When there is an example of violence and lack of justice at the top of the country, it is bound to prevail at the lower levels.

The younger generation today is not disciplined. In my mind the reason is Politicians have failed to guide them. Politicians at all levels engage in criminal acts their children follow the fathers and all of them escape. It is no surprise the younger generation follow them

Nowadays students are not taught civic responsibilities and religious teachings at school level. As such being educated still behaving like uneducated and get agitated on trifle matters and resort to crime.

Quality is dropping down so fast, The discipline and quality of students are hopeless. Many disciplined parents refrain from sending their children to sri lankan universities due to poor discipline among students. All fault of the system, since the rulers are responsible as leaders.

never in the history of sri lanka the level of crimes in this nature occurred in this magnitude.
Lawlessness from a-z punishment very rare -
I think it was a mistake happend in 1948 -
