Can you bring him back !
Seems the cry of all the villagers and the mother of the 16 year old student who was killed by gunshot injuries. The mother of the second victim, a 19 year old student who was to sit for his A/ Level exams today also asks us, 'can you bring him back sir?'- and we could only be silent. Daily Mirror footage of the funeral procession and the mourning of a village.

This is not a war to use live bullets, certainly other methods could have been used. You don't use guns, even if poles were used. Very bad image for the defense. I am so sympathetic towards the mother of the victim. As i have mentioned in my previous comments, i repeat that it's the Innocents of this country who suffer a lot. At the rate things are happening, for certain "Boat People" will increase. Paradise Lost!

This is a tragedy. Loss of an innocent life. As to what happened in 2009, the ENTIRE country is behind the army. I hope the govt will act in this instance.

The question is to find hero's and not cowards. The 1983 riots was by cowards. Can you find any similar gangs of that nature to undertake for a good cause like this? No, cannot, because we Sinhalese are cowards. We will fight only when we are superior but not for a cause or principle.

We have seen 10000s of dead bodies killed by LTTE and also during UNP and JVP fighting times.
One or two is nothing in this country.
That is the reality, if you like or not.4 3

Killing students and innocent people is a crime,a grave crime. the persons who fired fetal shots must bring in front of law and do justice.

Yes, only a mother knows the grief but unfortunately the leaders don't know. They only know the colour of money.

A mother's grief is unmatched to any despite all the explanations/facts they were told about their irreplaceable loss.
May all those involved in this senseless crime rot in hell. RIP for the young lives lost.0 7

Can we bring Law and order back in the country? People in the country must understand now where we are heading to with those army involvement to civil administration. If not we have to get ready for another 71 or 89.

Entire country is watching to see who will get punished for the horrendous crime. Somebody from the army should take responsibility for shooting order. In a country like Japan, the Defence minister and Army Commander would have resigned. Unfortunately this happened in paradise! it is a shame !

How could this happen? In a true democracy the people have a right to assemble and protest. Dissension is an integral part of any democracy. How could they use lethal force [fire] on unarmed citizens?

How to console a mother in a time like this, what can anyone do.. how cruel this world is. Mothers love is eternal. I pray to god, to bless this innocent mother. The govt should first sack the brigadier who spoke like an idiot to the people of weliweriya.

My heart goes out for the family of these innocent young men. What a heart breaking story! People's life has become so cheap in this country now and government is ready protect the interest of few privileged crooks and they can deploy country's army. I only hope that this country's justice prevails through some miracle or otherwise this will be worse than some of the worst places we have heard.
