Loose delivery 4: The Lesser Evil

BANGALORE HORROR: The police lathi-charge on the fans who had queued up for tickets for the India-England match created much furore in the city last week. The Bangalore Police finally broke their silence on the issue and came out with an official statement on Saturday. " We had to cause minor injury to avoid major injury to the people", said a senior police official.

This "LESSER EVIL" logic was last seen used in 1945 when the Atom bombs were dropped in Japan. "Even though millions of people died, we managed to save the lives of billions more who would've died had the war continued."

The official further explained, "You see. People were forming big queues and hurling abuses. Like some great man once said, 'Injury caused by words is more dangerous than physical injuries'. So before people could hurt other with poisonous words, we beat them up and caused a stampede." Well done, Bangalore Police!
