Pack Attack

Odisha's gang rape case. Four of the ten males were minors. Below 18 years old. School age.

I love dogs. But I am always extra cautious when I move among a pack or spot a pack in the distance. Even if there is a dog that I know to be friendly in the pack. Because I have observed 'Pack Mentality' often enough to know how dangerous it is. A dog on its own that is friendly and loving can turn in an instant when it is part of an attacking pack.

Nowhere else do I so strongly realize how much humans are animals as when I come across gang rape stories. A few years ago, I read about a couple of girls who went camping. Encountered a group of guys also camping. Everything was fun and friendly. Then the mood turned. Two of the guys initiated the attack. Everyone else joined. In the aftermath, the friends and family of a couple of the attackers were in disbelief, because they were known to be decent, great guys. But they 'went along'.

Remember Nirbaya? The boy who couldn't rape her didn't want to be left out, so he used a steel rod.

If you haven't watched the movie Gargi, atleast read up on its plot. Insightful.

Always avoid packs, women. How many ever legs they have.
