Dear Basilio and Jose Oscar,
I second your posts, and the sentiments contained therein.
Fr. Eusebio is not around anymore to clear his name; He was brutally
murdered.
The Police Chief has released bits and pieces of the "confession" from the
alleged murderers. That may or may not be the whole truth. Don't really know
IF it served any particular purpose, save police propaganda, for the Chief
to release that statement. Are ALL and forensics the inquiries done with?
In the mean time, "we" are about "insinuating that the underlying motives
could be a homosexual relationship (group sex?) etc etc."
Yes...it could be anything, even our own mindsets...but ON what basis are
"we" speculating thus?
It is not as though this is the first or last time that a gruesome act like
this has happened or will happen.
Viva Liberation and the unregulated number of "Bhaille" across NO Borders,
it brought us.
A decade ago (in Velim) the "scouts" aka bhaille tied up an elderly woman
and hung her from the main beam holding the roof. Luckily the spunky
grandmother survived for 12 hours before someone came next morning, and
helped her down
At about the same time, another grandmother (this time in Nachinola) was
tied and dumped into the well - by a bhaillo who was given refuge + work in
the house - with tragic consequences.
In every village, these events happen with regularity. A rape here, a
robbery ther, a land grab there, and coercion somewhere else. Then there is
the killing.
Not that these things do not happen elsewhere in the world. They do ....
only, with the situation as exists in Goa ...with a lot of young folks
HAVING to work away to support the family, and the FREE PASS that these
folks have to enter Goa and disappear courtesy the Konkan Railway, the
situation can only get worse.
The Congress has brought in a culture of Corruption
The BJP added a violent element to the MGP culture of Zhalacch Pahije money
& land swipe.
The Police are a law to themselves.
The so called Journos continue to sit on the fence, drinking cups of tea &
writing bogus stories - while censoring others (wonder IF this one will get
through on GoaNet)
and Goans are being kept busy wondering whether there should or should not
be having a mandatory HIV test before marriage!
What is the Govt going to do IF the couple refuses to have their blood
taken? Refuse to grant them a marriage license ....and "force" them to
continue (commence) a clandestine (or open) resolution to their natural
intentions .....sans marriage? What if the couple went to (say) Bihar and
got civilly married ? Would Goa refuse to recognise the marriage (I wanted
to say "the Andamans" ...but that will touch a raw nerve among people who
believe that Indians are a race etc etc) (;-)
I could understand the young lady saying to the fella ..."let's have an HIV
test and repeat it in 4 months ... and then, may be ....if you use a decent
condom with a spermicide, I'll agree to sexual relations with you"
"or even .....marry you ! . In the meantime let's both get immunised with
the Hepatitis B vaccine."
But IF the Govt plans to protect any innocent party from unwittingly
contracting, HIV or Hep B, they may want to advise the couple to Do all
that is necessary to protect them .... WAY before they decide to get
married.
Unless ...we are ALL really going to sit on the fence with our ostrich necks
& heads stuck firmly in the sand.
BTW: did someone say that Hepatitis B was not a killer disease?
You see ....I did not know that !
good wishes
jc
