Encouraging criminality through condonation

A minibus turned turtle. And it did at a very busy spot of a busy road. Kawran Bazaar is the venue of this dramatic achievement by two competing drivers --just two members of a highly accomplished breed of men who, according to a minister with a portfolio other than the road have received a different kind of certificate. The certificate concerns the ability to recognise cows and goats that stray away right on the highways unaware of the danger from speeding vehicles. No matter if they can recognise or not the U-turn, speed limit, indications of bridge ahead etcetera.
One wonders why these sporting men behind the steering wheels did not opt for car racing. Racing cars would have been the right vehicle for them. A Niki Lauda or Ayrton Senna, Formula-1 champions of Bangladeshi version would have emerged from among them. Why one, perhaps dozens of them would have earned laurels for this glory-starved nation. They are indeed so enormously gifted that the rickety buses, minibuses or trucks they drive cannot match their skills of far superior kind.
So they cannot be blamed for bringing one or two minibuses upside down. Perhaps the capital's busiest road right beside Kawran Bazaar only saw staging one of the car races by default. The problem though is for the unfortunate passengers who took the bus ride. With approval from the minister mentioned earlier, the drivers were within their rights to be completely oblivious of the insignificant soul inside their vehicles. Their fun ride got an extra dimension because of the panicky passengers who were crying hoarse to stop the race.
But these are drivers of a special kind and they love thrill and romance in putting their vehicles on top gears. If both come dangerously close to each other, the better for their enjoyment. When in such a race, racing cars are more likely than not to turn turtle or hit one to cause a chain reaction of pushing and falling sideways. In this case, just one of the competing minibuses settled on its roof with the four wheels directing towards the sky as a result of the impact. There is nothing wrong in such mishaps when racing takes place on an exclusively marked highway or road. There are several bends and also some protection for drivers and onlookers with barricade along the racing road.
In this case, the drivers concerned had no option but to use the busy road. It is not their fault that the governments could not as yet prepare a racing track for cars. When the impulsion becomes overpowering, they try their hand right on the busy roads or highways. It is not their lookout to see what happens to whom. They are taking vehicle racing to a new level. If some of the passengers get killed or injured as a result, why should they care? Aren't they covered by a kind of indemnity!  
Such is their clanish support that they can take passengers hostage on the smallest of pretexts. The passengers may have no part in the bone of contention involving their personal interests not even remotely linked to transportation, but they would arbitrarily enforce transport strikes. They have taken the arms-twisting tactic to its extreme. Its impact on law and order is telling. A tribal mentality has developed in all walks of life. One has to belong to a powerful vested interest group in order to feel safe. Social justice is fast becoming irrelevant to muscle power.
Emboldened by the sense that any act of crime will be condoned by the party or group at the cost of the rule of law, criminals acquire a mentality of 'could not care less'. Society is paying heavily for this lawlessness and lack of justice. When there is need to improve or reform one's skill or habits, people become casual and frustrated. Hopelessness at times drive some to exact revenge. Thus some are criminalised against their will.
