There is a logical interpretation of that than the emotionally biased meaning given to it. The extent to which he was frustrated and infuriated by the woman's indirect justification of her act.

manny4life:

That is why I asked na,

It's ok for a Judge to sentence someone to DEATH because they stole recharge cards (not armed roberry or even violent theft), but someone who steal billions at the expense of patients in the hospital, bad roads that leads to numerous accidents, poor safety standards and metrics in different boards and entities, even pensioners who end up committing suicide, they allow these same folks walk free. If this isn't a form of physiological violence, then what is?

Meanwhile, go tell that to the U.S. Judge who sentenced Bernie Madoff to 150 years in Jain "TWICE", as well as other well known sentence the difference between armed robbery and non-violent theft.

AdannayaBella: Some pathetic people with unbelievably daft reasoning on this thread continuously screaming "She broke the law, she broke the law." What law did she break when she is not even a hawker? A fact that should already have been established if you fish brains took 2 minutes out of your pitiable lives to watch the video. In your unintelligent minds, that woman was a hawker trying to sell goods still sealed in huge cartons? How is that even plausible? You guys need to straighten out your thinking faculties, it's too wretched.

rudedough:

No! Doctors like me save more lives cos I can tear you open and eat my lunch 5 mins after the surgery. Those doctors who have your kind of emotions throws up and shakes like a jelly fish when the see a cadaver.

Life is not what you think it is bro. Open your eyes to the reality.

pmc01:

We are talking Nigeria not US sir and I wonder what the ruling of a Judge on a case has to do with the subject of discourse.

manny4life:

The Constitution was drafted and signed by who? How do you define a govt? A govt is -, by the - and for the - (now fill in the blanks).

Please don't preach about Constitution, the Edo state people are the govt, they make their laws so if they deem that their govt has erred, they should remove him... Shikena.

You can uphold the law without being rude and callous and most importantly being unethical and uncouth about it. Like I said, Edo citizens reserve the right to impeach him immediately.

rudedough:

The woman has a right to press charges, I don't know she should get a lawyer and know her options.

We live in a civilised society and I still think that the Governor's choice of words is very wrong.

But hawking, nah nothing kills an economy more than when people steal jobs instead of creating one.

We need to expand our middle class. That's the catalyst for a growing economy. Enough of these hawking already, we've been hawking since 1960 or before.

rudedough:

Until you give up those emotions, it'll be hard for you to push forward in life. I'm a Medical Doctor and I can assure you that I've seen more emotions from patients in ICU but that doesn't mean that the surgery wouldn't be performed.

Think about the greater good. If everyone starts crying and begging like this woman, what do you think would be of our society?

Armed robbers cry too
Ritualists cry more
Even Kidnappers
...name them.

You cannot rule a state or a family wearing a sweat pant. Rules are rules and any who defaults must face the law. It's that simple.

eagle,eye:

please be adviced that uptill today, I have not had the heart to watch the Aluu Video. Somethings are too gory to be watched.

.

I have nothing more to say to you concerning what The Governor said to the Widow.

jice:

Is this woman an Armed robber?
Is she a kidnapper?
Is she a ritualist?
How many of these criminals has he caught?
You are one of the book doctors withouth even any psychology of human behaviour. Who knows how many patients you would have killed with your undecerning book knowledge

Florida Cop Buys $100 in Groceries for Woman Caught Shoplifting Food

A struggling Florida mom who was caught trying to shoplift hundreds of dollars of groceries ended up with food and a ride home from a kind-hearted police officer, instead of a ride to the stationhouse.

When Miami-Dade Police Officer Vicki Thomas, 55, was dispatched to look into a shoplifting case at a Publix grocery store, a store manager led her to Jessica Robles.

“She was crying. I said, ‘Okay, what did she take?’ And he pointed to a grocery cart that was full of groceries,” Thomas told ABCNews.com. “I’ve been on [the job] 23 years, and I went, wow.”

“She just filled up the grocery cart and she just walked out, which shocked me and I asked her, ‘Why?’” Thomas recalled. “She said, ‘My children were hungry.’ And that immediately impacted me.”

Thomas said Robles told her through tears, “I’d love to be able to tell you I’ll never do this again, but I can’t because my children are hungry.”

“My grandchildren flashed before my eyes,” Thomas said. “I knew at that time what I was going to do. I knew I was going to buy her groceries.”

Thomas and her partner took the woman to their car, completed her paperwork and then Thomas asked her to wait a few minutes.

“I grabbed my debit card, ran back into the store and bought things that would sustain her for a week or so and when I walked out she saw that I had the cart of groceries and she burst out in tears and asked if she could hug me, which is kind of unusual for the suspect to be hugging the officer,” Thomas said with a laugh. “I let her hug me.”...

rudedough:

You have freedom of speech.

You all don't know that in law, a crime is a crime. The gravity of the crime would be decided in a law court.

The term criminal doesn't mean a thief. Over speeding is a crime and you are termed a criminal for over speeding.

Armed robbers, murderers, traffic offenders or hawkers are all the same criminals. So don't take the word criminal out of contest.

I'm not being cold I'm only trying to be objective. As for killing people, I don't but know that we all die. You may be 99, a middle age man, a teenager, a baby, even a fetus. Death is inevitable.

Sad reality again.

coogar:

you are a disgrace to the university that have you your degree. scratch that, you can't even be a doctor with this bottom-level intelligence you have displayed here.

how can you compare this innocent woman to an armed robber, kidnapper or ritualist when all she's done was attempting to move her wares from one point to another?

i think the poverty in nigeria has desensitised the average nigerian. this is why many of you have no pity for this woman trying to eke a living. they say crime does not pay & yet they still seized this woman's wares.

rudedough, you should be ashamed of yourself for justifying this barbaric act from this irresponsible governor. if there's any justice in this world, amadioha shall impregnate you with 6 albino midgets.

onye nzuzu!

manny4life: How are you sure @rudedough is even a doctor?

The internet is a virtual place where anyone claims anything, you can see through peoples actions and comments... Who dash am doctor? Doctor for where...

Address the point he was trying to drive home with that post and quit the comic act. Be law-abiding.

The constitution is not same as public opinion, please get your facts right sir, no offence.

manny4life:

Which is?

kokoA: You don't use such words on your human being no matter what.. That was cold oshiomole.

pappilo:

You must be a quack doctor. No real doctor could have watched that video and try to justify what that ugly barsteward said to the widow. A widow's means of livelyhood, probably acquired over many years of hard work was being taken away from her and you think its justified. Have you no empathy?

No law in Nigeria gives anyone the power to seize the property of a person who has alighted from a bus at an undesignated stop.
