, also tore one of the ladies dress as she refused to give them money..Luckily my friend closed all the doors of the compartment and as she reached dadar got in to the gents compartment.
How many such cases do happen in trains but today im concern because it happened to someone near and dear to me.
Don’t wait for soemthing to happen to your loved one’s its better to act now.
Post this to as many as possible and write to as many newspaper and media as possible, Sacrifice of Reuben and Keenan wont go Unnoticed.

My blood is boiling.. im filled with rage… i feel lik  m gona xplode …
i wana burn alive those responsible …. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
whose with me !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Which politician are supporting the criminals? can u give the specific which politician are supporting the criminals?

while I am really sorry for Keenan and Rueben’s fate and appreciate that only few people would have the guts to stand up against molestors and goons .. however, I seriously think some of the comments sympathising the incident are misplaced … India is not the best country nor is it the worst in terms of quality of society… people get killed by muggers even in developed countries, women get whipped for just driving a car in some Arab nations and there is little value of human life in most of the 3rd world/developing countries like ours be it Pakistan, China, South America, Africa … I am not trying to trivialise the incident but one should not start blaming the country or society for not doing/harbouring such rogue elements in our cities … I think life is too precious to risk on taking up a fight with a drunk guy at 1am in a lawless neighbourhood (anywhere in the world!) … such things border on bravado and stupidity … fellows, if you really believe in standing up for issues of other people there are millions of other reasons (corruption, human rights, plight of farmers, education) in India which are of much greater seriousness than showing bravado in front of some junk guys!

please encourage everyone to stop patronising this reataurant ‘amboli’ at amboli . if they could not stand for their regular patrons just a small thig we can do to make  these guys feel the city’s ire against them.
My condolences to the families and as all souls day happened yesterday may their souls rest in peace.
Also a lesson for us not to linger around after teaching such treachorous people who have no fear of anything. there’s a fine line between admonishing the terror maniacs and then staying in their field of vision to aggravate things. if Somebody had guided them to leave the place immidiately some of this could have been averted.
our system is still not equipped to defend the right so we have to defend ourselves as life has no value here. we ourselves are our own protectors , not the cops , nor the government.

This is so unbelievable. Thank you for sharing this.

There are too many comments to reply individually. I appreciate you taking the time to read, and make your response known in the conversations around this incident. I am reading all comments, even if I may not reply. I value your voices, because this is the one big plus we do have in our favor – the very human shock, compassion and outrage – that magnifies our voice so that an indifferent machinery cannot drown it.

I think it is situations like this when we are forced to look deep within and see ourselves for what we are. Often, we don’t like what we see, and sometimes we prefer to blame the world and keep pretending that we didn’t see it… because it hurts too much to see ourselves as those we do not respect. It takes courage to face it and be different, and not everyone has it.

I have no reply to the people who are insisting that what I am writing is false. I think the words speak their truth. They don’t need me to defend anything. I said what I said.

OH MY GOD,This is a shocker.I literally had goosebumps reading this.I have had so many bad arguments with strangers.This issue- where two guys were killed in a public place with tons of witnesses over PROTECTING a girl from a CHEAP MOLESTER is SICK.Nowadays it seems like we are proud to be wrong and ashamed to be right.The rickshaw wallas calling a strike because they were busted for tampering their meters and bringing the PUBLIC on their knees,govt bending over to help them exploit us further and now supports those killers with lawyers.
Recently I saw MAUSAM and the think that sat with me was those JERKS who were walking on the streets burning people as if its their god given right to kill people in the name of religion.
Everywhere you go BRUTALITY,we have all become selfish ANIMALS.
While boarding a train we stamp on people who are fallen and don’t help them up and dont even feel ashamed about it.Infact,WE BLAME THEM for not jumping out of the train before it reaches to a stop,because we are in HURRY.ME,ME,ME that all WE care about.

I am ashamed of myself first because I too am obsessed in my own world to interfere in other people’s matters.If we want thing to change now,WE NEED TO START THINKING ABOUT US and NOT ME.

Today,it was them…I dont want to wait for a tommorow where its’ ME.’
BURN in HELL you killers,and HEAVEN and HELL Both are on EARTH.WE the PUBLIC need to FIGHT for Right.STOP becoming bystanders.

