Why?
This guy is a hero.
He was attempting to scare away UNP troublemakers headed by Mangala with a toy gun.
And the UNP folks actually ran, vey fast, when they saw the toy gun.
The gutless UNPers hid under their beds including Mangala.
Isn’t this guy a hero? he doesn’t deserve a jail sentence; he deserves a padakkama.
Whe GR becomes Prezzy, he will be pardoned.
Yes, indeed, these days suicide bombers and killers getting ‘Padakams’. Actually you do not need a gun to scare off UNPs. After the next election results they will run for life and jump in the Indian Ocean and swim towards Western Countries. Because these UNP guys have won the heats & minds of westerners!
No worries mate Eraj Fernando.
The Panb*** in the King’s Chair will pardon you soon.
If not, the SLPP President who will assume office in Jan 2020 will shut down all prisons and return inmates to their families so that they contribute openly to the flourishing drug trade.
