    Today Sri Lanka has detonated to the lowest depth. There is no discipline. Who is responsible?

    Yes you are correct, find the gun maker and the customer who wanted to buy (Should be a Underworld gangster with political background), they are the real criminals.

    Future politician....Can I get his address? He has the potential to become the president of Sri Lanka

    zenith8 Wednesday, 17 November 2010 11:56 AM

    Well its time for the government to offer a price for unauthorized guns kept near public and other harmful weapons I think : )

    Now the Education Minister might want all schools to have one period for instructions in bomb and firearms making.

    sampath Wednesday, 17 November 2010 05:26 AM

    No surprise.

    Dirty politicians ruined over society. All the uneducated thugs went to parliament and behaved as beast. The younger generation followed them. This is the result!

    Sharma Wednesday, 17 November 2010 06:37 AM

    He will be pardoned by the President and may be a future cabinet minister.

    Eagle eye Wednesday, 17 November 2010 06:33 AM

    Even if we nip the bud we will not solve the problem this child is tool for some other persons gain please get to the root of this issue and not penalize an innocent kid. If at all we should educate these children and protect these kids.

    Manivannan Wednesday, 17 November 2010 06:15 AM

    If Mervin can walk around with Guns , why not others. In Sri Lanka only the good guys are unarmed. all criminals are very well armed. I know a minister's son got down a machine pistil he was only 19 at that time.

    pbj Wednesday, 17 November 2010 06:09 AM

    In my point of view , in a country like Sri Lanka arresting under-age school goers should be banned by law as it may cause bad effects on such ones future . there must be another way to deal with unlawful acts like this. However , torturing is a tactic practice as the easy way by badly trained un-clever police men but never in UK or USA.

    Is the father a deputy minister?

    SK Wednesday, 17 November 2010 05:49 AM

    Something is wrong with the society he is living in. May be he is a son of a poor family. We must punish the wrong doing people in this society. Anyway we must rehabilitate these youngsters. By putting them to the jail is not going to solve the problem, only aggravate. We all know why. So I think solution is let these kids/ youth get some education & deciplene in the rehabiltation centres (or some kind prison) where no chance of associating adult kirimanals.
