India is becoming the Wild West.
These parts are not welcome to you, Pardner!
It just seems that this is a period all nations seem to go through when devloping- increasing wealth causes increasing avalibility of weapons and increasing issues associated with that wealth. The US went through a similar patch in the 20th centuary. Hopefully the Indian police reforms are speeded up so there is an effective service to keep the peace.
It is also possible that in the age of 24/7 news cycle that such incidents are hyped up and reported when in the past they happened but went unreported.
Either way such a thing happening at a hospital is a huge no-no and I hope the wrong doers are brought to book.
+ in this situation would the police have sent a SWAT/QRT?
