Where's Wimal Weerawamsa? Shouldn't he be out there supporting these kids like he once did? Probably watching this on TV Eating Lemon Puff.

So damn pathetic situation. Is this how our younger generation should do their studies. Going courts to get correct results and do protests to get teachers back to the classes, get proper exam papers, someone to mark their papers etc. So damn sad about what is going on in this Country. Just cant believe my eyes what is happening around us day bay day; but according to stupid speeches by polititions and this a heaven on earth. Sick of this.

If this was carried out buy patriots then even if the place was set on fire the police wouldn't have given a damn

Crazy Horse Friday, 07 September 2012 12:44 AM

The police are so good at this but are zeroes when it comes to solving crime, hence the call to the public to help them combat crime. Aren't they ashamed?

Dhammika perera Thursday, 06 September 2012 11:02 PM

Ayubo wewa maha rajanane!

Dean Thursday, 06 September 2012 11:07 PM

Must be fun and some looks wildly aggressive

Dilip Thursday, 06 September 2012 09:00 PM

I don't think the police officer is listening, may be day dreaming.