Giselle.
saranna_daze@yahoo.co.in: LET me know how I can help in getting them justice.

I’d rather fight and kill or die than live like a bystander seeing someone molesting my friend or family member. 

these pieces of Sh*T goons..should be rounded up…kept in the midde of the street and each of the family members of both these brave and wonderful men…should be handed a gun!!….and slowly…very slowly…they should be shot…first make them suffer…a bullet to the leg, then to the hand then to the shoulder…and finally…straight to the head!!…

.RIP Reuben and Keenan!..and wonderful post Vidyut!…

the road to justice is long and painful, but it is not impossible. Please do not loose hope, and fight for justice. There are plenty of people who would be willing to fight the cause, please collaborate with them, form a group and fight. Take help of national news channels, I know most of them are paid, but still they are looking for good stories and still some of them are honest.

What has happened is unfortunate, but If justice doesn’t happen now, it would be even more unfortunate.

and for people who are giving moral science lecture about do this or that, F*** Off and hide in your Mumma’s lap. Teach your kids to be brave, respect is most important in life and proud of these boys who fought like real Men. I would have done the same and expect my son to do the same too !

on the other side, people should start carrying gun’s now for self defense.

cheers to you Vidyut….for doing something you have the power to do!!

sad state of affair

THIS NATION OF COWARDS DOESNT DESERVE ‘MEN’ LIKE KEENAN AND REUBEN – NOTHING HAS CHANGED SINCE MY COUSIN WAS MURDERED AND IT WAS ALL IN THE NEWS – LIFE IS BLOODY CHEAP IN THIS COUNTRY AND ALL IT DOES IS CREATE AND WATCH TAMASHA WHETHER ON THE STREET OR A BLOODY NON SENSE ON TV LIKE BIG BOSS – THIS IS A SOCIETY STEEPED IN THE CRASS AND IMPOTENT! FIE FIE FIE

I was so angry when i heard this news! It seems the common man has become the most expendable commodity… the rich folks can buy anything they want and the lower classes dont have anything to lose….so both dont care!!

Who Ever has written this seems to be a good narrator and i am pretty sure ul get good work in the film industry….but i am not sure if ul earn as much as u earn from you blogging thing (world wide web u see ) no of visitors and all tht …dude u have enough brain to blog but u forgot to do ur home work …after reading wht ever happened specially written by you ..i was surpised . thr ‘s some one who died and ur making it dramatic  and filmy ….its not a film its life …and ya u ve described it as if u were right there standing and watching what happened …”onlookers” like a cowered… and why dint u do your home work….. in ur article u mentioned  an MLA”s name  .first of all make sure if it was an MLA or an MP . cos u mention it  as an MLA in the beginning of the article and MP at the end …..who was it was it an MLA OR MP ? just cross check with ur article .u dnt seem to be sure ….and blogging is not enough keep in touch with current affairs read news papers …..cos Mr.MLA has helped the victim ….read the statement given by the victims family …….

.And guys this is not to favor some body these ppl have made it a business they write any thing and every thing to  provoke ppl  but there should a base and we people are not dumb to blindly follow wht u wrote in ur filmy style suspense thriller story ..be a human being first .i feel really sorry for wht happened..the saddest part is no one came for help …why cnt we human’s help each other, till when are we gonna be selfish …..we all need to join hands and stand in each others support to make our country a better place to stay and if we dont thn…..people like this ,gundas ,rowdy’s ,,,,,,and thr corrupt side of our country ………..sab milkar desh ko demak ke tarha kha jayenge ….we people should join hand and stand against s  such thing ………we need an ANNA  HAZARE  in every thing to set things right ..we all should realise before its too late 

@531428d0e4adfcef6de7fe11e3161afa:disqus  and anyone else who has a problem with facts presented here. I have published a rebuttal of the Afternoon articles (there are two, not one) here http://aamjanata.com/afternoon-dispatch-and-courier-covering-up-amboli-attack/ Please stop flooding the comments and go there with any data you may have.

