What is going on in this nation?!

Placing stones on railway tracks to deliberately cause a derailment is nothing short of pure barbarity. No regard for human life.

The level of twisted indoctrination these individuals must undergo to commit such heinous crimes is beyond comprehension. It's all premeditated, cold-blooded terrorism.

There shouldn't be any room for leniency. This is attempted mass murder, and any perpetrator, regardless of age, should face the severest punishment. No juvie protection, no second chances—only the harshest punishment, for those who willingly gamble with the lives of countless innocent people.
