Shame on this Gorilla bulling and miss handling a lady. This is a lawless country and day by day it is turning to a police state. It is not only there is no functional government but also no effective opposition. It is like a vehicle driven by a old senile driver without any breaks. Passengers going to get hurt and killed.