 We all know the disparity between what is reported and what actually happens so please be considerate enough not to insult the intelligence of people who care enough to give the common public the lowdown of what actually transpired.
Four months ago a responsible young aspiring pilot who was an upstanding citizen of society was projected by the papers as irresponsible and ‘heavily drunk’ only to be rectified once the post-mortem showed no alcohol in his system.
The political system is a sham and newpapers can be bought. And how is this MLA helping the family? By ensuring that the wrongdoers are detained for A WHOLE 14 DAYS?? After this whole incident happened in public among a throng of witnesses?

Clearly, we must bow our heads in respect to the system. It is just and we are lucky to have it.

Kindly check “Afternoon Newspaper” which clearly states that MLA Ashok Bhau Jadhav has been helping the family with police and hospital processes and that he was there from the beginning to the end. Author Vidhyut should write responsibly after having a complete in & out knowledge of the story …. Rather then sensationalising the issue by connecting it to politics.

This will be dealt with soon

i read in a newspaper that the RESTAURANT officials have said that the CCTV was not working wen dis happnd…….its really sad…..in india human life has no value……

Congrats India , you showed yet again that justice can be sold for cash and votes. Luckily the international media has not heard this story yet or else India would have had to give reasons as they have been doing since 1947

Reuben and keenan ……………. i am greatly touched by your story and what happened to you guys. I dont have words to express how bad i feel for your family and friends. you guys battled for your life and stood fearlessly for what was right.  I believe if the people around you watching what was happening if they could have come forward to help you guys and then probably we would have two brave heroes still with us. i hope we get justice and those heartless and mercyless rascals should get the worst punishment and i personally want them to suffer 100 times more what you guys went through. I dont want that your sacrifice to go in vain. i know what would happen as per law they might get released and they might roam around killing more innocents but if court cannot do justice….. i am sure God above who love you guys so much and missed you so much , called you to be with him…………. knows and would definetly do justice. we  all love you and pray for your family and friends to come out of this shock and May Your Soul Rest In Peace.

Ye shahar ye gali ab nahin lagti suhaani,
Har gharaunda ab ek khandhar sa lagta hai
Samajhta tha main ke log zinda hain yahan par
Lekin ye murdon ka bas jamghat sa lahta hai,

Kash ke ye log Zinda hote, yun na hote, beraham
Kash ke ye log zinda hote, dekh sakte ye sitam
Is lahoo ko dekh sakte jo beh gaya insaan ka, bewajaz
Ye jahan bemurravat lashon ka samandar sa lagta hai!

Is sitam ko dekh kar bhi, gar lahoo na Uble tumhaari
Tum bhi murda ho unhi lashon ki tarha,beraham
Bas bhaa dene se do Aansoo nahin badlega khuch,
Inquilabi rang hi bas ek hal sa lagta hai!
                                                         …………Dilip Kumar….
                                                   Unko mera sandesh pahunche jo so rahe hain!

Well by the information this man is really  someone who works for the Andheri MLA .If he was just a goon, then Keenan’s family would have won the case but as the MLA is supporting him, even if the family wins the case , the MLA due to this influence will try to get him out. It this happens then as a common man, there will be only one solution left-ie to remove a rally as it was in Jessica Lal’s case. And if we do that , it will work to a great extent bcos in Jessica’s case , it was the MP’s son and even witnesses were less, well as here this fellow is just a goon and we have witness. Lets just pray that justice be done

This is shocking. May their souls rest in peace and may their families get the justice they rightly deserve. I don’t live in India but I’m from Mumbai and it’s heart rending to read about what’s happening there.
I’ve blogged my views about this and linked your post to it – http://ephemeralimpressions.blogspot.com/2011/11/enough.htmlTo all those saying someone should do something – Be the change you want to see. We’ve been onlookers for too long. Emancipate yourselves with social media – I suggest organizing a tweet up.

Gr8 intellectual mas*****tion on the blog from the author and from zillions of reader comment… fact, as I make out is, these guys picked the fight and paid disproportionately for it…. hopefully the cops will do their job and justice will preval… and while that happens all you mumbaikars should get on with your lives with the now famous “Spirit of Mumbai”

This is a very infuriating incident… How can people murder others in such cold blood… Keenan and Reuben were just doing what any of my friends would have done if I were there… Having said that, sometimes it’s best to walk away when something like this happens… we will never be able to tell the difference between a harmful and harmless drunk! Onlookers are the worse kind. If all got together and helped, maybe these 2 would have been alive…Pussys!!! 
I hope both their souls rest in peace!

