Hope justice is done with the dashing of the coconut

Looks dangerous. Ban Coconuts.

I can’t believe this, is it an offence to dash a coconut ? Police are behaving like untouchables !

@ Kumara: Except Robbing Public Wealth, ALL others are banned.

Is dashing coconuts a valuable and expensive consumer item a cultural ritual to appease one;s frustration or a show of personal animosity in public for cheap publicity or will artificial Intelligence show tnat bashing one's head on bended knees will bring immediate relief than a broken coconut much needed in any home

So if dashing coconuts is a crime close Seenigama Devale where all politikkas go to dash coconuts. Similarly Kataragama and many others.

If Police can do this, imagine where all of us will be (in jail) if those draconian bills like PTA and Online Safety bills were passed.

Incidents like this will only motivate MANY MORE CITIZENS to JOIN the GROUP that resulted in GOTA fleeing out of the Country and resigning. Hope that COCONUT paves the way to educate government officials in authority and last but NOT the least paves the WAY for JUSTICE.

WHEN WAS THAT A CRIME. Come on Coppers. More important things to do.
Herman Perera Tuesday, 21 November 2023 06:40 AM
Instead of dashing coconuts, he should have sung "Ive got a lovely bunch of Coconuts"
CitizenP Tuesday, 21 November 2023 07:39 AM
This shows that we have HIGHLY EFFICIENT Police Force.
wickrama wijayasiri Tuesday, 21 November 2023 08:49 AM
Only in Sri Lanka. Hilarious. How about a 'Kukul Billa' (sacrificing a chicken), Peretha Thatu, et. al. Does the police have any other work to do? Is this in the criminal code? Of course lawyers could make that so :-)
VJ Tuesday, 21 November 2023 09:59 AM
Dashing coconuts to vent the frustration resulting from no action taken by the law enforcement authorities? There may be hundreds of such incidents happening in the country soon. Those who dash coconuts at the Pillaiar temple, please be aware, you could be arrested.

don't worry...time is running out for the top cops...that's why they have all gone crazy

American commands implemented under Ranil won't be a solution to the people hit hard by the economic crisis.
