RE: Shattered dreams of a better life in Canada

in #canada7 years ago

This is an absolute abominable disgrace and those are just mild words for the revulsion that wells up in my stomach and heart when I read stories like this. Political correctness be damned!!!

I have for a long time felt that political correctness was just an excuse those in power used to stifle our ability to question what is right and what is unquestioningly wrong. They wield it like a weapon. And to use it to excuse the beating, hospitalisation and potential death of any individual is abhorrent and vile!!! Raghna and all those who are beaten to a pulp to the point where they are either put in hospital or killed deserve so so so much more on a base level. They are being failed.

My feelings are a mix between disgust and utter sadness and it would be easy to sit here and say DAMN YOU CANADA!!! But the facts are that there are almost no western countries now where those like Raghna are defended. All we do is defend the monsters who commit these acts in the guise of political correctness for fear of being branded as Racist or Bigots etc. But this itself has inherent flaws in that we are now culpable of these acts as if we were committing them ourselves (those who create the laws and rules).

I could go on and on with my feelings on this matter because I have known too many people who have been abused by their spouse or partner and for the abuser to get off relatively scott free. No-one should have the right to destroy someones physical, emotional or mental wellbeing - NO-ONE!!!!!

I would also like to add for the record that I don't feel you have reported or posted anything wrong (unless there are any factual inaccuracies). However beyond that these atrocities must been revealed to the blinding light of day so that all those who do not realise that this goes on are awakened. We all need to fight this fight together!! We need to fight for those who cannot fight for themselves and are powerless.

@leopotato you are incredible for getting this story out to the world no matter who stifles your voice. You have found another voice who will not be silenced!

Much love to you and all who read this.
