We all love watching superhero movies, and it is evident in the box office results. We love playing heroes in video games and spend hours completely immersed in them. We see them in theaters, on our TVs and deeply desire to become them. But when it comes to reality, heroes are scarce.
A girl in Guwahati was publicly beaten and molested by at least twenty people. The number of attackers fluctuate with each report, but even so, she was attacked by more than ten people on an open road, in front of the club she had come out of and in front of anyone who cared to look.
As soon as the news came out, along came the conspiracies and the story has become mangled. It doesn't matter that she was drunk, or that the reporter had been filming instead of helping or even that the police came forty minutes late- what mattered was that the girl didn't have a hero to save her.
The reporter states that he had tried to intervene but since the attackers turned on him, he had resorted to filming instead. It was his video that helped the police identify the culprits, but the question raised was this- why didn't he do anything to stop this?The main suspect had apparently incited a mob to help him humiliate the girl, why couldn't the reporter incited one on his own to help the girl? The incident happened in front of a club. Weren't there any security guards around? What about the bystanders? Were they none or were they too scared to step forward?
Whenever a crime happens in front of us, as long as it doesn't involve us, we look the other way. After all, we don't want to get involved in a stranger's business. But a hero in our beloved movies and games wouldn't lose a breath before jumping in and helping. Perhaps they wear masks and it must be easy for them to conceal their identity or maybe they have a little extra courage to think of someone else other than them.
Whatever the reason, it would have been nice and brave of that one person to help that girl. Instead, she must now face the fact that the one who had done this to her, got away with the crime as recent reports state that he has still not been apprehended.
