I think the entire fiasco speaks volumes of our national security apparatus' ability to control such situations.
And i'm not convinced about the sincerity of those protesting. If Faisal was a Jehovah's witness for example would there have been a protest?
@Rad, I'm adding an amatuer opinion here and needs correcting. I think the whole problem goes down to the security people who frequently come short of containing situations and as such things get out of hand. At this time, all that damaged property and loss of life is due to lack of tact and ability to maintain law and order. Heads should start rolling if I were in the security docket. That image in the standard says a lot. If the guy is on some wanted list, what is stopping him from being "handed over"? There is no point of saying he is on some wanted list then do nothing concrete about it and leave its effects to become a KE "public opinion" problem. At the same time, the KE security guys are trained on these matters, so why does no one have a solution? Typical approach : Let the problem incubate, then try and fix it with short term solutions. Sad that the temporary solutions come at the expense of loss of precious lives, property and peace. .... outta here. :-)
