why are some of you like kill the drive, beat the driver etc....it could have been the girl's fault as well, if she had ran onto the road without checking whether there's any vehicle approaching what can the bus driver do? its not always the motorists fault!!

ASFAR Tuesday, 21 June 2011 07:24 AM

who knows who is at fault. be open minded. may god bless the child with heaven. pray for the child.

What would happen if a pedestrian is killed by a motorcade vehicle of a politician? Would they still burn the vehicle?..... No, then it will be the fault of the pedestrian....What a mad place.

pulasthi126 Tuesday, 21 June 2011 02:38 AM

yea...they should hammer the driver..not the bus..but its fair..because it will be a future warning sign for the other bus drivers to drive carefully. we all know that those stupid drivers r road runners..stupid bunch of peoples who's not caing about the pedestrians in the road. so this is a good move generally.

shabba Tuesday, 21 June 2011 02:20 AM

not the bus , the freak and sycho driver should have been burnt alive . They drive really mad . Think they are the road kings

Chamara Monday, 20 June 2011 05:06 PM

Foolish way of justice. Owner will get a new bus with Insurance
money.

meranchi Monday, 20 June 2011 01:57 PM

No reason to torch the bus driver must be punish ...i

Rosh Monday, 20 June 2011 10:01 AM

ranfer Monday, 20 June 2011 09:02 AM

Roshan Monday, 20 June 2011 08:57 AM

Rosh, this is a private Bus transporting Garment workers,not transporting public.

Mahadana Mutta Monday, 20 June 2011 08:33 AM

one million rupees again !!!!!!

Sinnan Monday, 20 June 2011 08:06 AM

My sincere condolences for the little girl. Generally This is the value of human life in Sri Lanka

Sinnan Monday, 20 June 2011 07:59 AM

This is the Value for human life in this Country

KABAB Monday, 20 June 2011 07:56 AM

Rolls & Royce also met with an accident. But no casulties. Still they joined hands and produced the world's most expensive car. Why can't others follow without burning properties etc.

Rosh Monday, 20 June 2011 06:06 AM

This is why they want to increase the bus fares.

spark Monday, 20 June 2011 07:49 AM

Typical justice of the animal kingdom.

vin Monday, 20 June 2011 07:41 AM

idiots, the bus will be fully insured and the owner will get a new bus.

GanjaRabbit Monday, 20 June 2011 07:43 AM

oh yes it cud have been the girl was walking without a licence.

GanjaRabbit Monday, 20 June 2011 07:42 AM

usually bus drivers and owners are so naive that violence is the only language they understand. that is the truth though the readers start acting all humane now.

nanda Monday, 20 June 2011 07:35 AM

not really

Bumba Monday, 20 June 2011 07:30 AM

Maybe, maybe and maybe, the damage is done and justice served.

Asitha Monday, 20 June 2011 07:08 AM

Mr. I Hussein, you are 100% correct

dinesh Monday, 20 June 2011 07:01 AM

Not always

DXB Monday, 20 June 2011 06:58 AM

you are waht type of Modaya ? to say Hammer the driver without investigating the incident

Donkey Monday, 20 June 2011 06:53 AM

If government not able to enforce tough laws , people should find a way. This is very good move. Human life is the first.

DHA Monday, 20 June 2011 06:46 AM

Too much of accidents.......too much of careless drivers......

Pradeepk Monday, 20 June 2011 06:31 AM

Arent we gonna find better ways to deal with things.

pol adi bandu Monday, 20 June 2011 06:16 AM

Our Sinhala Modayas. No point burning the bus. They should have hammered the driver.

I Hussein Monday, 20 June 2011 06:15 AM

This is the typical SL today.
Sorry for the little girl who lost her life but will she get her life back? This bus maybe runing on a contract basis. Owner probably has got nothing to do with the accident. Maybe drivers fault maybe the child crossed heedlessly But the bus is gone. Tomorrow the workers will have a hard time finding transport.

Bumba Monday, 20 June 2011 06:04 AM

The best form of justice.
