I am no fan of Ranil and haven’t been so from the days of LTTE terrorist war as he was too damn soft on them. Anyway, here we have a much older Ranil from those dark LTTE days, who now stepped forward and reluctantly took the PM’s job that was offered to him by the then Prez Gota – ONLY AFTER that spineless, despicable jellyfish ModaDasa was offered it initially, but he was too scared to take it and to hide his cowardice, just kept putting one after another unacceptable conditions to Gota.
Now given that this ‘aragalaya’ being what it had morphed into then, (like Taliban/Polpotists), these heinous insurgents/terrorists scum who went on a murderous, drug-crazed, blood-thirsty, leftist/anarchist rampage and burnt this old man’s house, a man who had nothing do with SLPP Rajapakse regime (i.e. the regime that was held at fault by many), in my view deserve nothing less than CAPITAL PUNISHMENT! Why, because I believe their crimes are really TREASON and under the criminal code of SL, the punishment for treason can be just that!