I m a resident of veera desai azad ngr r. Nd I m ashamed of wat has happend I jus pray gods peace b wid kennan nd rubens family for the huge lost nd may god gve sum brains to people around watchn nd the dirty politicians I nvr knew till today tht I m surrounded by such people who r a live threat to society.

Madam, I don’t think this kind of article will make any change in anyone’s life… People get killed here in many kind of different incidences.. What we all do is read, protest online, zada se zada koi article likho… thats it… did anyone bother to know why this happen??? Do you know what kind of people stay in this area…?? Kuch malum nahi and we start commenting thats it… With no offense to your article… Please get the complete picture of this area and the make this kind of articles..

Cheers 

This pain, is not going down. Wonder how, wonder what is it that I can do to ease this pain. Weeping for two brave friends I din’t know.
Thinking about that something that will help us help ourselves, ideas anybody ??

Its still paining. . . .

2 brave men died !! No one will be punished( as indians we r used to it eg Qusab) lesson for girls dress behave do wht u like no one will come to protect you & if they come it won be the justice league but a human who can barley save himself !!

i hate dis country i hate dis city n i hate these politicians they r all in d money making racket… RIP Reuben… v all salute u 4 standing up 4 d right!!!

I thought Reuben was out of danger, it is terrible that he died. This is such senseless violence. May their souls rest in peace & may their families get justice, & may those murderous thugs get a proper punishment.
The law enforcement agencies/justice system etc has to show us citizens that people cannot do things like this & get away with it. 🙁

/Reuben didn’t make it 🙁

What do  we expect from politicians &Cops in 2days world ….. they only need votes n money why will they care for a common man unless if dis would happen in their family….. they them self are half  murderers instead of standing for truth they r helping the murderers to crate more havoc … why will they fear for the law when these type of politicians & cops  are helping them to be free……are we living in a free country….. there is no safety for a woman……NO…….we are living in a blind, deaf & mute world were we see lots of Does it mean that we have to carry a weapon and roam on the street if I am out with my wife, sister or friends for self defence?
What
is happening to Mumbai? Floods, bomb blast, traffic, pollution,
politicians and many other things that lingers and now adding to that we
are heading to 1980 where people used to run on the streets with swords
and had their so called marked territories.  

PLEASE STAND FOR THE TRUTH SO THAT WE CAN GIVE KEENAN JUSTICE ……..

if you are a politician, break law and get away with it.nothing will happen.look at amar singh for example

This deserves to be shared. I don’t know the culprits or the victims personally but yes this could be anyone of us or our family members. More people need to know what is going on. Will share it on my facebook page.

Its really silly and shameful for people to come up with suggestions like “They should have done this”, “They should have avoided that” after the unfortunate event. Keenan was a friend of my friend and everything happened within minutes. Its always easier to criticize and suggest later. I know that had I been in Keenan’s place, I would have met the same fate irrespective of the action I took. They (Killers) wanted to kill him and came quite prepared. Lets hope Justice prevail over everything else. And please, no moral science lessons.

well, its relly sad to know what happend to those guys but fact remains tht for the ‘Honor’ of the girl they sacrificed their lives whereas the girls will prolly shed 2 tears and then continue with life….its stupid tht guys get soo influenced by girls and feel the need to act ultra smart on the road even though they know that the entire consequence will be felt by them and not the girl…….moral of the story, control ur ego, think abt the future and swallow ur pride rather than being too influenced by some girl….

A – I hope reuben makes it through and Keenan RIP
B –  Personally, I would always say avoid any physical or abusive verbal contact with a stranger because you never know the consequences of it regardless of you being right or wrong. The drunk man bumped into or molested the girl and her friends slapped and hit him and the drunk man then threatened them, seriously speaking if you receive any such threat you should contact the cops ASAP and get out of the area ASAP unless you want to stand there and possibly face an unfair fight like these boys did. OR if you do hit someone and he does threaten you its best you call someone, a friend, family anyone because mostly they will advise you to LEAVE or they will come to help you. Standing up for a girl’s honour is righteous and required but if the fight was avoidable by just taking the girl away and maybe gradually leaving the area this entire fiasco and one boy’s life and another boy’s critical condition would be avoided and the only price to pay for leaving would be subduing your own personal ego that someone did something and you let them get away with it and beyond that maybe the girl would say that you guys should have atleast hit him but believe me, avoiding a fight is the smartest thing you can do.
C – I cant say 100% that i too would’nt have hit the drunk man if he ‘molested’ my friend but i definitely would think twice before i hit someone simply because he bumped into her(sounds harsh but after reading keenan’s story i pride myself in avoiding fights but that doesnt mean i wont do that what is necessary if the time comes). At the maximum i think if they would have just pushed the guy or noticed him approach like a drunk idiot they should have pulled the girl between them.
D – If i did hit someone i would either hit someone so much so that he is rendered helpless and i dont have to face consequences but think about it, tomorrow you and your girlfriend are travelling and him and his friends are in the same area and he notices you, what are you going to do then ?
E – The questions you have raised are legitimate, why is a man convicted of 2 murder’s roaming freely? Why are politicians visiting the area and the prime accused in the case receives a sponsored lawyer from a congress MP
F – I would suggest instead of posting this online where we can type, click post and just read each others comments, you or anyone in mumbai should goto the local media wether it’s TOI or DNA or midday etc and give your version and thoughts of the story and bring it out among the mass public
G – A boy’s death by the hands of a drunk murderer and his goon-friends who can apparently disappear cannot be left like a old page in a history book, make it an issue because tomorrow it could be you, your son, me or my son or someone’s daughter or mother or any other human being!
H – And about the bystanders, yes they should have intervened but everyone in INDIA looks at a group of ‘Guys and Girls’ hanging out at a restaurant or paan shop as spoil brats and they rather not get involved in any situation arising from their presence there where as its the complete opposite during a automobile/pedestrian road accident where the larger vehicle is always at fault or if its guy and girl the guy is at fault and 3/4 times the mob over does its participation and beats up the person they deem is at fault.
I – We saw what happened with the Jessica Lal murder case but in this case, the man is no politicians son/father/brother but worse, he is quite likely a goon they use for compelling people in slum neighbourhoods to vote for the party that pays and protects him. Dont let this man and his incognito goons win or get away with it. If there is CCTV evidence, there are witnesses and a murder weapon has been found then justice has already tilted in the favour of the innocent and where as his disappearing goons are concerned, i have a difficult but possible suggestion, Those Criminals were how many 3+13? and they came in rickshaws and killed a young innocent boy and grievously injured another and if the LAW and some MP’s or parties are protecting them from receiving the strictest punishment under indian law(death penalty, because this isnt a case of a fight that led to murder this is an outright threat and pre-determined murder by him and his fellow criminals with intent to kill as they came armed with swords etc) then how many citizens are there in mumbai who themselves or their son’s and daughters roam around the city at night near pubs/restaurants/hotels/by-lanes/paan shops etc? There should be fear in the common man that this could be them or their child and you will get the support of the common man and believe me the common man will serve justice without the participation of the law.
J – When a cockroach comes into our home, we try to push it out of the window or something like that. We do the Human thing. BUT when more come and just dont leave, we spray pesticide.

Does it mean from now if we have to oppose any of these wrong doing happening in front of us we have to kill the person so that he doesnot go and come back with his friends to kill me?
Does it mean that we have to carry a weapon and roam on the street if I am out with my wife, sister or friends for self defence?
What is happening to Mumbai? Floods, bomb blast, traffic, pollution, politicians and many other things that lingers and now adding to that we are heading to 1980 where people used to run on the streets with swords and had their so called marked territories.
Please Save Mumbai

The blog did shook my Sunday laziness however i am not amazed, as due to the apathy of administration the immunity and apathy has transferred to society at large. No 1 can defend the onlookers, certainly not, But also need to understand, do we have system of managing post event like this. Your questions are kind of difficult in current situation and although it demands straight answer, its not easy to get straight answer unless non realistic ideal or heroic  character is assumed.
I do believe society has to play active role and not be fence sitters. But for society to act there has to be
conducive environment to act, which is to be provided by the state administration, independent of political and power gimmicks. The assurance of police helping the whistle blowers and also rendering
security to both alert citizen along with victim is imperative as against current situation of cover up and sheltering the culprits.
